I was a low weight/BMI going in. I'm 5'5 I was 217, 36 BMI. I had a revion from a band to a sleeve in on surgery. I started my pre op process in October had Surgery on Jan.11. I currently weight 170 BMI 26. I eat right, exercise feel good. But when I go see the surgeon every two weeks, he keeps telling me how I should be faster more weight. Ugh. I'm trying to be positive in my process but that makes it hard. So my question where does you motivation come from? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using BariatricPal mobile app

Anyone else get nervous once you got close? What is something you wished you knew? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using BariatricPal mobile app

It has to do with how opiods effect the stomach, not restricting pain mangement. From what I've told. It is to prevent constipation and slowing of digestion along with other things. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using BariatricPal mobile app

Feeling food bored..My office requires every patient to under go Medical weight loss 1st. For me this eating 4x a day only allowed bars, shakes, or protien soups(1of each) no snacks, no real food nothing else. My follow up is in 6weeks!! If I lost my set amount of weight(10%of body weight) I get my surgery. Has anyone else done this? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using BariatricPal mobile app
