    No F#$ckin BMI Way

    Agree @AJ Tylo I don't want to go below 185 either; personally.. unfortunately I don't really have any muscle at all so I'll have to start some weights soon I think

    16 WEEKS AND 107LBS DOWN.

    Yoghurt and hummus mostly. Tried a few solid type things but hard to adjust.. if I eat a little too much or too fast it will come back up so I'll have to figure out what I can or can't tolerate... But I'm usually pretty satisfied with my shakes anyways

    No F#$ckin BMI Way

    I've always said BMI SCALE is very vague; doesn't account for genes. Bone structure. Build. I'm 6ft0 and I'll be happy to get to 185-195lbs but on the bmi scale that is 25-26 and overweight which is ridiculous... I don't ever plan on being below 180. I got to about 195 in 2012. And people thought I was sick unwell...

    3 miscarriages since WLS - help!

    Have you been keeping check up of all your vitamin levels? If your levels are low maybe the baby cannot strive?

    Give it at least a week before you do a test it can take a few days Just for the egg to be fertilized.

    I feel so stupid right now....

    It will take getting used to never eating like you used to.... I used to scoff down like 3 fully stacked burgers with the lot In record time... The other day I tried to just eat one tiny little patty of 1-2oz size and after a few bites I was done! Sometimes it can be an issue mentally adjusting to this new way of life... But you have to remember the reason why you got this surgery and to keep focused!

    Gastric Bypass complications

    7 weeks post surgery tomorrow... No issues at all just big pain the first few days then manageable pain the first week. Back to normal physically just learning how to adjust to chewing everything so much before swallowing...

    Eating a tiny sandwhich, yay or nay?

    I'm just starting solid type food and after a few bites I'm done. I would not touch anything heavy like bread or rice or pasta as it can expand in your tiny pouch and be uncomfortable.

    WLS and Medicare approval

    Everyone knows how to not lose weight..

    Sister freaking out about me considering WLS

    So she's just worried about not being able to eat the crap that makes you fat.. So she doesn't understand you value your health now more than food itself.

    Pre-op diet

    My surgeon suggested optifast but I found my own that I could tolerate. You've got to live off shakes for a while so you need to be able to enjoy them. Plus I saved money buying mine in bulk as well

    coffee problems

    Be wary of additives or hidden sugars... I just buy a half decent brand from the local supermarket and add hot water and I'm good no issues at all... Been drinking coffee regularly the last couple of WEEKS!
  17. Goal weights can be vague.... My surgeon was happy for me to get to 100kg(220) I've passed that I'm 218; The dietitian says 199lbs(90kg) but bmi says 175-190; personally I'll be happy to get under 200 whether that be 185 or 195 I'm yet to decide until I get there

    Bitching "fiance"

    I hate men like that....make us look bad.. Insensitive. Insecure. Sad man.
  19. Report the doctor to the medical board.. They are not meant to have bias. They take an oath and duty of care. Find a better doctor after surgery..

    Minimal Weight loss

    Id be looking closely at every single thing you put in your body.... Your intake would be so low this early it's almost impossible to not lose weight....?

    Can I take Xenical before surgery?

    Yeah sounds like not prepared for surgery at all..
  23. Hello there I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.. I've been on shakes a long time no issues with that or yoghurt consistency... Soon as I started this week some solids like healthy slice meat or a tiny 2oz chicken free range burger.. I had to chew a lot.. But as the burger was going down i could literally feel it going down my neck into my stomach felt weird and was Almost like indigestion until it settled in my stomach after about 10 mins but then I had to rush to toilet and some clear liquid came back up my throat with a little foam.. It has happened a few times.. Am I eating too quickly? Should I only have one bite then wait then have the next bite? Rather than just chewing the whole 2oz burger quickly.. I've been doing amazing but until experimenting with solid stuff has not been pleasant... So far I've tried some sliced meat which was ok but still felt weird going down.. The burger made me throw up some clear stuff...Took time to settle in my belly... Had 2 little cherry tomatoes that didn't agree with me at all came straight back up... What am I doing wrong?????? Thank you everyone I'm 6.5 weeks post op.
