Yes i drink - Love my vodka and Gatoraide, However it does takes it toll on you, I feel like hell if i over due it and for sure realize it is not a good thing! As for the empty calories i do not care i am trying to get calories in

yes the do - Mine does also Doc said because it is empty and small it goes Wacky when you eat. Suppose to go away but mine still does it Not every time but still goes nuts at time

Best decision you will ever make = Start reading this site and just search by a topic. As for over eating the surgery is going to limit you - so as long as you head is in the game you will be fine - You will test the waters and get sick we all have tried to push it, but you quickly will learn what and how much you can handle. Just remember this is a tool and you need to set the workshop up!

They have no clue as to where you will bottom out - NO way to tell - I was told to expect 65 -90 pounds He missed it by a bunch - I am trying to stop losing weight but my body still wants to lose! I can shred weight by working out and eating right or i can slow it down by adding calories. You will be able to regulate where you want to be so do not worry to much about the guess by the doctor, Everybody is different some people stall out while others just keep losing - SImply put its up to your behavior and eating habits

I agree No gift cards back! I give a ton of money and time to charity and people and i give because i like to give and help others, I am very fortunate to have the ability to do this, I would feel uncomfortable if i gave or helped someone and they sent me a gift back. I think the handwrittin note is fine or Sponsor a family or others in need and let everyone know that you are paying it forward for all the help they gave you! Sponsor something in the name of everyone the helped you. WLS Paying it forward foundation/Event!

You nailed it ............ It is a tool and you have to have the whole workshop in order. It is not easy at all. Nobody here is going to say, wow i just got the surgery and still ate like the fat obese animal i was and the weight just fell off. However if you use this tool right it will be the best decision you ever made. The issue is not the volume of food. For example i ate 3 cookies yesterday, PreOp i would have eaten the whole bag, I run on about 800 calories a day, Pre op It would be safe to assume i was 3000 plus a day. All the surgery will do is enable you to follow a set of guidelines that will get you healthy and fit,

Depends I can step up to the plate and send the little guys in and hit the target! This is such a open question but i would consult with a OB, Not us wack jobs on this site!

Two things i suggest 1. Make your own broth or base - Make it strong and sip it from 5-bed- That will fill you up 2. Vodka and Wine are liquids! (Ok bring it on girls i know you are going to jump on me for this one) - But vodka definalty helped me thru days 5-7 - 3. You can nutra bullet a Clear soup like japannese clear soup - Sold at any Japan food place - https://www.aspicyperspective.com/japanese-clear-soup-recipe/

Screw the run approach - Stay on night shift you enjoy the people! My advice is you are about to go on a journey and it will have some speed bumps! The last thing i would do is switch your shift when it appears you are enjoying the co workers and atmosphere. You go into this with a mind set of I GOT THIS ............ Food will not be that much of a concern after the surgery, Just stay on your plan to get healthy and fit! The mental games are rough in the begining so i would advise you to stay with what you like and get rid of the FOOD obsession. F@#ck FOOD you do not need it to be happy you do not need it to heal emotions, you just need a little bit to fuel the body!

Depends on the food for example Soup goes right thru so you can eat alot more soup - Now take a 4oz steak and that will not pass - I would not be to concerned about volume i focus on the calories and specs of food Eat healthy and the shakes will fill you up, hard to get used to eating so little but you will

Dr Bass in Naples Florida 12,500 cash and very good at this! DId me

500- 800 good clean calories worked for me! especially if you are light on the exercise. Try dropping down in calories see if that works

Not in your age bracket === But Grace you go for it girl! This is something you want you do it! May help you hit the 100 year old club - I commend you on your decision!

14 pounds in 8 days - But that was mostly due to Not drinking and eating only liquids

Just chill out the mind games are brutal - It gets better and you are on the way to the greatest feellings you will ever have, I have seen this post a ton of times the last 8 months so you are not alone! I was not trying to be brutally cold but i wanted to make a point. Also i crashed big time also, so i know what you are going thru I was not ready for post Op and had big issues. I did a long post months back on it if you want to read it. My suggestion is do not weigh yourself all the time. After i crashed i went to a bi monthly weigh in. The 1st and the 16th of the month. Then average the two numbers from the previous month and multiply by 12 - This is a Journey not a Sprint. Get healthy is the key, So focus on eating right getting your vitamins and minerals set up, start moving more and the Good things will come. You got this we all have been there!

Just walk around the block or go to a mall if it is cold and walk the mall for a few hours! NO STOPPING at the food court -

Here i go again - ITS SIMPLE MATH 11 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS= 5.5 POUNDS A WEEK SO PER MONTH = 5.5 X 4 = 22 POUNDS A MONTH SO PER YEAR = 22 POUNDS PER MONTH - X 12 MONTHS= 264 POUNDS THIS TIME NEXT YEAR so YOU THINK YOU COULD LOSE 264 POUNDS WITHOUT THE SURGERY YOU ALONG WITH MANY HAVE GOTTEN THIS RESPONSE - GET OFF THE SCALE AND BE HAPPY YOU ARE GETTING HEALTHY, YOUR HEAD IS MESSING WITH YOU, ITS CALLED WLS HEAD GAMES~ Congrads and welcome to the jungle we have all been there,

its coming try a little side action for now or i chose to sleep in a recliner for a few nights

You got this it will get better - I wish you all the best in health as you go thru this hell and misery! Stay strong and reach out anytime if you just want to chat

First things first - Congrads on realizing your head is fu@ckin with you! Simple way is i get away 0 Go outside take the dog for a walk, Go wonder thru a store. Also keep a photo of your pre surgery on your phone, Look at it and see how unhealthy and unhappy you were, So why the hell would you binge it again! I have littel emotions also a male and a ice cold one, So someone else will get on that! Bottom line you can not get mind F@#cked - You take control and this is your journey. Nothing can stop you!

Move yes work out as much as you can - Trust me i did it and it really shred the weight

Do you have four holes in your belly - I think you are just lucky with what you can eat and amounts Try this eat a bowl of grits and rice and huge potatoes

Hang in there you will get to surgery room shortly

Get Er Done! You will never be happier and healthier - My only advice is this is a journey and get you mind and body ready for it. DO NOT GOOGLE THINKING ABOUT WEIGHT LOSE SURGERY - JUST READ THIS ENTIRE SITE
