The dreaded "in-between" stage in clothing sizes - HELP!



Recommended Posts

@@scstxrn Sometimes immediately, but other times hour or 2 later and sometimes the next morning dinner comes out.

In the morning, I have a cup of Decaf coffee, and shortly after i have a normal bowel movement, however before I leave for work I usually have to go 1 or 2 more times and its watery. So needless to say I am probably loosing everything I eat except for the bad stuff which could prevent me from loosing I would think. Heck I don't know!!

I really need to get in my Vitamins, (which I keep forgetting) and get my Water in (which doesn't occur to me) which may eliminate the issue. I did copy a menu plan down from another site and it's food I like, and it also includes the the times to drink the liquids so if I hang that at home and at my desk at work I should be able to follow it to a "T". We'll see if that works...if not, I will contact my Doc. and see whats up!!

With all that being said, again...I am losing so could be just need to re-vamp what I am currently doing.

@@Eclectick I could not drink the shakes post-op but my NUT kept after me to do so. I have tried and returned several in the past 3 months. I have finally found PE Science Snickerdoodle..OMG...so good, I could eat it by the scoop. I mix it with 12 OZ of fair life milk for a glorious 44 grams of Protein. I eat lunch that consist of a lean Protein and a veggies...a nectar shake-fuzzy naval at the gym and then a small dinner usually cottage cheese, protein and veggie or yogurt. I usually end up at about 90 grams of protein and 500-600 calories. Put you Vitamins in a med box and carry them in your bag..set an alarm on your phone and take them. Always have a bottle or glass of Water with you and drink...This is the hardest thing I have every done and I have struggled but it's your life and your future. Take care of yourself. Be well!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
