A lot has gone on the past 6 weeks from feeling like I have lost my mind for having WLS to everything will be ok and then back again. I have had so much trouble with eating. I no longer like the taste of food anymore don’t want to be around it at a

I’m still on soft foods for now, but one of my biggest problems before WLS was eating out. It was much easier to hit a drive thru and be done. I have to break that habit. I’m looking for tips/idea on how everyone does their meal planning and prep

My birthday is 2 weeks away and I am just 3 weeks out of surgery now. Will be 5 weeks when my birthday comes around. I know that I need to stay away from birthday cake and anything sweet. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I could have

Yesterday I got rapped up in talking while eating and wasn't waiting the 5 minutes between each bite and I got the most uncomfortable pain in my chest. I knew what it was and stopped eating right then and got up and walked to the restroom in case I go

I have noticed on the menu post that a lot of people still drink protein drinks. Is this something that I will need to do for the rest of my life to or do you do it just supplement the protein your not getting.

I am a little over a week out from surgery. I am keeping nausea even with the nausea medication. I have noticed if I'm drinking something heavy like the protein drinks or milk I don't have as much nausea. I can start eating soft food until 08-10-201

I had my surgery 07-26-2017. I have been doing great on my full liquid diet until yesterday. Nausea has set in and it looks like it is here to stay. I can't drink any water at all I just feel so sick when I do. I was able to drink two PowerAde zero'

I was discharged on Thursday evening around 5pm. Still very little to no pain which I was very shocked at. I have been going none stop. I do stop to take some breaks because I do get out of breath very easily. Stopped all pain meds on Friday and I

betterlifeforme posted a discussion topic 6 years, 8 months ago

My surgery is scheduled for July 26. I go tomorrow to see when I start my Pre-surgery diet. I have been so positive through the process of test to get where I'm at now, but for some reason the closer it gets I'm questioning myself on whether or not I

My surgery date was changed to July 26. I'm trying to figure out how to change it on here. Anyone know how? I search and found a post from 2012, but when I try to do that it comes up page not found. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone had trouble with people understanding why you made the choice to have surgery?

Just had my stress test done yesterday? That was the last test that I had to complete to get my surgery scheduled. I have dealt with my weight for 17 y
