I had been hearing so much about a two week pre op liquid diet, so I was afraid I'd go under the required BMI. But it was not required for me. Find out so that your RD knows everything she's dealing with. I actually gained a couple of pounds right before surgery, but no one weighed me on surgery day. Blessings

There's nothing at all wrong with a hamburger. As long as you don't eat and drink the rest of the stuff that goes along with it.

95% of weight loss is diet. Even those of us with surgery have to alter our diets. If you can't control your hunger, it might be worthwhile to see a doctor as well as a counselor to determine why.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I weigh 196 pounds and I want to reduce my weight. The main problem is that I'm not able to control my hunger, also I eat junk foods. I know it's not healthy and I should limit but I can't help when someone comes with sweets or hamburger. I just love it!! Is there a way to reduce my weight without compromising my favorite foods? This is the main reason why I'm not going to a dietitian.

I am 3 weeks post op and found out (the hard way) that I cannot tolerate eggs. I am so sad. I LOVE eggs cooked in all ways. I am hoping this is temporary as they are filling , cheap and a great source of protein. But, just had my THIRD ( yes it took me three times) dumping -like syndrome feeling pretty bad.
so I hope it passes and I can some day go back to my beloved eggs!
Re below msgs - well that got confusing. But I wanted to say thank you for posting that, I found it useful and I'm sure there are otheRS that would too

Hi cheapskate,
It's up to you what patch you want to order. I use the Multi, D with calcium and B. Check with your surgeon on what he wants you to take and go by your labs. Remember check your labs and if you see any drop even if it's still in the "normal" zone for us that means we need to up the amount.
There is a 30% discount just type in obesityhelp
Good Luck to you and let me know if you need anything else.

I want to order the vitamin patch and need to know what to order. I take a multi and calcium citrate.
Looking for specific ordering information and any coupon codes.
Thanks!
