from what i have been told you need 60 ounces + of fluids a day more when its hot and your body needs at least 800 calories a day to survive or it goes into starvation mode and it will keep everything you put into it and slow weight loss down or may even cause gain

I would love some PS and hope that my insurance is willing to foot the cost. Congratulations on your loss and best wishes for continued success. 273/157/150

I was never told by my surgeon or nutritionist to count calories. Sorry I don't have an answer. I'm 11 months postop and drink 100+ oz of fluids daily and consume between 500 and 1200 calories a day depending on my mood and appetite. Some days I can eat more and some days I can't. Hugs

Don't know about others, but I sleep A LOT better for the most part. I sleep like a little baby.

Hello, I'm 10 months post-op and recently found out that I need to have hernia surgery has anyone had this surgery afterwards that can offer any insight? My doctor has indicated it can be a very painful recovery. Any estimates on how long the recovery is? How much time should I take off from work? Any impact on the weight loss? I'm down 134 lbs with maybe 20 pounds left to go. Unlikely I'll hit it before my surgery, but want to be prepared if there are serious complications involved. Thanks for any info! Solange
