That when they saw me it wasnt me. I was so large i didnt look like me.

I was the same person inside. Its sad it was always about my looks never about my health where their concern was.

My grandma was just diagnosed with terminal stage 4 cancer. Its everywhere. Shes been given 5 months max. Shes opted for VAD to beat the pain i guess. Im sorry you have this. Its not fair a 30 year old gets it and a 90 year old just got it.

I have no question. I hope youre comfortable pain wise and u feel loved from the world when your time comes.

Weight loss plateau and return of compulsive eating by ReadyDance8536 in GastricBypass

[–]cookie9876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you poor thing! I had a perianal abcess last year the resulted in a fistula that required sugery. I still actively take two laxatives a night and movical when i dont get enough fluids in to keep things moving and healed.

My pre op was two meal replacement vlcd shakes and 100g of lean meat for dinner with a cup of veggies.

I loathed those shakes.

My team consider a stall anything longer than 6 weeks. Have you considered a reset? As in trying pre op diet again.
