Wont impact at all. In fact, MOST heavy folks who are at a weight to qualify for WLS, generally already use a CPAP. Especially guys. Or they need one and just don't know it. Snoring is the key...
Fight thru it, you will make it. Don't get depressed. Stalls always happen, but the good news is that once they break, you will see a big downtick.

My experience was very interesting. I am 7 months post-op. I prepared a plate with small portions of turkey dark meat, dressing, gravy, jellied cranberry sauce, and a brown-n-serve roll. I was...
You are looking great!

Sleeve stopped working? Perhaps you need to re-assess the situation. You did great and can do great again. Its YOU who is in control, the sleeve is just a tool.

My experience with the pre-op liquid diet - 2 weeks of nothing but Bariatric Advantage shakes - was interesting. It was disgusting, so much so that I only did 3 shakes per day (not the 5 that was...
There is a HUGE amount of variation on how the Docs and programs work. Some do 2 week pre-op diets, some do 3-4 weeks, some do NONE. I have even read a post where the Doc actually recommended that...
This is a situation that many of us face. Its more an eating of 'opportunity' than anything else. If you convince yourself that you are NOT hungry and that you DO NOT NEED to eat, you will be able...

I wonder how many burgers, ribs, pork chops, steaks, hot dogs, etc. were eaten by those gals who are complaining about the kill you included in your pics?
Hurrah for you, my brother. Best wishes...

In my world, they call that a "High Quality Problem". You are a huge success and it will continue.
Its quite likely that your body is reconciling the uber fitness regimen against the low caloric...

Hi Bruce -

I had a discussion with my NUT about this very topic, because I am from Louisiana and love Gumbo. The consumption of a liquid based meal like soup is okay with no 'special considerations'. You can...
