I tried to do the fast days 4 different times. I was successful the first day only. I think the plan is really good. I am just not ready to fast all day, yet.

Yes you can. I have also traveled with protein powder in ziplock bags measured by portion and a drink cup to add water to and make my own protein drink. I flew home three weeks after surgery.

I am 11 months out down 105 lbs. and have been weighing myself twice a day. I don't find this to be helpfyl as my weight will fluctuate during the day. I joined weight watchers for help and decided today to only weigh myself weekly at the meeting. By doing this I can focus on my behavior and not drive myself nuts about what the scale says. I also know that if I stick to the plan I will loose weight.

11 minths out and I still cant drink much milk or eat yogurt. I drink lactose free milk and have no problems with it. Never tried the pills.

The same thing happens to me if I have dairy. Yes it is called dumping. There is a syndrome called dumping sydrome. It can happen if you eat sweets or fried food.

In my opinion it is best to follow your surgeons advice on what to eat and drink and how much.

Thanks. Nope, never could gave done it without surgery. I am extremely grateful.

My weight the date of surgery. Was 305 pounds, I am down to 200. 60 more to go.

I was sleeved July 9, 2012. And down 105 lbs. I was watching TV with my 4 Year old niece and they were advertising exercise equipment. They showed a woman holding up her old huge pants and Anna said like Cynthia.

I had to crush pills for a month. I had a real hard time as some were real bitter. My surgeon had me check with the pharmacy if it was ok to crush the pills as some pills Should not be crushed.

I don't have kids and I had an extremely easy recovery, However for a few weeks I would get completely exhausted and have to stop everything and lie down. This would happen with no warning. Because of this I would not have been able to care for a child let alone lift one. Good luck, I am sure you will find a solution.

I am able to tolerate them. However I find I can only eat a very small portion and then I am full and can't eat anything else. I prefer to eat protein which is more filling and more satisfying for me.

Sounds likr a good idea Cynthia

Down 102 lbs. in 11 mos.

I make the shakes with lactose free milk. That helps with diarrhea for me.

Great idea. I'm in.

Congratulations. I have 6.5 lbs to go.

Dr Yatko Lenox Hill hospital Manhattan. He and his staff are wonderful. Let us know who you go with . Good Luck

You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

I apologize. It is presumptuous of me to tell others what to do.

I think its time this whole conversation ended. It seems to be going no where.

I have been reading about Michael Mosleys work with intermittent fasting, specifically his 5:2 plan. Eating regular meals 5 days and low calorie 2 days. Is anyone following this plan?

I was sleeved July 9 and am down 100 pounds

I have lost 85 pounds, and I can see the change, but still look very big to me. I saw someone today who looks like she weighs what I did, and that helped me see how much smaller I am than I was.

This happened to me twice. I hat eaten just before I went to bed. My dr told me not to eat or drink 2 hours before bed. Not sure if that is your situation.
