i havent lost any weight in 2 months

I take my vitamins (biotin) & provigil (med) in the morning and everything else at night. I have had wonderful results.

I was told that if you have the gastric sleeve you couldnt absorb the calcium citrate? Have you ever heard that?

I am 5 months out and finally eating normal. Hang in there it gets better.

I am doing enjoying my sleeve. However I have stopped loosing weight. I need to try much harder. Good luck to you.

I made it through the procedure and all is fine. At first I thought it didnt work. Now it seems that I am not throwing up as much as I was and holding down alot more. I have only had one acid reflux attach, since the 16th. This is a big change. :biggrin:

Well it is official, I have scheduled July 16 to go in to have a balloon put in to open up my sleeve, to help reduce the acid reflux problem I am having. I am excited and then not looking forward to either. I hope this helps.:confused1::confused1::confused1:

This sounds to familiar. I am heading to Hawaii on 7/3 for a week. I have no idea what I will eat while I am on the plane for 8 hours or while I am there. I guess I will hit the grocery store an see what they have to offer. Any advice.:tongue_smilie:

I was given an Isopure by the Dr. office it was grape and to me the texture left a gritty taste in my mouth. I couldnt drink it.:crying::crying:

This is my mixture: Muscle Milk Vanilla Creme Powder 2 scoops 3 spoon fulls of plain yogurt some kind of fruit 6 oz of milk and wala, it even keeps its consistency in the fridge changing the fruit changes the flavor.

Sure anything to help. By the way my BMI was only 35 to start with for the revision. The Dr. I used is Vadim Sherman of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Tx.

I am 2 months out and have always swallowed my pills. I take about 12 aday and have split them 6 in the morning and 6 at night. If i try 1 or 2 at a time with liquid I get to full and vomit, so i have to take all of them at the same time and a drink. I dont break any of mine. I just have to make sure I dont have a stomach full of food.:laugh0:

my dad has an allergy to surgical tape. there are alternatives that they use, just tell your dr.

I have Federal BCBS and they paid for me to have a revision a gastric bypass to a VSG. I to had a problem with vomiting, the opening was narrowed and not allowing food to go through. I think when you appeal the decision is made by a different clerk. Dont give up. They dont always consider VSG investigational, my was approved the first time.:laugh0:
