Yogurt is deceiving sometimes... be careful with sugars and carbs in yogurts. I only eat Dannon light and Fit yogurts or Carb Masters from Kroger. I have never had the dumping syndrome and am almost 4 months out. I like the sugar free fudgecicles too but only eat 1 a day at most. Another thing... I don't weigh at home at all. I wait to see the numbers at my Dr. visits. I have read so many that were discouraged due to increases or stalls. I won't weigh again till August. If I go through a stall, I won't even know it! LOL .............. Hang in there... each day gets easier and the journey is amazing!

I like the NECTAR clear drinks. I have strawberry kiwi, fuzzy navel and the grape. Grape is my least favorite. I mix with 10 oz water, 1/2 packet of crystal light and lots of ice. I enjoy them for 23 grams of protein each.

Many have said that Biotin increases their appetites. I don't take it for that reason. I am 2 months out and haven't lost any hair as of yet!

I was able to swallow pills right away. The blessing is I was taking 13 maintenance drugs prior to surgery and now take NONE! I take chewable multivitamins, a vitamin D supplement and a baby aspirin.

I also had to submit 5 years of documented weight loss. Just a cover page from a Dr. visit will do. I think it's pretty standard.
