Hi,I'm 65. Had the sleeve done 12/19 this yr. I had stomach problems all the way through. I discovered my stomach flora is too acidic since my surgery and I'm doing everything I can for it at present. I'm on a probiotic and I just read the book, "60 Seconds to Slim". It tells you all the things you need to eat to reduce acid, lose weight and the proper nutrition necessary for weight loss. These days I'm feeling better and losing weight is now easy. I've lost 70 lbs. so far, only have to lose another 150 lbs. As you see, this is a life altering process. The good side is that I have been writing to an old flame of 50 years ago and he wants to go out with me, and he's seen my picture too. How do you like that?

Nothing is stopping you from changing Drs. Your paperwork should be transferable.

I used the Bariatric powder we were forced to buy from my doctors link. I'm sure you can get a very good powder from the GNC store. I drank their Liquid Protein for over a month. It had a high Protein content and only 4 sugars, and tasted very good, but I now am back on the powder rec. by my doctor. Ask the clerk for a high protein value in your powder. 60-80% of your daily intake should be of protein or you will start losing your hair. You can put your chewable Calcium in the blender too.

NO, it causes gas, bloating, farts, stomach aches, and is bad on a new operation. Anything else you need to know about fizz?

Hi There! You are the first one I've found to truly understand what this is really about. It is an emotional and psychological battle with ourselves. Everytime I read another message how they are having 'cravings', I can't help wondering what they expected. We are the same, hunger, cravings, and the whole ball of wax. The only difference is that we were given a second chance to work with our particular disability, to try and manage it, to win this dreaded battle of over-eating and obesity. We still need to remain vigilant, concerned and alert at every moment less we give in again to our 'cravings'. This is war people, we have only been given the weapons to fight this, there are no written guarantees we will succeed. It is up to YOU and your true fight to overcome this dreaded disease, obesity. Are you all up to the challenge?

Hi, Welcome, good luck to you. It's nice having a nurse on board. Maybe you can answer some of the questions these people have, concerns they are facing. I learned something from you already I'm going to check on. I had surgery 3 months ago and had too many obstacles and ultimately, my diet is suffering. I need a new doctor and definitely , a new program that will aide me in this long journey. If I could just get down 13 lbs. I feel I wouldn't be viewed so harshly, but do you think I could do just that? I guess that's too much to ask. I really need exercise, but I can't get motivated. I hope this is not all there is! I believe my doctor held out on me and as a result, we've parted ways. I ntruly need a concerned benefactor to help me through this or I will be lost.

I had to respond to your courage and fortitude to put it out there. You are very brave. I often felt through out my life that if I went to a 12 step program, maybe I would finally find the courage you have displayed here. I can't imagpne you failing at weight loss since you have conquered other, more dangerous obstacles in your life. Bravo! Show us all the way to go. You go girl.

Hi' I'm 3 months out and still struggling every single day and not winning yet. I've only last 27 lbs so far and just can't stay moitivated long enough to take the next big step. I want to lose 13 lbs so baddly. I just can't kick it in gear.

I have some advice that might comfort you. If the hospital thought you were at risk for blood clots, and they would know from your blood work, they would not put you at risk, they would put you on cumadin, a blood thinner. Have they done that? If not, stop worrying. You have so much other stuff you can wrap your head around. Go to the internet and see what you can take to make you feel at ease, there are Vitamins for just such things as this. Relax, enjoy what is yours today.

I have read all your silicitous comments and I have decided that going back to basics is what I need. It's going to be hard to not eat again but that is what it's going to take. I started this morning. All liquids and pureed meals and I have to report, it's working so far. My stomach hasn't acted up at all yet. I thank you all for your support. I really needed that. Maybe now I can finally start losing again.
