I need help, I am at my 2 years mark and I have lost 77 lbs. I want to lost another 10 but it has stopped. I was at 181 now I am at 185 very disappointing. I am getting depressed over it also my skin uggg I am 62 and the skin is a lot esp. on arms and inner thighs. I bought the book 5 day pouch test, I did find myself eating JUNK food (goes down easy) going to try this book and hope to get back on track of losing because I feel my clothing is tighter. Anyone else here going through this? E

I also feel the restriction when I eat Proteins, so thats a good thing but my control on the slider foods is real bad I need to really work on that I really want to go down 10 more lbs going to work on that now that its not so easy. TY

Sharon has it been 2 years for you also? Thanks for your words I think I am over thinking to were my clothes even feel tight. I really need to STOP EATING JUNK.

Quest bars by far the best!!

Thank you!! it was like getting a free box....

I had the same problems for a few years, they discovered I had a hiatal hernia during surgery and he repaired it too when he did my sleeve!! I still have acid reflux but not as bad, he has me on omeprazole 40mg one a day and that helps even after the repair. I would mention your symptoms to your surgeon but I don't think he will cancel your surgery not unless he see you have a problem that's why its good to let him know. The most mine did when I told him of my acid problem suggested I do a by pass....aaaaa NO. LOL I did the sleeve. Good luck with your surgery best decision I ever made acid and all!!

I am 6 months on Nov 6th and it has finally slowed down a lot. I'd say for the last month and a half it was falling out in bunches. I did all the things and bought everything ppl recommended before and during. It still fell out.

I still cant eat and drink, my NUT always said wait 20 mins before drinking. I find it works for me other wise I throw up, filling up with the liquid too much after eating. I drink with straws but only for drinking with no food before or after.

WOW you look GREAT!!!!!!

I did the before thing also, still didn't help at 4 months. I lost and am still losing. I am hoping so they say at 6 months it stops and it will grow back, hope hope!!! After 6 months I am off to the dermatologist if I am still losing badly. Aveda Thickening shampoo and conditioner and serum is also very good. I have noticed it isn't falling out that much. Before I tried the organix with Biotin...eh not so good, I still lost my hair at 4 months.

The multi Natures Bounty is hair nails and skin, that has the biotin

I have the same problem, I have lost a lot of hair. My bangs are see threw now LOL. I am taking biotin that's in my multi called Natures Bounty you can get it at Costco. Also bought Aveda thickening shampoo and conditioner they also have a serum you can put on your scalp works real good. I am real close to going to a dermatologist, but they say it will stop and grow back so I am hoping.

These are questions for your Doctor!! I would call and make an appointment.

Yes I had a hiatal hernia repaired also, I still have the burn but the 40mg of omeprezole works real good for me. I notice its what I eat also that triggers it sometimes. I also have that pain when i eat anything, I just think that my pouch is small and I eat too fast.

This is so true!! the sleeve is a tool.. Your doing great keep it up!! E

Yes...I had it before WLS and I have it now. They have me on omephrazole 40mg once a day this helps so much!! Did they put you on any medicine for it? I hear you, I get it just drinking water. The acid comes up to my chest on one side and burns like I just hit it with lemon juice...ugggg

I had soft boiled eggs, hard boiled was way too hard on my pouch. I was in the soft food stage when I tried it.

Hi, I am so tired of the costco and unjury Proteins, was wondering if anyone has tried this and if its ok to do instead. Its a fruit punch so I would mix with cold Water. It was very expensive so I don't want to use it and then find out i shouldn't have. Seems like it gives muscle strength? I have an email into my NUT but she hasn't answered yet. I attached a pic any input would be appreciated. TY

I kept the big bottle, I really like this item Fruit Punch mix with water. So tired of the milk ones. I asked my NUT and she said it was fine take but only do one scoop a day not 3 280 calories was to high for a drink so she said.

Thank you

Would anyone know if the AMP whey bolic amplified extreme is a good sours of Protein? So tired of the costco and unjury and milk. I posted a pic. Not sure how to post a pic on this thread but i put a thread up in the forum with the pic..Thanks for any help

That happened to me when I ate too fast and too much.

I felt that way for a month. It does get better and you will definitely have a lot more energy.

You look Fantastic!! Great news...

Try this maybe it will get you pouch going again. . http://www.livingafterwls.com/index.html They have a 5 day pouch test, maybe this will jump start you again!! Good Luck...E
