I know of several people that have before. After, here in this area, you are apparently prevented by terms of a legal agreement. Not sure it can be enforced. Slasherms has it right. I didn't have but a couple of piddly problems before, but now with dumped care, and the fact that there are a ton of questions that when I ask "ethically is this right" and they send me to lawyers, what does that tell you? Check them out before. You might get left in my state.

Avg is 100 calories a mile burned in walking/running. I've seen 80+ to 110. Avg. swimming laps is 7 calories a 50 yd trip, but all dependant on speed, your stroke, and flipturn ability (I know some really lazy people who coast for 15 yards or so from a flipturn). You dont say your mileage. I am really wondering if your liquid consumption is the issue, more so than weight. If you have it to burn, why isn't the body burning it? Mine turned into a fabulous calorie burner right after surgery. Unfortunately it got very good at doing that.

I find this interesting. I needed fluids but that was it. I did a 10K 3 weeks and 1 day out and was doing a whole lot more than others, but nowhere was I this tired as others seem to be. I had troubles eating too.

Scratching head. What about your exercise routine?

How much do you have to lose? I dropped about 30% of my excess weight the first month and didn't get that.

Whooo hooo great!!

Crystal Light, PowerAid Zero big time and decaf coffee.

Do you count veggieprotein? The other is to sprinkle powders on food.

Did you make it? Pulling for you.

Have you all gone back to the same original rules we had in the beginning?

Great job and you can do it!

Hi, I can tell you of the experiences I had with another doctor in the area. I can understand why you all talk about Dr. Terracina. I can give experiences with other doctors from friends who I know are telling the truth. I am thankful that everyone has been kind to list the items here. Yes, when they talk about being out for the business, I have 2 right off the top of my head that are into marketing the extra products. Realize that this surgery can have a 40-45% profit rating. It makes up for other areas in the hospitals. That is a very good reason why they will protect the surgeons and not us. We are expendable. The doctor makes money for the hospitals. There are less than 2000 bariatric surgeons, from what I understand.

5:2 diet? That is supposed to be the "jump starter".

Yes drinking lots of Water or the like and then doing things to get your mind off of it. Its saying YES I CAN.

Many times a bypass will fix that.

WHOOO HOOO!!!! YES!! YOU GO GIRL!!!

That's the only thing I've heard of so far - bypass.

5K. The 1 mile is really a kids mile and the only others who do it are the adults pushing strollers.

I have preached constantly my example of not knowing about your surgeon (or in my case, I got told this is who I had to take) and really knowing about it. Nothing like having a list of 'its all in your head' (amazing how only I can be told I need to be "discplined" over gastroparesis, IBS, multiple food intolerances and GERD/reflux when I did a marathon at 100 lbs overweight), told there is no global weakness after bariatric surgery (there is in the research, several studies), and a list of other items. Investigate your surgeon every way. Talk to people who are not their fans and find out why.

Congratulations!

As long as you chew it well, why is there a problem? You need healthy food too.

I can manage a cup of food at one time. Notice I have a lot of problems in doing so and it works better if I do 4-5 ounces and then wait 10 min and then do again. When I did shorter races, I could manage on that. I could nibble a homemade cookie (meaning it didn't have a lot of the garbage in there that other Cookies do) but they could still really upset the GI track from time to time.

So very happy to hear that at least some things are starting to work out for you!

2 pounds a week is 8 pounds a month. That being said you do not talk about how and what you are eating and exercising. What are you doing in terms of those? You are going to have to work hard at it now that the "honeymoon" phase is over. That being said you are still losing 8 pounds a month and that's not bad at all.

SO SO delighted to hear of another triathlete! Congrats!
