    Bad acid and gas

    I have really bad acid reflux and have to take 1 Prilosec everyday to control it. My doctor approved me for 1 over the counter Prilosec a day with a good probiotic. Antacids disrupt the Ph in your gut, causing your body to eliminate a lot of the good bacteria. So in order to avoid that you have to pair up. Hope that helps.
  2. So guess who now fits into a size 38 pair of jeans now for the FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE? Yup, this guy. I've never been less than a size 40. Increadible.

    Intimacy with partner

    Well, it was about 2 weeks for me. Maybe 3. But I was taking matters into my own hands before that. lol
  4. Finally broke the 270's! Man that stall lasted a while and I do not know how I did it since yesterday. Being snowed in only afforded me to eat junk and processed garbage but I still managed to lose 2 pounds last night. My body is so weird sometimes.

  5. These Quest Bars can be expensive! But I found a decent way to save some money this month. Get your coupon emailed to you from here: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/gnc.com#print.5451325 You can get a 'Spend $20 and get $10 off' coupon emailed to you. GNC is also running a special right now for Buy 2 Quest Bars and Get 1 Free. I got 12 Quest Bars for like $17.50. I'm going to go back in a week and get another 12. Enjoy

    Any smokers

    I quit smoking cigarettes a year ago and I stopped smoking the other stuff 2 weeks before surgery and resumed 2-3 weeks afterwards.
  7. I went to a GNC in the mall (not sure if there is any difference between mall and anywhere else) and he just typed in the coupon code and boom it worked just fine. Runs through the 14th of February.

    Gastric Sleeve or Bypass

    I think if you have 150 pounds or less to lose you should consider the sleeve. Anything more than 150 pounds (and/or diabetes or a severe sugar addiction) you should consider bypass. Those are the guidelines my surgeon set for us in the initial consultation and I tend to think that was as well.

    Fullness guilt

    I would seek out a therapist for a problem like this.

    Able to eat larger amounts. Help?

    Eat less, move more. I know it's not the most graceful answer but there is no need to be terrified once you lost 120 pounds. If you start to creep up then clean up your diet (less preservatives, chemicals, processed foods), eat for nutrition and set realistic fitness goals for yourself. You've had a wonderful opportunity to hit the reset button. 120 pounds is amazing. How much more weight do you have to lose?

    Co-workers

    I just choose to tell them so when I eat a little bit I don't get the weird questions or stares. And if I do get the questions I just answer honestly. I find that it takes far more energy to conceal the surgery than just admitting to it. This happened when I was with a friend eating as well. He thought I didn't like the food because I only ate a few bites.

    OK....how did you know.....

    I eat rice all the time with no issues. To the original poster, everyone is different.. Yes we all have a common thread but you will, through trial and error figure out what works for you.

    Damage to Sleeve

    There is one thing I notice with having the sleeve. I no longer have that "just full and satisfied feeling" like I had with a regular stomach. It's like.. eating, eating, FULL.
  14. I love your pics! Great job.

    Anyone want to show pics :)

    Started at 360 and right now I am 270(ish). My goal is 230. So I am almost there.
  16. It took about 50 pounds for me. Anything less than that was like tossing a deck chair off the Titanic.

    Body Odor

    I didn't have body odor but breath was horrible for a couple of months. Even though I kept up my regular 6 month cleaning regimine and brushed multiple times a day. It was my body adjusting to ketosis (I think).

    How often do you weigh?

    A couple times a week but at first it was every day.
  21. Have you considered perhaps starting a wellness blog?
