On Wednesday, one of my co-workers said, "wow, you lost a TON of weight!!" I said, "well, not quite a ton..." and walked away. It really upset me.

Yay!! Congrats!

Any Born Again Christians?
slowtogo replied to lovedXJesus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a pastor - and had weight loss surgery. While I don't share the how - I do share the weight loss. It made me healthy again. The question of how does faith interfere with the decision process to me is like asking a cancer patient if they are gonna do chemo if they are a christian. What does that have to do with it? -

3-5 lbs per week is normal. -
Not Even a Bite of Wedding Cake?
slowtogo replied to BeccaE1's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Depends on how it affects you. A bite won't hurt you even if you dump most of the time. But it's almost a year away. -

WLS and Divertculitis
slowtogo replied to tracy6914's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I did. Haven't had a flare in the two years since post surgery. -
For me its sandwiches. I am over two years out. Gluten free- but it can only eat about 1/2 of one. More and I'm in trouble. Nothing else bothers me.

Gluten Intolerant and Sleeve, Anyone have and advice?
slowtogo replied to Mini Me Wanna~Be's topic in Food and Nutrition
I don't think this is quite right. Corn does not affect gluten intolerant people. It is still often genetically modified, But that is a different problem. I am gluten intolerant and corn has never bothered me or my gluten intolerant friends. -
Give your opinion to tell or not

Tips from success stories
slowtogo replied to chefkelly's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Sounds like what they did in Detroit. -
You might want to try sugar free syrup - tastes similar and will minimize your possibility of dumping
-
The stalls are normal you just have to stay with the plan. After the first few months the weight loss really slows. I am almost two years out. I now weigh 149. The last year I have only lost 11 lbs. But that's ok. It's still going down.

All that I have found- charge.

Pupi- You've got to understand. That's considered an extremely low calorie diet and it serves multiple purposes. Mainly - it reduces the size of your liver for surgery. It also gets allot of the solids out of your intestines and starts to reduce your cravings prior to surgery, making it a bit easier post surgery. Have faith. You will get through this.

Gluten Intolerant and Sleeve, Anyone have and advice?
slowtogo replied to Mini Me Wanna~Be's topic in Food and Nutrition
I am gluten free. I have problems with inflammation and the doc thought it might help. It does. Think Adkins diet with all the veggies you can eat. I feel great. Lots of energy. I second the comment on gluten free biscuick but we shouldn't eat those products any way. -
