Carb to protein ratio.

A multi is not enough if you are deficient in anything.

I think you mean ibuprofen? No aspirin.or any NSAID. It is a huge ulcer risk.

Topical NSAIDs are different than pill form. Only about 5% of it gets to the stomach and pouch. That's why many surgeons will okay topical NSAIDs.

You have lots of losing time if you are following your program well. I know some people who stoppe their loss at 6 months out as that's when they stopped following the rules. Keep the junk out and you'll do fine. It will be harder and skier to lose the next half though so patience is a virtue. If you aren't exercising, it's time to start

If you are uncoordinated like me and do t care to dance with Richard, Leslie sansones walking videos are terrific. Also check your local library. they may have videos you can try out.

Wine should not be a regular occurrence. It is liquid calories and can cause ulcers.

Just make sure you are using calcium citrate and not carbonate.

Yep if your doctor botched the surgery I'd definitively get a second opinion too.

Sounds like you have mechanical failure. You are lacking a stoma. Do you have access to your medical records that might indicate whether your surgeon did not do this correctly or if you've stretched it.

You will doom yourself. Ontario has one of the quickest systems.

It's hard to feel full in liquids be side they constantly drain out. Your pouch is like a funnel that is constantly draining out. Please slow down though.

That was supposed to be : at absorbing again. Lol

There are 2 kinda of malabsorption Micronutrients - Vitamins - we will have this forever. Macronutrients -fat/calories etc - up until usually around 18 months. Eventually our bodies become good at as roving again. Here's the full explanation. http://diminishingdawnreturns.blogspot.ca/2011/03/good-explanation-of-bounceback-weight.html?m=1

I have experienced dumping syndrome maybe a handful of times of that. Most of us don't dump especially long term. As for eating and drinking, it's a bad habit sometimes. I try not to do it as I try to keep that full feeling as long as possible. Hunger is strong now so making the full feeling last is important. It is supposed to be forever to not eat and drink with an rny.

It gets much harder long term. Use your first 1-2 years and work HARD. Get the most weight off possible.

I would only take citrate. I ended up with osteopenia because I was told to take citrate

What kind of problems? Have you done whey isolate

I've heard nothing but great things about dr acevez

To lose at the best rate, I double my protein to carbs.

Carbs can cause excess gas, sugar alcohols etc Tummy noises are pretty normal.

Unflavored does not mean tasteless.
