  1. wow - thank you. so good not to be alone. Yes for whatever reason I rarely feel hungry anymore. That happened pretty much right after surgery and has never changed. I also find that when stressed food gets stuck while eating and I will throw it up. I was checked out and there is no physical reason for this so it is just stress but it discourages me from eating. Also food has a tendency to make me feel sleepy after I eat so I do not want to eat during the day as it will slow me down. My PCP has suggested weight training with minimal cardio also.So I think I will figure out how to start this. I hate food on the morning but I make sure to have at least 2 Protein shakes in the morning. I have also started drinking more Water, nutritionist's suggestion, and that seems to help with food I do eat.


  2. I tried switching to non-bariatric Vitamins after about 8 years. I thought that they would be okay nutritionally. and they are so much cheaper. For me I was wrong. If you look at the percentage difference between Bariatric Vitamins and regular vitamins you will be quite surprised, also the bariatric vitamins are made for us as gastric acid or other body fluids to be absorbed. I went back to Bariatric Advantage vitamins a month ago and my energy level is already so much better. I take chewables but they also make pill form. As for cost I have to remember I am worth it :)


  3. I am 10 years out and have trouble keeping weight on. My gall bladder was removed shortly after weight loss surgery also. I use Protein Shakes and take the Bariatric Vitamins. I rarely feel hunger and when stressed have physical difficulty eating. Doc has checked and there are no surgical reasons for this. They tell me this sometimes happens to people with the bypass surgery.As I was a stress eater prior to surgery this is so weird. Anyone else having a bit too much success with surgery?
