  1. Have lost 20 lbs 5'6 199. But I am getting hungry I am drinking and eating cream soup, they just told me to drink more protein shakes. My surgery was supposed to take only 1.5 hours but it took 5.5 and they had to call in another dr to help.i had surgery at 218 lbs? Due to hyadal hernia and prostate surgery, my insides were all messed up. Thank goodness no problems yet.
  2. Hate to drink the water because I know the cramps I'm getting are coming from that?
  3. Well it finally came time , I had gotten my weight down to 215lbs. I figured it would make my surgery easier . They had scheduled 1.5 hours including fixing my hyiadal hernia. Well the hernia was bigger then expected plus they had problems moving the liver due to the fat stuck to it. They had to call in a second Dr and 5 hrs later it was done. Today is the 26th I am drinking the half full medicine cups of water. But the bloating is killing me. I feel good when I wake up but then once I start drinking I fill up with air again. Any suggestions ?
  4. You say 4 years later walmart is ok? Is that because you are 4 years out or did you just realize it now? My wife says Eco drink has a lot of the vitamins I need . I gag on pills and the calcium look so big you must have them forever .
  5. I'm having gastric bypass in 3 months . I'm worried about all the vitamins I have to take. I don't take pills well. I have a bad gag reflex any hints.
  6. Am starting the procedure, I need to lose 95 lbs. I have diabetes , fatty liver, ibs , Barrett's syndrome , and arthritis in my knees, bursitis in my hip, feet problems. Plus 3?young grand daughters. I'm 53 years old. I've lost up to 50 lbs at a time before, but I always gain it back, so this is what I have to do, I hope this is the right decision.
