Before my RNY I went many times a day. I had the back door trots after I ate every meal. Now I tend to be the other way!! But..I have a new friend that stays with me all the time..MIRALAX!! My new best friend!! It is pretty gentle and it doesn't hit you like a ton of bricks. I guess it isn't a laxitive, it pull fluids from your body. This is what I have learned. GREAT STUFF!!

I use GENEPRO and have been using it for awhile (like 3 years or so) I have no problems with my Protein levels and as you see I am almost 5 years out. If I didn't use my protein stuff I would never reach my 65 or so protein level. My blood work has all been great. For myself it works and I will continue using it. Love my GENEPRO Latte every day. I guess everyone has to do what ever it takes as long as they meet their quota of protein levels. Good Luck and there is quite the conversations on this product. It is a WIN WIN for me.

My drink of choice before....notice I said before my RNY was COORS LIGHT BEER!! Oh course I can't or won't have it now because of the carbonation. But...with that being said I am 3 years out and I just had some strawberry WINE in Sept. Now I don't drink much at all. It is very true that it hits you fast and seems to leave pretty darn fast also. I am very guarded about drinking to much because I have always had a addictive personality and with most things in my life I hbave been BALLS O THE WALL or NOTHING!!! I realize how I am so I choose not to drink often. That is just me. I would hate to trade one addiction for another. Now I am a clothes fiend now. I love to shop for stuff and if I can buy it on line the better!! LOL

I'm really not sure about the "stretching the pouch" I have heard so many tales of it. I have heard from a DR online, (wish I could remember his name) he said stretching your pouch etc is a myth. Also he said it wouldn'tbe your pouch any how...it is the opening from your pouch not the pouch itself. I have eat to much and it hurts like heck. I still have plenty of restriction. But I can eat more than before. I weigh between 125 to 130. Pretty good. I am very happy with my WL. You are defintly right about the over doing part. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Defintly keep an eye on it. In fact I would at least let my team know what is going on. You want to keep them in the know. Be sure to keep up on your fluids. Congrats on having your WLS!!

YAY!!! Hold on you are starting on a AWESOME Journey. Good Luck and I look forward to following your WL Journey. Again YAY IIPPY SKIPPY

I use Celebrate Capsule Vitamins. I have used them since after my chewables. I didn't like my CENTRIUM chewables they were way to sweet. You can buy them on-line. I buy them on Amazon. I haven't had any bllodwork come back bad. I was told by my Dr that if they were to large to swollow that could open them up and eat them with applesauce or yogurt.

Actually my kids are both grown but...my grandkids all think I'm so skinny. My 12 YO granddaughter said she loves wearing my boots because her feet are the same size as mine. She loves all the clothes I have gave her. When she comes to spend the night (which is very often) she puts her lounger (one I gave her) on and says I'm like my NANA!! One day she was watching me put on my face moisterizer and ask what I was doing...I told her it was to make me be beautiful I ask her is it working? She replied OH YES NANA!! You are BEAUTIFUL!! My grandson ( 10YO) hugs me and says OH NANA!! You are so litte!! I can reach around you when I hug you. I told my hubby that I have heard that MODELING after me is the ULTIMATE FLATTERY!! Out of the mouth of Babes for sure.

I am not making a plug for Bariatric Vitamins but here goes. For me I thought about what I had just went thru and knowing that I am in this forever. I felt like I should at least buy the Bariatric vitamins. I tried the Flintstones and they were horrible, I tried the chewable Centrum vitamins but man they are so nasty I ouldn't handle them. I have taken Celebrate Capsule for the whole time after trying the ones that made me sick. Another thing about me is I started taking chewable Vitamin C, they tasted so good kind of like a sour candy which I love beyond love anything sweet and tangy. Not good for me when I was woofing them down like candy. lol I buy CELEBRATE at Amazon. I like the fact that they are capsule and if need be you could open them and put them in applesauce or something while you are early out. Just my take on vitamins.

WOW!! Alex Brecher, I did not know that you had the Lap Band. My hubby had his for 13 years before it malfunctioned. He so wanted to have the RNY. But there was to much scar tissue and it had eroded into his liver. So after it was all said he finally got the Sleeve done in Mexico. BTW we sure wished he would have gone with your DR's. But he thought the old addage phrase worked better by spending the extra $$ he would get better care. NOT!!! I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems also. Have a great day!!

sugar free popsicles. Try to get some Better than Bouillon. It comes in chicken or Beef. Much better tasting than the others. Hot Tea with a sweetner. Sugar Free hot chocolate. They also have things thru BariatricPal Store has things with Protein added. With your low blood sugars I can't tell you. I was Type 2 Diabetic but the Protein Drinks I had for my preop didn't let me get to low. Right after my RNY I did 4 weeks of protein drinks and right away stopped my insulin. You do know that even after your surgery, it can rise its ugly head again. My Dr was going to put me on pills again and I told her, give me a month and it will be back down. As soon as I started my exercise it went down again. So it is like it is in remission. I know for myself I have to balance myself with exercise. Good Luck be strong now it is getting closer everyday!!

I LOVE this guy!!! He has helped so many people, giving great advise and being so loving with everything he does!! Much better at motivation than many I have read and tried. His DEAL A MEAL was simple and it worked. But...like most who have WLS they have been on many diets and lost many pounds to only regain most of what they have lost plus more!! What a great guy!!

Well she might be a toothpick but she lacks kindness in her heart. There for she be UGLY inside!! She is NOT perfect that is why she has to be so mean. Makes her feel better about herself!! I'm sorry I just HATE BULLY'S!!!

I didn't really have my LAST SUPPER due to being afraid that I would do something wrong and they would cancel my WLS. I figured that most of my adult life I was a real PARTY GIRL. But each of us have our own ways of getting thru this. Just take it as YOUR job to follow the guidelines and you will do fine. Good Luck

That darn LAP BAND worked it unMAGIC on so many!!! My hubby had his 13 years and lost around 100#'s he still had lots more to lose. Finally it malfunctioned and was removed Sept 2013. Almost killed him for sure. He had the SLEEVE on June 6th 2016. He has lost a total of 300#'s total. With the Sleeve he doen't always stick to his program and does a lot of ups and downs. Good Luck on your journey. I look forward to following your Weight Loss. Again Welcome
