I took Topamax for weight loss and it gave me severe stomach cramps. I had to go to the emergency room it got so bad. I was told it couldn't have been Topamax that caused it. They gave me anti-cramping meds and I didn't feel right for weeks. I stopped the Topamax for a few weeks. I started them back again and the day after the cramps came again. Stopped the meds and started one more time a few weeks later...cramps again. Clearly it was the Topamax! That stuff was the devil for me. I have two other friends that took it and lost lots of weight only to get kidney stones... Clarification...I had taken all this BEFORE I had surgery...

I had Dr. Tanner. I was very pleased. The scope isn't too bad. No worries. What doctor are you going with?

I LOVE buying clothes now! I used to hate it, get depressed and be miserable. I'm trying so hard to wait on buying a lot since I still have more to lose. Down 50 pounds now!!! wahoo!

Find a different doctor. I have lost 50 pounds since June 3rd and I only needed to lose 100 as well. I had gastric bypass and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. My only regret is not doing it sooner!

Found it! WAHOO! I had to go to my desktop to find it though.

Yes! I had my surgery on June 3rd! I am down 40.8 pounds and feel fantastic! How about you?

How do you get a ticker?

Same thing happened to me when I was jumping through hoops for my lap-band. The "ladies" at the support group meeting that I was required to attend decided to tell me that they didn't think I needed surgery, since I was "so small." Yeah, no. I had a BMI of 39-40 at the time. EXACTLY! My BMI was 40. My surgeon didn't argue the case so why would they?

My last meal was at 5:30 and I didn't eat anything after that. That's what I thought was kinda weird. I wasn't feeling weird or anything either. Maybe it was just a random thing. It hasn't happened again but I will call the doc if it does.

Hello! My gastric bypass was exactly 2 months ago on June 3rd. I have been doing well, sticking to my diet and taking my vitamins. Last night (morning) about 2am I woke up feeling like I was seconds away from throwing up. This has never happened to me before so I was curious if anyone else has had this happen. I have almost thrown up twice due to eating too fast but have managed to keep everything down so far. I ate dinner around 5:30ish with nothing after that so why 2am would this happen?

I can't wait until my wedding is too big! Something to look forward to!

Measure, measure, measure. You really need to stick to about 1/4 cup right now. I am almost 8 weeks out and still only eat 1/4 cup of yogurt every morning.

How are all you June peeps doing?? I am doing well. Down 30 pounds since my surgery June 3rd. I'm taking my vitamins and feel really good. Hope to hear from everyone!!

Wow! You look amazing!

I put the unflavored in a 32 ounce of crystal light. Crystal Light helps get my water down and the protein to boost!
