Quest bars look tempting. I could order them online (one of the online shops I'm customer at sells them) and most likely will. So far I sticked to myprotein and the Vega peanut butter ones.

There is so much talk about regain (makes me quite anxious to be honest) and/or not reaching goal weight despite eating as little as 1000 cals a day. It's nice to see some maintainers my height and sex who don't exist on 1000 cals or less and are still overweight. Thanks.

Yes, looks fine now. Thank you.

Same here. I feared clots more than an insufficient anastomosis.

Can you pinpoint the difference?

I don't feel cold at all. (Ok, maybe it's not the weather for feeling cold right now, lol). I only get chills in the late evening when I'm beginning to get tired but I don't notice a difference compared to pre-op time.

I hate that kind of weather (we have that right now). The dog hates it, too, lol.

Yes, I received a prescription for 14 prefilled syringes and had to give myself a shot in the stomach once a day. Not enjoyable, but after listening to your stories, I'm quite happy I did! I have to do that, too. The hospital gave me three syringes and my GP prescribed another ten. Still giving myself injections.

Imagine the patient develops some kind of cancer or other consuming illness later in life.

Oh wow, that's not good. Keep us updated if possible.

This should be 31 kg, not 31 lbs. http://www.bariatricpal.com/user/270931-summerset/

The private setting was on purpose. IIRC changing the setting to private didn't change anything at all regarding that lbs/kg error on the profile.

I had surgery on 24/05 and I still feel that fatigue. I usually sleep a little bit during the afternoon. As for exercise. I started walking the dog again on Saturday but I can definitely notice the difference when comparing to pre-op. I also feel a little bit dizzy after walking stairs. Should be better during the next few days. I usually do yoga, bodyweight exercise and some HIT but my abdominal wall tells me to take it easy for another week or two. I also plan on starting running again (had to stop after bumping my knee cap really bad over a year ago and never came back into running so far).

Thanks for your answer but I chose the private mode on purpose. I was just wondering why the profile shows e. g. my starting weight as 130 lbs and not as 130 kg.

Somehow it's bothering me that I can eat and drink amounts that literally feel like a lot compared to what I thought would be possible. I'm a bit anxious about what eating will be like in a few weeks and months from now...

Good idea.

No, the hospital I work at doesn't offer WLS. Even if it did I would have want to have surgery at a center with lots of experience. I also wouldn't have liked that it would have spread like wildfire. The radiographers I work with are very gossipy and I want to be the one who decides which person to tell or not. They know already I had some kind of surgery in February and that I had some other kind of surgery recently as well. I bet there is a lot of rumor going on what it exactly might have been, lol. However, this is not only regarding to WLS. I wouldn't want any more serious health issues treated at the place I work at because I care about privacy a lot.

The thought of them makes me want to gag right now. I guess this is because I experienced some nausea and even vomiting one time after drinking them. I will try Protein powder stirred into cooked oatmeal soon. I always liked eating that.

Got the staples removed on Friday. The wounds look fine so far.

Hi there, just updated my weight in my profile but there is something off. It now looks like there is a weight loss of 31 kg since May which is of course not correct. I provided a different starting date (when I had my first surgery in 2001) but this doesn't seem to show?

I'm interested in this, too. I use CRON-O-Meter for tracking, but it's not that good for planning.

Thanks a lot.

Ok, thank you. Have to watch out for this.

Wow that's bad news here... did they do a CAT scan? I hope you will be alright soon.
