    You gain it all back?????

    Statistically, no. Most people do not gain it all back. However, if you go back to your old way of eating then, well, of course you're going to regain.

    The key to WLS isn't losing weight. It's maintaining loss. However, your odds of maintaining a huge loss are much, much greater with WLS than without.

    I take Tae Kwon Do four days a week. It's a great mix of flexibility, strength, and cardio (last night we closed class with 50 burpees and 50 pushups). Plus, the class is all adults, half male, half female, and lots of married couples. That means it's also a great place to socialize. I've made new friends and we all keep one another accountable.

    What about Vitamin B12? My Dr ordered the nasal form and my insurance does not cover that Med which is $400/ mo in price and I cannot afford that. I have called his office with no response from them over two weeks ago :(

    He did not recommend any over the counter form of B12.... has anyone kept their levels up on the oral forms of B12?

    I buy sublingual B12 from costco.It's about $10 for 3 months. My numbers are great. Almost all surgeons recommend sublingual B12. Why don't you start there and you can switch if you ever have an issue?

    From a female perspective, I'm also really enjoying myself. My theory is that my fat surrounded the most important organ and nerves making everything less sensitive.

    My sex life had not been up to par for years, but I chalked it up to being older, having kids, and working a high-stress job. It turns out, I just wasn't getting everything I needed because of the fat. Now, holy cow, I feel good!

    Different people have different nutritional requirements. There are people who thrive on virtually no carbs, and others need carbs to function well. My NP recommends carbs before working out, but I've never heeded her advice because I don't need to.

    The best diet is one you'll follow. Find the balance of foods that make you feel great and still lose weight. Make a healthy eating plan you'll want to stick to. If you do have no-no foods, just make sure you're staying within your calories and Protein.

    I eat a perfectly normal dinner of whatever I would normally feed my family. I have 1/2 of a jimmy deans delight sandwich for Breakfast (high protein), a lean cuisine meal for lunch (15 - 20 gr protein) and a normal dinner. Last night I made beef and broccoli in the crock pot and had that with rice. Remember to take an entire 25 minutes to eat each meal and do not drink before and after and you should stay full for 5 1/2 hours.
    I second this. I eat what my family eats. I just watch my portion sizes. That having been said, I serve my family food I can eat. No Pasta and potatoes on our table. We have scrambled eggs and ham for breakfast, I eat a P3 for lunch, and dinner might be salmon with mashed cauliflower and a green salad.
