In prep for my 1 year follow up the surgeon sent me for lab work and my B6 came back way way to high. So they asked me to stop taking B6. so now i am looking for a way to cover the B vitamins without B6. I was taking a sublingual multi B liquid.
-
did a search both on this site and google and found a lot of hits on just that issue - high B6 when taking multi B supplement. Including 1 NIH study that found 17/68 sleeve patients in the study had elevated B6.
going to stop the liquid multi B and just use the chewable Centrum Silver for a few months then retest

Some questions regarding GERD...
allwet replied to AchieveGoals's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
In one study i read recently that compared sleeve to bypass there were 11 people with post op (sleeve) issues and 9 of 11 were gerd issues. this is the number 1 issue for sleeve as this procedure seems to make it worse. most people with serious gerd issues get moved to bypass by there surgeons because that procedure shows no increased gerd issues like the sleeve does -
there was a recent (month or 2) recall i got a letter due to my purchases being on record with costco. check the premier protein web site for lot numbers and see about taking the package back

so for 2nd time since WLS i have managed to hurt myself. Pulled the tricep muscle right at the top of the elbow and now even the dam coffee cup hurts.
Doc has me out of gym for 10 days and then back slowly if i dont want to screw it up again.

I definitely get that. I'm curious, what is the civilian equivalent to the guy that loads torpedos? Yes, my brothers were all fortunate to have salable talents when they got out. The two older ones have solid careers with major companies. The youngest, unfortunately, keeps getting side-tracked by drugs and alcohol. His employers (there have been many) seem to have a problem with employees getting drunk at lunch. Who knew?

It really does come down to just this. Processed food is killing us. All the Macro's just play at the edge but the real Issue here is the level of processing all the food we eat has gone thru.

From 3XL to XL in 4 months
allwet replied to Danbug74's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
grats on your NSV -
i have said before and will say again. post op is mostly mental if i could change anything i would move all that bullshit you do for 6 plus months before surgery and change it out for 6 plus months of therapy post op. food is SO much more than just nutrients and energy. It is a part of our view of ourselves for better and for worse.

Month By Month Weight Loss
allwet replied to Love2Travel816's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was lucky i had a great first month 30 something pounds. followed by 8-10 pounds every month for the next 9 months after that. June looks to to be my big slow down. i have been expecting it for the last few months. My body seems to have found a sweet spot and i think the last 20 pounds i want to lose are going to be a slow slog but i have hit every goal to this point and i haven't felt this good in more than a decade so at this point i just don't care if i need the next 6 months to get that last 20 off -
Frustrated-husband sleeved too but losing more with less healthy food
allwet replied to HappyRN's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
weight gain and loss is driven by hormones and men and women have a very different mix going on inside. This will have an effect on the pace of weight loss. Nothing fair about it but you can't change biology. If he keeps those bad habits it will bite his ass down the road with weight regain. -
Are you happy with your sleeve

so very happy. at 10 months post op all the downside is way behind me and only the good parts are left to enjoy -
Something weird started happening ....
allwet replied to Mattymatt's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I think the fake sugar thing is more of a sweetness issue. You dont do sweet now and things that are sweet are REAL sweet to you and that is not as pleasant to you as it was before. Your taste buds are more sensitive to sweet now that you are not eating it as a normal daily thing. I never could stand the aftertaste of any fake sugar before and its no better now. -
What was your first food after the liquid stage?

What was your first food after the liquid stage?
allwet replied to QueenEB's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
mine was scrambled egg with a teaspoon of salsa. i ate a lot of this to start. good thing i love it. -
been there done that but better now than post op. lots of us here test positive for this and have to take the meds before moving on to the surgery. With your new very small sleeve you do not want any issues making things more complicated.

second time this week i have seen mention of the grp of people that can eat carbs with ease. can't find the link to that Business Insider article that talked about the test for carb processing but this mentions that ability in the start of this video.
-
yea the whole genetics link to this is real interesting. I have come to think it was ketosis that had me so hyper at the start of this. I went from liquid to soft foods then on to lean meats but i was basicly carb free for 2 plus months and was deep into ketosis without knowing it. doubt i have been there much since but it was a weird time for me and and interesting effect.

Bump just bumping this important thread back up. dont want to lose it to other pages. we just end up with half dozen new threads starting instead of keeping it all in one place

this is different for everyone. Head hunger is real even if just in the head. Habit plays a real role here you are simply used to eating and your body and mind don't understand why you stopped. this does get better as the days go by you get used to a new pattern and the head hunger will decrease. once you move to more semi solid food it will help the mind with the why are not eating thing. all i can suggest is avoid being reminded about food- less tv more movies - try to keep mind occupied distract yourself as much as possible

peace of mind if you can find it on sale anywhere. The ladies seem to have a list of must haves - like chapstick and a robe and extra clothes but for me if didn't want to see my butt checks close you eyes grats and good luck hope you have a great recovery

if its sold in the middle of the store you will be hard pressed to find something without added sugar. There is a whole industry devoted to finding the exact amount of added sugar to make something taste amazing without you thinking sugar.

Depression and Self-Doubt
allwet replied to Danny S.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
if you have the control - big if - there is no food you can not enjoy next year but its the frequency and portion you need to worry about not if you will ever eat it again. seek some help with emotional eating and try to build habits now that will carry you later when its easier to go off the rails. -
very interesting. guess i'll have to try but really no matter what that test says life exp has taught me i can't do carbs safely. i just can't keep control of my eating with them included.
