    doug548 got a reaction from anonbaribabe in Regrets???   
    The only regret I have is that I did not get this done sooner. I feel better than I have in a long time.

    eggs are one of the first things I started eating. I eat the whole egg not just the whites and no problem here. I now like the Just Crack an egg cups. They are a perfect size for Breakfast and they fill me up.

    doug548 got a reaction from GreenTealael in Trying not to worry...need help!!   
    My doctor told me at my first follow up appointment that if I measured my success by the scale I would be disappointed every time. My scale reads 203 pounds and has been there for a couple of weeks now but the size 36 pants that fit when I first got them not too long ago are getting real loose. So just because I can’t see it on the scale doesn’t mean stuff isn’t happening.

    doug548 got a reaction from dreamingofasleeve in Kidney stones   
    I have had them on and off sense I was in my 20’s. I have an elevated level of Calcium in both my blood and urine. I had all the tests and nothing medical going on, just one of those **** happens kind of things. I was taking something but I could not tell you what it was. After my surgery, we retested and I was almost normal.
    BTW
    When I got my list of Vitamins to take…The calcium supplement was X’ed out in red

    I have the same problem as you. My wife had the bypass and that’s what I was going to get. My kidney doctor recommended that I get the sleeve as the bypass would put me at a higher risk of stones. I am 5 months out and no signs of them. Here’s the thing though…As the weight is coming off my Calcium level is going down. Not normal and might never be but it was low enough to stop the meds for it

    For me my taste changed. Most of the stuff I used to eat I just don't want and things I did not like taste OK now.
    Oatmeal....really did not like it. Now I have a packet almost every morning.
