I never got dumping either and gerd is non-existent . A great tip is to put protein shake into your coffee as a creamer ! Ie caramel or vanilla - kills two birds Good luck! HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 CW 180 5’6”

I know it def slows at some point. I’m at about 2 lbs a week now. That’s healthy and I’ll take it! As long as it continues to move in the right direction! HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 182 5’6”

Woot! Officially hit a 29 BMI.... yay! I know BMI isn’t the accurate measure but it still feels pretty damn good. Hope everyone else is doing well today! HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 182 5’6”

I wasn’t taking mine either for the same reason. Got a serious tongue lashing at Dr office about brain damage if thyamin levels drop and we become vitamin deficient . She told me she doesn’t care how we take them- just take them. Pill version or whatever. She recommended that I cut the chewables up to a size that is swallowable.... which is what I’m doing HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 183 5’6”

It’s common. Most if not all of us get colder now. Put another layer on and be sure to keep taking vitamins HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 183 5’6”

I’ve been told it’s an indicator that you’re eating too fast or that you’re full . I get them too HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 183 5’6”
