Not loosing weight and feeling helpless
Are you getting in 64 ounces of fluid , like 8 8ounce glasses or 4. 16 ounce water bottles? Are you getting protein thats sufficent, Maybe 60 grams or a little more. Are your calories 600 to 800 daily? That's pretty a much smaller amount than an average daily diet. But,we are recovering from major surgeries, mine was almost,a month before yours and I'm still in the process. Matter of fact, I am losing weight like gang-busters, like 30-some pounds. I have been having problems with my new stomach,pouch. And I am basically living on broths, strained soups, protein shakes, vitamins minerals ulcer medicine and Zofran for my nausea. And I'm telling you just because that is the way it is. Yeah I did go into this to lose lots of weight, but it is scary to do it that way. And I will hear,from Dietary/Nutrition at my Bariatric Hospital in the morning, because I am overdue for a new stage of diet but I can't progress for 2 more weeks per my surgeon. Orignal plan was to have me back to small portions of regular food by Thanksgiving and I don't,think it will happen. Surgeon has stretched my pouch opening twice, next time to try,again November 9th and I will be 9 and half weeks then! So you see I have a problem also. I'm not getting enough nutrition to do working out quite yet.

Question - Does anyone have issues w/ condiments?
Well ketchup does have sugar in it, not quite certain of the%, been years I made my own. Had a primary care tell me not to use it for that reason,said mustard would be better on sandwiches and such. Just like commercial salad dressings contain hidden sugars, better also to make EVOO and lemon juice or a vinegar for on your salads. Hope everything is better for you now Twism44 and maybe it will never repeat itself.

Stretta or Linx
Anybody else want to know about Linx? We had a surgeon that was first in this area to do it. A magnet-containing strip is placed around the lower part of your esophagus, and yes, it does keep reflux from coming up and putting you at risk for Barretts Esophagus. That is the good part. The bad part; that strong row of magnents also keeps you from vomiting. If you accidently or by plan ingest too many pills or poison, you basically signed your own death warrant. Unless an endoscopy can through, and I'm not sure they can, to pump you out. It scares the bee-jeebers out of me!
