Food Before and After Photos
While the bread does contain 9 grams of total carbohydrates, the fine print on the package states that 9 grams of total carbs minus 9 grams of dietary fiber equals 0 grams of net carbs. Fiber is a type of carb that the body does not absorb, so when all or most of the carbs in this bread are from fiber, they should simply pass through the body.

60 years young and having surgery
I had my VSG surgery @62 in November 2018. No problems, no pain, recovered fast. Now @64 nobody believes me I'm THAT old because I'm full of energy, eat healthy and go to gym regularly.

Weight gain.....
There was an OOTD For Men thread where a handsome man with a great outfit posted his picture and this “new and improved” completely fat shamed him. It was disgusting and I don’t see how he’s still a member here. If I can find the thread... It was posted in The Guy's Room.

Some people never learn. You should block YOURSELF from all of us with your repetitive stories. Get a girlfriend, live a life now that you're so successful.

A POSITIVE GLOWING STORY of success
ALERT: his new name is New&Improved. He changed his name every time we acknowledged his arrogance. From Mikeyy to Mike666, to Superman84, to MIKEYY84.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES
He changed his name every time we acknowledged his arrogance. From Mikeyy to Mike666, to Superman84, to MIKEYY84. I bet he is going to change it to DICK84 and come back to glorify his inflated ego.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES

Bariatric Vitamins vs. Multivitamin vs. Prenatal
I use ProCare Health bariatric multivitamins. It contains everything necessary as per ASMBS except calcium. So i use Celebrate calcium citrate chews or Citracal petites. ProCare is available from Bariatricpal, but i buy from Amazon with free shipping.

DON'T DO IT
Very dramatic story, very detailed, NICE TRY to dupe people. So many details piled up together (grenade-looking drain, colostomy bag, stomach stent, many bags taken out of the taxi on return from hospital - like returning from Caribbean vacation etc etc). BTW there is NO Dr.Kantner as bariatric specialist anywhere in Virginia...hehe...and another 20 or so discrepancies i found in this story.

Patch MD
I used multivitamins patches for 3 weeks after surgery because i was afraid to swallow large pills. After 3wks i started taking regular pills. My labs were OK. My surgeon said it's ok to use patches short time.
