I have just recently found the Special K Protein Plus cereal and LOVE it!! I was getting so sick of eating eggs from breakfast and needed a break so I bought the cereal! To me it tastes like Raisin bran without the sugary raisins!! I eat either the serviing of 3/4 cup or a full cup depending on how much time I have that morning! LOL I haven't been eating cereal up until now and I'm 10 months post-op but I NEEDED a change!

Are you IN love with him? Yes, see a counselor and see if that will help, NO, LEAVE!

I used to use one years ago at a gym and LOVED IT!! My husband and I were just talking about them and thinking about seeing about purchasing one for the basement!

Are you tracking your food? I was going up and down with the same few lbs for a bit (just over 9 months post also) so I started tracking again and making sure I got all my protein and water and I'm down a few lbs now!!

I have actually been expereinceing this myself lately and I'm 9 months post-op. I just had labs pulled the other day so we'll see if it's anything there but my doc sure didn't seem to worried about it but it concerns me. I haven't actually passed out though and with that I would make sure you talk to the doc again! Good Luck!

Been awhile since I've updated! Shoot, been awhile since I was on this board at all! I tend to spend so much time at work and for some reason VST runs SUPER SLOW on my work computer So anyways, I weighed in this morning and I'm down to 157.2!! WOOHOO Over just 6lbs till Goal!! OMG I can't believe I am this close! A week and a half until my 10 month mark and I've lost 93.6lbs! I really can't believe it! Had our neighbors over for a BBQ last night and we got to talking and it came up about my surgery which I'm totally cool with sharing and the wife was Totally into hearing all about it. Her and her husband are "large" people and have A LOT of health issues. I was very happy to share my story/journey with them! Sat and looked at photos because they have only known me now! They were both speechless! LOL The husband was talking to me about how he doesn't picture himself a 300lb+ man until he sees himself in a picture and then he's like WTF! I remember that so well from before surgery. I totally didn't think that I was as big as I was! I swore I was comfortable even though I knew I had "put on a Little weight"! LOL But what is even craizier then that is I still feel this way but opposite! I feel Bigger then I am! LOL When I sit here I feel bigger and then I see a picture of myself and I'm like OMG Is that Me?? WOW!! LOL It's just all crazy head games I guess! So here I am, near my goal weight and feeling FAN FREAKING TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am running my 6th 5K this weekend (even though I have totally NOT been working out/training for it), I am wearing a size 10 pants kind of! LOL An 8 is still too small but a 10 is too big, I hate being inbetween sizes! LOL I'm in a Medium shirt/dress and LOVING that!!!

WOOHOO!! Congrats!!!

I'm 9 months post-op and I have been off of it for about a month now! I haven't had any real acid issues which is AMAZING because I've been on a PPI for like 15 years now! I have noticed that it's not really the same hunger but that I do feel more "hunger" now then I did before (first few months of surgery) and I don't know if that plays into it or not!

BEAUTIFUL!!! You look so totally FAN FREAKING TASTIC!!!!!!

Once you are on more solid food you will feel more restriction, give it time and just eat/drink the recommend amount!
