It has been awhile since I posted. Just had my 6 month check up. Down to 224 started at 347 when I began the process. Feeling great, so much energy, off of bp meds.

My appetite is very strange though. Some days I feel like eating often and some days I have to make myself eat. Anyone else feel this way?

Great!. I am at 6 months now and down about 50 pounds. I have not lost anything since Christmas though, eating bad. So my insurance won't cover the 6 month post op follow up so I canceled the visit. Did you do anything for the check up or did they just ask how you feel and bill the insurance company like 200 bucks for a five minute visit?

Also no, I am pretty much hungry all the time, and never not wanting to eat, and I think I am choosing junk foods that I would hope will give the sh !its since I am often backed up more than pre op. Prolly eating 3000 plus calories a day so no wonder the wieght loss has stalled.

They did a bunch of blood work. Made sure to check my height. I guess we can shrink due to surgery :/ at 1 year they will check blood again and said have a bone density test. Don't know the cost of the visit yet, luckily my insurance is pretty good!

Wow!! Most days I barely can eat 800 calories! Can't imagine eating 3000, I'd be so nauseated! Do you still take a Zantac or equivalent? That may help with the hunger.

Great work on 95 pounds lost! How long ago did you complete the surgery? No I have not been taking any heart burn medicine as I have not had heart burn since then. I was unaware that it helped with hunger.
