I don't I eat healthy fats but keep them low. I also do natural sugar from fruit and such and on occasion real sugar or raw honey. I am allergic to artificial sweeteners.

I'm from close to Harrisburg, Pa. Anyone going to Penn State Hershey Medical center with Dr. Ann Rogers?

Hi @@LinKo! This post popped up when I was searching the forum for my surgeon - Dr. Rogers at Hershey. :) She did my gastric bypass in 2009; she has also taken out my gallbladder, fixed twisting intestines/scar tissue twists twice, jumped in for emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer, and most recently (May 11th) repaired a strangulated hernia in my small intestine. Anyway, just wanted to say that Dr. Rogers is AMAZING, and you're in very capable, qualified, caring hands. Her LNP, Lisa, is awesome quite awesome! And Bonnie Wilson, too - you'll probably meet her in the hospital if you haven't yet had surgery.

Thank you so much. That definitely puts my mind at ease. I've just started the process so I think I'm pretty far.from surgery.

Hey I'm doing ok I started purée foods lastnight and had some mashed potatoes today I had some baby food , yogurt and mashed potatoes . Felt good to feel full!!! Still some pain in the one incision site. Tied a lot and trying my best to get my protein in . How r u feeling?

I'm doing great. Down 50lbs now and eating normal food. Hope things are going good! post-248865-14345535728273_thumb.jpg

I had my surgery 3/18/2015. My starting weight, pre-OptiFast was 362. I'm down to 277 today I was a 56 waist now a 44 and still losing. I'm having some difficulty with the motivation to do strength training though.

I had my sleeve in January. Down 74lbs. Down 5 pants sizes and 2 shirt sizes. I'm doing pretty good, I feel good and have a lot more energy. I went off my insulin, just pills now and my sugars are good. I had a few problems in the beginning but things are really on the upside right now.
