Ok so I was an avid follower and reader of this sight for months... but now I find it hard to get on here and believe everything I read.

I have went to my drs and asked alk the questions that were brought up on here and a lot of them my dr just laughed at and explained it for a sleeve patient vs a bypass patient.

He told me I can drink as I eat the valve will not just open and wash out food that is a bypass thing. Nothing with the valve has been changed. He said it will just make you full faster so instead you should eat your food but if you feel the need to drink do so.

The constipation/diarhea is most likely caused by your Protein drinks and bars because other than your stomach being smaller there is no difference in how your body works.

The only thing he says is watchbout for a lot of bad carbs like candy, cakes and such but good carbs are ok. Eat until your full.

My nutritionist says the same. I track roughly 3-5 days a week and she says that's fine and to stay between 1000/1200 calories a day. If you feel the need for a hersheys kiss track it. And to always get your 80 gms of protein in and your 64oz of Fluid.

I keep seeing so many other things and stories on here about things that I look up and those are the rules of bypass patients..

Just somethings drs disagree on I suppose and they all do things different. Usually I don't drink while eating but I can right after. It doesn't make me any hungrier any earlier I eat about every 3 to 4 hours and seem fine. My demons are haunting me.. candy crackers and chips and I am trying to fight those demons. I just don't know how. I need to get them out of my house... I don't like halloween bevause my boys bring home so much candy and I always have found myself eating more than they do. ..

Trying to eat cleaner and stay away from carbs.. I have 3 months of my honeymoin phase and have noticed a dramatic slow down of my weight loss. So here's to me getting back on the wagon...

Don't say Nazi. I got in trouble for that once.

And I'm sarcastic and mean. That's why I'm "SLMP" instead of "Sleeve Master that knows way more than you". I'm a Sarcastic Little Mean Person.

Oh I love you Cheri.

Yeah....it may have been me that scolded you for saying nazi. And when I say it may have been....I'm sure it was. I hate that label being thrown around slightly more than the bully label.

Btw.....that has to be the shortest post you've ever written.

Point proven grow the hell up. Fools

Because name calling is the epitome of maturity.

I hear Butter loves picking.

I really have no idea what this thread is about and why everyone is getting so bent out of shape...but here's my two cents....mean people suck. Be nice. Is it really worth getting so worked up over a post from a total stranger on the internet? Nah. Life's too short.

And sometimes I do like people.

I suspect you like sniffing crotches of people, not people.

If you MUST know, Pugs prefer sniffing butts....thank you very much!!!

Your lips are sparkly.

I call bullying! You can't make fun of my long posts, it hurts my feelings.

As if you were the only one to (rightly) take me to task for that? I think I got slammed by several people. Anyway, I was teasing you. But note, I haven't used the word the same way since.

I fully believe I have less likes on this forum than you and Laura because illiterate people skip my posts and you two keep it short, sweet and simple. LOL!

Oh wait, is that bullying? Damn. I'm really no good at this crap.

Thankfully, I believe this absolute trainwreck of a thread has been nicely derailed. Can I start posting food porn here?

I like to think that my nose picking escapades helped in the derailment!

I will.

That picture is a food trainwreck. But at least it's genuine food porn. Did you see the salads they were trying to pass off as porn on another thread? Nuh-uh, not buying it.

So, I was that freaky weird kid that liked plain cornflakes better than any other Cereal. Or corn chex. Or cheerios. No sugar on top, either.

I'd rather post pictures of my freaking adorable (screamy, never sleeping) baby instead.

She's awesome, just like her ma.

All I know is when I see one of your posts I get comfortable.....put on my reading glasses......take my Ritalin.....send an email to my wife letting her know I'll be out of touch for an hour or so.....maybe get a bite to eat first cause I know it's gonna be a while.

But seriously I don't mind long posts as long as there are paragraph breaks every so often. If it's one solid block of words my eyes tend to cross before I finish reading? And yes it's true....sometimes I write specifically to my ADHD brethren....they are my people.

And now kitty porn. My little buddy Johnny Cash. RIP.

I am feeling ignored.
