Hi Abbie, Wow has it really been that long. Congrats on being down 110 pounds, though I'm very sorry that it's been so rough. The important thing is that you haven't given up. What do the Doctor and the Nutritionist say about your problems? I will keep you in my prayers, that things begin to settle down for you. I would say that if your Surgeon can't help you, then consult with another Bariatric Specialist to see if they can see something.

As for me, I've been very lucky, down 190 pounds, sitting at 201, 6 pounds from my goal. I did have an umbilical hernia last month that required surgery. Fortunately we caught it early enough that it could be repaired laproscopically. He also cleaned out some scarring that was contributing to the pain.

Please let me know how you are doing.

I am a little nearly a month out already and each day is a challenge..being a water drinker since i was born...getting 64 oz down is a lot easier than getting the protein down...i get 16 oz of water down before 10am. I get four ozs of protein drink in that time as well...and it should be 11 oz...i have Premier from costco...it has 30 grams so only have to get three of them down a day... wrots of ruck! They taste great..before the surgery I enjoyed them...but boy howdy its impossible now..not loosing weight....been the same for three days now..and I know when i was on other diets i did this when i was only eating 800 calories a day..i dont burn i dont eat....guess i will just keep struggling along!

Abbie, glad I could be of help. Any time you want to talk, ask a question or just vent, let me know.
