Wow! you are doing great! Keep up the good work. you are really close to your goal! I am down to 170 and still losing little by little. Not really trying, but still happy. I still eat too fast sometimes and throw up, but I'm really trying to get it under control. So unsatisfied with the way...

Update: I found out I am not experiencing "dumping" and have done a ton of tests this week. I have stopped drinking milk, which helped a big. Hoping to have the results soon and that they find something easy to correct. I think the green was from my remnant stomach as I didn't eat for over...

OMG! I am so impressed by your stats and your video. Great Job

The thing that stands out in your post is that you not only recognize the trigger, but you also recognize you need to do something about it. Also, none of us can do this alone. All of us have had some type of issue we need to overcome, you are not alone. I would not only make an appointment...

I understand how you feel. You seem to have done so well and you can get back on it. Some people have advised going back to a liquid diet for a week will get you going. As for motivation.... Why did you get the surgery? Perhaps writing down the reason/s will help. How is your health? Is it any...

Thanks Frank ! you guys are the best!

I would ask my doc for the name of an experienced surgeon. Good luck

I must congratulate you on your great progress. I should have known better than to write that comment. We are such an informed group! Keep up the good work!

It is my impression that it is illegal to have a pre existing clause in insurance as of this year. Please check this out. Congrats on you decision to "go for it" Please come here often and keep us posted

May I ask why you were taking a diuretic? I take furmoside for my heart. My bariatric doc told me to stop, but I was stubborn. I called my heart doc and he told me the same as the others in this area are suggesting. Please understand. You bariatric docs are concerned with your weight loss...

Wow. You were so good.... You made me cry and, thanks for giving me hope!

Thank you Thanks for your support. I guess I find it hard to admit that I am not in my 20's anymore. One month post op is not all that long. I will call the doc tomorrow, but I really think a lot of it was that I haven't been eating. Will switch back to liquid diet and start again. Thanks...

First of all, know that it can take as long as 4-6 months to get all of the tests out of the way. Does your GP have any documentation of your weight loss attempt? My requirements were the same as yours. They were satisfied with a list of diets I have tried. Good luck and you have found a...

Hey everyone! I am 1 month post op and I guess I expected a lot more. I get depressed because I have soooo many pills to take and that I still have a couple of issues. No pain, thank god, but I hurt every time I eat. I try to eat slow, but goodness. How can it take 1/2 hour to eat an egg...

It will be 4 weeks Wed and I am glad to report this is my first pain free day. No oxy, no tynlol. I have hope now! Yeah

like everyone said. We are all different and, no matter what, it is important to listen to your body. Take your time is a lot better than doing something too much and having a ton of more problems.

For sure! My plan is to live another 35 years, especially after this surgery.

My current favorite is small curd cottage cheese and mashed potatoes. and corned beef hash with one egg on top

Thanks! And look at your. Only a little over 20 lbs to go. I'm so proud!

BTW Happy New Year everyone. Lets hope we all reach our goals in 2014!
