I use unjury as well. I use unflavored as I could not tolerate the sweetness of the flavored kind. I also don't eat or drink anything with artifical flavors or sweetners. It took me a few tries to find the right one. You can get samples sizes so you don't have to invest too much money in...

Your body might be metabolizing things differently now. I would check with your treatment providers to ensure your dose is correct. I would not recommend you stop taking your medications abruptly as this should be done under the care of a doctor. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I know you are disappointed. I can hear your suffering. I think at this point you can keep working with your psychiatrist and if you remain stable with your symptoms you can have another evaluation. Don't give up. Many here have had bumps in the road to getting surgery, don't give up hope it...

Welcome. Congratulations on what will be a life changing experience. Each step will bring you greater knowledge about the journey you have decided to undertake. Come back often to ask questions and get support. You will not only be helping yourself, but those further alone in their journey...

Welcome to both of you. Lacey waiting is hard, but time will go very quickly once you are approved. Be prepared before you go in with all that you will need afterward. That helped me a lot. losingitforgood I think a lot of us have been on the yo yo journey. Each failure would feel worse...

Welcome and congratulations on your decison to take back your life. I waited 10 days for a decision for the sleeve. My daughter is going through the process right now. She was also told about 10 days. I started to think about wls and had a consultation in my 40's. It took my another 10 years...

Thinking of all of you I have not seen hear for awhile and hope that all is well. Thanking you all for the support that you gave me when I was a newbie. It provided the hope I needed to know that everything I was going through someone else had been through as well. Hoping that I can pay it...

Thanks for the reminder. Every time I can walk up the stairs, or up hills a little faster and without having to stop to catch my breathe I just say thank you. The surgery can't take away all the pains, but it has given me the motivation to want to do more. Congratulations on your progress.

I am so sorry for the complications you are having. It sounds like your doctors are working with you to restore your health. Having to start over with the food plan must be disappointing. Keep fighting you have been through a lot, but you are still here. Use this forum for additional...

Welcome to the forum. Protein shakes and popsicles will be your friends for awhile post surgery. It is all worth it. You sound like you have a great attitude. Keep up the good work and let us know how you are doing.

welcome to the forum. You sound like you are on track. One foot in front of the other and before you know it you will be beginning a new chapter in your life.

Welcome. I know Medicaid covers VSG in NY. Not all states cover all services. That is in all medical care not just WLS. I hope that soon all states will see the cost effectiveness of WLS compared to ongoing medical issues. In the end it is all about money and WLS makes better financial...

Hi Anthony, as you know this food addiction has nothing to do with food. I think it would help to go into counseling with somone who works with people who have eating disorders. I know in NY there are rehabs you can go to where you have supervision all the time. This can help prepare you for...

Congratulations on making the choice to follow doctor's orders. Nothing about others eating what they can is fair-such is life. I am 10 months post op and I stuck to my food plan yesterday. I had salmon and spinach. There were 15 family members and we went to our favorite resturant...

JavaJoy explained everything very well. I did have an upper GI, but did not need an endoscopy. I was reporting shortness of breath so I had a nuclear stress test in order to be cleared. I could not walk on the treadmill so they did a simulated one where they injected me with something to...

If these are new symptoms, I would get bloodwork done for everything. I take 2 mulit vitamins a day, b12, calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. I was low in vitamin A and iron as wll as D. So I had to supplement. I am off the A and iron, but have to continue with the vit D. I get my multi and...

Sounds like you are loving your sleeve. Sorry about the nausea, but I think it will pass. It happened to me in the beginning. I went from a 24 to a 12. I do have a small muffin top. Just too much skin. It's funny it wasn't as noticable before surgery. I guess it was just filled out. I...

Well I have been at a stall for a few weeks and just losing slowly. I have not set a goal weight for myself as I know me and I will focus on that instead of the present moment. I did set 1 goal about a month ago to lose 100 pounds. I wanted to do it by my birthday, which was last week. It...

It happened to me as well in yoga. Thank goodness my yoga pants fit well. I finally went out and bought some new ones. Your right Frank I was smiling inside.

May the positive energy you give also be the energy you recieve. Peace
