Ya, I have always liked jelliebelly candie and gummy bears so it does not surprise me but ......... I ate NO sugar for about a year and then started to have a candy sucker here and there and then daily and then two to three daily and then switched over to JellyBellys. They are really small...

No accounting for jerks in our families YOU are doing a great job and that is that!! Some in your family and in many families are going to try to undermine what you have accomplished. Some are jealous and some do not like the control you have now over what you are eating and what you look...

I agree, want to know how you are doing Bamababy. I have had a rough year for sure, trouble eating much food, cannot digest things like pasta, red meat and still eating small, I mean small, meals due to feeling full fast. I am now 133 pounds and would like to stop losing but still losing...

I get nauseated if I eat pasta at all or salad but now a little (few pieces ) can be tolerated. I get really hungry but full fast. EAT VERY slowly, Chew 22 times for each mouthful, put fork or spoon down for at least 30 seconds betw mouthfuls. I complained enough that they did a UGI and it...

WE started our own group and meet at the same hospital and meet about every other week. Very supportive and if we want to do the educational parts then they are held on a different night and mostly educational.

So it was one year ago last week that I had the RNY surgery. Still not eating much at a time. When I say that, I can eat very little meat or chicken, a few tablespoons if mashed potato or squash. Up til Sunday NO salad greens and no pasta. If I ate salad or pasta I get full very fast and do...

Pat, you sound great!! I have not been on for a while, I am now at about 148#s but not eating very much, get full VERY fast, can eat 1/4 of a normal sandwich and I am so full! Also a full/ache feeling in my chest the moment I put something in my mouth so I think they are going to do an...

Pat99 Yes they are huge, when I took them before the surgery I thought they tasted vile, so I do not want to taste them but maybe breaking in half or quarters and swalloing fast. I was told to not take any pills bigger than my little finger nail. I can say the Biotin shampoo I use has made my...

Cynthia Buffington PhD what is your PhD in? What you wrote seems copied from a Nutrition text. Some true and some horsefeathers! I am a medical provider, I do know what sodas can do to bones, to stomas etc. and I find what you wrote to sound very dry and very nutrition like but not sure...

My blood work came back and suprisingly it showed I am not dehydrated(I drink about a bottle of fluid a day if that) and my counts are great(dispite not taking my vits every day) and Calcium and etc seem all good. The vits are the Flintstones complete chewables and they are NASTY tasting, I...

swimming is great for body tone but will not help much in losing weight. UNLESS you are are really pushing and getting really aerobic with the swimming. Also drink a protein drink after you are dressed after swimming and it will help to build muscle and lose fat. We are what we eat, if you...

I have that book and like the recipes but go to the website Theworldaccordingtoeggface.org great recipes there and advice

Might have nothing to do with your surgery, you need to see a neurosurgeon to make sure there is nothing wrong with the nerve that serves that area, can be a slipped disc but if so it is very important to be seen immediately. Do you have any back pain? Did it come on slowly or quickly? Either...

Pat99 how do you take the Hair Skin and Nails since it is a huge pill, did you crush it? I am using a Biotin shampoo bought at Vitamin Shoppe and no hair loss YET. I did take the Hair skin and nails before the surgery for about 3 weeks or so. The shampoo I am using you massage in it, it...

I have to be honest, I take a swallow or two of carbonated drink one a day or two but it does make me feel full immediately. I did ask doc and he said it DOES NOT stretch the pouch but it makes you uncomfortable and will not eat what you should due to that feeling and it makes you burp and...

ICE drinks somehow do not bother my stomach BUT I only drink a little at a time but do like that little fizzy sensation on my mouth. Lately I get thirsty a lot so the ICE tastes good an quenches the thirst. Be careful, I think if you do a very little at a time it is fine and it gets the pouch...

I could not drink the protein drink for about a month so much I did not even try anymore. Then one day about 2 weeks ago(2.5 mos out) I tried and I was able to drink the protein. Take it easy on yourself, drink the fluids as much as you can and have soups and yogurt etc which turns to liquid...

Darkpoetangel did you really lose 119 pounds since October 22 of 2012?? That is a lot of weight in 5 mos. How do you feel? You got to your goal in 5 mos that is pretty good!!

I had mixed feelings for a few weeks but now am so glad I did it. First few weeks were tough for me but once I realized that some of the rules are not for safety or for the surgical part but was just retraining your eating habits I started to eat what I want but making sure I did eat the...
