Tom is so right. Get a scale, especially in the beginning. It is so important. I bought a digital scale so I could see the measurement easier since my eye sight isn't as good as it used to be. Now it basically sits in a drawer. I use it every now and again.

I agree. If you are losing 5 to 6 pounds a week and you are eating 1 cup of food for your meals - be happy. Just tell your doctor. I think you are losing really fast. I am almost 6 months out and I am still on one ounce of food per meal. And I am never hungry. Good luck.

Hey everyone, I saw my GP today and he said that I need to lower the dosage of my blood pressure medicine and that I should have called him immediately. My bad. My sugar is down to normal. Wonderful. I have another appointment in a month to see how the pressure is doing. If I find it...

You know, I have been having the same trouble. I don't think it is gas but my stomach or pouch hurts or should I say uncomfortable-not really hurts, unless I touch it, rub my tummy. Any pressure is uncomfortable. My intestines do too. I think that is why I don't eat very much. I try to eat...

I have used Isopure and some I like and some I don't. I like it very cold. However, the taste of whey protein isolate is very hard for me to enjoy. I drink it because I have to. I drink Isopure when I need a premixed protein drink for on the go. I like the apple one. We all have different...

HI Jazzy, Welcome Naked Juice? Now that's a new one for me. What I was instructed was to drink anything which is sugar free (5 to 10 calories). Protein drinks with no sugar and very low in carbs with about 30 grams of protein. That is it. Tired of Protein drinks, OH YES I CAN RELATE. But...

HI Sky and welcome to the forum. This is a great place to go when you need someone to talk to. I have used it for many issues. You have had the lap band so this shouldn't be much different. I know with the lap band you have more foods available to you right off. Well, surgery is a big step...

I am just amazed at what people can eat. I think I have the strictest doctor. I would kill to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. I have always love fruits and veggies. I could be a vegetarian. I am only allowed protein. I find the advice given already to have said it all. Tom and Pat are...

Nana, you aren't even out of surgery a month. I don't ever remember being hungry especially that soon after surgery. I am not familiar with the duodenal switch. It could be just the differences in the surgeries. I also wonder if it is hungry you are feeling. Rumbling sound-hum. I am also...

I am really sorry that I confused you guys so much. I wasn't planning on fasting. I found myself not eating or drinking for 3 days due to problems I was having in my home. It is all over now and I am back to a normal diet. Well , if you can call it that. I still have problems with an upset...

Mary, Yes, yes, and yes. My tastes change constantly. I can't say that I now like something which I didn't before but right after surgery everything tasted too sweet. They gave me Crystal Light in the hospital and I couldn't drink it so I took it home and diluted it. Now I am finding that I...

Let's see now. I have a hard time with vitamins. I tried liquid vitamins and I gagged. I tried chewables and I gagged. I tried Bariatric Advantage chewables and I really gagged. So even though I was told that gummies don't have enough vitamins in it I take the gummies. Next month I will...

Thanks guys, I have an appointment with my doc as soon as he gets back from vacation. I cant see him any sooner. So it is only 5 more days.

So today I had a terrible experience. I was right on track with my protein and my water intake. I went to a church function. While there I needed to kneel. I was kneeling for about 5 minutes when I started to feel real sick. I got very lightheaded, started to sweat, felt sick and weak, and...

Hi Mary, You are so right. I bought an ipod shuffle and I love it. Not only does music make me happy but you move better to music. I am soooooo very happy for you. You are such a positive person. I said that I was going to reward myself with a manicure and pedicure when I went below 200...

Thanks for the laugh. I have needed one for a while now.

Start exercising right away. Even if you just walk (which is very beneficial) .

I am not diabetic but I keep thinking that my blood sugar is probably low. Today I experienced something really bad. I was on track with protein and water and I was at a church function and was kneeling for about 5 minutes when I started to break out in a sweat, breathing heavy, and a bit...

Hi Rich, What is mashed pot blended soup? Is it potato? That could be the problem. I know I am still not allowed to eat potatoes no matter how they are cooked but all doctors are different. I agree with the others who say if it continues go see your surgeon. Remember to eat slow, slow, and...

Donna, I am so happy for you. I know you will do great. Struggles will come and go but we will always be here for you just like everyone is here for me. So in about 9 weeks your life will be changed forever.
