Hi friends, This morning I woke at 6 am feeling extremely dizzy. My stomach also hurt. Because of the pain I was feeling I was hesitant to eat. I finally started a protein drink and in about 20 minutes I started to feel better. I am also on antibiotics. Has anyone else experience this? I am...

HI Kim, I know exactly how you feel. Let me just say that when I was at 4 weeks I had only lost 20 pounds and I was feeling like a complete failure. As my nurse explained it to me your body will catch up to you. You will lose fast all of a sudden. I am at 17 weeks now and have lost 60...

If I am taking in all of my protein in liquid form do I still need to eat solid food? Also, how much will it hurt if I fast for about 3 days except for water?

Hi QueenJp, Let me say welcome to this forum. I have found much help here. I also discovered that all doctors differ on what we can or cannot eat. Me, I can only eat pure protein until I lose 75% of my weight. I like the Nectar drinks the best. Fuzzy Navel and Pink Grapefruit are my...

I am in no way a saint and my husband will attest to that. I would rather keep and maintain the bathrooms after they deep clean it than go through this every year. Richard has tried to teach them to clean. Since I have been here he has done it several times but there is just no follow...

Oh, that is way north of me. If you so desire, Me, Natalie Hall is standing under an EASY STREET sign. If you so desire to give it another go. Thanks for your "happy, positive attitude".

Hi all my wonderful friends out here, I have had two experiences which were awful. I got really sick. The first time was Friday. It was about 12 noon and we (my husband and I) were on our way to the Huck Finn Jubilee. I was eating a protein bar. I started to feel sick about 20 minutes...

Hi Pat99, Is your name Pat? You are my RNY sister. You seem to be doing really great. I am very pleased with my weight loss. I have the largest arms and they just won't go away as the rest of me. Well, I really appreciate your comments. You are right and that Richard (dad) should have...

Hi Javajoy, Thank you for your reply. You are so right-they are men and I think should act like men. Richard my husband does support me but doesn't really follow through in a timely fashion. Yes, I do have my own bathroom. I am becoming how you described "death bed clean". I really don't...

Tom, You are an amazing man. I really think that you do understand my situation and made it very clear to me why this is happening now. You are so right. The better I feel the more I want my surroundings to reflect that. I would love to chat more about things when they come up because I...

I have gotten help here before so I thought I would try again. Ever since my surgery I have been so emotional. Now (4 months out) I am angry all of the time. Every little thing makes me angry. Now some things should make me angry but not to the extreme I am feeling it. Is this all just part...

Pat, I would love the recipe for making home made yogurt. If I start with Greek Yogurt will the new yogurt have the same amount of protein in it? How do you know the exact nutritional information when you make your own. How are you doing? I am down 41 pounds now. Your surgery date sister

OPPS my bad, the shipping was $10 so the cost of the Nectar comes out the same.

My support group meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at St. Bernadines Hospital in San Bernardino. I know it is far from San Diego but it would be will worth it and then we can meet. Look up on facebook Western Bariatric. You will learn more. They also have a web site.

All I have to say is money isn't everything. You must find a doctor who is reputable and knows what he/she is doing. Don't let money make the decision for you. Otherwise you will be sorry later. I heard of a woman who died while still in the hospital because they didn't listen to her...

I am just the opposite. I am never hungry. I can go all day without eating. I think it is because I try so hard to get in all my liquid. The protein drinks really fill me up. I drink Premier Protein Shake (30 grams of protein) with my morning vitamins. Sometimes it takes me over 2 hours to...

Doesn't muscle milk have a lot of sugar in it? My son says it tastes horrible. All tastes are different.

My doctor and nutritionist says that whey protein isolate is the best protein for absorption. I don't like it very much but there are some which I can tolerate. NECTAR I find is yummy. It is very fruity and I crave fruit. ISOPURE liquid drinks like grape and green apple I can also tolerate...

Thank you all

Thanks you guys, I will keep it up. I just hope it will be worth it.
