I went home with one. It was a little annoying the first few days having it hang around my neck but it did its job. I'm thinking it's why I woke up feeling gassy instead of pain.

My surgeon prescribed a drug called Ursodiol for me to take for 4 - 6 months to prevent gallbladder issues from rapid weight loss. There is another popular drug that does the same thing but I can't...

8/20 6pm Support Group Meeting at Methodist Hospital Dallas (corner of Beckley and Colorado)

It was a GREAT meeting - you seriously rocked it!

Welcome Jo!

If I may ask, why do you find them intimidating?

Welcome Sandy! Yes I'd get sleeved again in a heartbeat. i've proven in the past that I can lose weight - this gives me a better chance of keeping it off.

disclaimer I can only tell you what I observed from my wife's membership./disclaimer

While I can appreciate the desire of wanting a woman-only atmosphere I guess I don't get it. Curves...

I get it - you have been sleeved longer and you have been on this board longer than I have. I respect vets in both instances. If you were to see my posts on another board I frequent you would see...

You don't speak for everybody - what I said happens on this board as well as other weight loss surgery boards FREQUENTLY.

My idea of not being supportive - skipping over your thread whining that...

I agree with what you've said here, but I am not here to enable people's bad behavior. There are people that post their "cheating" and expect validation for it. I'm not the person to see to make...

Are you tracking what you eat in MFP or something else?

How much protein are you getting per day? How much water are you drinking?

How often are you working out? What do you do and what is...

Is your ticker accurate? It says you are 14 days out from surgery, is that correct?

You'd probably be surprised how many people ask that same question!

I'd say no sooner than 7 weeks out, but remember that your surgeon has the final word.

Amy, i am going to have to disagree with you here based on something that I learned just this week. Starvation mode is a myth, how many pictures of POWs have you seen that are overweight because...

I am 5'9" and I first visited my surgeon in January of this year at 416 lbs. He almost laughed at me and blew me off when i told him i wanted to be 175lbs. When I went back to see him one week...

1 week postop I drove myself to my surgeon's office for my 1 week followup. Outside of any heavy lifting (your surgeon should have given you guidelines) you should be okay. Make sure you are able...

This right here!

I'm 10 weeks out an have an AMP Wheybolic shake with PB2 on my way to work every morning and try for two Syntrax Nectar shakes during the day along with my small meals. Look at upping your water...

This and make sure you're drinking enough water.

i started at 416lbs. My surgeon suggested bypass for me as well but i wasn't having it. I'm 50 years old and thought bypass was way too much rearranging for my comfort level. That and I didn't see...

Someone mentioned RTD Isopure. I happen to like isopure, but DO NOT BUY AN ENTIRE CASE WITHOUT TRYING IT FIRST! I expect you may have the same reaction as the 42g protein shot (New Whey is garbage,...

Too many carbs for a preop diet there - use the milk or use the fruit, but not both.
