    Enhanced Malabsorbtion and No Carbs

    Whoa, WHAT? I'm going to have to try collagen! I am plagued with severe, debilitating cramps! Not dehydrated, all electrolytes and minerals where they should be and STILL I die. Thanks for the heads up!

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    It's true, but it's hard to explain to other DSers who don't know my story why I'm soooooo fat :(

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    Today I am humbled and thankful. In one of the DSer groups I saw a story about someone losing too much weight with severe vitamin deficiencies. Sometime I get so obsessed with still being fat, that I forget that I could have a worse, opposite problem. I cannot imagine being so thin and afraid...

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    Still going fairly strong. I say fairly because we went out to eat with friends last night and I wasn't 100% (I had some Rose wine). And then today I decided to test out the Hershys sugar free candies lol. As I was nom nom noming I was reading about how milotol isn't keto and all the effects it...

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    So I just read about the SADI-s vs RNY study blurb on fb, I'm responding to it here because my emotional response to it is irrelevant to the subject matter and it is a self-entered view of the data even though I had neither the RNY or SADI-s. Successful patients are those who have kept off 50%...

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    Finally! For the love of all that is holy. 2lbs down from the start of this. I was beginning to think I would have to starve to death forever more. Before my DS I could do keto without all the weird psycho effects it has on me. Now that I am...counts on fingers 7 years post DS and absorbing...

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    So I just googled my fingers raw. I think I have figured some of it out. Recently (in the last couple of months) I was diagnosed with PsA (autoimmune psoriatic arthritis) and me being the stubborn mule I have always been, I refused biologics (for now). Instead I dove head first into an...

    RNY is only choice for me

    I'm late to this parade, but my brother just had a RNY as he has had barretts esophagus since the age of 10. For him it was about quality of life, not about weight loss completely. His whole esophagus has erosion going up into his pipes. He is kinda a mess. He saw my success with the DS but...

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    Back where I started on day 1 weight wise lol. I swear my dudes, my body has a mind of it's own. I saw my hemo today because I am feeling like crap and my gums are white. I doubt he will infuse me because my ferritin is 45, 20 points MORE than it was in January....with zero supplementation...

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    Welp. Day 2 of calorie counting keto. I'm exhausted lol. Like sleepy exhausted. Trying to keep up on my electrolytes with gatorade zero. I weighed this morning as was up 5lbs lmao. I swear if weight gain was a talent, I would be a gold medalist! I know it's just my body throwing a fit, but hot...

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    Thank you for understanding. I swear people think I am lying! I am waiting for someone to ask for my labs, and no one has lol. The do NOT want to know! One curious thing is my B1 is out of this freaking world high. I cannot find any info online as to why that would be without supplements but...

    Super Absorber: The Good, Bad & Ugly

    Hi folks! so I said I would create my own thread, so here it is :) I'm not sure what to include yet, except that life isn't fair haha. I absorb everything and it sucks. Dr K refused to revise me because I am 'healthy' and my DS was done "through the mesentery layer". I feel hopeless again...

    Enhanced Malabsorbtion and No Carbs

    According to Dr K, it varies by surgeon how they decide to do it. I begged that man to help me. Insurance would pay for it. He refused. His reasoning was sound, as a surgeon: I'm not dying, I don't have deficiencies and I am considered successful even though I am still SMO. It's depressing...

    Enhanced Malabsorbtion and No Carbs

    Ha you'll need to give me a minute (a day). It is cloudy and rainy here and thus I am sporadically bursting into tears. I am 100% solar powered. No depression to speak of when it is sunny, but let it be dark and I get very tearful! I should start my own thread as to not take over munchkins :)

    My New Job

    Sooo, I thought I would post here since I've been MIA action for a while. I ended up ghosting Lowe's after I was hired on the spot. It was part time and yet they wanted full, open availability. I realised I had more to offer than that and I was worth more. I decided to apply at the lab. It...
