    Mercy, Gramercy, Presbyterian. From what I can tell from the website. Not my neck of the woods, so I’m not too familiar.

    Probiotic help, please

    Carbs are very limited. I know how I react to carbs and this is different. I guess to do an elimination diet I would just do protein and water to start?

    Probiotic help, please

    I am 5 and a half years post-DS, maintaining a 100 pound weight loss. I have never taken probiotics, never felt it necessary. For about the last 2 months, I have been waking up at 2:30AM like clockwork, and spending the next 2 hours on the toilet. Sorry for the TMI, but I need relief. I need...

    NSV after all these years

    So I rarely post, but had to share here... DS was 4/29/13. SW 270. LW 137 at a year post op. Enjoyed being “little” and “tiny” for a year or so. Also suffered a bit of body dysmorphia, as I actually looked unhealthy, and was embarrassed to see people for a while. On top of this, suffered severe...

    Social drinking

    Hello, I just passed my 5 year surgiversary, and up until recently have had very little desire to drink alcohol. I was also on some meds that were contraindicated with it so it wasn’t an issue. I am now off those meds and more social, and therefore have had the opportunity to imbibe...

    One week plus post op

    The first month, showering was pretty much an hours-long affair. Shampoo, rest, rinse, rest, soap up, rest.... you get the idea. And then a nap after. For some reason that was the most exhausting activity. It does get better. I actually forgot that part until I read your post! At almost 5 years...

    Question about Pee - how much is really too much

    SIADH is my first thought, as a nurse of course. And while I have never measured my output, I do pee more volume than I did preop, (I'm 4 years out) but less often, but I still go at least 6x/day. I attribute it to the the fact that since the weight loss, my bladder has more room to stretch...

    Summer fruits

    Diana, you give me hope! I'm 4 years out...10 to go! And I can have my peaches.

    Summer fruits

    And interestingly I'm ok with cantaloupe. And watermelon. I guess I'm thankful for that.

    Summer fruits

    Hi all, So I rarely eat fruit...too many carbs and they generally don't sit well. But peaches and tomatoes are my faves and are at their peak now, so I've been indulging. OMG huge mistake. My poor belly. And butt. I'm so sad. Has anyone else had trouble with peaches and/or tomatoes?

    Sunday Weigh In (7/16/2017)

    2 weeks ago: 178 TW: 175 The magic DS. So my cynical side says, why not eat in "vacation mode" all the time? Ice cream more days than not, candy, even a hamburger roll and soft pretzel. My logical side realizes this was like a reset, a jump start on the metabolism. And it is not without...

    Sunday Weigh In (7/9/2017)

    I'm unable to weigh this week as we're on vacation, which is a good thing because I'm having a carb extravaganza. But I'm also walking way more than I do in real life, so we'll see how the scale reacts when I get home. Have a great week, everyone!

    Sunday Weigh In (6/25/2017)

    2 weeks ago 178 Today 178 Funny thing, this DS. Still learning 4+ years out. When I'm super strict, i.e., less than 50 carbs per day, the damn scale won't budge. When I indulge- my daughter's bday this week, and she left the cake here- I maintain or drop a pound or 2. I'm happy. I'll keep on...

    Is it okay to take Imodium 4 days post-op?

    My "going rogue" a week or so post DS was sucking on a saltine. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
