Dr. Lowen in walnut creek has had the DS herself, she's amazing. I'm not sure if she's accepting new patients, but it's worth a try! http://www.walnutcreekmedicalgroup.com/Staff.aspx

Highest 68 Surgery: 65 Current: (6.5mo post) 49.1

I just realized I never did this! I kind of go in and out of the forum randomly. Well to start off, I'm Amber. I had my DS Oct 23, 2013 with Dr. John Rabkin in San Francisco. Highest weight 425, Surgery Weight 391, Currently I'm 298. The first time under 300 since 2005! Very exciting. I...

Just to add to what everyone else is saying. The first few weeks, I didn't like anything that I had bought pre-op and I swear my boyfriend made multiple trips to the stores to get me random things to see if I could eat them . I would recommend trying to find someone to hang out for a bit, or...

I'm 6months out from the DS, and I'm slightly the same way. I think this is all triggered by hormones leaving from the weightloss. I'm a huge music person, last night I skipped a concert I have been waiting for for months because I just didn't have the want to go. I haven't done anything with...

Haha! Twoterville! Love it. Thanks guys! :D

I woke up the morning after my DS with a full blown heavy period. *ugh* Since then it hasn't been a happy thing for me. 2 months after surgery, I got a mirena coil put in, after that I've had irregular periods since, they're finally starting to become 'normal'-But I'm still pretty heavy a few...

I'm a few weeks late with posting, but I made it! As of 4/9 I am 299!!!

I'm scared to eat breakfast at fast food chains. The 'fake eggs' KILL me. I had a breakfast burrito at Jack in the Box (Ate out of the tortilla) and the feggs (fake eggs) took a toll on me, so now I'm nervous to try anything else breakfast at fast food.

It's funny, Elizabeth, how you mention the differences with burgers! It's sooo true. If I eat a burger from McDonalds I get the worst stomach cramps. If I have one from Red Robin, I'm blowing up the whole room with toxic gas, but if I get one from Carls Jr. or a homemade one, I'm fine! It's...

Even more progress!

to 300lbs I can 'smell it'! Holy toledo. I haven't been near 300lbs in 7-9 years! I got on my scale this morning and it said 304. I do my 'official' weigh in next week at my monthly meetings. Lets hope I can get those 4lbs off to make it official. I just needed to share my excitement!

Man, I've been dealing with this for a few months, finally my Mother suggested Nioxin shampoo-It started working within a week! It's dramatically reduced the falling out hair! I'm so happy.

*speechless*

My BMI was 68 when I started my journey, 65 at surgery. Sometimes I have issues with coping with that, and wondering if I'll get to my goal. It's definitely scary to think about.

LOL! beat the hell out of them and add some milk. *shrugs* Or maybe add more shredded cheese to them? Or the more 'crap' you put in them, it will break up the sponginess of it, and it'll be more chunky with goodness, if that makes sense to you at all.

That's so funny! Add spices! Do you add any spices to your eggs??

I didn't realize how much things have changed until I looked at these photos yesterday. I couldn't believe that this is only a 22lb difference. Just wanted to share! I'm so excited!

This is something that's quick and easy to make. You don't have to use bacon-you can use anything you want in the egg. I like bacon, cheese and olives. Season the eggs to your liking. Only recommendation that I do to alter this recipe is that I do mostly cook my bacon before putting it in...

Would anyone be willing to post up their vitamin schedule they use throughout the day? (Mainly for the DS surgery please) I'm curious on how everyone splits up what they need. Thank you!
