    Diana, that's some story too! We couldn't believe our luck. Especially because it took us years to get pregnant the first time! Thanks for your reply and all you do for this community. It's been a huge benefit to me over the years. xx

    Almost 5 months / Almost 100 pounds!

    Hi everyone! I haven't really checked in on this board since I was very newly switched and having some dietary issues, but I do read posts from time to time. Thought I would start a new thread to update you on my progress as I approach my 5 month anniversary from surgery. I had a significant...

    Show me your daily menu (Post-op)

    I am not a fan of the protein supplements, so I try to get all my protein from food right now. I know some of the vets here never touched a supplement, hoping I'll be as lucky...

    Nutrition and Vitamin info I was given

    Will, I posted a sample menu of mine on another forum. I understand about the carbs and how some people avoid them entirely. I would say some days I do, but some days I have a few bites. Just depends. I seem to be able to tolerate most food so far and I'm already well above the 30/60/90 rule, I...

    Show me your daily menu (Post-op)

    If anyone is interested, please tell me how many weeks/months/years you are out from surgery and what a typical day looks like for you in terms of eating. Here is mine: 5 weeks out Breakfast: 2 eggs 2 slices thinly sliced ham cheese Snack: Large Curd Cottage cheese Lunch: Small-medium bowl...

    Another 3 week stall :(

    Thanks for the post, Will, you are always so encouraging! I'm getting all my protein from food (no shakes) so no carbs are sneaking in. And I hardly ever eat any. As you said, I'm mostly on an Atkins type diet right now, where I occasionally have a tiny bit of carbs in the form of a few bites of...

    Nutrition and Vitamin info I was given

    I know this list isn't accurate for me but I've gotten so much information (eat no carbs/eat some carbs/eat more carbs, for instance) that I find myself never really knowing how to eat. So I mainly stick to (a lot of) protein, veggies, and whatever fat happens. And occasionally some carbs, which...

    Nutrition and Vitamin info I was given

    I've been meaning to share the info given to me by the nutritionist at my surgeon's office. Just to see if anyone has anything to say about it. This same info was given to a group of bariatric patients, regardless of which procedure they had done. So DS'ers, gastric bypass, sleeve, etc, we all...

    Another 3 week stall :(

    I understand that logic completely, but it's hard to go through this process and not, at least initially, feel inclined to check that it's "working" - even if the scale is not the best way to do that. It's just had to get past wanting to do it.

    Another 3 week stall :(

    Dave, I hope you're able to get out of your stall. Like you, I have close to 200lbs to lose total. You are much closer to it than I am, but I know that doesn't make a stall any more tolerable! What week out from surgery are you?

    Another 3 week stall :(

    I've thought about that too! I do have a few days where I was getting closer to 1200 cals. I need to focus a little more on eating for sure.

    Another 3 week stall :(

    I'm not obsessed with weighing, but I DO do it too much. I'm gonna try to take this advice! I think I mainly weigh to make sure I'm doing everything right and don't need to change anything, but little good that's doing me right now. Thank you for the challenge!

    Researching DS Surgeons in MN

    I had the DS on June 2 (a little over a month ago) right after turning 35. I don't have enough experience to contribute much else, but I wish you great luck with this decision!

    Another 3 week stall :(

    I just searched the forums, and remember reading about this prior to surgery, but once the 3 week stall happens to you it's totally different. It's infinitely worse. I'm a little over a month out and I've been in a pretty constant stall (even gaining some weight back) since around 3 weeks and I...
