    Sweeteners, Sugar, and DS, OH MY!

    You might feel differently about sweeteners after surgery, especially RIGHT after surgery. I got extremely nauseous walking down (or even past) the pudding aisle in Wal-mart after surgery for the first 5 or 6 weeks and still don't feel the same about many sweet smelling things. As a diabetic, I...

    Hoops to get my DS referral

    This was the best post ever!!!!! Too funny! I am married and hubby said there has been no poo smell! Most days, I go when first getting up and again, about a half hour later. Both are before I go to work,which is good, since I am shy about doing this at work. Occasionally, will go again upon...

    New here. 5 weeks out and I can't take it anymore

    As a newbie, I have no advice and will leave that to the veterans who are so knowledgeable. Do want you to know that you are in our thoughts and we all are pulling for you. Am really sorry you are having to suffer like this and hope a solution is found soon. As far as your children, I understand...

    My (Robs), New Update 7+ Months Post-Op

    I would be curious to know what the lengths were before surgery as one of my doctors had said years ago that she was shocked at how quickly I could gain and she wondered at the time if I had the famine survivor gene. Of course, later, they debunked that whole idea. Honestly, there are still...

    The three week stall

    Is this the same glycogen that kicks in when my sugar gets low sometimes in the middle of the night and causes me to have a high blood sugar by the morning? I'm guessing it is, but, was just wondering. Also,have wondered why it does not always work and ends up with some diabetics dying from low...

    HaHaHa! I feel you, man, as my daughter would say! Have had waaaay too many times that body has suddenly stopped losing and am trying to trust it and the DS. But,you're right,my head is the hardest part to get around! Need to keep track of all the stalls at the different times so it can be...

    How did you find out about Bariatric Facts?

    I had found DS facts first or, obesity help, and had them all confused in the beginning. I had read a lot of what Diane wrote and it convinced me to get the DS. On one of my posts, I mentioned her and how helpful her stuff was. Soon after, Larra emailed me at that site and said many had moved...

    Hope I am posting this in the right spot!

    Aaaaaahhhh! One or two a month?!? Yikes! Had one before, but, it only lasted a week. This 5 weeks was scary, especially when am still nervous about whether it is going to work. I was thinking, did I just spend our family's money for nothing? So glad to have been wrong!

    Hope I am posting this in the right spot!

    I am looking forward to the day when weeks will go by (maybe even months?) without feeling the need mentally to get on the scale! Feel like it needs to be checked once a week to keep an eye on it! It is so quick when I gain that so much damage can be done in so little time. Am trying to trust...

    My (Robs), New Update 7+ Months Post-Op

    The adapting thing scares me! It is great evolutionary wise, but, not so great for us. Please, please, please body do not figure out how to undo this! Have heard it takes from 10 to 15 years for the mucous layers to start thickening and absorbing more calories.

    How they do figure out if you're a super absorb-er? I have suspected that I am for years, but, am curious how they figure that out.

    My (Robs), New Update 7+ Months Post-Op

    I am, but was freaked out a couple of weeks back when there was no weight loss for 5 weeks! Thank goodness, it started again and have lost 12 in the last two weeks. It's so weird because nothing has changed, guess it was just ready to lose again.

    My (Robs), New Update 7+ Months Post-Op

    I was like that with burgers at first, too, and eventually could eat them again. They have to be medium rare and juicy, though. I never understood husband and daughter's issues with food textures before this surgery, just thought they were big babies, but, now, I get it. He made burgers one day...
