9 yrs later gained weight.
I had my gastric bypass 9 yrs ago. My surgeon after my 2nd post op visit told me that he no longer took my insurance. I was devastated. No dr @ the time would see another drs patient. I was winging it, In 2010 I got accepted into another local dr group. At the time I thought that I knew it all. I failed. I am now back at…

Dieting and heartburn (or stomach burn) question

Help I am hungry all the time
I don't know what to do I have been hungry like all the time. When I do eat I measure out my food then about an hour or so later I am hungry. I have been drinking all my fluids I get about 12 cups or more of water a day and I still want more food. When I eat cheese or almonds it fills me up as a snack but I still want more.

Dumping Syndrome
I know better. I don't eat sweets or white carbs because I don't want to dump. If you've ever done it, you don't want it to happen ever again. So last night, I needed to get in about 25o calories before bed. I fixed a small bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crisp...with the berries...and later followed that with a Fiber One fudge…

Fiance Does Not Notice Weight Loss
I'm getting a little bit upset that my fiance has not noticed my weight loss. I haven't weighed myself to see how much I have lost so far, but I was able to put on a size smaller jeans today.
