It can if you try but its hard to do. Keep off pop and beer ( carbonated beverages) and you should be fine. I'm a few years out and have gained some weight back but can not eat like I did before.

Thanks I posted there Ready to get started

I need something like this. I got stuck and hit a wall. The first 80 lbs came off fairly easily. When I got stuck I lost interest and drifted. Need to get back on the right track and start losing again. I think 20 lbs in 8 weeks is very conservative and doable. Count me in.

Congrats from the colonies. Wishing you well on your journey.

I purch a lot of small cans of tuna and Salmon which add a lot of protein for little calories. I also use cottage and ricotta cheese with a little Torani - Sugar Free syrup If I need a lot of protein I mix up a scoop of isolate and water and make a pancake. Use a little sugar free syrup and it does not taste too bad. Tuna…

My team told me to take it easy and not lift anything over 10 lbs for 6 weeks. I could use the treadmill but nothing else. Not even housework and vacuuming. Remember you had a lot of internal work and if you stress it you may not feel it but damage may be done. Take it easy for 6 weeks and then start back to exercise.…

I would suggest you keep it open to friends only. After a while you may find someone who you identify with and can "friend" them and share diaries. I do not have mine open to the public but have it open to those I accepted as friends. I hope this helps

sorry a no name

I used a ni name polysporin. Just to keep the infection down. Only one small area where they did most of the work shows the rest are almost gone now.

excellent article I hope it is accurate. It shows that I should be eating at least two to three times as much as I am currently eating to stay at my current weight. Hope to see me shedding more lbs over time

The clinic I go to said there were a lot but they did not want to research more than one They had us take the one offered by GNC and Walmart Allmax - Isoflex - Whey Protein Isolate I personally liked Chocolate With Real Chocolate Chips I also like the one Costco offered ( found out it had a little more sodium in it than…

While searching for recipes I found the Pinterest site. You can find almost anything there. By using the search terms Protein or Bariatric you can find all kinds of recipes. Almost too many.

I was having trouble getting the protein in so I took one recipe I found. Use isolate whey powder and water to make pancake batter and fry as you would a pancake. A little sugar free syrup and it tastes good. Adds about 35 g of protein for one small pancake.

I'm almost past the puree stage. Try the Faux Fried Egg on Eggface's site. Made it for the family and they could not figure out what it was until I told them. Other sites I found http://www.cookinglight.com/ http://www.eatingwell.com/ http://www.bariatriccookery.com/ http://bariatricfoodie.blogspot.ca/…

I just had a sleeve done this month The following are two good groups for suppport Gastric ByPass/VSG/LapBand VSGers Most of your questions can be found there

I was reading past posts, saw yours and thought I'd answer I'm from Saskatchewan. Most of the posts are from the states. I would assume your procedures would be closer to mine than most of the others. Any questions let me know.

Thanks. I will make sure I drink a lot of water. I am on my 2 week pre surgery liquid diet. Virtually no carbs at all. That must be the reason why.

I lost 55 lbs just through the diet leading up to the surgery. It is hard to stay on the diet. I had some issues with my meds. (too strong) I had my meds cut in half, But, I went off the diet for about a month and gained 10 lbs back. It is a life change that is necessary not yo yo dieting. The one thing I wished I knew…

I found the link I was talking about. (people compare their sizes) Groups › Gastric ByPass/VSG/LapBand under the topic What are your stats? Prior and now

I'm not a lady but my feet shrank and what were once tight shoes are loose. I lost over 50 lbs and am scheduled for my surgery where I hope to loose another 100lbs. maybe I'll wait to replace my shoes I am not sure where I saw it but there was a posting of people's sizes and a lot of people showed that they lost both size…

Sorry I tried to follow my instructions and found I mislead you Go to food pick a item to add food to (breakfast lunch dinner) choose add food then when the list of foods comes up you choose (tick box) the ones you do not want anymore then go to the bottom of the screen and hit the "delete items" button hope this is what…

I think your question was how do you change the foods that come up as your favourites here is how you do that Go to foods frequent Then highlight the ones you like to delete Go to the bottom of screen and hit the delete from list button

One tip I split my snacks by time of day. You can do this through the settings. this allows you to visually see if there is a pattern to watch for Time of day is important as well

I finally got penciled in for Nov 4. Its been a long ride. Here in Canada the surgery is free but there is a long waiting list. Once you get in the Que the fun starts. There is a full year of counseling with a team from the following specialties; psychologist, nutritionist, physical therapist, nurse and surgeon. There is…

It's never too late to start. One day I was sitting on the couch and had to think hard if it was worth it to get up. I knew that I had to do something or I would not be getting up one day "Soon" I talked to my doctor about Weight loss surgery and started a long road to get back in the human race. I have been using this…
