Topic: RE: Anyone Else With Bad Gas Smell?
I have the gassssss also.... My Doctor gave me a phone number to call for the Internal Deodorant called DEVROM. I asked my pharmacy about it. They had only good things to say. I have used it for several months and it does help... My family really appreciates it. 
The phone number is 1-800-453-8898. The PARTHENON CO., INC. 3311 W 2400 SO. Salt Lake City, Utah 84119 or www.parthenoninc.com SAMPLES are available. The cost are not that much. Chewable or capsules. One with each meal.
Good Luck

What a difference 365 little days can make. Down 156 lbs from 410 at the time of the surgery. Had the operation at Clevelnad Clinic by Dr Rosenthal. My life hasnt been the same since.
Lets see for starters, got on a airplane and didnt have to ask for seat belt extender!.. Went to Bush Gardens in Fla and rode every roller coaster there. I dont know why but this seems to be a common interest in shrinking people!. Down from 4x shirts to x-large and they can be loose at times. 60inch waist done to a 42-44.
Would I do it again, in a heartbeat. Risks and all, it wouldnt matter. No more medications, its great.
To all that have shrunk with me, I tip my hat to you all. To the ones just starting out on this adventure, stick with it. Its all good!

Hope everyone has had a good year since their surgery. It will be 1 year for me on January 20th and as of right now, I'm down 132 lbs. I have more energy than I thought possible. I forgot what it was like to buy clothes that I liked and not have to settle for what I could find to fit. Congratulations and good luck to all! 
Topic: RE: Help, Am I eating to much....
Hi Bobi-Jo, I had lap rny on 1/28/03. I started at 257 and I down to 145 now. There are days that I feel like I have eaten way too much but in comparison to what I used to eat it is very little. If I do eat too much I woll usually vomit. I have dumped in the past so I do not eat sugar or high fats. I too can eat pizza and other stuff like it but instead of eating 1/2 of a large pizza I will eat 1 piece. So really be conscious of what you are taking in and you will soon realize that it is not a huge amount and do be aware of all of those BAD habits we all had in the past and try to pick healthier choices! Good luck and congrats on your success.

Hi, I had a Lap RNY on 1/20/03. I was 260 lbs and I am at 180. I have not been very good either about my eating. I started getting off of eating correctly around October. Since then I've been eating a lot of garbage. Like you I do not get sick or dump. It has been a very big concern of mine. But every day I wake up and tell myself that I'm going to do better than the day before. Sometimes I do and other times I do not. My problem is that I just graze all day long, never eating too much at any one time, but I know that isn't good at all. Your stomach can only hold so much food, so you can't eat all that much unless you purposely attempt to hurt yourself. I'm pretty disappointed in myself also since things were going so well. I know that I will get better day by day. My goal was to get back on track after the holidays anyway, but it will take me some time. You'll be fine. Take Care -Renee'

Topic: Help, Am I eating to much....
I had open RNY on May 6, 2003. I started at 330 lbs and now I am weighing in at 225. I can eat anything: pizza, bread, enchilada, bits of sweets and I don't dump.
I am starting to get concerned by doctor tells me my body will tell me when to stop. (tell you what my body is not talking) Sometimes, I think that I have eaten to much but, when I analyze what I ate for the day I am bearly eating anything.
Is anybody feeling this way? Also, my weightloss has slowed down. Will it stay slow like this or should I except a huge weighloss again?
Help me....

Hi my anniversary date is january 16, 108 lbs gone forever. I feel the same way too, like all the times before I'll start gaining again. I never thought I would see a size 8 again, but oh what fun a size 8 is!! Keep up the good work and enjoy!!

Congratulations to everyone for being so successful during their first year. My one year anniversary will be on January 29th and to date I have lost 149 lbs. I started at 368 and am down to 219. I have not felt so good in I can't remember when. I am running circles around my husband and he just shakes his head and is amazed at all my new found energy. It is so great to be able to live life again.
Good luck to all you losers and I hope we all have another successful year at losing.
