Thanks for the replies.  I think the gas thing goes without saying only being a "guy", it doesn't bother him!!!!  He has eliminated all of the whole wheat and grains for now and said that he hasn't been getting sick except when he eats too fast.  He is struggling with the carbs issue though.  He had a VERY easy 6 months, no problems at all so this is a surprise to us both that now things will happen. 
I am learning alot and am submitting my info to insurance company this week, so God willing I will get approved and can talk to you all for myself.

 

I'm doing great with my pregnancy I'm not 6 1/2 months along and the baby is doing great my weight loss has slowed down a little bit now but I'm still loosing I'm now 293 lbs so that means I'm 127lbs lost and man do I feel great about everything now!!

I had my surgery on 2/21/08 so I am a little over 7 months out and I have lost 90 lbs so far.  I am very pleased with my loss.  It's coming off slower, but at least it's still coming off.  2-3 lbs here and there.  It adds  up.  And at least the number is going DOWN! not up like it used to.  I am now wearing (comfortably) a size 14 and hoping to be in a 12 by Thanksgiving.  I love shopping now whereas I used to hate it.  Nothing fit right, nor did I look good in it.  I have more energy and stamina.  No more ankle and knee pains.

How's everyone else doing?

I find that I do get cold also, my feet especially wear socks and making sure if it is cool no more sandles.   It never bothered me before but it does now.   Maybe I lost a 100 lbs blanket also!

I can't tolerate rice or bread.  Maybe one or two nibbles and that's it.  Rice and pasta expands once it gets inside you which sometimes causes problems.  I can eat small amounts of pasta. I, too was a carb-aholic prior to surgery and though I still ocassionally crave my carbs, I do okay without them.  I do miss eating bread, especially since my husband likes some type of bread or roll with his meals.  You are sooo right about aversion therapy.  Once you get sick a couple of times, you no longer want it.
