I went to the doc today. GOOD.. no GREAT news I don't have an eating disorder.. whoooo hoooo!!! Most Bypass patients can't eat all the calories.. by the way did you know we are suppose to be doing at least 1000 calories a day? My symptoms are totally normal however I do need to eat more. Stop the fat free ... low fat... ETC stuff that's hurting me. I need to just focus on eating regular stuff.. since it is not a lot at one time then it will not hurt me. After my pouch stretches out a little then I can cut down on the fats. Also, I am drinking with my meals.. because things get stuck all the time. I got to stop that because that is empting my pouch to fast and my calories are not absorbed. Because I have no sensations in my pouch or stomach to eat anymore.. I have to set alarms to make me remember to eat. I am doing the happy dance over here! I am just low in iron thats why I am tired all the time, and why aunt flow stopped visting. HUGS to you who were concerned! Valarie

Glad to hear your appointment went well. Hoping you follow the doctor's instructions, and I bet adding some iron to your vitamin supplements and you will feel alot better!! Take care. Sherri

YAY that is great news Valarie! I'm so glad you went and let us know about the appointment, because you have been on my mind alot the past few days. What a relief that it is something easily remedied, huh? Now listen to your doctor and big sis Donna over here and eat all your meals and take all your vitamins! (hugs) Donna
