Totally rude!! That is the exact reason I have really told no one!! My mother, my husband and like 4 people know!! and those 6 people would never drop a BS bomb like that!! when people say wow you look great i say thanks, and leave it alone, if they ask how i did it i just tell them i upped my protein and lowered my sugar and carb intake and exercise!! I never want to be introduced as Hey this is melissa and she is smokin hot but only cause she has WLS!!! No thanks!!

Heather,

I know several on this forum did the pouch test and it worked for them.  I'm about to try it myself as I've put on a few pounds during vacation.  Italian food and protein diet don't exactly go together at all!  I'm back on my protein shakes for breakfast and in the afternoon and it's helping.

Good luck!

Hey girlie.. if you check your bariatric Doc's desk there should be a display with  some supplements called BB vitamins.. most offices will  have a test pack.. but anyways I take this citrate supplement that tastes like fruit juice in a liquid packet.. tastes good.. two packets a day give you 1200 grams calcium and 900 grams vitamin D.. they are medium pricey depending on the moth supply you choose can get a package deal.. BUT ITS WORTH it... I luv taking my vitamins now.. just click on link above.. They work all my test results except for my IRON.. because i tried to be cheap and us WALMART brand which do not work for me period.. but the but all other vitamins I take for BB worked good and the test results say so ( vitamin, E, D, A&D, calcium, and B-12, B sublingual)ALSO TRY BARIATRIC CHOICE

have a nice day

LOL......HEY BUT YOU NEVER KNOW... YOU SOON CAN...the other lady on JULY board told me about  Spanx.. I think I'm spelling it wrong.. but honey you look fabulous when you put one underneath your clothes.. also Bryant has a version they sell goes from size small to XXL.

Hey gang!  So I've been super busy with life and the new job......and the old job......and getting my youngest her autism diagnosis.....and dealing with my 13 year old who is having some serious psych issues......ex bf's who all of a sudden want me back......I'm smoking like a chimney.....eatin like a fat girl.....and drinkin like a fish! 

I need some help with motivation because if I don't do something soon I'm gonna mess everything I've worked for up!  I'm only 10.5 months out and I've changed my goal back to 150 since I have been yoyoing between 150 and 160 for the last 4 months.  Thankfully I've managed to maintain mostly below 155 for the last 2 months.  I love where I'm at weight wise and was only aiming for 140 because I wanted the cushion.  My problem is the choices I'm making with food.  I've been overeating lately because everything tastes so good and I don't know when I'll beable to eat again with the schedule I'm keeping...last week I worked 70 hours!  I'm considering doing the 5 day pouch test......has anyone ever tried it and how helpful was it?
