very, very common to put on 10-20 lbs after hitting your lowest weight. It usually happens during year 2 or 3.

Alcohol does effect you much more extremely after surgery and you'll find lots of opinions that (and be sure to do your research on transfer addiction before you have any alcohol); nothing wrong with avoiding sugar, and you will want to very much if you dump or have reactive hypoglycemia. My bloodstream is at least 50% coffee though.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll have to read more about the regain phase.

Actually, at our class, they stated that we should be prepared to never have carbonation, fruit or sugar again. And Very rarely alcohol or caffeine. Mostly high protein with a small amount of vegetables and of course lots of water. So, it is interesting to see what's in your reply as well as the others. Thanks for the info.

once you're out a ways from surgery, nothing is off-limits. You'll likely be able to eat all those things again - although just occasionally and in smaller amounts.

I didn't go hogwild before my two-week pre-op diet, although we did go out a couple of times that week before so I could enjoy a couple of my favorite dishes that I knew I wouldn't be able to eat again for awhile. But I didn't go overboard. I was desperate to lose weight and had a lot to lose - and I was in the right mindset to do it.

Is there any doctors in the DFW that takes Amerigroup Medicaid for bariatric surgery?

Thanks for the reply. My head truly understands, but my nerves don't seem to. I think talking about it with people who DO understand is going to be the best thing. I will take your advice and look at food funeral posts. Thanks again!
