Several BAF vets used supplements a few years post op to help with maintenance or regain. I also have rny friends irl who take amphetamines for appetite control as needed. Some BAF'ers used prescriptions such as amphetamines and vitamin injections. Others used supplements like 5htp. I haven't heard complaints about side effects etc.
This site, http://www.antiaging-systems.com, has a good rundown on supplements they sell for weight control. What works and what does not I could not say. I've ordered from them for years and many products relate to hormone control. I suggest thorough independent research before trying any of these. Some may not be right for your particular health conditions. Good luck.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
I deleted my account a while ago and so much has happened since then. I used to visit this forum a lot and then LIFE kicked in. Ok so I was sleeved December 8, 2011 and all was well, until I got sick in January 2012. I went to several doctors and not one could tell me what was wrong. I told them I had just gotten the gastric sleeve done...nothing!!
Fast forward to the end of January and I had to make my PCP see me and when he did we found out my gallbladder was only working at 7%!!! I was so pissed! And the surgery had to be emergency because while all that was going on I had to be hospitalized for a really bad UTI because I couldn't eat or drink. I had my gallbladder removed on February 2 and that is when more drama started. A few days after I got home I noticed that I was numb in my stomach , my legs, vaginal, and thigh area.
I told the surgeon and he said it was probably a nerve that was cut...WTH!! To make a long story short...I was partially paralyzed from February to August from a stroke in my spinal cord. After several MRI's they finally found it in December 2012.
I feel horrible because although I have lost a lot of weight, I started back eating stuff that got me to 412. Sitting in the bed everyday took a toll on me and now I'm trying to get ME back. I will be starting therapy soon for the numbness and I'm praying that I can finally get back on track. Thanks for reading, Jessica

Hi Wendy, Yeah the board died a few years back because of facebook. Everyone moved over to facebook, that is where I mostly post now because I get more support from all the oldies and newies but I still come over here to see my girl Marcia and to encourgea the new people that need help.
Also, use a protein based, sulfate free shampoo. Good ones to try are Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Shampoo, Elasta QP Creme Conditioning Shampoo, or Revlon's Creme of Nature Moisture & Shine Shampoo with Argan Oil.
I'm sure there are tons on the market but these all worked well for me, along with the Biotin and protein intake of at least 1/2 my body weight.
Hey lady, Yes you are so right! I am going to post more often as well. I remember like it was months ago... when I was a newbie...now it has been 5 years... smh. Time went fast. Still enjoying my new life... Things are well. I was just looking at post op pictures....
Yes, BAF was very active back in the day and I, myself am guilty for migrating over to the FB BAF site. However, this is where it all started for me. As a pre-op and newbie, I received a wealth of information from this site, made great friends and I aim to post more to hopefully serve as a resource to others going through the journey.
Happy New Year!

Becca and I have been eating a ton of vegetables and very little meat, she is trying to make me a vegetarian and I am not liking it but I figure nothing else seems to really work for me why not try it. Stuff that does work only works for a short time and then make me fatter.
No resolutions for me this year because they are a joke in my life, back in the gym getting it done and trying to lose some weight before my summer trip.
I am so sick and tired of the broken record that says the same thing over and over.
