Hello...
I've been gone from the site for almost 2 years and decided to come back and hope I can reconnect with a few friends and maybe gain a few new ones. My surgery birthday was just June 2. I'm 5 years out and I'm still feeling great. This surgery is a tool and I'm working mines to the max.
Yes there was times I didn't want to go to the gym, but I kept pushing. I allow myself a 15 pound gain between the off seasons (October to January) I hate going to the gym in storms and real cold weather. My current weight is 230 rite now. I'm looking to bring that down to 215 before the off season comes around.
The struggle is real with food still. I'm a junk food junkie as they call them. LOL. I love me some cake and candies and I don't dump but I do get tired if I eat to many sweets. I'm loving this thing called life. I'm not letting the surgery live me, I'm living the surgery. Please feel free to check out my profile and pictures. I'm looking forward to hear from you guys soon.
Thanks for your prayers of support.

In 4 days it will be 3 months since my revision. I am down 34 pounds and damit I want it to be more. I am starting to get a bit discouraged because it feels like I may be a two time loser, or should I say NON LOSER. I am trying to keep positive and listen to those who say don't worry it will happen, but aren't those the same people who said those exact same words when I had my RNY, why yes they are, so I would say they don't have a clue of what they are talking about. TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE BUT LOSING FAITH.
Hi Vickie. I hope that are feeling better. I'm not nearly as far out pot-op as you, I'm just about 4 years now. But in reading your post several thoughts and questions came to mind.
I've not heard of this product before. I'm not clear from your post either what it is that it supposed to offer you. Some of my questions would be ................What is the nutritional value of this product? Has it been approved for bariatric patients use? How much of this will you be able to absorb? If you are not absorbing nutrients from your meals you're consuming now, how will this product help you consume what nutrients it claims to offer? More importantly, is this product FDA approved? That would be a real RED FLAG for me if it was not!
You didn't provide any information about your current program and care. Have your physicians prescribed a meal plan for you to address the "nutritional deficiencies", and have you followed it? Do you take vits regularly, or get your daily protein in? And equally as important, have you incorporated a regular and daily physical routine into your program?
We all are fighting this never ending battle with weight and the health issue that comes with obesity. If accountability is what we seek, then we have to take a real look at our intake and our everyday routines and habits and start there. In a lot of instances, therein is where we find the answers to our predicaments. I know I did!
Just my 1/2 cents worth!
Keep it moving!!
