I haven't had any real problems since the surgery except that at about 10 months out, I started getting the foamies a lot more. I always struggled to get the water in, but it was getting harder and harder to get ANY water in at all, and although I felt fine when I ate, about 20 minutes later, I would start to get a general discomfort in my stomach. I contacted my surgeon's office thinking that I was starting with gall bladder problems. The PA suggested putting me on protonix for a potential ulcer. After taking the meds for one day, I felt 100% better. Apparently, I'm one of the few people who still produces a lot of stomach acid post-op. That's the only problem I have had since WLS - hope it stays that way.

Now that you may have lost all or most of your weight, if you see a before pic of yourself, what do you think about that person, and how is that person different from the thinner you?

What kind of activities are you doing now that you didn't do before WLS?

Curent weight: 195 Lost 2 lbs last week. Getting closer to my goal of 192.

ok, revising my post I made last night.....as of this morning I am 226.4...my LD goal is 220....I am crossing my fingers that the scale will keep moving and let me hit my goal for once....last couple of challenges I have missed out by couple lbs here or there....so I am hopeful I will actually make it! Yay! Suz
