Hi folks, A couple 3 months ago there was a question on wether WLS folks could go into the starvation mode because of our malabsortion issues.  One of the nutritionists was going to look into this but I haven't seen anything more on it and unfortunately it is difficult to search a particular board for a specific (or else I am not doing it right )   Anyway, I was wondering if the information was available yet.  It does interest me greatly. Thank you all for the excellent info from both the nutritionists and posters!

I would like to hear the response to this question, too. To me it seems logical that the body would go into starvation mode, but how do we "get around" it? Curious minds want to know, hehe :) Nancy
