Thanks Tammy,



I have calmed down now some.



Even though I still don't eat alot of food, but of what I do eat I besure that it is good protein. I take my vitamins everyday and keep my appts with my surgeon, I think I may get on his nerve soemtimes, but I just like to be sure that I am doing the correct thing.



My last appt. showed everything was good except my vitamin D was low. So I take a vitamin D supplement once a week.

Read the message that I sent to you about the protein pudding and your meals. It is under Courtney's name. I goofed.

You have been so successful. and here I sit still trying to reach my goal. I have reviewed your menu and see that you normally have 1 meal a day. This has worked for you, how long have you been doing this? Where do you purchase the protein pudding and does it gives you the satiety that we all are forever seeking? Your response will help a great deal.

I am happy to report that the information your coworker shared is FALSE!!!!!  My cousin and my aunt are both over 20 years post op and I know tons of people over 15 years post op and they are doing wonderful.  It is important to have your yearly checkups with your surgeon (for life, not just until you reach goal) and it is important to take your vitamins and have your blood checked.  If you want to be successful then you have to make a life change forever.

Hello All
I hope everyone is doing well. Happy Belated Valentine's Day

This morning I was talking to a coworker and another coworker walked up to us and started telling us about a friend of hers that had passed away. She went on to say that her friend had the gastric bypass surgery about 6 years ago and at how the surgery is so bad for people. I didn't say anything I just listened to her, I don't share my personal business with her because she is one of the office gossips. As a matter of fact I haven't shared it with any of my coworkers. I keep personal business just that personal.

But she went on to say that the life span for people who have the surgery is 10 to 12 years after the surgery. I don't believe that. She went to say how she has done exstensive research on this surgery and most people die after 10 to 12 years because of malnutrition.

I am too upset to even research because I don't want to even think that it could be half true. Have any of you heard this before. Are there any long timers out there that can ease my nerves on this.

I am only 42 and I would hate to think that I had this surgery to help stick around longer to see my grands and only to find out that it may help to shorten it.
