Thanks Mag... Enjoy your vacation.

I'm looking for anyone's recommendation for ADEK supplements.  I've tried Bariatric Advantage (yuk!), and Celebrate (good, tart ).  Can anyone tell me what else they've tried and their feedback on them?

Thanks!

I am 5 weeks post op and had a stall in weight loss at 2 weeks and lasted 2 weeks....now I have lost 11 more lbs... Yea no more 220's I am now 216 and need a belt

Its been a while since I posted.. Have lost track of alot of things along with friends.... for this I am sorry and I will try to do my part when I can but for now I must work on myself, I am over tired under paid.. (what pay????) full time slave to food... grown kids and even to myself.... I never thought I would ever have a problem with losing to much weight.... but wow am I I am slowing getting back to where I need to be but it been a battle.. first was to fight with my Dr about lowering my thyroid pill and I won that one started out at 200 MCG then last year went to 100 MCG now yay me down to 50 mcg's maybe just maybe the Dr was wrong and I am right ( I know I am!) its been a week and I put on another pound and that's with 2000 cals a day... I really hate eating its become a chore so as soon as I hit 145 my nut said I can go to 1500 cals yay me! As for family life ... well it has its ups and downs with my kids... my youngest daughter is now 23 weeks pregnant her and her boyfriend are doing OK for the most part but he is having a very hard time with the fact my daughter is hormonal and she has cancer and chose to have the baby first then have treatment after.... and so far the cancer is still a stage one so the OB Oncologist says it is very safe for her to have the baby "THANK GOD!" and to my other daughter well lets just say she has to hit a rock bottom because I am done with watching her destroy her self and her life...and last of all my parents... well the state took over there care and its all my fault" YAY!" and yes I am happy about that.... they were nuts ... crazy and needed help..... On the good side of things I am very thankful my husband Steve has been amazing through all this and I am thankful he is my best friend... Now i know he will never read that but but it felt good to write it.
Well I am almost writing a book at this rate but I did want to thank everyone for being on this site and I hope that life is treating you well and with all the bumps in the road you pass that you will take it like a grain of salt and toss it over your shoulder and keep going.. the journey we all must travel is worth wild no matter how bumpy or smooth it might be.

Hugs to all, Lisa

I am 5 weeks out and the first 3 weeks were like hell with the head hunger... what helps me is that I never tell myself I CAN NEVER have it again, if I am dying and I have to have a bite... I will have a bite but after I get my protein in.  And sometimes I am just to full to take that bite and I tell myself I will have it next time... keeps me sane.  I have no control if I feel like I don't have a choice and that I am never allowed to have this or that food again.  I tell myself moderation and health... if I am taking care of my protein and water and vitamins, I give myself permission to have a bite

Good Luck and therapist really helps me deal with the head thing too..
