Thank you Orchids I have been on the 3 different meds to control the ulcers and unfortunately they are not as successful as they need to be. I am 5'9 and 50 years old and have actually lost over 180 pounds and am still losing so it is not a good situation to be in. I am hopeful someone on this site may have been through this, I am a Consumer Loan Officer at a bank and it is very difficult coming to work and putting on a smile when you are nauseated after every meal you have eaten.

@Creekimp13 You do what you gotta do for you, but I for one can tell you that I truly enjoy your posts. They're informative, insightful, and sometimes brutally honest. A trait that can be thoroughly lacking sometimes. I can appreciate that your personal needs have changed and I will probably get there myself at one point. I wish you the best.

For urine testing, nicotine can be testable for 3-4 days typically. I'm seeing some research say it's testable for upwards of 20... You can speed that up with lots of water and exercise.

This is awesome my dude! Congratulations! I'm going in on July 16th and starting to get ancy... Nice to see my plan of changing my current cardio focus to more weight training post op is a good idea. Thanks much for sharing your amazing success! Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app

That’s amazing! All of you have lost a lot. I guess the important part is that the number on the scale keeps going down, not how fast it takes. Fingers crossed!!

I accept what you are saying, a lot of newbies and almosts, like me need your veteran consults but I respect your explaination and wish you whether you leave now, in a month, in 6 monthes, in a yeat, only you know when it is right for you. I wish you well for your future and anything else you endeavor to undertake.

I think that as you hit goal and focus on other things this journey becomes a less central part of your life and inevitably you talk / think / write about it less. That's why the forum is dominated with so many new folks. I'm already starting to notice that myself. Good luck with whatever you end up doing.

It would be a shame if you left, Creekimp. Your advice is usually spot on and everyone has to understand that we all have different docs, different meal plans, etc. You've said many times that there is more than one way to get there in the end.

Aw that's a shame you are leaving @Creekimp13. There are a lot of people who post who have had surgery in the last year or so, but the actual vets are few and far between. I hope you change your mind, or come back for visits. Glad to hear you are so close to goal.

I’m with you Creek.... likely end of Summer here too. I’m about 10-15 from goal though depending on what I decide my goal to be
