Hi All My weight loss journey started a year and a half ago. I had my surgery on Jan 3, 2012. I have lost over 110 pounds.. I went from January 2012 to mid December 2012 without one slip up, which I know is a great accomplishment. Sometime in mid December I started dabbling with sugar which has lead me to actually gaining back about 15 pounds. I have gotten myself back on track this past Monday and am feeling confident about losing my last 10 to 15 pounds. I continue to go to counseling and also see a health coach. I know everything I am feeling is in my head and I think that is called head hunger. I have to learn how to control that. I just want to know if anyone else out there feels like they have lost control and have been able to binge a bit. I know I cannot get in the same quantity of food as I used to be able to, but I can still binge on sweets such as Cookies and cakes and ice cream. Thank you to anyone who has any kind of feedback for me.

I want to thank all of you for all your great comments and advice. I had my first great eating weekend in months. I started going to the gym this past weekend. I feel like I am taking back my control in baby steps. It really helps when I know I can reach out to people who are going through the same issues as me and get some good advice. I am wishing all of you good luck and continued success in your individual journeys. Thank you again. I am glad I started coming to this site again after a long while. Speak too you all soon.

Hi My name is Jodi. I am three weeks post op and have not felt good since surgery. Is there anyone out there who feels really fatigued to the point of fainting in the morning getting ready for work. I went to the dr last week and they get more protein in your system. I am trying, but am having problems. Every time I think of food my stomach turns. I called the dr. again today and now I am going for blood work tomorrow to see what it could be. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem...Thank you for your time.

Hi Kimmy*custis Best of luck to you too. Thanks for replying. Jodi

Hi Christin Thanks for the website. I am going to go on it. As I told Vance, I got hydrated. I really think they sent me home from the hospital dehydrated since I have felt like that for 3 weeks. Thank god I feel like I am on the mend and beginning to feel good about my decision. Thanks again for all your help. Jodi

Hi Vance Sorry I have not gotten back to you. The reason I was having so much trouble is I was dehydrated. I went to the emergency room last Tuesday and they gave me IV. Ever since then, I have been feeling better. I actually found that Bariatric Choice has a hot chocolate I like so I have been drinking that. The hot coco has 15g of Protein each. Thank you for your response. Jodi

Thank you again. You have been a big help. I am going to look up where I can find Unjury. Thanks again

Thank you. Christin. What are you using for protein. I am trying to use the Isupur. I dont really like anything I have tasted. I am also having problems with burping. Most every sip I take I burp do you have that problem? I feel like a baby, I never ever complained before in my life....I am just scared I made a wrong decision. I guess when I feel better I will think differently.

Thank you for your reply. I will try vitamins. The dr. office told me to get vitamin b12.

Hi this is my first post....I too just finished my last weigh in with my doctor so the surgeons office said they will now submit to the insurance and I am anxiously awaiting approval also. I wish you luck.
