Magic Mountain verses self control and preopp diet
michelecaples replied to kat77's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes I know all about disability and pain. So glad you are motivated and not just sitting at home waiting to be thin to enjoy things like that with your daughter. I have missed out on too many things like that. -
Food stuck! Pain for over 8+ hours
michelecaples replied to catgirl12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah you got the food stuck alright! It is painful and just as you described! The bubbles are because your body is attempting to process it, but cant so mucus sputum forms all around it so you can sick it up. -

I think.it just takes time to undo the habits of a lifetime. Its okay to be upset. Your body will get used to it and once you are down and moving well, you will find new healthy habits to replace eating

Crystal Light Saved My Life
michelecaples replied to libra_lisa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
And that proves that we can absorb other than only citrate because tums arent. I think certain people dont absorb as well as others, thus making the docs recommend the citrate all the time in case. Im glad everyone is doing what works. Sometimes you have to figure that out on your own. -

Crystal Light Saved My Life
michelecaples replied to libra_lisa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It doesnt make the others unabsorbable. My doc approves them. Different strokes for different folks. My bottle says Calcium citrate. Maybe they have changed the formula since I bought mine or maybe there is more than one kind on the market. -

I know what you mean. It does get old when people complain about no weight loss when they have lost a lot, but are sabotaging with cakes and soda -

The ones I have are citrate. You are thinkg of a different brand. Caltrate is carbonate. Citrical is citrate. I know. Yes they have a but of sugar, but I also use the wellesse, but citrical gummues are citrate -
That always gives me a boost too. I can go 7 days,and bearly nibble then all of a sudden be able to eat one day and bam, the weight falls off
