i haven’t read the book so I can’t comment on it. I’ve been pretty much a vegan since before my GBS. I get blood work every six months and every time my test have been good. It’s been over three years since my surgery and I take no medication. I always take my vitamins and administer a B-12 shot once a month. Best of luck in ya'll journey.

Yes mrsroyale there’s a lot of us out here. In BariaticPal, I recommend you go to the forum, Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Groups, General Weight Loss Surgery Forums, Vegetarian or Vegan Eating. Good luck in your journey.

I had RNY done Aug 2014. I'm 63 yrs old and have no problems with my teeth. I have arthritis but that's because of my age. I take 500 mg of calcium three times a day as per my doctor and all is well.

I have it and yes you just have to watch what you eat.

Hey guys, It's now to late for me because I'm now an alcoholic. Just to let you know it's intoxicatingly easy to fall into it if you go that way. You really don't want to do this. I've read that a GBP patient can easily fall into it but I ignored it. Now I have to figure out how to fix it. No need to preach because I'm not ready for that. I just wanted to let you know for me it was way to easy to fall into this.

I didn't. I do a lot of bean meals that I love and have had blood work every six months. Blood results still looking good and I feel great.

Here's a link to help you get started but there's much more. Just look it up on the web. http://www.onegreenplanet.org/natural-health/soy-free-vegan-foods-that-have-more-protein-than-beef/ Vegans eating varied diets containing vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds rarely have any difficulty getting enough protein as long as their diet contains enough energy (calories) to maintain weight. Only vitamin B12 will have to be supplemented. Good luck in your journey.

I strived to go total vegan after my RNY but it took awhile to do it because of outside influences. I'm now thankfully a complete vegan. My PCP does my blood work every 6 months and I do my own injections of B12 once a month. Just so everyone knows, I feel great about it.

You go texasbrit10. I grew up in Fort Worth. I'm still a newbie at around under two years with my RNY. You'll love your journey to a better life.

Yes, that's happened to me too. I found myself drinking like a fish and had to stop before it got away from me.

An interesting read. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/11/151119133234.htm

You've asked a good question. You should remember we're all different. For just me, I'm now over a year with my GBS. I eat everything I want to eat. But I've already made my life change and decided to eat smartly. Sure I've cheated, most of us will. Because of my body's reaction to the surgery I suffer from hypoglycemia, so I have a different way of dealing with our life change. Like I said I eat everything I want but I hurt inside when I do stupid things. It helps me, but I know if I didn't stay active I would of already gained most of my weight back. My advice to you is enjoy your new self and sample the decadent pleasures but remember you will have to pay the price. Work out and figure out what you have to do to maintain or continue to loose. Good luck and remember what you went through to get this far.

No offense Cheri J. You've deleted your commit. I see so many struggling to try and find a way to get the surgery done that I reacted negatively. Congratulations on your surgery, stay focused on your goal and best of luck.

I think you shouldn't brag about your fortune.
