I have not been on here for several years. I apologize if this is the wrong spot. I had sleeve 5 years ago and lost 40 lbs. I started at 224. I am currently 212 and have gained 13 pounds since late October. I think I know the answers but looking for help and tips. How do I lose again?

I never did get nauseous. No food makes me feel bad. I wish it did. -

I ran across this article today. I was interested because I had my endoscopy at Forest Park, but my surgery was moved from there. Thank goodness my doctor was not named in the article!!! A doctor I see on this site is name, however. http://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2017/02/forest-park-co-founder-richard-toussaint-pleads-guilty-and-airs-out-his-partners/

Iron deficiency a year after gastric sleeve
rking replied to wingedtamila's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just curious.. was your sister on multivitamin with iron after surgery? I guess I'm just wondering if I should start some iron now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using the BariatricPal App I do not iknow if she was. I think so, but just dont remember. YOU need to get on them now if you are not already!!!! I get mine from a a company that has prescription B12 nose spray, and it is done weekly. They give you a multi Vitamin, calcium/D Vitamins with it. It costs $25 a month and they are excellent vitamins. You can get pills or chewable. You can google Nascobal. That is the nose spray. I started my vitamin regimen before I even had surgery. -
I'm in Midland too...sleeved 1/13/16 I just now read this!!!!! HAHA how many years later??? You have just hit your 1 year mark. How are you? Who did your surgery?

Iron deficiency a year after gastric sleeve
rking replied to wingedtamila's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
oh my gosh. it was horrible. as a matter of fact, her bloodwork is all good now and she is still extremely fatigued. infusions were about 8 months ago. now she has headaches every day. we dont really think it has anything to do with her Iron or surgery now, we just dont have a clue what is causing all this. -

Antidepressants in the first few days
rking replied to Trancendence's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i take a pill daily that if not taken makes me sick!!!!!!!!! the withdrawal effect is awful. i was allowed to crush my pill and take it so i never missed a dose. i will say i could only handle the crushed pills about a week; the taste is awful. i, then, started taking them whole and had no issue. they were not huge. -

7 days out...struggling with protein
rking replied to afriendnwv's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is very normal. I started with 30 g of protein then gradually went up. 100 daily now. Just stay hydrated and get as much protein as you can but know it is not anywhere close to your top amount. -
Been away a good while...feels good to be back.
