Very sorry your going thru this. It makes me nervous re the surgery. I am 9 months out and although I am not vomiting, I can still only eat about as much as I did at 5-6 months. Very little. I went from 216 to 131 and keep losing. I can't maintain at all. I look very thin and sickly. I haven't got any help from my nutritionist either. I have called my surgeons office and no one has called me back. I am glad to hear that your going to see a specialist. I am looking into getting a new nutritionist myself. Good Luck

I eat 5-6 times a day. I write down everything I eat. I only eat things that have protein in them. If I eat fruit, I pair it with nuts. Keep sticking with the plan and it will work. Everyone plateaus at some point, I did a few times.

It happens to everyone. Just stick with the plan and before you know it the weight will start dropping again.

I wouldn't try anything fried. I am 9 months out and stay away from fried foods. They are not good for you.

My doc told us we could never use them. I am 9 months post op and still have not tried to use one.

Ate my 1st one about 6-7 months post op and had no issues. I wasn't really a fan prior to surgery. Now I love them and eat them at least once a week. I can only eat one spear and then I am full.

Just focus on one day at a time. Remember that everyone is different and loses at a different pace. The advice on here is excellent, but you can not compare yourself to others. Always check with your docs office if your unsure about anything. Protein is always comes first with your food/meals. If you follow the plan you will succeed.

I was also a diabetic (14 yrs.) prior to surgery. I never had a problem with any artificial sweeteners. Now post surgery I am having a big problem. I can't eat anything with Maltitol in it. Whatever is in Crystal Lite also is bothersome. I wonder if being a prior diabetic has anything to do with it.

How much did you originally lose when you had the bypass? I am very curious to your story. I am 9 months out and am now "too skinny". I can't maintain and keep losing. I look sickly. Did this happen to you? A lot of people say that in year 2 I should start to gain weight again. Is this true?

I can not eat anything with Maltitol in it. It makes me bloated, cramps, and diarrhea really bad. I tried Stevia and don't like it at all. I also can't drink Crystal Lite. Whatever is in it makes me feel sick. I was never this way before the bypass. Now I find I am very sensitive to a lot of things.

TY all for the suggestions. I recently tried the Atkins Protein Bar chocolate peanut butter. I love it and it hasn't made me have a belly ache. I don't eat them every day. Just a few times a week and so far so good.

I am 9 months out and have gone from 216 to 131 and still have a huge belly with a lot of fat. I noticed it in recent pics that I have rolls still? How can this be if I only weigh 131 lbs.? I don't get it. I am so skinny everywhere else. How do I get rid of this belly without having plastic surgery?

I just followed the program like they told me to. TY If you follow what your supposed to do it is very easy.

Is anyone else experiencing weird goings on with this site? Last week while I was on here, my user name changed to Alex Beecher and I could see all of his info such as address, phone number, and his ordering history. I contacted the customer service and they helped me fix it. I had to clear my cache and do some other stuff, but it worked. Now today as I was on here, my points were 903 and when my page refreshed it was down to 863. I contacted customer service once again and this time they could not help me? I am not happy that I lost my points because I order from their store, and use the discount. I changed my password and it didn't do anything. I did a review of one of their products (40 points) and it didn't change my points? You have to verify thru your email and I did that, and still nothing. I contacted customer service again and they can not help me? What the hell is going on? Do I have a virus in my computer? Wouldn't it be affecting other websites as well? I don't know anything about computers. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Ok I did send a message to whoever where it says contact us. Not sure if anyone will get it. I had sent a message before for something else and never got a response.

Thank you very much for that info.

TY for this info. This happened to my dad who had the surgery 5 yrs. ago. He men tined it to me but I thought he was crazy. I will call the doctor.

OK thanks. Why do you say tidy up? Is it happening to you too?

How would I go about that?

What is SX? LOL

I don't drink anything other than water. Tea or protein cocoa in the wintertime on occasion. I do not drink alcohol at all. I have not tried Lactaid pills. I may have to try that. Bada beans sound awesome. Where do you get them? I never heard of them. Funny thing is that this nutritionist is from my bariatric surgeons office. TY

I always wondered about the purple mattress.

LOL thanks for the info.

Thanks for the advice. I am def going to call them tomorrow. She really made me mad today.

I thought I had to only use her because of the affiliation and insurance. I didn't know I had a choice.
