Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anyone has experienced this?

I read somewhere that the gherlin that makes us hungry also helps with our memory. So when we lose the gherlin, we might lose some of our memory. I'm not sure where I found the article. It might be worth googling gherlin and memory.

I read that it was because of Vitamin deficiency. As long as we take our Vitamin meds regularly, I dont think it would be a problem. But I'm going to ask my doc about this during my next visit. I'm scared now! :(

The question was for preop people of three years or more and if they have noticed any memory changes...since grehlin is very linked to memory....the surgery gets rid of the biggest grehlin producer of the body so i imagine that would be tied to memory loss.

But I think if we keep our Vitamin levels in check, everything will balance out...

Read the research and statistics section on this site. There is a year and a half old link called gherlin and learning. It should answer all your questions.

How did you get the weight ticker on the bottom? I have looked through my account settings & can't find it.

You go to tickerfactory.com and build a ticker. Then go to settings; signature and copy the line from tickerfactory.com that says bbcode into your signature. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
