I am 7 mths out, down over 110 lbs and of course, like most started losing hair at about 4 mths out. A few months ago I was introduced to Moringa. Moringa Oleifera is a tree that grows in countries like India, Philippines, and a few others. It's been known to treat and prevent over 300 diseases, has been used for nourishment for malnourished children and nursing mothers in countries where it is an epidemic, and it's of course all natural. It has 25 times more Iron than spinach, 4 times more Protein than in eggs, 10 times more viamin A than in carrots, 17 times more Calcium than in milk, 15 times more potassium than in bananas, 7 times the Vitamin C in oranges, 2 times the protein in milk, and that just touches the surface. It's known as the most nutrient rich plant on earth. In addition, it is 100% bioavailablity which means that it's 100% absorbable unlike the Vitamins we take in a tablet or capsule that are only 8-10% absorbable. Since taking Moringa, which by the way is a mix that you mix with Water, I am no longer losing hair and am no longer on any of my my 19 medications or vitamins. I only take Moringa. I had labs done a few weeks ago to check cardiac, thyroid, and arthritic labs and they were all better than perfect, even better than they were when I was on the meds. Don't take my word for it, do the research, but it is absolutely amazing. I'm saving over $300 a month now on medications and vitamins since I'm no longer having to take them and I feel soooo much better off my meds. In addition to Moringa being a benefit to weight loss patients like us, it has other benefits like skin health, anti-aging, wound/scar healing, and much more. I just want this support group to know about it because I know it is something we all as weight loss patients will benefit from. There are a lot of awesome articles and videos to see. Natural News has some good articles and The Discovery Channel did a documentary that is available on YouTube. There is a Facebook page, Moringa's Ninety Nutrients that has lots of the research and if you send a message saying your a bariatric patient will give it to you at wholesale. Just trying to spread the word, especially since talking to a bariatric patient the other day who is in renal failure and has a full set of dentures from malnourishment after bariatric surgery. It's so sad and none of us want to end up that way.

Yes, if your just mixing the powder, it's disgusting. Zija has 3 different kinds and all have a different taste. I prefer the taste of XM+, however, I take SuperMix which is the worst out of the 3 in my opinion (however, the best product imo) I add organic pineapple juice to it so I can't taste it and it actually is a good mix for it. :) If I run out of juice, I take the XM+ with just Water, that one is good.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
