This is supported by other threads here but so well said. Basically it says, your gut microbes control your hunger for their own good, but not necessarily yours.

I don't remember if I needed to join this free medical research site or not to see this file... I love this site and get lots of interesting research results from several areas of interest.. including weight gain and WL surgery....

Medscape is a pretty good resource. They have one on there by David Johnson, a GI, about how he treats after surgery bariatric patients.

When I clicked the link it asked for a password. I've been drinking Kombacha--tastes a little like vinegar but I don't mind the flavor. Since I started drinking 1/2 a bottle a day my Constipation has been gone and I feel like my mood is better. Maybe that's psychosomatic--I don't know.

Blessings,

Kathleen

Fermented foods are supposed to be really good for the "biome" pickles, sauerkraut, vinegar, and lot of different fibers. I have found a bottled fruit, chia Kombucha drink at Whole Foods, when I have the $$$ I buy couple of bottles. Its really yummy.

You may have to join the site, and form a password. It is really easy to use now, they send me a link every week to topics of interest to me. I don't have to sign in... I must have checked off to stay signed in.

I registered with the site and the article IS fascinating. I know at the height of my food addiction to carbohydrates, I felt more depressed. Cutting them out of my diet seemed to lessen my depression. I experienced that pre-WLS when I attempted the Atkins Diet. I sent the article to several friends who know of my WLS and are in the medical field or collegues.

I'm going to definitely look into this more. For the past maybe 3 weeks my appetite has been raging. I've felt possessed. I mostly deny these cravings, and I'm not so fun to be around. The hunger pangs are painful.

My husband thinks it's because I've increased my workout routines and started jogging daily. I'm thinking now gut bacteria could be playing a large part. I don't know the first thing about creating a symbiotic gut environment..

I think this may be the same article, from a site that doesn't require a password. It's a PDF, 414 kb.

FYE, please confirm it's the same article.

Great reading. I'm definitely keeping the daily Greek yogurt and I'll be adding some pickled foods.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
