OK that sounds better. All the info I've read said 80-100. Which didn't seem right to me since that's what I was told with my sleeve. Has that amount kept your lab Lvls good?

Yes.

And it permits me to eat constantly. I generally eat Protein every couple of hours. Sometimes at 3AM, too, if I'm hungry.

I had a Traditional DS but my surgeons left the length of a modified, about 9 ft. I have pretty regular morning bowel movements. I take a tablespoon of castor oil if my eating has been on point, so it moves easily. If I have sugar, i do get faul gas and an oil slick loose bm...so, I don't do it often and know I'll be home, alone, near the bathroom. Never trusting a fart. I usually always have one premier Protein shake 28g or a myprotein 30g chocolate cookie. I aim for 80g a day in diet, so I probably get 110 a day. My 3 month labs were perfect.

Ty for the reply. How has your weight loss been with the modified DS length?

Great! 219 lbs, day of surgery- 11/7/16,, today, 3/6/17, 16 weeks later 173lbs. My goal, at 5'7", is 150-155lbs, so about 20 more to go!

Not to be a downer, at all. Just remember he's a man. Their loss rate/amount is often different than ours.

LOL, no worries, I have no disillusions about losing that fast. I'm a slow loser anyways. Thanks for the warning tho.
