DEAR MODS
I want to post on B&V but I am STILL being moderated since Dec 18th. W T H? I miss posting on OH but if you all want me to just go away, you got it, you win, I will leave now. Give yourself a big pat on the back for chasing away a once active contributor. This **** has gone way past abusive to me personally and I can't take this any more.

Are you kidding me? FUCK OH! I wonder if their advertisers would like to know about this.

yup, apparently what is discussed in private groups on Facebook gets you banned. OOOO and don't say anything in your Private Messages you don't want the OH staff talking about on their Facebook pages. Your messages aren't private... Topic: RE: If we can only absorb (aprox) 30 grams of protein...
I try to graze but often time I fail miserably from my attempts. I'm in the habit of drinking 100g of protein coffees (about 44oz total with half/half) between 6-10am. Caffeine is a great motivator for me to get the protein in plus I actually enjoy it. :)

Topic: RE: Hindsight is 20/20. Would you choose DS over another surgery again?
Vita D deficiency is very common and can almost always be corrected with high doses and a little sunshine.
Iron deficiency is also very common in women, anyway. I have always been iron deficient. After surgery I had a simple iron transfusion and my labs have not only been normal but I no longer have to take a daily supplement! win/win!
It is easy to deal with both these issues before having surgery.
I am 16 months out and I'm loving my DS!!!!!

Topic: RE: What does protein malnutrition feel like?
Exactly, I completely agree. I have had minimal gas during the past few weeks but it was still suggested by someone that (even though I haven't taken any antibiotics since my surgery 16 months ago) that upping my probiotics and fiber would be a better defense than seeking medical treatment.
It is far wiser to tell a person to SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT immediately if preventative and conservative measures have ALREADY truly failed, as one might fall into the slippery slope of malnutrition. Can't the Dr. take her own conservative measures before administering an antibiotic by some test, culture or viewing it under a microscope?
This rant of mine is not directed to you Kirmy, I hope you know that. It's the entire antibiotic conversation. But after what I've been going through and now reading your story, I see no need for anyone to rest on their laurels and pretend this isn't happening or that yogurt, probiotics and penance will fix it, after the fact. There are antibiotics out there to help, real modern medicine, and there's no reason for me to go 18 days with the ****s before seeking it.
Sorry, I'm extra ******g pissy because I have fire shooting from my asshole.

Topic: RE: What does protein malnutrition feel like?
It didn't matter that I was eating 100grams of protein, it was running out of me because of my bacterial overgrowth. I got pimples around my jaw line and cracked lips, my gums turned pale and I had heart palpatations every now and then. I should have known straight away what it was but my labs were excellent....and it was only 2 weeks of the skitters. Surely it takes longer than that.......
I guess not. I was very surprised to realise how many of the posters on my protein powder thread had suffered malnutrition. So for the newbies and the idiots like me who are too smart to ever have this happen to them.... What is your story? Holy **** this is what I'm going through right now. I was avoiding the fact that I indeed do have bacterial overgrowth because of other people's opinions of using Flagyl. Why do I give the time of day to such pious anti-antibiotic **** heads? I say that needing to rid myself of constant, chronic diarrhea is not a ******g vanity issue so shut the **** up. And I don't want to hear anymore talk from anyone who cries 'abuse'. The number of people on OH that are Flagyl abusers are miniscule. And those whom consume fishzole are just plain, flat out, ******g idiots.
I'm not certain that I am showing any visible signs of protein malnutrition yet, but I have let this carry on for almost 3 weeks now and I KNOW that I am dehydrated. My body has been lusting for protein. I've upped to 100g in whey isolate and another 60-100+ per day in meat. A couple days I tried stuffing myself with complex carbs too in hopes of clogging up the pipes a bit (a very easy thing to do during Thanksgiving). It didn't help and I lost 5 pounds this past week during Thanksgiving and now sport a lovely hemorrhoid.
I have also been dealing with insatiable bouts of hunger, even after JUST eating. What is up with that? I'm not sure if it's related but it is very annoying.
Headed to the Dr. this morning and demanding Flagyl, labs, and something to ease my poor ass.
and that's my story :)

I got sick. I mean two weeks of massive diahorrea and lost about 7lbs off my scrawny frame. I was tired but couldn't sleep soundly. Tried to study but my mind kept wandering, I'd just zone out and stare vaguely into space like weird little micro sleeps. Oh and I felt really anxious as if my adrenal gland was working over time. I didn't know it at the time but I think I could have been suffering from the early onset of malnutrition.

Topic: RE: Depression triggered by sudden, rapid wt loss?
Not really, other than acknowledging it for what it is, know that it will pass, give yourself a break and know that when your period starts the natural release of progesterone will make you feel a ton better. I am PMSing and I've dropped over 5 pounds this week. I have other aggravating factors involved BUT if I do drop any weight the most is lost usually just before I have my period. ~GG
Topic: RE: Depression triggered by sudden, rapid wt loss?
Yep. Going through it right now in fact. ~GG
Topic: RE: Dr. Ranjan Sudan @ Duke

The very best of luck to you in the new year!

I have a little Biffy bidet that I love, but this sounds awesome! (BTW newbies, my bidet is my #1 post op lifesaver. Don't know what I'd do without it!)

Topic: RE: My malnutrition and my life this past month...seeking support
So sorry to hear of the passing of your father and for all the hell you have been through in the last few weeks. This has been an hard series of events in your life condensed in such a short time span. I think you're doing the best thing for your self right now... taking back control of your health! You know the drill, protein, water, vites... get your labs checked if needed. My advice is to get out for some fresh air and some sun on your face.
Remember to breathe.

Topic: RE: $5,000 later ......I AM committed to this :)
YaY! I have the same type of insurance. It's worth it! especially when you start seeing the bills roll in and how pricey it would have been if you paid out of pocket. Get your surgery as early in the year as possible to take advantage of 100% coverage for the remainder of the year

Topic: RE: Suggestions on good, CHEAP unflavored protein?
I use NOW brand unflavored protein. I buy it in 10lb bags and surprisingly have been through quite a few of them since surgery. Only order it online as in stores they want $120-150 a bag. Here's who I've used.....
http://www.allstarhealth.com/f/now-100_percent_pure_whey_protein_isolate_natural.htm
($78.99 & all orders ship for $5.95) this link has a good description of the product too.
http://www.vitaglo.com/2177.html
($76.99 and ships FREE)
The large bags do not come with a scoop. I bought my first order with a smaller jug size and it has a scoop plus works well to transfer the bulk product into a smaller container. (you might want to order it in a small size just to try it out first.) The large bag is resealable and does stay fresh.
I use 2 scoops a day (25g each scoop) and the bag lasts about 3 months.

edited to add: This is what I use in my coffee every morning! I don't like sweet/flavored coffees but I do like coffee with half&half. The addition of unflavored protein keeps it real for me. :)
