Well I am 2 months and 2 weeks out and so far I've lost 78 lbs! I don't regret having the WLS at all. I guess I am one of the few lucky ones though. I read some of the posts on here and my heart goes out to them. I haven't had any problems or complications at all. I can pretty much eat what I want to I am just extremely pick about what I eat. I don't eat sugar and watch the fat levels and I have no troubles. The only thing I can say is that I do not get hungry at all. I have to force myself to eat something a couple times a day but other than that I am doing good. I haven't found anything that makes me sick. I have found I can not use skim milk for the protein shakes though it still has too much sugar in it. I have found this milk called Calorie Countdown that is 2% milk that is ultra pasturized and has like 3g sugar and 2.5g fat per cup and it tastes like normal milk. They have it in plain and choc.
