Just a caution, but be careful with vitamins and other supplements. It may not be ok to double your dose without running it by your doctor. It's easy to think of these as "healthy" but more difficult to remember that they may be harmful in anything other than recommended dosages.
I've posted about memory loss and someone mentioned not to trust the docs so... I doubled my multivitamin. I'm taking 2 Materna a day and I feel soooooo much better. However, today I doubled my calories and had a crazy binge. So much so that I had sharp pains in my sides. So yes, the title is deceiving but bloody hell I am SCREWEDDDDDDD.
posterity.
I only have one thought - do you still have your gall bladder?
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

put it in your damn sandwich, its not enough for me to make a snack out of
L - chicken burger with a lettuce bun
S - protein bar maybe
D - I saw some leftover cabbage roll soup in the fridge this morning so I'll probably clean that up

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
It has been 13 months since my vsg and I have lost 130 lbs. Now at random times about 30 minutes after eating or drinking I get pain on both sides. It starts out very minimal and I can feel it getting worse as if it is moving out growing. It can be hard to breath sometimes while the pain is there and lying on my stomach helps. After about anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes it will slowly go away and I can feeling it moving down and then just stop. Had anyone had this experience? Could it be gas or backed up? Maybe lacking something or not enough of something? It has only started recently

When I first met with my surgeon, I basically just asked him if I could have the sleeve instead. He asked me why, I gave him my reasons, and he agreed. He said given my starting weight, I could expect the same result with either surgery anyway, and he was comfortable doing both.
Of course it landed PB side down, lol. I'm sure the pup loves cleaning up after the Little Nugget. She's finger licking good. It's a symbiotic relationship that will last for many years (when no one is looking she will throw things under the table - that's what I did with my dog).

Those are some aggressive cardinals. I have never seen that, but have seen them looking at themselves in the sideview mirrors of the car.

Sending you hugs on the anniversary of your Dad's passing. Mine drives me crazy, but I am so grateful he is still in my life.

Hello my friends. For those of you who are 3 plus years out, what was your starting weight? Your current weight? How did you manage to keep your weight off? Do your exercise? What's your support system?
Detailed answers would be appreciated and do NOT apologize for long posts. I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone, but Diminishing Dawn, H.A.L.A.B. (I think) and Grim Something or other (the man) would be great as well. Oh and someone named Karen. And of course all of our other wise veterans.
By the way, if you're on the other extreme and have regained, what was your starting, surgery, current weights? Please share your journey and tell us what caused you limited success.
Wishing everyone what amounts to their own definition of success.
