There is an article posted about it on the main obesity help page.
you are the second person to mention a conference. Where is this when? Has anyone from here gone before I would like to know more.
I would like to go to the obesity help conference but if I am able to I would be going alone. I don't know what to expect or anything or if it would be too awkward going by myself?
at 800 calories you should be losing weight. Are you logging your food and weighing/measuring portions?
I don't feel "full" the way I did pre-surgery. Many of us don't. Instead, I feel some discomfort in my chest - sort of like a pressure. Once I feel that, I know it's time to stop eating. Some people have even weirder "full" cues - like sneezing or a runny nose.
I had gastric sleeve surgery back in July and lost 30lbs during the post op recovery period but haven't lost anything since then. I've noticed there seems to be very little, if any, restriction to the amount I can eat. I'm trying to stick to the post op diet recommendations I was given of 800 calories or less but I screw up occasionally. And it seems the surgery isn't helping with the weight loss at all. What do I do? When I see the doctor I tell him what I'm doing but he seems like he doesn't believe me when I say I don't drink anything with calories in it and I'm trying my best to stay at 800 calories. Did they screw up my surgery? Why don't I ever feel full?

I am very happy that you have found a doctor who is right for you
You have had such great responses here. I have to say that to me... if your husband is threatening divorce over a life changing surgery you may want, then he is either very uneducated as to the pros and cons of the surgery or not the kind of man you want to keep around for life no matter what you weigh!
