Topic: Finding my way back
Hi people. I have been gone for years. I've found my way home. I would love to be active on line again. Is there anyone out there from ThroughThickandThin Charlotte?

Not saying that you aren't doing what you're supposed to do, because I'm sure you are, but I noticed that you have a VSG.
While this provides restriction, and doesn't allow you to eat as much, you still absorb all the calories you do eat, so you still need to be careful not to make high calorie choices.
I have the duodenal switch, and my massive weight loss and maintenance is due to malabsorption (see www.dsfacts.com). I will have to do heavy vitamin and mineral supplementation for the rest of my life, at a level that would create vitamin toxicity in unaltered folk, and even folk with VSG, like you. The VSG is the top half of my surgery, which provides the same restriction for me that you have.
I'm sure you will be successful, but if you find that you're having some difficulty maintaining all but a minor gain, you might want to look into having "the switch". It's not for everyone.
Congrats on your weight loss!

You have to be invited, what is your name on facebook? I tried to add people but it didn't work for me so I let them know you wanted to be invited.
