2014 and doing very well. I do have osteopenea, but this is not unusual for a woman my age. I am taking meds for that and hope to see an improvement next year when I retest.

How are YOU doing?

Exactly!

This is what people considering this option need to know. Effort and consequences don't stop once you have WLS.

I love your signature!

My new normal is normal as it is for my skinny - or "normal size" GFs. They eat reasonably, often they shared a meal with each other when we were out. Because one meal was more than enough for 2 of them.

And they monitored their weight or size daily. If tehy saw a regain of 2 lbs they would restrict what they ate and how much. Added extra exercise until they saw the magic number on a scale or were able to fit into their "skinny pants". Because of my WLS - some days I feel I can eat more than they can. More proteins and fats. But less carbs.

In a way watching my normal GFs helped me understand what "normal eating is".

Hi, I am looking at these patches as well and feel there isn't as much info as I would like to see. I would really love it if those of you visiting this thread, who have used the patches, would take a few minutes and run thru this 10 question survey about it. I figure we all should pool our knowledge!

I will be sharing the data here on OH.

I'd bet money that your gut bugs (intestinal flora, i.e. bacteria) are out of whack. Some notice improvement with adding probiotics. Others have to whack out everything with antibiotics and repopulate with probiotics.
