At this point, 1100 calories seems to be maintenance, with 1-2 lb up or down, seemingly depending upon how much liquid I get in. Doing well with chewable vitamins and biotin, and I can see tiny hairs growing back in the patches that are so very thin.
I've set protein at 110 grams, fats at 34 grams, and balance in healthy carbs.
The variability and mystery comes in because I cannot eat a "normal" small plate with 3 items like people do. I have to finish all of one thing, and then wait about 15 minutes and do the healthy carb. Otherwise, my touchy stomach rebels.
This seems to mean I eat often throughout the day. My doctor said its fine with him, but wouldn't it be convenient to eat 3 meals and a snack? But just can't do it.
Any thoughts on how to juggle this? Gratefully I am retired, so I really can eat whenever. And if we are traveling or visiting the kids, I take my protein shakes and Triple Zero Yogurt to fill in the blanks without making a big deal of my diet.
Thanks!

IMO, that brand is overpriced supplements, and the makers is a "multilayer piramid sale company".
I use generic brand multivitamin (Centrum or equivalent to Centrum Store Brand).
I don't know of one multi vitamin supplement that had all we need, based on individual needs.
I.e some people do fine with relatively small dose of B12 per day, while others need much much higher to maintain good level of B12.

Does anyone here use Juice Plus. I have a friend who was telling me about it. I wanted to hear from you my WLS Family before I comit to purchase. I currently use the Bariatric Advantage multivitamins and my labs are fantastic.

Failed lap-band to VSG revision in 2010 - fast forward to 2017 and I'm back at my pre surgery weight. Started Keto mid Dec 2017 and I'm down 35lbs and really am just comfortable with eating now. Its a great plan.

Whey is a "fast-acting" protein, so your body absorbs and digests it more rapidly than casein, making it more satiating in the short term. However, that also means whey may not keep you full for as long as casein can.
In a study published in 2010 in the journal "Arquivos Brasileiros de Endocrinologia & Metabologia," normal-weight subjects who supplemented their diets with casein without attempting to cut calories ate less than subjects who supplemented with whey.
At 4 years post op I found myself with a 35+ lb regain and facing the barrel of a scary health issue.
I jumped onto keto hardcore last November and have lost almost of the regain- with about 7 lbs to go.
I have no problems with it, in fact I feel great. I do drink an iced McDonald's coffee every day and still stay in ketosis. Right now I am deep into ketosis (I use a ketone meter) and have just jumped out of a 6 week stall with a 4 lb loss in the past 4 days.
There are a TON of great online resources, I really love youtube for recipes and ideas. I also use a lot of bariatric recipes that I found on this site and others, and just adapt them for my life. I have found substitutes for EVERYTHING. As part of keto I eat a small amount of berries every couple weeks and really look forward to that treat. Otherwise I eat salad every single day to get my veggies.
My all time favorite site for Keto is www.dietdoctor.com. the SCIENCE of keto is found there, in addition to thousands of recipes, videos, movies, presentations, etc.
Let me know if you have any specific questions!
Doing a 'reset' is a decent way to get things going, especially to purge your system of all the sugar and carbs that might be present. However, you should follow a specific plan from a doc or a bariatric nut. Doing just a liquid fast for any amount of time is just a recipe for rebound. For many, the best option is to go back to a pre-op style of eating for a time.
I also regained 4 years post op got it together by doing just a few days of a 'reset' (shakes, jello, broth- all of the pre-op foods) then went strictly keto. in about 4 months I lost a 40 lb regain, have reversed a health issue and feel great. I would still like to lose another 25 to get to my actual goal weight (followed by my plastics work hopefully early next year).
Obesity is a common issue that has affected people of all ages with sedentary lifestyle. I am Amy, my younger brother and I are going through the same. So I have joined this forum to share and learn other people experiences.
Hello!
I am pre-op. I have been looking around for the supplements that I will need post-op. I am having a hard time finding a 'chewable' calcium citrate supplement. I found a liquid version that had the appropriate mg. Does anyone know if the liquid form is effective?
