Is everyone different on the basic calories protein and carbs? I have tried like 3 different calculator's and got different amounts. I want to make sure I do the right amounts for my weight and height..

Hello everyone,

I have been flip flopping every year on my weight. Over the past year and half I put on 56lbs. I didn't do all this to gain everything back. I'm still 89lbs down. I need lots of support and have NO support groups close to home. I have been told I should do a pouch shrink, keto diet and then a regular diet. What are your thoughts?

Bigsilly,

I don't know anyone personally that has died from any of these surgeries.  I will say this my doctor said the only ones that do die (in her care) are the ones that don't do as she says when they get home.  They sit down and don't walk and end up with blood clots.  I would say that the other ones that might pass away from this is the ones that go in with MAJOR health issues that cause them to pass but not the surgery itself.  It's as safe as having open heart surgery is now.. I was so scared too but its like 1 in ever 10,000 and that's the ones that don't do as they are told.. I personally know 4 people that have gone through this surgery and they are all alive and well and losing or lost all their weight..

Put your life in your doctors hands but listen to him/her well and you will be just fine.. It will be the best choice you have ever made in your whole life...
