CONSTIPATION HAS MET ITS MATCH!
Apr 23, 2014
I knew the title would get you. After trying Bene fiber and ad nauseum, I found Sundown Naturals Gummy Fiber not only delish in taste. It get the job done if you catch my drift.
Nothing more to say. Well one more thing. Never trust a fart! 
Wishing all the best.

100 pounds gone
Apr 12, 2014
My highest weight was 377 in June of 2013. My surgery weight was 352 on Dec 2, 2013. As of today I weigh 277.9 WOW! I have some emotional stuff to deal with, but nothing overwhelming. I can buy my gym shorts, t-shirts, and my tighty whiteys at Target!?!?!! Go figure! I have 52lbs to go to hit goal weight. I have already selected what to do when that happens. I'm driving up to Vallejo California and go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and ride the Superman rollercoaster. Google it if you want to see it. I am grateful for all the stories I have read here at OH and hope to meet some of you at the convention in August. If I can be of help to anyone please fell free to message me.

Three Months and 9 days out
Mar 11, 2014
Things have been pretty interesting as of late. My top weight as of June 2013 was 377lbs. My surgery weight was 351lbs, and today I am 286.6lbs. OMG! If I counted correctly that's 91lbs. I feel ok. I am off the metformin, and my PCP is looking at decreasing my blood pressure meds tomorrow. I am glad I did this now, cause if I had done this earlier in my life I'd be dead. Things taste differently like SALT!!! OMG I didn't know salt tasted like that. I do about 600-800 calories a day, and do between 60-90 grams of protein per day via food and Premier Protein drinks. Emotionally I don't miss food. Because of a insurance screw-up I had a year and a half to mentally prepare for that separation. Now that I don't/cant plow my face into food over feelings I find myself confronting how I REALLY FEEL about things. At the same time it is scary because I have this feeling of freedom......what to do with this freedom? Well I'm going back to school in September to get my certification in medical coding. And not to sound like a cosmic cowboy, I think I need to expand my spiritual life. My surgeon thinks 225lbs is a good stopping point for me so I'm officially making that my goal weight. By the way if you are in the Los Angeles area and need a surgeon check out Dr. Carson Liu at Skylex Advance Surgical. Anyway if I can be of help with your journey don't hesitate to send me a message.
Wishing you all the best!

Dumping Syndrome
Dec 11, 2013
Today is day 10 post surgery. To be honest, I haven felt this good in years. Call me crazy, but I wanted to know what dumping felt like. I got my answer a couple of hours ago. OMG! hopefully that won't happen again. I overdid it with walking today so I'm slowing down. I've noticed that when I walk I'm standing straight. No hunchback of Notre Dame. Will see the doctor this Saturday. Maybe starting soft foods but to be honest the protein shakes haven't driven me crazy. Working on a pic I can post. If I can be of help to anyone send me an e-mail.
Fight the good fight my fellow WLS friends!
All the best,
Prince Phillip
