Kaye Question about Actigall and Daily Pill Popping and Chewables

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask questions. I've checked out the forum area, but it's not well organized and I don't think many people look there, so I'm posting them here until I'm pointed in the right direction :-) I apologize if I'm not in the area. I started my Actigall a few days ago. I noticed on the warning label that is says, "Do not take Antacids containing Aluminum within 1 hour before OR 2 hours After taking this medicine" I'm taking Prilosec (O… Continue

David Lippiatt Green Tea

I know this has been discussed before but I don't remember the reasons why green tea is better than black tea? They are the same plant and there virtually the same amount of caffeine, so why again is it OK to drink Green tea and not Black tea? I know that is want DrR drinks(reluctantly) and I know he doesn't like herbal tea's because you don't really know what's in them... Continue

Sheba Raviv AGENT ORANGE, WHERE DID YOU GO????

Well, it's 50 days since my surgery. Until 4 days ago, there would ALWAYS be some orange circles in the toilet when I went.... (HA, I'm an MGBer, the right to be graphic... LOL) Anyway, for the last 3 days NOT A DROP of the orange to be had... I had always had confidence that the fat was not being absorbed when I saw the orange circles floating.... Does this mean that now the fat IS being absorbed? My diet has not changed. Also, I don't have loose stool any longer. What does this all mean? I ha… Continue

Natina Gidluck Grrrr... need to vent.

Today my man decided I should try U wieghtloss program again one more time before I go ahead with surgery.

I hate dieting... the special foods... the portion control... the calorie count... the missed goodies... The OH your on a diet AGAIN.... good luck with that *silent* hee hee's coming from the crowd. Grrrrr fe… Continue

CareyS Thoughts at Week 44...

Ok, so here I am, just over 10 months out from my MGB, I have lost 157 pounds and counting, going from 302 down to 145 as of this morning. I have gone from a size 24/26 pants and 3X tops, down to a size 6/8 pants and small tops. In many ways my life is completely different, and in some ways it is the same. I am still lazy, and a procrastinator, I just can't use the excuse of my fatness anymore, and I am finding ways to deal with it constructively. Now when I go to the gym, I get on that elliptic… Continue

Lisa Magee Five months gone and still doing great!!

It has been over five months since my MGB with Dr R. Around month four I did start losing a large amount of hair but I upped my protein and that has slowed my hair loss down. The only protein drink that I think tastes good is the Jay Robb protein shakes. Just drinking two or three of those a week really helped with the hair loss. I catch myself getting worked up over how much weight I am losing or not losing. Even though I have lost very consistently I start wanting it to be more, lots more. I w… Continue

Renee Attune Bars

Hi, I just wanted to share this. There was a topic on the yahoo email group about gas...One very nice lady, Barb, suggested a chocolate bar that she found that helped her. They are called ATTUNE bars and I found them in the refrigerated section of my health food store, next to the Kefir. They have a few flavors, some are like chocolate bars and some like granola bars. I tried a few and they are all very yummy but the chocolate/PB granola one is my favorite! And here is the best part---They have… Continue

William Dickson How does your current health insurance provider feel about you after the MGB?

Since the MGB is not an approved surgery by any health insurance companies, how do you handle medical treatments that they say is directly associated to the MGB surgery or is this a problem? Do they say you are no longer insurable? Do they reject any claims they feel is directly related the surgery? Continue

Kim Chastain So scared I am not losing anymore

Well for the first time I have not lost any weight...now going on a month. Literally right after the 6 month mark hit-my weight froze at 218. I have lost 78 lbs which I am very glad about...but I have such high expectations about the surgery. To go through the surgery and all....I just wont be happy unless I can get to 160-170...I just won't. Sorry to be such a downer ...but I know there are a couple of folks on this web site that also stopped losing at 6 months...and although yes-I could start… Continue

Elbee Expereinces w/ head hunger?

Hey y'all... I was hoping people could share their experiences/triggers with head hunger. I'm not even a week out and I'm noticing some triggers, which is good in itself but could be dangerous so early, dont you think? And if so...how did you combat it this early on? Its slightly scary that my mind is already doing this to me. I'll hear my head saying, "Oh, I want a publix sub SOOO bad", or whatever. I'm not hungry so its likely due to seeing people eat around me, boredom and possibly even b… Continue

Kaye Coffee or Tea Anyone?

So I'm now 9 days out and I'm gagging for a cuppa tea. I'm British, so not being able to have my cup of hot milky tea is really getting to me. I'm also a coffee lover and although I wasn't addicted to caffeine, I did enjoy the odd cup of joe here and there. Maybe 1 or 2 cups a week. Boy am I missing both!! Does anyone know of any good alternatives? Good news is I'm beginning to manage more fluids. I've had 20oz in 4 hours. My best yet!! My other question is about Fluids. Is everyone out there d… Continue
