Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hello , I would have the surgery again today if I could, with all the information that's out now but I have no insurance right now and job hunting because of a layoff on my job. (Cut backs). I'll be willing to donate my body for an experimental procedure but I can't go back to 315lbs. I'm struggling right now with hunger all the time. I still can only eat small amounts of food but chips and cookies I can consume alot. I have quit drinking soda's and only drink water or crystal lite lemonade but that's not helpful when I've eaten 10 oreo's. Are you gaining too? > > Hi!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I Thank GOD for this web site because I had a hard time obtaining information since It's been so long since my surgery. I was given a booklet of sample meals for a diabetic but they where not broken down in protions to accommodate the pouch. It was information for a diabetic patient and it had nothing to do with a gastric by-pass. But I will go to the web site you mentioned and get the candy. It's funny that you mentioned that because I buy them for my mother that's in a nursing home. She loves them, I never tried them. Thanks. > Have you tried to go back and follow the eating program that you were on > right after surgery? Go to the gastric bypass web sight and read the article > " Pouch rules for dummies " This should put you back on track. Also instead of > eating real food constantly try sucking on a sugar-free mint. I buy the bags of > lifesaver butter toffee and the Baskin Robbins fruit flavor or chocolate mint > {taste like Girl Scout thin mint cookies} Hope this will help you. > > A.
