I've been using Dr. O's protien Shake all week and it is delicious! I seem to be intolerant of Soy (it made my stomach hurt), but I'm also intolerant of all fruit, Grains and Dairy combined, Diary and Sugar combined.... good grief! But I love the protein shakes with milk. Seems to be the only thing that doesn't cause me problems.

Hi Sandi,

Congratulations on your success! Can you tell me what you're doing to make it work? I had my surgery a little over 5 weeks ago and I lost 10 lbs before the surgery and only 7 or 8 since (my weight is still fluctuating, so it's hard to tell exactly). I still feel hungry a lot, although I can't eat as much at one sitting that I used too. But I eat more often throughout the day. What surgery did you have? I'm really trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong...

Thanks!

Kelly

Hi Sivad,

I'm flying down tomorrow for gastric plication. I did a lot of research and the plication has the least complications. I was almost 30 when I started gaining weight so I know how you feel. The bottom line is you are the one that has to live. Period. With or without the surgery. You have to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what you want out of your life. If diet and exercise were all that it took, we wouldn't be spending billions of dollars on the weight loss industry and still be getting fatter. Read every page on here. Google and look for information off of this site. Look up You Tube videos. Then make the decision for yourself. No one else lives in your body but you.

Good luck!!

Hi Sarah,

I go in for my surgery in exactly one week. How did you feel the first week after your surgery? My son in flying in to San Diego to be with me after the surgery(he's in the military and not allowed in TJ) and we thought we would stay in SD a few days to site-see (we used to live there). Did you have much pain or energy that first week?
