Trudy,

Try getting Carnation Instant Breakfast, I hear it has all the same things in it

as Ensure or Boost and it costs a whole lot less. I had a doctor tell me that

when my Mom needed more nurishment and I was going to get Ensure.

For what it's worth. My mom had the old time " stomach staple " almost 20

years ago. For her first 3 mos after surgery, she had nothing but Carnation

Instant Breakfast. She was to sip four of them slowly throughout the day and

nothing else. She stayed healthy and her hair and nails were wonderful. I

would guess it is as good as Ensure at not nearly the cost.

Ive honestly done great since surgery. I have lots of energy and feel

terrific. I still take my Prevacid though. If I dont my tummy gets

real unsettled. No reflux or burning, just kinda urpy. Im wearing a

size 22 (which I havent worn in over 10 years) down from a 28 or 30. I

eat mostly fruit/dairy/pasta and a little meat. I dont have any trouble

eating anything. My bloodwork has all come back excellent. Ive lost

about 77 pounds and have 75 more to go so Im halfway to my goal of 200

(im 5'11'' tall). Not bad for less than 4 months...: )) Sounds like

youre doing wonderful also!!

I wish I could eat meat and pasta...

I can eat sweets but I really never cared for them that much.. Miss my meat and

bread though.. haha

I'm doing good except in my fifth week have noticed some lack of energy... So

I started some ensure this week, and I changed to metamucel instead of

citrucel.. Still get the hives just not as bad!

I've lost in inches even tho. I never measure! I can just tell by my clothes.

Aint that the greatest feeling when things that use to be snug are now baggy in

all the right places???

My husband really takes notice and never forgets to say something encouraging

about my loss. I would never have thought he would have been so supportive.

He's constantly telling me how proud he is of me..

Scheesh,, it really isn't me, it's my new stomach! (and Dr. R. and the MGB, but

don't tell him, okay?)

Keep us posted.. you were having your surgery just about the time I started

investigating the MGB, and I'm tickled to hear from any of you...

Thanks,

Trudy :)

Sounds like youre doing great!! What do you get the hives from?? That

sounds awful!! I havent taken my Citrucell since 1 week post op... it

just makes me gag!! That is probobly why I have to still take the

Prevacid... but I would rather stay on Prevacid forever than choke down

the vile Citrucell....LOL. I just did my first purging of fat clothes

from my closet.. all my size 26-32's. Boy was that fun!! I measure

myself every month and its fun to watch the inches drop. It also helps

when you hit the dreaded plateau. The scale doesnt move, but thats

usually when the inches show the most for me and it keeps me from

getting down!! Thats great that your husband is so supportive. I live

alone and dont live close to my family so I dont see them except usually

for holidays so theyre really looking forward to seeing me for Christmas

.... hopefully less 80 pounds...lol. Seems like its a new adventure

every day!! Does the Ensure help with your energy levels??

Haven't been taking the ensure long enough to know if it's gonna help with the

energy.. sure hope so, it's very expensive!!

(but it tastes kinda like a melted milk-shake, vanilla)

Not sure where the hives are coming from, I got them when I was taking the

carafate, too. Stopped that after one week. Then about another week later,

noticed that the citrucel seemed to bring on hives... changed to medimucel (sp)

tastes a whole lot better, but still I have hives.. They can get pretty nasty,

they come and go depending on what I'm doing.

I'm use to hives, I have lots of allergies, from different things, but

especially all natural things with all natural ingredients...

NO biggy, I'll figure it out.

I'm more concerned about you not taking the citrucel, or something compariable..

I thought we were to take that everyday for the rest of our lives!! I don't

suppose you checked with the doc before you quit taking it?

Trudy,

Don't you realize how much it took to risk your life and commit to a new

lifestyle? I think he has every right to be proud. Glad your hives are

starting to resolve--I was thinking about that just yesterday. Glad your

clothes are shrinking, too.

Love,

Sperb
