Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Hi Everyone, Its been 3 mo since my DS and I have lost 68 pounds and I'm feeling great. Have gone from a BMI of 68 to 57. I take a Centrum vitamin and a pleasant tasting Viactive chocolate/carmel for calcium every day. I also supplement my food with 2 scoops of Pro Score 100 = 30 gms protein powder blended with crushed ice...its a nice drink and I am not tired of it and it has no aftertaste, its like drinking a milkshake. The Viactive and the protein drink are like sweet treats for me, so I have no craving for sugar. I seem to plateau for a week around my period and some water retention, other than that my weight loss is pretty steady. I dont need my cane anymore to walk ... and I can " reach " where I need to for hygiene! Yeah! I stay away from fried foods but the occasional pat of butter causes no problem and I am not experiencing any lactose intolerance. I have the soft, stronger smelling stools as predicted with occasional diarrhea but nothing uncontrollable. I do keep a deodorizer spray in the bathroom which seems to take care of that occurrence. I feel very lucky not to be experiencing any complications and am looking forward to more and more mobility as my weight loss continues. Thank goodness I found out about this surgery! mary corona, ca (sorry for the cross post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
