I checked with my dietician about chewing gum and she said as long as it's sugar free and I don't swallow, it's no problem. I don't swallow, so I'm chewing away! Helps stave off cravings!:)

I'm a little concerned and need advice. I'm about 2-1/2 months out from surgery and am losing weight on a consistent basis... about 5 or 6 pounds a week. My "problem" is that I think I'm eating too much. I'm supposed to be eating a little more than 1/4 cup per meal at this point, and 1 or 2...

My nutritionist and the info given to me has NEVER mentioned calories. I just know that at 3 months out, my max intake per meal is supposed to be 1/4 cup.... which isn't much! I could eat a full cup now with no problem, and that's the max for 1 year according to my plan. That's why I'm a...

I'm finding towards the end of the day, water upsets my stomach... has this happened to anyone else? I add Crystal Lite and that helps, but not always. I'm 2 weeks post-op. Other than that, I've had no problems!!

Why Gas-X? I have surgery next week, so I 'm curious. Why do you need so much Gas-X? What makes you gassy?

At first, I didn't want anyone to know... I was ashamed it got to this point. Then, about 10 months ago, I brought the subject up in a meeting at church and I was flooded with compassion and support. It's taken 10 months to get to this point -- 1 week from surgery. I told my kids and my mom...

I'm so excited to be so close to finally having this surgery!
