    www.obesityhelp.com has some great diet ideas for after your surgery. Of course, you should be seeing a nutritionist soon 9if you haven't already) who should give you some great ideas as well.

    As far as vitamins, the only two I have ever, ever taken are Flintstone chewables and tums. Do not choose a mutivitamin with Calcium as we do not absorb calcium the same after surgery. Tums are a great source of calcium. Chew three a day and you are good to go. One at breakfast, one at lunch and one at dinner. Do not chew the multivitamin and calcium at the same time though.

    I als had gastric Bypass surgery. I had mine in Ot 2007 and it has changed my life. I've lsot 150 pounds and only need to lose about 15 more to be at my goal weight. If you have any other questions, -mail me at evanrudysmommy@yahoo.com

    GOD provided us with all we need in regard to organs, such as the stomach for a reason. The stomach plays an important role in digestion far beyond just holding food in it. Doctors are not trained in nutrition and therefore ignore the value of food and how it is processed in the body. By pass surgery is NOT GOOD SCIENCE. Yes, you will lose weight and accomplish that goal. That is called "treating the symptom" and that is what medical people do.

    Vitamin B-12 is broken down in the stomach into smaller molecules so your body can process it properly in the liver. Bypassing the stomach will not let that process happen. The stomach produces stomach acid to sanitize food, but it also provides a low pH so that calcium, magnesium, and zinc can be absorbed into the walls of the jejunum. When you bypass the stomach, this makes it next to impossible for you to properly digest those minerals.

    Taking supplements will not solve this problem and the supplements you get in pill form will not dissolve to a point where they, the supplements, will become toxic to the body. Taking supplements you get in a store are made from synthetic sources and even the so called Natural Vitamins contain lots of excipients and synthetic products to boost the potency, etc. and damage the DNA.

    Your best course of action is NOT GET BYPASS SURGERY for a long sustained life, but if you are willing to accept the consequences, go for it. Yes, you will lose weight and that trade off will help you be healthier in that regard, but then you have set yourself up for a cascade of events that will most likely point you in a direction of degeneration and an earlier death than if you were to lose the weight a much safer and better way.

    Doctors treat symptoms and weight gain is not something they are good at correcting. I suggest to you, that you have not figured out your problem because you have been talking to the wrong people.

    You, and you alone are the one responsible for making the decisions about what to do, not the doctor, not your minister, not your parents. If you are nervous, I suggest it is your brain trying to tell you something. If you truly believed that "in the end this will be good for you," you would not be nervous, but determined.

    I strongly suggest you find a practitioner that understands QRA testing and find out what is actually causing the weight problem you have and then you will be able to actually fix the problem and end up healthy. That is the right course, not "MAKE BELIEVE HEALTH."

    EDIT: OMG, Flintstone vitamins? Right. Look at the ingredients; what a pile of junk that is. And the tums? The reason for that is that your food will not be digested due to the lack of stomach acid, or sanitized, leaving your body open to attack from the nanobacteria that goes after the heart and arteries, kidneys, and pancreas. The tums are an antacid. Now that is simply tragic advice. Not only will the food not get stomach acid to digest and sanitize, but the tums will neutralize the lactic acid being produced from the rotting, putrefying food mass and really throw off toxins all over the body. But you will not feel the "acid indigestion" when all that happens, but you will get the booby prize for all this lunacy.

    good luck to you

    The hassle isn't quite simply gastric pass surgical procedure for such a lot humans, however any variety of quite giant weight reduction. It's difficult for any individual to not suppose what a lady have got to have gave the impression of at three hundred lbs (or perhaps they have even noticeable ancient pix), and plenty of guys can be afraid that the woman will grow to be watching like that once more. Besides the appears component, humans more often than not consider of weight problems as a person flaw, undeniable ancient greediness, or a complete loss of self-manipulate, with out in view that the entire extra organic and environmental reasons that aren't the character's fault. So, you generally tend to consider "here's any individual with out a individual self-manipulate, who does not appreciate herself or her frame, and who would possibly very good grow to be watching very unattractive to me once more." Keep in brain that I'm no longer announcing I consider the ones matters! But that is what plenty of humans are quite considering, if they are sincere. I'm a lady, and I do not know if I might date a man with gastric pass regardless of how scorching he is watching now. But it is not when you consider that of the appears factor; there are simply such a lot of barriers on what you'll consume, how so much you'll consume, an obsession with gaining weight, digestive disorders, different wellness disorders, and so on... I'm afraid his difficulty perhaps a massive "factor" in our courting that would not leave. If my boyfriend built melanoma, I'd be there for him via all of it, however I do not know if I might CHOOSE to this point any individual who was once presently being affected by melanoma. It's the equal factor. I'm sorry if it sounds horribly egocentric.

    Actually, you don't need to diet per se in order to lose weight, the only method which really showed results for me is green tea, it can be seen in the resource box below, they have a limited number of free trials in stock, it was featured in Fox News and CNN. I shed twenty pounds, it really does produce results!
