I’ve always prided myself on being an ideal post WLS patient. I take copious amounts of vitamins. I eat a blanced healthful low carb diet. I get in plenty of calories according to my BMR(basal metabolic rate) to maintain my weight. In spite of my anal like adherence to this. It still has not kept me from becoming severely malnourished.
One place I am severely lacking are my protein levels. I’ve

For years after my WLS I actively participated in the online support forums. They were my home away from, so to speak. These past months many changes have occurred in my life that have me wondering exactly where do I go from here. I no longer feel a connection with the WLS community as a whole. Some believe it is only because of the problems that I have been having lately that have colored my

Here I go once again writing about eating disorders and WLS. I’ve been very open about my loooooong history with an ED, over 30 years now. I knew I wasn’t alone in this. Shoot, I’m of the opinion if you don’t have an ED before WLS, you sure end up with one afterwards.
Some of the WLS support boards are very much like the pro-ana, pro-mia boards. Well, diet support sites in general, really.

I’ve done several posts in the past about the need for many supplements after WLS. In each one I have stated multiple times you need to be proactive in your own health care. Do not take it when the doctor tells you your “labs” are fine. Know what it is they are checking and the values. Ask for copies.

First let me thank my online friends for their support and concern. I appreciate all of your support and encouragement.
With all this junk going on with me, I did what I normally do….research.
Do you know how really difficult it is to find long term research on WLS? It doesn’t exist. Most I could find was for 5 years tops.
