Hi, I am very surprised by this article. I had the gastric by-pass surgery in September of 2006 and the doctor’s office that did this highly recommends vitamins that are specially designed for people who have had this surgery

Hey, Sylvie. Thanks for checking in and sharing your story. I heard a MILLION things about gastric bypass for years before my surgery. Good. Bad. Scary. Exciting. I have found, as you know yourself, that every one has a VERY unique and different experience and the opinions (positive and negative) don’t really even factor in to your post-surgery reality.

Congrats on your early success and best wishes on reaching your goal. It seems like you have the right focus and energy . . . even putting making the decision for YOU before for your loved ones.

Thanks for the kind words, Steve. It sounds very simple to just be accountable for every calorie that I put in my mouth but, if I had always lived by such a “simple” rule – I would have never gotten to the state I was in. Now – actually FOLLOWING the rule – I realize just how easy and impactful it is.

It was really good to see a positive post about WLS after all the negative fear mongering ones I read before this. I myself had the surgery OCtober 2007 ad am down 85 lbs, 45 more to go. Couldn’t have made a better decision for myself and my lvoed ones.

Congratulations, Sean, on your success!

I like your aphorism: “Every calorie counts, so count every calorie.” Fits in nicely with the current blogospheric emphasis on food diaries.
