[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 281534, member: 3907"] Marg and Melissa, I think you've both raised some very important points about the gastric bypass surgery and weight loss. Too many people seem to think that the surgery will do all the work, without any other changes required. Marg, like you, my husband would have been facing the surgery. He decided to try a medically supervised diet that was geared to his specific requirements, working close in hand with an endocrinologist. His blood levels were measured monthly, they had him on tons of supplements because on the early stages of the diet he simply could not eat enough food to get all of the nutritional requirements. He has now lost about 225 lbs (100 kilos?) and has been able to maintain that weight for the last 6 months. The maintenance phase has been an interesting transition. Friends and family seem to think that, now that husband is "done dieting", he can go back to eating whatever he feels like. Although his diet is a bit more flexible than it was during the beginning of the prorgam, there are still so many things he doesn't eat, or that he eats in moderation. He's developed a real talent for saying "no thank you" over the last while. But the key is, he's going to have to work hard at healthy eating habits for the rest of his life. It's the reality, and he accepts it. Trinity [/QUOTE]
