I'm not sure. After gastric bypass you are very limited in the amount of food you can consume at one time and the USMC boot camp is the most rigerous of all branches of the military. You can't eat when you need to, only when your CO says... also because your body won't abosorb nutirents in the same way you may not have access to the extra vitamins and nutrients you need. Talk to a recruiting officer before you make any decisions. There are other alternates to gastric bypass that may work for you, and your goal of joining the military. A good diet group such as weight watcher might be a good idea and also start doing some physical training before boot camp to get in shape. My nephew almost had to start boot camp all over because he was in sick bay for several weeks due to stress fractures in both legs. He stuck it out and recently finished his service, including two tours in Iraq.
Great post! I totally understand how you feel. I'm also trying to lose weight and I found this great product which is working for me (it's all 100% natural - a colon cleanse that was really gentle on my body. I feel so good and I lost 15 pounds). You can check the website at
