  1. Re: Ladies..when your period comes...do you still overeat?

  2. Re: LOUD stomach noises are causing problems at work!!!

    Re: Hungry all the time!!!!

    Re: Sleeve Signals?

    Hiccups and a slightly uncomfortable feeling. Though the hiccups often come first and not because I've eaten too much, just that I've had enough.

    Re: Sleeve Signals?

    Steadfast, I slept in a recliner for weeks after surgery, and then slept propped up on tons of pillows (whole upper body propped up) for months. That is a sign of gastric reflux where you are...

    Re: 1st Stall and only 2 weeks out

    There are a number of reasons for the stalls, but the important thing is they go away. :) Don't worry about it. It will come off in the end.

    I can appreciate the frustration! I was on TPN...

    Re: When is it ok to start exercising?

    I would imagine you could walk on the treadmill, just move into it slowly. SInce you were walking in the hospital, it can't be too bad for you. :) Just be careful to stay hydrated!

  16. Re: Dr. brought up getting sleeved and i am beyond scared

    I was terrified. I would just be careful not to let anyone talk you into the gastric bypass or another malabsorptive surgery. It is my personal opinion, but I am very leery of malabsorptive...
  17. Re: First Day Of Liquid Diet & Surgery On Wednesday!!

    Congratulations! You're almost there! :) Just drink lots of liquids. If you were already on low-carb for a couple weeks, it might make the liquid diet part a bit easier. You can do it!!!

    Have a backup plan in case of complications or an extended hospital stay. How will you handle things if that happens? It is very helpful to have this in place. I wish I had done this, but I...

    Re: less than 24 hours to go!

    They'll probably put you on an IV shortly after you arrive at the hospital, so you hopefully won't have to go the entire 24 hours without fluids. Just take a deep breath. In the hospital, even...
