    Re: No desire to eat !!!

    I too had my surgery in June and feel very little interest ( honestly, NONE!) in food. I have lost only 50 lbs though, so I am not concerned that I am losing too much weight. I will worry about that...

    Re: Holy Popcorn, Batman!!

    Cheeto Puffs. I think I could eat an entire bag if I tried. I've eaten several handfuls without any fullness what so ever. They are on my NO NO list for sure.
  3. Re: Homemade Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana...........So So Good!!

    Can I have the recipe? This is my husband's favorite soup! It looks delicious.
  4. What's with all the noise??? (warning: poo questions LOL)

    I am 3 and 1/2 months posts op and still can't figure my bowels out! First I was plagued by un-merciless constipation now I'm the girl who probably is the noisiest pooper ever. I've never been one...

    Re: Afternoon Nappers Anonymous

    Yep. I felt the same way. Granted, I've always loved my naps but from right after the surgery until about 6-7 weeks after surgery I had no choice, I had to lay/lie down or fall down. Not quite that...

    Re: Foamies?

    I had reflux prior to my sleeve surgery (with hiatal hernia repair). Reflux was like hot burning acid that came into my mouth, stung my throat, tasted bitter and disgusting. I haven't had a problem...

    Re: Foamies?

    My foamies don't come up from my stomach but are made in my mouth/back of throat/nasal passage (?). It happens to some degree no matter what I eat/amount, etc but happens in larger quantity/more...

    Consistently Amazed !!

    Every day since my surgery (June 12) I am consistently amazed at how little I need to eat to feel satisfied. I have trained myself to stop at "satisfied" as I can't yet judge the difference...
  9. Re: What are You Doing with Your Old Clothes?

    My Dr. office is large practice with a comprehensive program with exercise, NUT, follow-ups, support groups, etc. I have suggested that they host a quarterly "clothing exchange". So far, they have...

    Re: I need some help

    I am wondering if a visit to an Endocrinologist might be in order? One of the sub-specialties is metabolism. It sounds like you have a super efficient metabolism, able to keep you from losing weight...

    Re: Dying of thirst!!

    If I were you and the thirst continues much longer, I'd call the Dr. The procedure seems to effect people differently, you might have gotten dehydrated and just haven't caught up. After my husband...

    Re: Meh...

    First thing, CONGRATS!! Although I didn't know it at the time, my sleeve date is like my 2nd birthday! Best thing I ever did.

    Secondly, take tiny sips of your liquids, go slow but steady. I kept a...

    Re: HELP - Gastric Juices

    Water hurts more than other beverages for some reason (something to do with specific gravity), to me it stung and felt like I was swallowing a knife. I drank room temperature G2 (sugarfree Gatorade)...

    Re: Sleeve and hernia repair

    I had both surgeries at the same time too. 3 months here on the 12th and I still have to be careful when drinking (eating too, for that matter). It was very painful to swallow for about two weeks...

    Re: What did you lose???

    40 lbs=a 15 foot canoe!! Wow, bulky as hell and hard to carry around! My husband had his surgery in January and is down 108 lbs. We joke that between the two of us we've lost a 148 lb fully grown...
  17. Re: SPANX- how soon after surgery can I wear them?

    I put mine back on about 2 weeks out. I felt that it helped provide some stability, support and helped to keep other clothes from rubbing on the very biggest (and most sore!) incision right above my...
  18. Re: Anyone else nauseated after eating a few bites?

    Almost 3 months out and I am nauseous with every meal as well. I've attributed it to still eating too fast but honestly, even when I eat at a snails pace I feel very woozy. I get so close to vomiting...

    Re: So tired... Is this normal?

    I was so tired for at least 8 weeks also. I had to take two naps just to make it through the day ( am and pm just like a baby!!) I believe the Drs. give us the "soft sell" so as not to scare off the...
  20. Re: The how are you losing so much weight question

    LOL, now that is a sassy answer! I love it and will try to remember it. I bet that answer coupled with some very direct eye contact would indeed shut down a conversation!
  21. Re: The how are you losing so much weight question

    I don't tell people, only very immediately family know, because I am a very private person. I am not at all ashamed of having the surgery, i just don't feel like my medical choices are anyone's...
