Since you are only 5 days out I would guess that it is a side effect of your pain meds, even if you have stopped taking them. I used to be an adamant non-cryer, but these days all it takes is a good...

Does anyone else suffer from endometriosis and got the sleeve to see if it would help increase fertility?
I have lost about 65lbs since February and went back to the Endocrinologist/Fertility Doc...

I had my surgery in Feb and honestly my hair just stopped falling out about a week ago. It was traumatic to see handfulls of it fall out but it is growing back in and it still looks okay, I wear it...

Dear Debbie,
The Sleeve is not easy but if you have had the band I can't imagine that once you recover from the surgery that it is much different? I think the first few months of adjustment are...

I think I felt similar to you. I am a couple of months out and it does get easier! It is a massive lifestyle change. I have found sometimes when I am emotional I feel like there is a "hole" that I...

I have had alcohol and it does hit me differently and faster. I keep my food log at myfitnesspal.com that way I know how many calories and carbs I am having to stay within my daily limits. Just like...

I am a couple of months out, I've found that if I avoid white foods ( flour, potatoes, tortillas, white bread) the best thing I can do to eat slowly is to put a saucer of food by my desk and eat off...

HealthGrades > Find a Doctor | Doctor Reviews | Hospital Ratings, Find a doctor - Doctor reviews and ratings - Doctor vitals - RateMDs.com, I would go to these sites and rate the doctor. My surgeon...

I have found that I can tolerate the corn tortillas and corn chips with proper chewing, without much problem, but flour tortillas are not going to stay down long.
How do you do with the rice? I am...

Thank you all, I am on week 4 of the plateau, I have lost a few pounds, maybe 3 this month. For those of you that are recomending the protein "shots", where are you buying them?
The good news...

I really like the Muscle Milk ready to drink shakes, right now I m really tired of them, :P but I think they taste the best of any of them and have a high protien count.

Miracle Suits and SlimSuits are amazing and sometimes they even have them at discount stores like Ross. They have underwires for support and hold in your "giggly bits" I highly recommend! They have...

I felt like that in the begining and on bad days, what are your headaches from?
What do you feel like you are missing out on the most?
Have you talked to your doctor?

I am trying a lot of new foods but I tend to vomit or have discomfort alot, working on chewing everything 30 times and puttting my fork down between bites. White carbs still make me sick everytime...

I live south east of Dallas in Kaufman.

:confused:I was sleeved on 2/17/11, I lost about 35lbs the first three weeks, since then barely a single pound the last three weeks? I have stalled out! I have tried to increase my calorie instake,...

I was sleeved 2/17/11. I try to always order soup, unless it is cream based if not soup then a vegetable side. Chew everything you try 30 times and see if that helps.
The worst is when I wait to...

The Dr told me that it would go away and it did, after about 18 days? He said that it is common since they get so close to the ribs with the instruments and damage the nerves.

I used Phazyme for the intestinal gas and the gas left over from the surgery, ugh that was not fun! But everyone says sit up and walk around as much as possible, do "windmills" with your arms if...

Thank you for your response!
I am being really careful with my bites and chewing each one at least 30 times, to a baby food consistancy, trying to space out each bite. Sometimes I even go walk...

I have a very similar question-
I am 5 weeks out and have hit a plateau the last 2 weeks, I lost 30lbs the first 3 weeks and now everyday it is like the scale is predetermined to go right to the...

To fight the nausea I remembered I had some wrist bands I had in my overnight kit. They are used for motion sickness and to fight nausea during pregnancy. They seemed to really help, they are just...

I had my surgery the same day as you! I definitely noticed that I have to take small sips, sometimes I put the liquid into my mouth and then swallow it in smaller portions. I read that using baby...
