Hang in there! I'm 2 YEARS and 3 months post-sleeve and it's the best thug I ever did!!
I was sick as a dog until about the 7-8 week mark. Once I switched from Prilosec to Pepcid,
I stopped...

I absolutely 100% believed it wouldn't work on me. I really convinced myself over the years that being overweight was from possible PCOS or being pre diabetic or some kind of hormonal thing. ...

Haven't posted in a long time because, well, I've felt pretty great. Down about 85 lbs. Still gurgle quite often but I'm used to it. I told my husband it's like getting the hiccups...a real...

First of all, you look amazing! You look like a teenager! Ok. Are you saying you make the smoothie with the Atkins advantage PLUS the Greek yogurt and fruit? Can you giv me more of a recipe? Do...

I'm losing my hair like crazy. It's been 6 months since my surgery. I think I eat about 600-800 calories a day. So how do I manage 100g of protein a day on such little calorie intake? I don't like...

I don't get the high protein/less hair loss connection? I barely ate protein before surgery and had a full head of hair. So why now?

Read up on PPI side effects. I ended up with severe dehydration and, believe it or not, vertigo. It's a nasty drug.

My hair on my chin/neck is minimal now after losing weight. As a matter of fact, I thought it was gone after 20+ years of being hairy (laser surgery, etc..helped some too). Then the other day I used...

Is he taking a PPI? Like Nexium or Prevacid? I was so sick for 2 months until I got off of these! I now take Pepcid twice a day instead and feel 100%!

It's been a while since I've posted...and do you know why? Because I feel GREAT! Most people, self included, come to this forum to find answers to their problems or concerns. So, besides the...

I know it's hard to believe but you will feel normal in a few months. It seems like forever. I was so sick and even hospitalized at one point. I was depressed and even felt I would be better off...

Just search Bridget Kester. I followed you though.

What's everyone's pinterest name so I can follow you. Thanks.

Im obsessed with looking at food on Pinterest and pinning recipes. Is this a bad thing. Anyone else have this issue. One of my friends told me they had a cookbook obsession when they were anorexic....

I am 9 weeks out and this just started yesterday. Any time I eat or drink I get a brief wave of pain. It is center maybe left a little. I'd say the stomach. I always heard gallbladder pain is to the...

Thank you Ebony. I've been feeling down in the dumps about my sleeve today. Your story is my story....you've reminded me why I did this in the first place. I needed that!

But for 7 days? And worse each day.

I have had increasing diarrhea since getting out of the hospital last Thursday. Should I be tested for c diff? I wasn't on any antibiotics. Could I still get it? What else could it be? I also get...

I bought acidophilus pills. Is this the probiotic I should be taking? And how many times a day? Zantac isn't cutting it and I won't go back on a PPI.

What else will help with the acid? It's...

I just wanted to warn people out there....please take those vitamins! I would always forget or feel too sick. This past Sunday I couldn't walk or move without having to vomit. The room was spinning...

Has anyone tried making smoothies with the egg beater egg whites? Does this sit better than regular eggs?

Just wanted to follow up. I was in ER yesterday with dehydration and horrible vertigo. My SIL said it could be a side effect of the Prilosec. I googled it and yes, vertigo can be a side effect....

I'm with ya. I am nauseous all the time too. My favorite is the pedialyte pops...but the Rite aid brand because they are milder. And strawberry lemonade powerade watered down.

I'll try that. Thanks!

I have the same thing. I just don't think the PPI is lasting a full 12 hours. I take it at 8 am and need it again by 5-6pm. Then it stops working in he middle of the night I'm sure. I throw up acid...
