    Re: gas pains

    You may have tried adding spice/seasoning too soon. You need to take it slow. Your body had been through a lot! I know the bland flavor of the broth gets old fast...but hang in there.

    Anyone always feel "cold"?

    Hi all!
    I'm now a year out (YAY!) and doing great... except for the fact that I always seem cold!! Does anyone else seem to have that problem?
  3. Re: I just had my orientation for gastric sleeve surgery

    I, like you, went in to the orientation thinking lap band... but ended up choosing the sleeve, which my Dr. agreed with. Been very happy so far! Wwas sleeved on 9/3 and to date have lost about 83lbs.

    Re: so many vitamins

    I could not find a chewable or a liquid - though I was told that iron tastes nasty so maybe those wouldn't be the best option anyway. So I got a small tablet form from GNC - GNC Ultra Iron 65. It is...

    Re: Nothing tastes...right.

    I'm 19 days out and I can't find anything to drink that I like. I'm fine for the first few sips... then it tastes yucky! I've been told that with time it will pass.... but it's sooooo annoying!

    Re: I am Genuinely Scared

    You will be surprised how "easy" changing is. I was amazed. I'm not hungry at all. Nothing appeals to me. Things I used to love (ex: propel or diet coke) taste NASTY. All I can really drink is water....
