    Seizures?

    A few weeks ago, I had a seizure while driving and totaled my car. I wasn't seriously injured and I didn't hit anyone else, thank god. My vitamins were checked in the hospital as well as my...

    Re: GLUE? And head hunger

    Definitely ask your surgeon. I know they are making advances every day, so maybe they did glue you up. I had a drain, while my friend did not. (I'm actually glad I had the drain because her swelling...

    Re: Bruising After Surgery - Help please

    I had the same experience as Honeyroasted. I looked like I'd been used as a punching bag by Mike Tyson. It was lower, around the shot sites. It was a good six weeks before they completely faded.

    Re: GLUE? And head hunger

    I wasn't clear- were you talking about glue on the inside or outside? I've had tons of surgery, but the only staples I've ever had were to hold my stomach together after getting sleeved. Everything...

    Re: Quitting soda

    Oh, Mountain Dew. To me, it's sort of like that boyfriend you wonder what you ever saw in. I loved Mt Dew. I drank it all day, everyday. I'm seven months "clean" now and treat myself to lime flavored...

    Re: Medications and weight loss

    Depakote will do that to do. Hopefully something else will work for you. Now that I've lost so much weight, my pain is almost gone.

    My nutritionist told me the same thing, but I followed instructions to the letter and still lost hair.

    Re: Medications and weight loss

    Yep, I did lose. It's been just over seven months and I'm pretty much where I want to be at. In regards to the psychiatric meds, I'll always need to be on them (bipolar) I just have to be aware of...

    Re: Ugh...

    It's a huge change. I think (for me) it was important that they knew everything. I wanted to be as successful as possible if I had so much of my stomach removed.

    I took psychiatric drugs that caused a lot of weight gain for me (I'm looking at you, seroquel.) Anyhoo, after surgery, since absorption is changed, my meds were changed and I was switched to...

    Hmm. That's interesting. I guess every nutritionist has their own method. And yeah, your stomach WILL stretch, but not to the point it was. A bit of stretching is normal. Otherwise how would...

    Re: bloated and uncomfortable

    I didn't go for a week after. It caused a blockage and I ended up back in the hospital. I would call your surgeon to ask if a laxative would be okay. That colace was a joke for me.

    You drove YOURSELF home after general anesthesia?! That's really major anesthesia for an endoscopy! Are you sure it wasn't sedation?
  21. Re: My endoscopy is scheduled for Thursday... Sort of nervous for it!

    Took me a year. Honestly, though, it took me that long to make sure I was making the right decision (I was.) I wanted to make sure I was fully committed.

    Oh, and not to scare you, but if you are...

    Re: Protein Supplements vs Food Protein

    Ketones (is that what you meant by "key tones?") spilling isn't a bad thing unless you're diabetic. I spill ketones regularly and supposedly that's an indication that your body is burning fat.

    Oh, me too. This is the largest amount of calories I've had since surgery. It's due to the two protein bars I had today, but I am desperate to get all the protein I need in. I think I'll limit myself...
