The blurry vision is a side effect of some of the anti-nausea medications that are used. If you had the scopolamine patch (little disc behind your ear), that causes massively blurred vision, even for...

Beautiful tattoo! You are truly living life to its fullest. Granddog is a cutie!
Wow - it sounds like such a fantastic adventure! All of the biking is incredible too. Can't believe you were able to do so much at only 2 months post-op. Truly inspiring! That is definitely a bucket...
I am going to look for a stretchy cami, sports bra, or bralette. It's been driving me nuts! Thanks for all the helpful replies
Welcome to the forum! I wholeheartedly agree with what all of the others have said. Getting the sleeve is the best money you'll ever spend. I am self-pay as well. I financed over 5 years in order to...
It's right around the corner now. So exciting! I know your nervous and it's perfectly normal. See you on the loser's bench!
Annie- my goodness! You look so incredibly different now, truly transformed. In your heavy picture you look like you are ill - your eyes are dull and distant, and you look about 10 years older (I...
I could do little more than wet my mouth early on. Any more than that and it hurt. I drank teeny, tiny sips every 1-2 minutes my first few days home. I even set a timer on my phone to remind me to...
This ^^^^ by sraeber says it all! It is physically impossible to over eat early on. You simply cannot get in more than just a few bites of food (at least I can't but I am only 4 weeks post op). If...
This is my support group too! In the comfort of my own home and I don't even need to put on a bra to participate.
BTW- Anyone else find bras uncomfortable post-op? Can't stand the feeling across...
I'm only 4 weeks out but I definitely get hungry, pretty much since day one. I also get ridiculous cravings. Was playing play-doh with my daughter earlier making burgers, hot dogs, french fries,...
What??? I didn't realize you could get these so cheap! That's fantastic! I have to keep my eye out for sales. 4th of July is coming up soon. BTW - check out the Skinnytaste website for some great air...
Sounds like I need to get my labs checked. My surgeon seemed to imply that my body had enough vitamins in reserve to hold me over for the first month. It sure doesn't feel that way! Also, I don't...
I am 24 days post op and just dragging all the time! I am so tired and am always on the verge of falling asleep. I have absolutely zero energy and have to stop to rest after any activity, even just...
Wow! Gorgeous and so stylish! Love the turquoise jewelry and the big bright smile! Still so beautiful Annie, inside and out
Yay!!!! So happy for you and glad everything is going so well. Welcome to the Loser's Bench!
Great post Annie! Very insightful, although I must tell you - I would KILL to be 140lbs right now, lol!
Sandra3 - Can you add in another drug to help reduce the dose of the PPI? How about adding in a Histamine-2 blocker like famotidine (Pepcid) or ranitidine (Zantac). There are also the "coating" drugs...
It's unfortunate, but all medications have side effects, sometimes lots of side effects. They interact with each other, and they interact with supplements, vitamins, and foods we ingest. They...
Hi Don and welcome to the site! Try to read and learn as much as you can about the surgery. Like the others have said, this is a great place for advice, support and encouragement. Lots of wonderful...
What Kenson and Cyndi said ^^^^^
I am 3 weeks today and I am also amazed at how much more I can drink now. I can take a large gulp or two or three at a time of water and not feel like I have a...
Sounds like you've had a hell of a time over the past few years. I am glad that you have the support of your son and a positive attitude. Glad you're here! This is a wonderful place for advice,...
Very cool! Would love to see pics too.
I went through the same thing. I can barely choke down the Premeir shakes now and the Isopure unflavored protein powder is sooooo nasty. Try the Genepro unflavored protein powder. It mixes, blends...
Probiotics are live strains of "good" or "helpful" bacteria and yeasts that improve the health and balance of bacteria in your digestive tract. Antibiotics kill off harmful bacteria at the site of an...
