Ketosis is probably the culprit. I thought it would never go away, but it did! Just keep pushing the liquids and try adding flavorings.

Chris,
I haven't been here on forums for a long time. I popped in and your post was the first one I saw. I am about 18 months out. I dropped 85 pounds and have stayed here and happy with my current...
You will be amazed how much younger you will feel. My stamina and energy is better than I ever could have dreamed of. I am definitely 20 years younger than one year ago.
I couldn't have handled it either. My preference would be to reschedule but you'll have to make that decision.
Some people have high cholesterol due to genetics. I lost over 80 pounds and was able to get off the drug. However we are monitoring my cholesterol for the next few months since it is just barely...
I have always been a coffee snob. I like a good roast and drink it black. On occasion I would get a latte from a coffee shop. Last week I discovered that I could tolerate lattes. Up to this point I...
I just don't understand some of these insurance companies. I have decreased back, leg, foot, and hip pain. My depression is clinical and will never go away completely, but has improved greatly. My...
Definitely is. Both of my daughters are phlebotomist. They said it is sometimes difficult to find veins on obese patients.
You look just beautiful!
I think at about 8 months I was able to tolerate most foods. In the beginning smelling certain food turned my stomach and I knew to not try eating them. Eggs were definitely one of those foods. At...
I had to use the lovenox injections for several weeks. I had the compression cuffs on my legs that squeeze my legs periodically. It is also important to walk as much as you can tolerate. Also do not...
WANGAL: That sounds like a huge bill compared to what a lot of other people paid. Definitely overbilled.
Yup
I'm sure glad I didn't have to pay that bill!
Good way to look at it.
I got a message from her too. I'm glad all is well.
I'm glad everything is going so well for you. It is just the beginning of your journey. Exciting times are coming your way!
It took me a year due to insurance company carrier changes. I was all...
Mine was close to $225,000.00 Really! That was not a typo. I only paid $188.00 I am so thankful for that.
So I read this whole thread again and realized I kind of hijacked it. Sorry!
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. I wonder when people suddenly disappear, not that I post all the time. Maybe people turn into lurkers once they are doing well on their own.
Forty pounds is a great loss. Enjoy your journey!
Keep in touch. Don't stress about 5 pounds. You will have stalls down the road. It happens to all of us. The pre-op can be a tough one. I can't remember back that far and it will soon be in the past...
Hi Pam! I am 59 and had it done one year ago. When I was ready I knew it. I was so fed up with myself. My physical health was really suffering, and my mental health wasn't the greatest either. I wish...
I am one year post-op. I have been on Nexium for 10 years. I have not found any other medication to control GERD. I was concerned about the sleeve because it can cause acid reflux. I still take my...
I had a psych evaluation which included a long series of questions. I read the question and then filled in the bubble for the answer. The results came back a couple weeks later, and I sat down with...
I haven't seen any posts from username Munegirl. I thought she was having challenges post op and not moving along as she had hoped. I might be totally off base here, but she used to post daily.
