Hi. There wasn’t a message in my inbox so I thought I’d correct myself on the thread. (You can message me anytime though.) I mistakenly said to go to iTunes. Instead, go to the App Store. Click search then type in lolo. You’ll see a lot of apps that are not the app you want like games, puzzles...keep scrolling down until you see one that is health/exercise-related. One of their apps now is something like weight-control protein. Once you find one click on it. Then you’ll see dots in upper-right handside. Click on those dots and other lolo apps will appear. Sorry for my mistake. I hope you can find them now. If not, let me know please.

I had my post op visit on 2/22/18 and everything went really well. I am down -19lbs since my surgery on 2/12/18. [emoji6] My doctor said to focus on hydration and exercise. [emoji108] I am happy with those results and trying to push myself into a healthier mentality. Like getting up to exercise, drinking water everywhere I go, getting to bed at a decent time, resisting the foods that got me here, etc. I really want a Philly Cheesesteak.[emoji31] [emoji23] Sleeved on 2/12/18

Try really hard to stick with it a few days and you likely will be satisfied again with the small amounts. I find carbs = cravings. It's very unlikely you stretched anything (most surgeons say it's not possible beyond a small amount)

That's a lot of weight to lose in your first 10 days! Sounds like things are off to a really good start. Nah, you don't really want that cheesesteak, you just think you do. It's also good that you're working to establish a routine. That will be helpful later on.

I have had muffins and I get dumping syndrome every time. It is one of the few things that gives me dumping syndrome. It doesn't happen right away--about 2 hours later I get a little shaky, lightheaded, and nauseous. I actually feel like I'm going to pass out. I never do of course. It only last about 10-15 minutes but it is a bit weird. I wish I had never started with a muffin. Once you do, it opens yourself to having them again and again. You would do yourself a HUGE favor if you don't have any. Seriously.

Hopefully it’s something simple... Most antibiotics cause major nausea if taken without food, so depending on what’s going on maybe that is playing a role. I have heard when you stop a PPI you can have a bit of a surge in acid, so that could do it too. Let us know what the DR says and I hope you feel better. If they want you to stick it out a bit ask for dissolvable Zofran.

Do you see the makeup I forgot to rub in? That is why those men were staring deep into my eyes lol My daughters tell me, " Mom, you're "too much" Lol Maybe so But I am free Lol

People are people...they're gonna think weird crap about everything. As the song goes....you can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself. My loose skin is goofy. Yep, I look a little like melted cheese. LOL But I look dang good in clothes these days, and even a bathing suit...so that's pretty cool:) My hubby is all about thinner me...then again...he was all about fatter me, too...so that hasn't changed much. In new relationships, I can see where it could be awkward, but people are pretty understand really. Everyone has something, you know? Cleanliness is no issue. Just shower. And ultimately, if it bothers you....there's skin surgery somewhere down the road if you want it. It's kind of a nonissue for me. Others might feel different.

Yes I had no butt after wls. Had it combined with my lower body lift.

Yes, don’t expect pounds to fly off the first week or two. Give your body the time it needs to heal from your surgery, then you will see some weight loss. The same thing happened to me.
