Thanks... I didn't get this until recently and I am now 7+mths out... I am 39 (40 in April) and I did start thinking it was menopause type symtoms, that scared me 'cos I am frightened that it will slow my weight loss even further! After a bad flush I get really tired and sleepy... then after 30mins or so I am ok... someone also mentioned blood pressure? (am really stressed in work at the moment!) I have booked an apptment with my doc so I will let you know what he says x

Food tolerances many months post op
coops replied to MissyG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a tad over 7mths out now and I have been really lucky... there is nothing I can't eat or tolerate ... so far so good =] -
Hey meggiep, why can't you have coffee? I drink coffee pretty much on a daily basis... it is generally decaf with skimmed milk and sometimes 1/2 a sugar, sometimes not! When I was in hospital straight after my op, I had a milky coffee before I left! I don't drink the fancy coffees at the moment, but that is choice rather than postop advice... and that is cos they have too many carbs for me at the moment! Not sure if that helps?! =/

Thanks to all the Sleevers and others
coops replied to genepha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Genepha, I agree, this is an excellent place to visit for support and encouragement and down-right-positive attitudes. I haven't seen any other boards and didn't find this place until I was post op... but I am glad I did, better late than never! To be honest, there are times when I can't really express how I feel to others in my physical world 'cos they haven't had the sleeve, they weren't morbidly obese... here however, there are a lot of like minded peeps who know exactly where I am coming from! Glad you also enjoy this great place! -

Body chemistry changes with weight loss
coops replied to lisaenidok's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Interesting post... I have to say over the last 2-3 mths I have noticed my moods are a little strange... I put it down to work? Hmmmm? Now I wonder...? -
Hello, As per my post op directions I am following the Protein first rule; but I am wondering if there is a time when that changes? Is it a forever thing? Do I do this just while I am losing? Will there ever be a time, in the near future, when I can eat my veggies first? Any long term sleevers out there with some wisdom for me?! Thanks in advance =]

It is in our heads... and it does effect us, but we have to keep on with the positive thoughts and trust ourselves to make the right choices and trust the sleeve to do the rest! I am not one for New Years resolutions, but I sorta promised myself that I would be kinder to myself, especially in the body image/weight loss dept!! Good luck and keep up the good work =]

scale hasn't moved in a MONTH
coops replied to teh ericka's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey,.. don't be discouraged! 64lb in 4mths IS amazing... I am 7 mths out at 50+ lbs so you are going really well!! I agree with the others, shake things up a little... make sure you are getting your protein first, reduce carbs if poss and drink a lot of water! I find the water really helps me if I don't lose for longer than 2 weeks... what exercise are you doing? Perhaps you are losing inches? Let us know how you get on and good luck! =] -
Missed period and thinning hair. Anyone else?
coops replied to newmoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hiya newmoo... yep on both accounts.!! I started to lose hair around 3 1/2 mths but got really bad about 5mths ... I am 7mths now and there is hair growing back but it is coming out albeit slower... I have no bald patch and my hair dresser said that it isn't as bad as I think! I have had a much shorter cut done to get me through the next 6mths or so though, but now I have a slimmer face it looks quite nice! My periods are all over the place, I was hoping my cycle would be back to normal once the weight started to come off... but not so far!! -
hahahahahahaaaaaa.... there are plenty of sites on the internet for that sorta thing....lol
