    Headaches ! Help

    It is probably mild dehydration. Make sure you are sipping water all day long. I found that smart water and vitamin water zero really helped. I found warm/room temperature helped too. Also keep track of your thyroid. I was getting migains at 6 months out and found that my thyroid meds were too high. Don't be afraid to take some liquid Tylenol or fast melts. Your body is healing. Good Luck
  2. Try warm liquids and soups. My stomach spasmed after cold and I mistook it for hunger. Yes, my stomach is alot noiser. It talks all the time and I am almost a year out.

    Migraines?

    Yes, I have had some issues with migrains. Make sure the dr. is checking your thyroid levels. Mine were way out of wack which was causing my migraines. Good luck.

    Back Pain......

    Yes, this has been happening to me. I get chiropractic adjustments and massages. This really helps. My chiropractor gave me stretches and back strengthing exercises which seem to help.

    I Need A Drink!

    The way it was explained to me is ....you want your food to stay in your stomach so you can stay full. If you dring water, it washes your food to you intestine so you don't stay full and want to eat more.
  6. Good Question! I am 4 months out and have lost 3 sizes on the bottom and only 1 size on top. My bras fit better now, so I guess I was wearing the worn size before surgery.
  7. Hi, I am 2 months out and still cannot tolerate cold drinks. They cause stomach spasms. Does this go away?

    Food Smells Different.

    Yes, but not the the extent that you are experiencing. My sense of smell is more acute and I am much more sensitive to food textures too.

    Popcorn ?

    I am 12 weeks out and have had popcorn 3 times. I have not had any difficulty but I chew it very well and don't stuff handfulls in my mouth like I did before surgery.

    I Wish Someone Had Told Me....

    I wish I would have known that.... The cotton mouth would be horrendous in the hospital. I wasn't allowed to drink after until I had a leak test which was a total of 33 hours! I was going to be sent home with a pharmacy. I was sent home with liquid Loratab (yuck!!), an acid reducer,2 types of nausea tablets, nausea/vomitting suppositories, and perscription vit. D. ( I am extremely deficient) ( all the nausea meds are "just in case") AND.... that I had to crush all pills until 6 weeks. The nurses told me the crushed pills were better in applsauce. I disagree, They are better in yogurt, it hides the taste better, Just remember, however difficult your hospital stay/first week may seem, You will survive and do well. I am 7 weeks out and do not regret my decision at all!
  12. Add my 44 so total for December 2011= 99
  13. I am a teacher. I took 3 weeks off. The week that I returned, I was worn out at the end of the day. My doctor put me on a 5 pound weight restriction for 6 weeks. Meaning I couldn't lift more than 5 pounds.This is to safeguard against hernias.

    Leg Cramps

    Before surgery, I used to get leg cramps when I was dehydrated and low on calcium. I suggest that you get it checked out to make sure it isn't a clot.
