Hi! June 29th it'll be a year since I had the sleeve...Well for the past few days I've been having really bad stomach pains..it feels like a hard knot in the top of my stomach and I'm really nauseated...Any ideas on what this may be..
-
Okay, I need some help! So I have a vitamin D deficiency and I have to take supplements once a week...I have severe head-aches & body aches...Do you think that this deficiency is causing this or something else? I will be one year out on June of this year.
-
Thanks everyone! I am only taking Vitamin D..I was never told that I needed any other supplements such as calcium and B-12....Hmmm! I had tons of lab work done and I was only lacking vitamin D..Everything else checked out normal.
-
Thanks everyone! Something just isn't right with my body!! Daily severe headaches & body aches..When bloodwork is done it just shows that I have the vitamin D deficiency..I'm also very cold all the time but I'm not anemic..ugh so frustrating!!!

10 months ago I had surgery and I've only lost 90 lbs. My friend had it done & we both weighed the same amount and she's already lost 135lbs. What am I doing wrong?? Please help because I am becoming discouraged! I need to start a diet maybe??

Is There A Second Part To The Sleeve?
DivaDee84 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just wondering..Is there a second part of the surgery we can do once we have the sleeve?? -
Thanks everyone for the encouragement!! :-) I really needed to hear this. I will get back on track and start my lifestyle change again.

Is There A Second Part To The Sleeve?
DivaDee84 replied to DivaDee84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for your advice! I really appreciate it and I will go back to square one and start over...I figured since I can only eat small amounts it would be okay for me to eat sweets but it just slows down my weight loss and makes me tired. Thanks again! :-) -

Is There A Second Part To The Sleeve?
DivaDee84 replied to DivaDee84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay so my surgery was on June 29, 2011 I do feel the restriction but I am NOT following a diet. I crave sweets & I'll eat them and that's it. I feel fatigue most of my days and I have really bad body aches and headaches. I need to get back on track and need guidance because I'm not happy with a 90 lb weight loss. -
Thanks so much!! I'm under TONS of stress and I crave sweets & I eat them. I do not drink enough and I know I'm not eating right, however, I do exercise 3 times a week but I know I could do more. I will change my eating habits because I do feel myself going back to my before surgery habits and that's not good at all. I need to start a diet or something. I'm just not happy with my results thus far.

Does anybody experience body aches & pains since being sleeved??
-
Sounds good to me..I will try that out! Thx! (:

Hey guys I need some help! I'm 8 months out & I'm dehydrated, I try to drink fluids but I know it's not enough, Ketones are present in my urine & I'm trying to decide if I should go to the ER or what?? I have bad headaches & feel tired all the time, just lay down most of the time! Helpppp!!!
-
Okay I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia...I went in & they did blood work & my sugar was 46...I am dehydrated & was told to just increase my fluids & see my dr ASAP, also I have a vitamin D deficiency and the dr gave me meds to take once a week for that! Ugh!
-
Thanks everyone for the great advice & feedback!! I'm actually on my way to the ER now to get checked out. I'll keep you all posted!! (:
-

DivaDee84 replied to mullet head's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel the same way! It's really weird, some days I almost forget to eat & other days I feel like I'm starving...Some days I eat two bites and I'm super stuffed other days I can eat 6 to 8 bites...I don't know what's wrong either lol I'm 8 months out... (null) -

My stomach makes gurgling noises & I just feel really sick..It's anything that I eat not just certain foods..I'm not getting in all of my nutrients!! Helppppppp someone!!!!
