THANKS!!!!!

Sorry ... I'm in Wallymart with a KILLER headache ... don't feel like reading through to find the answer. Can I pop these pills ... or should I get a different brand?? HELP!!!!

Soooo Thanksgiving was rough for me .... I honestly felt sad because I couldn't eat. I was happy that I couldn't buuut I just missed the food. I didn't measure my food I just put a little bit of this/that on my plate and couldn't eat 1/2 of it ... heck I couldn't even eat a fourth of it. I did enjoy my friends but ... couldn't help mourning my old friend ... food. I know I had too many carbs because I didn't start with Proteins. I was kind of scared to weigh myself because I felt that i'd gained. Today I weighed myself and my suspicions were confirmed. I'm not gonna trip out about the gain ... just making note of it and the cause and moving forward.

I had surgery Aug.17 2011. I used to weigh myself every day but it was driving me CRAZY now I get on the scale every Sat morning ... Sun if I forget to do it Sat. Aug. 4 started pre op diet - Aug 19 first weigh in after surgery (during leak test): - 12lbs Aug. 27: -9.6 lbs Sept. 8: -2.4 lbs Sept. 17: -3.5 lbs Sept. 24: 4.3lbs Oct. 1: -4lbs Oct. 7: -1.2 lbs Oct. 15: -3.4 lbs Oct. 22: -3.2 lbs Oct. 29: -0.8 lbs Nov.6: - 4.8 lbs Nov. 13: - 6 lbs

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm only 2 months out and not preggers so I can't answer any questions. I'm hoping to be in your current situation next year so ... I'll take notes from you. lol

I too need to lose the love handles & bottom belly. I don't have a hernia so as far as I know I need to do cardio, cardio, cardio. I hope someone answers...

It's funny you said that @ lyndynojo. I've been thinking about everything I've eaten/drank and things I've done differently. As I walked into my room just now my eyes went directly to my drink of choice for the past few weeks ... OceanSpray sugar free Cran-Pomegranate drink mix. It's very, very dark once it's mixed in my 16.9oz Water bottle its dark purple. It even turns my lips a dark red color. I don't know if my lack of eating has anything to do with things?? I can honestly say for the last few weeks I only eat when I get really hungry. I never really got into a "good" routine and lately I've strayed even further away. Daily I might eat 1/2 cup of ff cottage cheese, and a chicken leg from El Pollo Loco or a Protein shake and a leg/wing from El Pollo Loco. Honestly after my breakup & the fact that I can't seem to find a job I haven't been in the greatest of spirits. On a positive I have been taking my B12 & Multivitamin more consistently.lol I will probably follow up with a Dr. as soon as I can.

Thanks ... I too am a hypochondriac and have scoured the internet for info. I'm here asking if this has happened to anyone else. I understand that this is an issue that should be diagnosed by a Dr. Just wanted to know if others have gone through it. Thanks for info.

First let me give my apology in advance because this is TMI ... I'm embarressed to even posting this. However I reaaalllyyy want/ need to know if this has happened to anyone else. I normally go 2-3 times per week if that, this is all my life. However the past week & a 1/2 I've been going almost every day ... sometimes 2x's per day. This in itself is weird to me. Then add in the fact that its a weird green color and a very small amount each time. Then yesterday & today there was a little bit of blood. I'm still looking for a job so I don't have insurance right now. However I'm considering going to the Dr. and praying he doesn't have to run too many tests. :-( This is the first time in my life that I have had to even think about "if" I was going to go to the Dr. I'm used to being able to just go to the Dr. whenever I need to. This SUUUUUUCKS!!! Has this issue happened to anyone else???

Squirt, Ruby Red Squirt or Canada Dry Ginger Ale right now. Seriously ... I haven't had a pop since I started my preop diet Aug 4. I want one soooooooooo bad. I really just need a drink with a kick!! I'd even take one of those carbonated waters from Walmart. Heeeeeelp!!!! How do you deal with the cravings???

Makes perfect sense @ Sassy. The surgery really makes you notice portion sizes and how ginormous they are. A friend of mine warned me of this presurgery.

NOTE to self .... no matter how good it looks never EVER try the dessert. Uuuuuggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh horrible sick to my stomach feeling. I'm confident it was the too sweet dessert. Uuuggghhhhh I still love my sleeeve....

Went out to dinner with my daughter for her birthday. I really can't believe the difference in the amount of food I eat. I make my daughter split an entree with me (don't judge me) when we go out to eat ever since surgery. The portions are huge so ... we both end up with enough. Anywho ... got the free chips & queso ... I ate may 7. We got the chicken fajitas for dinner and I had 2 chicken strips & some cheese, sour cream,onions & bell peppers. I ate the 2 strips of chicken & a little bit of the other stuff but left most on my plate. My daughter got the chocolate cookie w/ icecream for her birthday. I tasted it. Pre Surgery would have been a whoooooooole different post!!! I freakin love this sleeve!!!!

I'm looking forward to buying a bra at VC's!
