Ms skinniness

Wouldn't want to hurt your stomach! LOL Great news and congrats!

You are absolutely right! It is well worth it though!

It will get better every day. Just take it one day at a time and walk as much as possible. CONGRATS! Welcome to the BIG LOSER'S BENCH!

I use to get hives when I was highly stressed. Took benadryl too and they went away! But like Lissa says, it's best to check with the surgeon first since surgery in coming up really soon.

I was shedding hair at around 3 months post op and finally stopped shedding at 7 months post op. I was taking biotin and silica which helps with hair and nail regrowth. Man I've had hair growth in places I didn't want it too grow plus have to do some extra grooming now. LOL I love that my hair is finally growing.

This sounds so delicious! Thank you for sharing.

WLS is such a blessing in disguise! I love my sleeve. I just worry too much about gaining the weight back. On a good note, I am really working on eating slower! An enjoying my food.

It really sounds to me like you are dehydrated. I know you had an appt with your surgeon and he/she would have picked up on this, but it doesn't seem like they did. I might suggest uping your water intake with the protein intake too. It couldn't hurt. I might also drink some low calorie G2 Gatorade to help replace some of your electrolytes. All and all, this couldn't hurt any. I got dehydrated somewhat and got dizzy and almost fainted. If your dehydrated it can cause your blood to thicken and your heart rate to become low also. It is also known to cause fatigue. I'm not a doctor, but I am an advocate for hydrating ourselves.

Coops: So glad your back! I'm now in a funk, but need to get back into my positive zone. We will have periods like that and we just need to work through them. Hugs across the pond!

I use to eat the sugar free pudding. it is delish! Now I drink my protein shakes. BTW, we don't have a pouch, we still have about 15% of our stomach.

Kysia: Aren't you worried about getting a leak in your staple line? It's not completely healed until 6 months out and right now your staple line is just scabbing over. ???????

So proud of you! You have Rocked that Sleeve! Doesn't it feel good to be successful? CONGRATS!

Wow! When was your surgery? I really would like to know an answer for this too!

The PPI's started working within a week for me. I take omeprazole 2 times a day.

VJSLIM: Yes this is me. I got brave and had my daughter take a pic and I posted it.

Now that's an NSV! CONGRATS!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You will do great! Let us know how you do.

No problem with driving if your not taking pain meds. When you go walking, do you have a binder you can wear to give your stomach some support? that would help a 1,000 times. Keep it up.

It sounds so delicious! What to choose from? I am so hungry and I've already devoured all my calories. Oh well, tomorrow is another day!

I was watching the Dr's Show today and they were discussing eating with our hands and how that slows us up in eating. I thought that was interesting and that is what I will be doing for now on. Eating with my hands and I am even going to play with it! That will slow me down. If it doesn't then I'll have my hubby tie my right hand behind my back! LOL

This sounds so good. I will have to make some.

I highly recommend that you drink some low calorie G2 Gatorade. It helps prevent dehydration.

I'm so excited tomorrow is your day! You will do great! Saving a spot on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH for you!

I know you said you don't think this is acid. If I was you, I would try taking something like prilosec, nexium, or other PPI's with your Dr's consent. I know that I wasn't told by my surgeon to take this and I was always hungry. When I finally started taking my omeprazole, my hunger went away. I also was getting my hunger triggers and my thrist triggers mixed up. Now I make sure I get in my water before eating. This is just a suggestion, you have only something to gain to try this. It pretty much sucks to be hungry all the time. I know, I was there. Best Wishes!
