CBT

You all are totally doing this! In July this goal seemed so so so far away interlaced with thoughts of doubt: will I make it? Can I do it? Will it all stop working? Rock your sleeve!

Two days with UHC! They called me as well as drs office. I was do freakin happy and terrified. Lol. Congratulations to you newly approved! OP it really could be Monday...Er...Tuesday if Monday is a holiday for them?

I'm challenged. Do you cook the oatmeal or is it raw? I actually eat oat meal and cottage cheese mixed in a bowl pre workout. My family thinks I'm nuts. This pancake is awesome!!!

My fitness pal

I had a major hernia repair 3 months post sleeve. I have no comorbidities.

He updated MFP today :-)

I haven't read through all these posts. You certainly can ask Aetna to investigate.

Track back to adding celexa to Wellbutrin.

You need to get that checked out. Do you sweat at lower heart rate? If you are moving into heat exhaustion or stroke you will stop sweating. But no sweating ever is a good thing to talk to a physician about.

Sometimes it's such our challenge to learn to take care of ourselves after not doing it for so long. Add a fever and making decisions is hard. I do think you ought to go to the ED.

My understanding is that we develop allergies over the life span. We develop allergies to things we previously have not been allergic to as our body increases its his one response to an irritant. For example when I was a teen, the owner of the pizza company I worked for developed a severe Allergy to flour! I hope he gets a good referral to an allergist and some instruction about how to stay safe. A list of typical allergens would also be helpful. Get well soon!

Everything for reason! Heal well!

It takes 3500 calories to gain/lose a pound. Do you think you overate that much? life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

The number one predictor of long term (2+ years) success is regular exercise. There is a connection between this and lifestyle changes as well as reduction in depression associated with emotional eating. life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

I had Water aversion twice during early recovery. I adjusted the water temp and that helped the first time along with sips. The second time that didn't work and I added Sobe Lifewater for about a month! I'm 5 months post op and drinking room temp plain water again. life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

Sounds like you got too full. If you get pain in the breast bone you have had too much or not chewed. Since you are drinking CoW I'd say slow waaaayyy down and try an ounce over a half hour. Butter may be a bad idea. Some ppl really can't tolerate grease. Try again! Good luck. life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

Several women in a different VSG group who are 5 months out are having leg cramps from lack of potassium per their docs. Because its traveling, I would read the criteria for blood clots/DVT just to be safe. The sensations are different. life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

That sounds more like you would benefit from a PPI like Prilosec. Really slow sips over a looooong time. You're sleeve is swollen and easily irritated. Temperature may help too. Cold Fluid versus warm/hot, for example. The surgical gas happens independent of eating or drinking. Happy Healing!
