  1. I felt like that too early out. I was dehydrated. Don't be afraid go an Urgent care and get an IV and blood work done if you need it. You will have ups and downs but you will be Successful. I like that you have been active on this forum too. Be proactive in getting the care and follow up you need. Only a professional can check your blood levels Symptoms and treat you.many people had to get an IV if needed. If not push fluids protein and more walking. Good luck.

    Going Crackers?

    From what took me 5 1/2 months to learn Sliders foods will slow your weight loss! Look up slider foods vs Protein dense foods Wish I'd realize that sooner. Good luck

    New breast in MX

    Where is this doctor located? And how was his prices? Is you don't mind me asking
  9. I was stalling around 204lb up 1 pound then back down 1 for weeks. I had to go back to basics. I did the 5daypouchtest.com it work to decrease cravings for sliders. Popcorn OMG. I was addicted. Well that pouch test broke that carvings for sliders. Went from 204 to 199lbs by the 5th day. The goods news is I went into ketosis with it and lost another 2 pounds! Stalling again today but I understand more between dense protein in the pyloric sphincter vs sliders foods. I was eating like I had already lost all the weight. Before the pouch test. Lol

    4 weeks post op questions

    Well my Nut told me that people end up back in the hospital sick because a lack of protein. Syntax Nectar has many flavors you can try BJ bariatrics, I get mine from the Vitamin shoppe, and premier are my favorite. For the hunger and pain try a PPI Like Prilosec next call your Nut ASAP. Physician for the pain. Good luck!

    Congrats. Wow that's so Amazing having your partner be also some who is having the surgery too. Same diet nice, some one who first hand can understand you and help each other through. Lovely
  14. Sorry that this happened to you. But so glad you spoke up and caught that I give you the credit for that. Hope you feel better soon and is treated.
  15. I had unexpected issue that sprung up right before my surgery so I decided to only tell family. No body at work. Able to keep it a secret till 70 lbs later, boy do they ask, and ask, even got told they assumed that I had the sleeve surgery. Lol Well now I've even had to say it my business. Because of other issues health I'm keeping it private. Well after going through the constant barrage of questioning daily at work only, Had it to do over again I'd be open!!!!! I just even have to walk away from some people. Because of the privacy nature I chose. People will talk any way you cut it. On a flip side, I recently told my son girlfriend and and I was totally glad to tell. And had peace and praises!

    Post op 6 months

    I was stalling more and more so I started the 5daypouchtest.com I was 204lbs for like 2 weeks then after my theist was over I went to 199lbs Onerdland. Yay But it mostly cut my craving for Sliders like Popcorn, cashews, and Protein from fast foods. I learned to eat better and not like I'm already in maintenance. I've been eating like that for a few months. Lol Then afterwards I guess that diet put me into ketosis because I lost faster afterwards. Even you can re examine what you eat look for slider foods and just go back to basics.

  21. I can't say exact because each person is different. But each each week is different. I was shopping at 1 1/2 weeks with whatever energy I had. I so would keep in touch with your Nut if i were you, in this case because I found out That i needed vitamin b 12 and a mutil and calcium. Any time I skip protein and protein shakes to this day I'm weak even at 5 1/2 months out Good luck
