Strong smelling urine (and dark yellow in colour) is usually caused by dehydration. However, see a Dr and have it tested! You are far better off not leaving it until other symptoms appear.

Hi all. I haven't yet been sleeved, but I am wondering how others (post-op) cope with premenstrual cravings? I turn into a sugar demon and was wondering (a) if it still happens and ( how have you coped?

Great thankyou

I'm in Aus - so there's a possibility I wasn't even aware that egg white powder existed....

Has anyone tried A2 milk? It is a different protein to regular (A1) milk, and more gentle on stomachs...... I'm really interested in the egg white powder. What is the brand?

I found Implanon was really good. Tiniest minimal scar after being removed.

I believe so. Not all fruits are created equal with regard to how much sugar they contain.

I know with my last c-section there was a bit I just had to trim off, it was really irritating

Off colour humour? I'd call her foul-mouthed. butterthebean, she's awful! She did do well With the sleeve though

I didn't know who she was, so I googled her. Yes she looks very good, but some of her quotes indicate she's probably not very funny.

Pretty sure she wasn't joking...

Find a "wellness" one. Mine said that as our body becomes out of alignment, it interferes with the signals that get sent around the body. (it's after 7. I don't do technical after 7..) Oh - but a killer headache after the first session...don't let that put you off if you go ahead with it

Cookeeez have you considered trying a wellness chiropractor - one who treats your entire self vs symptom care? I found my anxiety symptoms were tremendously improved after 2 treatments, altogether gone after a couple more. Sciatica controlled, muscle stiffness and hip pain gone. I felt GOOD. Better than good actually!

I'm absolutely addicted. Not so much food, as addicted to sugar. I feel the high, subsequent low, and then high when I eat more. I eat it until I feel sick. Pre-menstrual I can double my normal intake. And now that I have a surgery date, every day is my 'last meal.' consequently, I've put on several kg in just a few weeks. I'm about to google and see if Aus has an overeaters anonymous or similar. Now.....where was that packet of caramel jerseys?

I sometimes get a soft fine blondish fuzz, especially across my jawline. Courtesy of my last pregnancy, and 3 years later still happens. I use an epilator which works well. I can't tolerate using the epilator on my legs, but face is fine.

Get some antihistamine into you

It is unusual that she hasn't been on. I don't think she'll mind....

I think that's the way I'll go..... And probably only one a day to start with lol not THAT keen

Thanks Cookeeeeez. I hadn't even heard of it until today.

Has anyone tried Whey-Less? It looks like it might be an option. Decent protein, low sodium, average carbs. I'm thinking I need to start a self-imposed pre-op. Since booking a date, I reckon I've gained 3-4kg. I'm too scared to weigh.

Tired and cranky can be attributed to your body withdrawing off the sugar and processed carbs. Nasty - but you know it's working! Stick with it!
