that exactly right, the carbon can cause your sleeve to stretch

Congratulations this was my main reason for having the surgery as well, Pre surgery were your cycles abnormal? if so after how many pds did you notice regular menstration with out medication

Well cardio increases ines metabolism so if you want to see a change in your weight loss you may want to evaluate your carb intake as well as increase the amount of cardio activity that you are getting.

Hey have you had surgery yet?If not do you have a date yet? My doc said that for the first 6 months I could expect to lose 6 to 10 pds a month, then it will taper off to 2 to 4 pds a month. I have a foot injury that keeps me from being able to excercise right now because I am in a cast, but when I am able I will incorporate some excercise and strength trainging as well. really going to focus on the strength training to help me skin bounce back.

It could also be temperture of the food that you are intaking., whether its too hot or too cold.

Yes, my doc recommended Tynelol and I actually got some after surgery in case I needed it

I think for now wthat we are really supposed to focus on getting the suggested amount of protien in followed by veggies and the carbs, which I can say I honestly try to do when ever I have a balanced meal for example Sunday i had meatloaf, string beans, and mashed potatos and I ate them in that order. Now for breakfast today I must have been hungry I had two turkey sausage patties (13 grams of protien) and 2 boiled egg whites ( 9 grams of proten) so my breakfast was 22 grams of protien out of the suggested 40 to 60 grams..

Thank you for the support, yes when I went to my group class last week to talk about the foods that we should and should not have when starting solid food my nutrionist/dietician advised us to stay away from all soft breads for not until we were three months out She did say that toast would be fine and I have had toast on several occasions and did not experience any problems. We were also advised that we could not eat anything crunchy right now including pickles, lettuce, any raw vegetables, or fruit with the skin on it. I was a little dissappointed in this. I actually enoy eating salads.

I had my first post op appointment today. I had alot of questions and as far as the scale goes I didnt know what to expect. Ive lost 17pds in three weeks. My one month anniversary is the 17th. I am able to pretty much eat anything that I want just small portions at a time. I dont have any trouble with keeping my food down or anything like that. I wanted to share this news with someone but I wanted to expess it with someone that would appeciate it. Good luck all Everyday truely gets better.

Self confidence and self esteem comes from within. If you do not know your worth no one else will either. If you have self esteem issues or you are shy I suggest getting a journal and write your most intimate thoughts. Another assignment is write qualities that you like about yourself or things that you are good at like researching, bravery, pretty feet, etc. Start loving you and appreciating yourself do not wait until the weight comes off start now. The weight does not fix the inside. Know that you are beautiful.

I burp alot and sometimes after I eat or drink I know that I need a good burp, but it often has to come naturally. I feel alot better when it does too. I had my surgery on 9/17.

I also have PCOS like many of you, averagely speaking does anyone mind saying how many pounds they lost before they saw their cycles start to return to normal?

Well I actually had surgery in September. The gas can really be something else. I have a injured foot and it was a little hard for me to get up and move around, but move around if nothing but walking in the yard as much as possible. moving pushes the gas out and makes it easier to drink your fluids in the beginning.

I am 2.5 weeks out from my surgery and I often think that I too eat too much, for example, today I had a 4 to 6 oz protien shake for breakfast some chicken broth w saltine crakers for lunch. Dinner was chicken and stars soup, and I also had about 5 pieces of sandwich meat with cheese and I have had water to drink today with a 8oz glass of juice. I know I am a little further out than you but I still get a little concerned.
