I have a body part I might name after you. I will give you a clue. It puckers but you don't wear lipstick on it.

How do you do that 'Ignore User' thing again?

OMG, Lipstick, I hate you! May your period get heavier than the heaviest flood and last for eternity!!!!!!!!

You're a crazy woman. No chocolate or ice-cream for me, I'm a savory girl.

Thanks, I'm honored! And long may I live...

A lot of people experience this. It is usually near the biggest cut. It's the muscle healing and usually settles fairly quickly.

Are you drinking a lot of water? It could be dehydration or a urinary tract infection.

I think I need to now seek help for this problem. Any suggestions of miracle cures would be greatly appreciated.

Smarty, it was supposed to say sweat. I hate auto-correct! (But I agree, there's nothing like a good swat!). So Lipstick, did you want to give the world an update on how your period is progressing?

I have dragged this thread back out because I am still seeing people who need to declare this problem. I finally revealed this problem to my partner, he was not impressed. My Granddaughter thinks I am a champion. She wants to take me for show and tell next week.

I wish you lots of luck. But also, fate. I know of so many people like you who gave up and then the miracle happened. Concentrate on your health and your relationship. It will happen when it is not your mayor focus.

Another tool or another eating disorder? This whole thing is not healthy and does not promote the healthy eating diet prescribed after this surgery. Maybe I am not the perfect person to say this but I know that LauraVen is and the fact that people like 'feedyoureye' has drawn someone like her into this stupidity tells me that those of us who have been sleeved are still vulnerable with regard to our weight and we need to have a lot of strength to just stay on target with ad ice from our surgeons rather than being fooled by charlatans.

Oh ok. Then I will swap your period for my hot flushes and night swats. See, I can be nice too!

No, don't do that Nicole.. Pop on over to the 'Ignore User' thread and read the last few pages.

Keep your darned period! I've been there, done that!

I am not trying to put a dampened on this, but I don't get it. From what I read, the key to this fasting thing is that you can only eat 25% of the calories you usually eat. But it is based on the standard being 2000 cal/day. I am sure you ladies are not usually eating 2000cal/day.

There are all different colored roses in this world. Some smell better than others but you can usually find something nice about them all. How's that for deep and meaningful? Lipstick, don't waste calories on cakes and sweets, have a White Russian.

Where is the review section? Couldn't you just put a 'Review your doctor' sub-heading under the 'tell your gastric sleeve story' Section.

Have a question! Why do you guys talk in kilometers when you run but pounds when you weigh? And another...have you noticed that Laura has more posts than you Alex? Sorry, I am off topic again.

Does anyone know how to do this on an I-pad?

Wouldn't it be better to have 100 calories every 2 hours so that your metabolism doesn't go into shock. Still the same amount of calories but you will burn them faster.

Fasting? As in, no food at all?
