If you have already had the sleeve done you can not take anti-inflammatories. This will cause ulcers. Check with your doctors again.

You should have been notified that you would have mood swings after surgery. Your chemicals are all messed up right now. It will get better with time. As for 3 weeks out and having to hold the inceasion???? I never had that, I would check with your doctor. You can't go back so find a way to move forward and be happy with each step you take. Good luck to you.

Tired of women leaving me for the "cute skinny guy"
Veruca Salt replied to Justinh125's topic in Rants & Raves
You are never going to change other people so concentrate on yourself. You don't know if they left because of the guys build or maybe it was your insecurities. Work on yourself and find a way to love yourself with no one in it. This whole thing is about you. Accept it as a girf to yourself (you are allowed to do that) and it will make you grow and be happerier about you. Love will come your way just let it happen. Don't go looking for it and don't force it. Funny, things have a way of working out in the long run. -

Those of you that experienced hair loss: How did you deal with it?
Veruca Salt replied to Daydra's topic in The Gals' Room
I was so worried about my hair falling out I had nightmares. I would sit up in bed and all my hair would still be on the pillow. Thank god it is not that bad. I have a little thining but nothing you can notice. I am luck to have thick hair and when a few stains fall out I can hide it well. I see some people have posted some extreme post back to you but I have never heard of anyone being so bad off they needed wigs or anything like that. Good luck to you and don't worry you will be fine. -

PLEASE HELP! Serious Advice Needed!
Veruca Salt replied to k95's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As you stated it is not like before surgery. I don't get hungery but I feel very empty inside. I have to remind myself to eat because I work 3rd shift and it makes it hard to eat right. As for the first part of the questions, You will hit stalls and you may see that even though you don't see the scale falling does not mean you are not losing. You can lose inches and not lose wieght. I am going to say that is what is happening. Don't panic just yet. You can up your protein, increase your calories, and start exercising. At 2 months out I was back to full time exercise. Try going out and walking. -
Please keep the information coming. I am considering it right now since I can not take the pill or use IUD's.

I really need some support :(
Veruca Salt replied to a_jap21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am sorry that you are having a terrible post surgery. Please for your health and future stop drinking and eating the sugar stuff. All you are going to do is hurt yourself. We can not go back so lets make the best of it and plow forward. I have really met some amazing people in here and if not for them I do not know where I would be today. Please head into the open chat room and speak to people who have been there and can help you along. Good luck to you and hope this whole things turns around for you. -
You can have Prilosec but not anti-acids. I have had heartburn since the day of surgery and I spoke with my surgeon. You can take 40 mg of the Prilosec. Good luck to you.
