I experienced this a few weeks ago for about a day, it went away.

Congrats to you - good news indeed!

:lol: :lol:

Can you pass me a box of tissues please.

Been about twice now. Both times ordered sashimi - like everything else, I brought leftovers home and got two meals out of them. I was told to avoid rice so i have been. No rolls. How did i eat it? i used chopsticks. A fork would have looked silly.

i had been going to the doctor at least twice a year for labs because of the meds I was taking and I got weighed each time so my surgeon just asked for a list of dates and weights going back 3 years or whatever. i didn't have to do anything myself, my surgeon's office called my doctor and got it from them.

The thread is only one page long - give it a day or two.

reBUMP

Welcome, good to have you here! I lost all my hair in the shower on Sunday - took me about 7 minutes with a Gillette fusion razor.

BUMP for Molly!

I had an issue with dehydration. They pumped like 2 bags of fluids into me, ultrasounded my bladder, and it was bone dry! They put some sort of med into my IV and it got better. Also, my oxygen levels were low for some reason but also normalled out. that's about it really.

i just sent you one, didn't see an error message. What error are you seeing?

I keep hearing we should wean off Protein shakes and rely on food for our Protein but I see the shakes in my future. So convenient to get the calories and protein in. Might be an idea for you, until you are able to get more calories from food?

Just my opinion, but I think younger people with less weight to lose have less of a battle with saggy skin than my 50 year old self. Sure exercise helps and there are perfect examples of VST people here. But I'll take the sagging skin and any plastic surgery if i feel I need it down the line over my former 416 pound self wondering how long i can stand the arms of the chair digging into my thighs at the doctors office.

Thinking out loud is perfect! You feel sex is a need for attention? No right or wrong answer, just a question. I see sex sort of like an appetite to be fulfilled. Others may see it differently.

My surgeon told his patients they were allowed to drive 24 hours after their last dose of pain meds. i drove myself to my 1 week followup.

Could it be about the person who you see in the mirror? Are you happy with what you see? Not happy? I don't find what I see in the mirror attractive - less so as I lose weight and more sags. However... My libido has been high as long as I can remember. Before surgery I had issues with "maintaining attention". I find that as I lose weight, I have a better "attention span". Possibly two different issues, but please don't feel embarrassed talking about anything here.

What happens next month?

I avoided posting in this thread as I feel bad for hijacking your other one. I did want you to know that this thread inspired me to finally go to my doctor and ask for antidepressants. As soon as Aetna gets the stick out of their butts I'll be able to start taking them. Thank you Amy, and I wish you best of the best in getting your groove back.

I'm 8 weeks out tomorrow, I've been eating 4oz but I was able to eat an entire 8oz of cup of cioppino on Saturday and it didn't hurt me.

Wait. What? Does your Multivitamin have Iron?
