I get this when I'm overly full now. I need to take a nap. If I eat to much my eyes will not stay open. Moral of the story, eat less.

HOW IN THE FLIPITY FLOPITY IS 98 POUNDS IN 9 ( or 10 ) MONTHS SLOW?

I sometimes buy the Tijuana zebra brand.

My favorite is the cow chip brand.

Oh and poop on a biscuit is for the purée stage only...

Oh yes the protein float! Just make sure it's full sugar because that soda with fake sugars will kill you!

No that's what you use to drink the soda with. It cuts down on the gas bubbles as it passes along the ridges, so you won't blow open your tummy.

I hear they offer that option in Mexico or was it tacos?

Wow interesting subject. I'm not sure if anything like this has ever been asked!? Humm, will you be able to eat more over time? I would do a search there just might be some information on it.

I think it best to ask the clinic or doctor that you went to. Carbonation and the sleeve don't mix. But I see a lot of people here that continue to eat the way they did before so I guess if you wanted to its possible.

They are not that bad I think. Have you used scar cream at all?

That is amazing! Do u have any before and after pics?

Look at that difference! Four months? I cannot believe it! I hope to look as good as you at four months.

You are beautiful dear!

Really??? I can't tell what's a joke here and what's real!

NEW YORK, Feb 18 (Reuters Health) - Severely obese people can potentially develop anorexic and bulimic symptoms after they have lost weight through strict dieting or stomach-reduction surgery, Spanish researchers report. The flip-flop, they say, appears to come from an intense, obsessive fear of regaining weight--supporting the idea that obesity and eating disorders share some features. Dr. Juan A. Guisado, of the University of Extremadura, and his colleagues described two such cases in a recent issue of the International Journal of Eating Disorders. In the first case, the researchers analyzed 100 morbidly obese patients 18 months after each had undergone gastric surgery. Morbid obesity, also known as severe or clinical obesity, refers to people who are 100 pounds or more over their ideal body weight. The investigators discovered a 32-year-old female who had developed an eating disorder after stomach-reduction surgery. "She thought that she had to lose weight quickly, and became especially worried by the flaccid skin areas remaining in arms and legs after weight loss," they write. Even after she had dropped 120 pounds, the woman remained obsessive and depressed about her weight, and would make herself vomit and use diuretics whenever she ate certain foods, according to the researchers. So drastic was her weight loss that she stopped menstruating 5 months after her surgery. The other patient, a 19-year-old female, came to Guisado for psychiatric treatment. By following a severe diet, she had lost close to 200 pounds in 3 years and was depressed and reclusive. The patient reported an "intense discomfort with food, considered herself fat, and felt unhappy with her body," according to the report. By the time Guisado interviewed her, she weighed 110 pounds, but still wanted to have stomach-reduction surgery--which was denied. According to Guisado, these cases highlight the psychological effects that can come with severe obesity. "It is necessary to change some concepts of morbid obesity," he told Reuters Health. He pointed out that while anorexia and bulimia are treated as eating disorders, severe obesity is seen differently. Guisado said he finds that morbidly obese patients show high levels of "psychological discomfort," and he believes that psychiatric evaluation may be appropriate. "Some obese individuals do seek psychiatric treatment for disordered eating, but it is far more common for them to seek obesity treatment," said Dr. Marsha Marcus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. "I think that there has been much more dialogue between the eating disorders and obesity research communities in recent years, based on a growing awareness that problems with eating and weight do have commonalities," she told Reuters Health. But Marcus warned against over-generalizing from such a small number of cases. "Certainly, some individuals who initiate strict dieting will develop aberrant eating, as did the patients described in the article. I have indeed seen patients like this, but they are not common," she said. "The growing gastric surgery literature has shown that, on average, patients' eating habits improve after surgery." She added, though, that as the number of obesity surgeries performed increases, "there is a need to understand the potential complications of the surgery and the reasons for the poorer outcomes in some patients."
