Bad Breath, Gross!
sophiepants replied to CaliGal1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I seen it a few times on here people saying the same. Urine will some times get that way also. I didn't have bad breath but for the first week maybe 2. However I sure smelled like a kitty litter box for like 2 months. Mine was ketosis. I'm outta it now unfortunately (and I say that only because ketosis is a mass fat burning mode brought on by low carb, low cal and high Protein diet) Use this time to get into walking daily or some other form of exercising to help you with the weight loss while your still in it wont last forever. Oh and I've seen people say they kept some kinda breath strips with them -

You May Be More Successful Than You Think....
sophiepants replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
WHA.... are we counting our SW from when we seen the Dr. for the first time when we decided to have surgery or Surgery SW the day of surgery Because shoot I was 278 when I started this journey, Did my 3 month supervised diet then on to surgery. do they only consider you a success only with the weight you have lost after your surgery. Which I would think. But could be wrong?? -
So going to try this!

As for dry skin....YIKES It's not just my face but whole body! I read about dry brushing on here once a few weeks ago but sadly I cant find the thread again.

I'm sorry lady!! Your doing a fantastic job !!! Did it feel anything like head hunger? I noticed myself last night at dinner "3 oz chicken Cordon Blue, 1 asparagus, 1 Tbsp mashed potatoes" I wasn't as full as I usually am. Worried me also We are only a few weeks apart in surgery dates I believe. Think its our body's adjusting to this whole process? Or it telling us we may need more calories? Either way I've noticed my hunger a little different these last two days. Sorry not much help but kinda felt I could relate.

$27k hospital bill!
sophiepants replied to runnergirlsmom's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'm so sorry!! God that huge! My total bill was 28K$ However my insurance was covering a big part. I was us under the impression I was going to pay 4000$ POSS 5. My shock came in a 12,000$ bill a month later. I do understand. I would call the financing department and find out why they did not adjust your amount. I was told at the surgeons office it cost 17,000$ I however didn't think about the hospitals charges. Yikes -

Just putting it out there, so 'dirty' little secrets may see the light of day!
sophiepants replied to Madam Reverie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I personal know the difference. I slipped up and have not since. I feel dam good about myself truth be told. I see how it seems like it is a huge deal. But my resolve from then has been rock hard. Hopefully my one indulgent on a pie piece has not offended anyone. It is not a behavior I condoned and plan on continuing. But It happened and I confessed. Mistakes happen to me I'm human. I will not be crying 6 months or 6 years down the road knowing I ate one slip up. If that is my down fall then It's my fault. I will own it. I want this to work with my whole being and having a oops does not define my habits. It may look like it on this post but I didn't get out of it what others have. I moved on. That said I get it. It is dangers behavior. But I understood the point of the starting of this thread....you do mess up your not alone. Not tryn to start anything...lordy I'm still new here and figuring things out!! I do see how some might get a support idea outta this . -
