When there is no food. I didn't think i had an emotional attachment to food but watching spongebob with my son is making me crave a hamburger

When was yoir surgery and how much have you lost so far..and most importiantly how are you feeling? My surgery was 9/7/12 starting weight 240...current weight 219. I feel ok..i have been learning how much it hurts when i eat too fast or dont chew well enough. And finally this last week experienced some sort indication that i actually had surgery...milk.. Blah. Hello dumping syndrome.

Starting wt : 243 Current: 216 Goal: 140

Ok never mind i gotcha i accepted!

Oh my gosh an u send me.anothwr request lol...i deleated the.request totally having a brain fart!!!!.ahhh

So first i am not posting this to get anyone to jump all over me. So dont please. Anyways i am headed to vegas in nov. And i have not even thought about alcohol due to the fact i am not a huge drinker. But is it ok to have a drink or two? I mean hello girls weekend in vegas! Nothing carbonated..clearly lol but something simple...? Yes i understand cross over addictions and blah blah im not making a a habit... Anyways by the trip ill be 3.5 mo post op.

Thank you guys. Funny because my mom told me the same thing! She said try a few things at home. I have been tolerating pretty much anything I have gone to eat so far, unless I eat too fast or dont chew, then I tend to throw up. But my few times I have experienced my dumping syndrome is milk or milk product,,and I get the worst Diarreha. I am actually afraid to eat things outside of my own home!

Can i get an add.too??. Lexi robertshaw

I had surgery 9/7 and still bleeding

If you can tolerate them, try the All fruit no suger added pops.. They are only like 40 calories and they are SO good. I think bryers makes them. But the regular popcicle brand are very tastey too! I use to be able to taste the artificial sweetner and honestly I just do not taste the difference anymore. Also I dont know if you guys have a winco but here at our winco they have a large assortment of sugar free candy in their bulk isle. I have been eating suger free yogurt covered raisins.

I work at old navy FYI if you buy something online you can return it in the store. And our old navy here carries up to a size 20 jeans, and XXL tops. However I have not been able to wear the jeans in forever because an 18 is too small and a 20 is too big. I am hoping now that I am officially an 18 it might fit lol.

I too lived on them! My doctor told me that water and fluid will not stretch my pouch bc it runs right through. If you were concerned about that... Im three weeks out and i can almost drink water normally. And i drink a TON of it... Prob a gallon a day lol. I am always so thirsty. But i looove sugar free popcicles and fudge pops! Fudge pops are so close to ice cream consistancy and the sugar free ones are soooo good!

Insurance denied me I'm so upset, my BMI is not 40.. I'm literally 3lbs away. So he said drink a TON of water! And wear heavy clothes. I have more existing medical conditions but I go back in on next Wednesday to be re-weighed! Wish me luck

Im not currently working but i was back at school in class 4 days post op but i had no choice i would get dropped from my class i did alright but the next week i felt perfectly fine. However i keep gettin some pain and im hoping its not gallbladder

My aunt.used cosmed and was very happy with them!

Im glad to see.some.other people are experiencing slow loss... I feel like some days because i can eat anything really just small amounts it isnt working but i am slowly loosing.

Starting weight : 242 Current weight: 220 Goal weight: 140 Surgiversery 9/7/12

I am 7 days post op and the first few days i was not getting anywhere near enough water because it hurt so bad to swallow. However the last three days i have been better getting at least 40oz and today doing well but i have no been peeing! I realized this morning i only peed twice yesterday last time 8pm..then not again untol today at 1pm. And i didnt even pay attention until ny grabdma pointed it out. Im a little worried because i feel hydrated i have been producing a little sweat but i do keep drinking water and have been all day! I know this cant be right

Ok folks. I called this morning and they said come in asap. So i did. They gave me THREE bags of iv fluid and while i was there i drank likr 40 ounces of water. And still it took me.forver to produce any urine. They said i was so badly dehydrated that my body was trying to play catch up and holding on to all the fluid. I know this is because the first few days i could barely swallow anything because it hurt so bad. But i should be better now and a.word to the wise they mean it when they say 60 ounces. I never drank that much before surgery but i.ssure as hell will be.drinking.at least that much!!!

Yeah its pretty dark. But omg how much more can i drink. I literally am drinking all day long.

Surgery @9..have to be at the hospital at 7!!! Excited and terrified all at the same time!!!.and i totally.cannot sleep!!!! And those of you who.had your surgery this week before me.how are you all feeling!?!

Im 3 days post op..and i keep getting like foam spit. I know it sounds weird but i cant thibk of any way to describe it but i feel so foamy in my mouth. Is this normal? Ahh i just want to feel better.. My chest still hurts so bad and after i take one sip i get pain for.awhile. I feel a break down coming on today

Down 10 lbs to 229!!! I cant wait until i am in the 100's! Sorry off subject but i had to share

I didnt have that issue. However when i made that first trip to tge bathroom the tiny little bit of substance i left behind i was like wtf where did that come from!?! Nothing but gatoraid and broth lol

I havnt had to chew anything yet lol. Just liquid. So maybe i am drinking too fast?
