The last 5 months I've been getting UTI's for 2 days every other month, treated with over the counter meds. This month I got 2 UTI's 1 week apart! I'm pretty sure it's because I'm not eating or drinking enough so my body isn't flushing out the bad bacterias. My problem is, eating solid foods hurts my stomach, just a few bites and it feels like I ate a pound of food, so most days I'd rather not eat at all then get a stomach ache. I can go days without eating so I am worried my little stomach has gotten even smaller due to lack of food. Has this happened to anyone else?

IBS Attack 8 months post sleeve
Mommysonadiet posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I had my first IBS attack last night at 9PM after I drank a kids cup Lil Angel from smoothie King and had 1/2 scoop of greek frozen yogurt. I have had these items before and was fine... I thought my appendix was going to burst or my intestines were inflamed from having diarrhea for the last few days (TMI sorry)...I haven't felt pain like this since the week after my surgery! Thankfully 1 hour ago, almost 20 hours after the pain started, I am feeling well enough to get out of bed. Has this happened to anyone else? -
IBS Attack 8 months post sleeve

I still have my gall bladder. Is a gallbladder attack similar? -
I didn't regain normal energy levels until 3 months post op. I know taking 3 months off from work is not realistic. I feel for all the nurses who get sleeved because it will be really hard to be on your feet and help others when all you want to do is sit down and sleep.

10 lbs weight loss goal - anyone wanna be my buddy?
Mommysonadiet posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would love to lose 10 lbs in the next month because that's when my restaurant will be opening. I need motivation though. Right now I am working out 2-3 days a week and not eating very healthy. -
Guess mine

Nerve pain from heavy breasts after surgery
Mommysonadiet posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The last month I have experienced nerve pain in my left collar bone, which I believe is caused from my heavy chest, possibly a pinched nerve from my bra strap. Even though I have lost many inches from every area of my body, my chest seems to be the last to shrink. Has anyone else experienced nerve pain in their collar bone area from bras or even when they don't wear bras? I am 5 months post op. -
189 oh yeah!!!!

191. Wow. Almost into the 180s. Can't wait.

NSV - I can touch every finger around my wrist!!! Crazy.

I am 5 months post op and miss the euphoric high I would get from eating when upset. I don't think I will get that feeling ever again, unless I start doing drugs I guess lol.
-
NSV - my engagement ring doesn't fit anymore, to the point I'm afraid it will fall off.

I totally feel you! I can't wear my wedding r. I've had it fall off twice and thankfully I noticed it when it came off right away. I'm not wearing it right now and will likely have it resized at the end of the summer. Kind of afraid to have it done before then because I'm not done losing weight and I don't want to have to have the resizing done twice.

Anyone here had lipo after the sleeve? I'm only 4 months out but am considering lipo at 1 year post op if I haven't lost enough.

Things you thought you'd miss but you don't?

Everything. Taco Bell was my go to binge food before, and now it makes me throw up within 5-10 minutes of having a few bites. -
When can i have coffee?!
Mommysonadiet replied to Lindsayloo1103's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
4 months post op and coffee gives me really bad stomach acid. I still drink it a few times a week, but I always need an antacid afterwards. -
Ear pain from alcohol 3-4 months after sleeved?
Mommysonadiet posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After being sleeved on Dec 3, 2013, my body doesn't process alcohol the same. Please save the "you shouldn't be drinking anyway lectures." If I drink mixed sugary drinks, or even wine a little too fast, my face gets very flushed. Another symptom I now get is a severe pain behind my left ear. Has this happened to anyone else? I have googled the ear pain from alcohol and it points to Hodgkin's Disease so I'm a little worried now. I also have had a small lump the size of a pea about 4 inches below my armpit for about 8 months. Thanks. -
192!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

keratosis pilaris appears 3 months after being sleeved?
Mommysonadiet posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved in Dec 2013. I just noticed what looks like keratosis pilaris on my forearms (underneath) and underside of my upper arms. Has this happened to anyone else? It's on both arms, doesn't itch, and is just lots of tiny skin colored bumps. I had a lot of skin issues before surgery so this doesn't surprise me -
I had sex for the first time after surgery (6 weeks post op), but hadn't had sex in about 3 months total. There was blood on the sheets, like I had my full period (which I'm not supposed to get until the 21st.) I continued to spot when I wiped after the bathroom the next day. Again the next day there was a lot of blood during/after sex like I was on my period, but I did not bleed out during the day like a period. Do you guys think this is surgery related or could I be possible spotting from an early period?

After losing 50 lbs since the first visit to my doctor's office, I feel like I should reward myself with hair extensions. Has anyone had them done within the first 3-6 months of being sleeved? I am in south Florida so the prices for extensions are high (I think?). What are the prices near you? I am getting 16 inches, 6 bundles, Great Lengths, 2 colors, with a 'complimentary' cut and style and shipping for $1,450. I am opening a restaurant in 1 month so I want to feel the best about myself as I can.

Hair extensions
Mommysonadiet replied to Mommysonadiet's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Since being sleeved in Dec 2013, I have recently noticed much more hair torn out on my hair ties since I wear my hair in a pony tail every day. I have not yet noticed excessive hair loss after a shower, etc. I have very thick hair so I'm not really worried about the hair loss. The extensions are mostly for me to feel more attractive since I had extremely long hair before I became depressed and cut it to my chin a year ago...
