  1. JUST THROWING THIS OUT THERE FOR THE NEW PEOPLE. I AM 11 MOS OUT TODAY AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE SLIMES ABOUT 3 TIMES. FROM EATING SOMETHING TOO TOUGH OR DRY OR EATING A BITE TOO MUCH, ANYWAY I DID IT TODAY WHICH WOULD BE THE THIRD TIME. I WAS EATING OUT WITH FRIENDS AND TALKING AND ATE TOO MUCH NOT THINKING. ANYWAY I POPPED A PC OF GUM, THAT MADE ME SWALLOW SALIVA WHICH GAVE ME THE HORRIBLE FULL FEELING IN MY CHEST AND MADE ME SLIME. SO AS SOON AS I COULD GET AWAY I STARTED SPITTING THE EXTRA SALIVA OUT. I KNOW THIS IS GROSS BUT IF THIS HAPPENS IT SURE CAN BRING YOU RELIEF FASTER...THE MORE OF THAT SALIVA YOU SWALLOW THE WORSE YOUR PAIN AND MISERY IS GOING TO BE. JUST WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME THIS CUZ I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!!!

    How to avoid awkwardness during group meals?

    DON'T STRESS, AND DON'T ALLOW WHAT YOU'RE EATING/NOT EATING TO BECOME UP FOR DISCUSSION...
  8. How long does it take for your new stomach to feel normal, not so fragile and touchy, like it's always there getting your attention, does that make sense..
  9. STRANGE QUESTION BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR RIGHT!!! I AM 11 MONTHS OUT AND IT SEEMS SINCE SURGERY I HAVE A DECREASE IN MY URINE FLOW, THE SPEED/VOLUME AT WHICH IT EXITS. I'M JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED THIS.
  10. Just looking for people on the same date!

    FEMALES - DECREASED URINE FLOW - ANYONE?

    SO GLAD TO HEAR THE REPLIES. I DRINK MORE THAN MY REQUIRED AMOUNT. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T GO ENOUGH, IT'S JUST THAT I EXITS SLOWER AND WEAKER THAN BEFORE. THE NEW LACK OF STRESS ON THE BLADDER MAKES SENSE!
  12. I TOO HAVE LOST MOST OF MY CUTE BUBBLY CHEEKS, I HAVE THOSE SMILE LINES TOO. I WAS VERY AFRAID OF LOOKING OLDER BUT I THINK ALL IN ALL I LOOK YOUNGER. I KINDA LIKE THE SMILE LINES - I KNOW THAT'S WEIRD....THE PART I WORRY ABOUT MOSTLY IS MY FUNNY LOOKING NECK. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL SHRINK UP MORE ON IT'S OWN. I HAVEN'T DONE ANY CREAMS OR PEELS BUT I DO NEED TO BE PUTTING SOMETHING ON MY NECK TO HELP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IN THE WORLD TO USE.

    Decaf coffee

    I DIDN'T DRINK COFFEE FOR MANY MONTHS. BUT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. I THINK IF I WERE DRINKING IT EARLY POST OP I WOULD ADD TO MY DAILY WATER INTAKE.

    Poop (Literally, and TMI, obviously)

    I THINK MANY OF US WENT THRU THAT AT SOME POINT, BUT IT WILL GET BETTER LIKE MOST OF THE NEGATIVES THAT COME ALONG WITH THIS JOURNEY....

    What have I done to myself?

    I WAS DIZZY A LOT, I WASN'T USED TO MY NEW LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE FOR ONE THEN MY IRON WAS LOW....TAKE BOTH OF THESE TO HEART.

    Hungry like feeling since surgery- 6 weeks out.

    AS SAID ABOVE, ACID REDUCERS ARE USUALLY THE KEY

    WHINING - STALLED

    OK I'VE BEEN AT 188, 189, 190 FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE 2 MONTHS, THIS CAN'T BE THE END, THIS CAN'T BE ALL I'M GOING TO LOSE, I THOUGHT I WAS BEING LENIENT ON MYSELF GOING FOR 175. I HAVE DONE SOME OF THOSE CALCULATORS OR ESTIMATORS THAT SAY WHAT YOU COULD LOSE AND MOST OF THEM ARE IN THE 170-180 RANGE. I DON'T CHEAT, I DON'T EVER EAT, I'M REALLY FINE WITH THIS SIZE EXCEPT FOR MY STOMACH THAT I STILL HAVE, IF IT WERE MUCH SMALLER I'M FINE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE...DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THE SCALE MOVING AGAIN

    Bruises - 3 months out

    HAVE VITAMIN K CHECKED OR MAYBE ADD TO YOUR DAILIES, THAT'S WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME, EASILY BRUISING, BRUISES THAT STAYED FOREVER, BLEEDING GUMS WHEN I BRUSHED MY TEETH ETC, I READ UP ON IT AND STARTED TAKING ADDTL VITAMIN K AND PROBLEM IS SOLVED.

  23. I KNOW I WISH MY MOTHER WAS HERE, IN PERSON, TO SEE MY SUCCESS. I HAVE BEEN OVER WEIGHT MY ENTIRE LIFE. MY MOTHER NEVER GOT TO SEE THE REAL ME. THO I'M SURE SHE CAN SEE ME FROM HEAVEN, I'D LOVE FOR HER TO BE HERE...
