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?
downsizingdiva replied to Sleevedham's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
DON'T STRESS, AND DON'T ALLOW WHAT YOU'RE EATING/NOT EATING TO BECOME UP FOR DISCUSSION... -
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..

downsizingdiva posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
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. -
Just looking for people on the same date!

FEMALES - DECREASED URINE FLOW - ANYONE?
downsizingdiva replied to downsizingdiva's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
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! -
The One Thing No One Tells You About Losing Weight
downsizingdiva replied to WL WARRIOR's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
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. -
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.

What have I done to myself?
downsizingdiva replied to JellyBellyNoMore's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
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.
downsizingdiva replied to bariatricwife's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
AS SAID ABOVE, ACID REDUCERS ARE USUALLY THE KEY -
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

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.
-
IT'S PROBABLY OVER BY NOW BUT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE - WAIT IT OUT, WALK, MOVE AROUND, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING!!! MY ONE AND ONLY BOUT WITH MEAT LIKE THAT I THOUGHT IF I DRANK IT WOULD HELP - I HONESTLY THOUGHT I WAS DYING....
