Starving at bedtime
Alora VSG Begonia replied to cole225's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found sometimes that shortly after surgery extreme hunger feeling at night was actually Acid. Don't know if it's the same for you but in those weeks I needed to take some prilosec every day and having a tums around bedtime seemed to really help with that hunger feeling. sleeping with my upper body slightly inclined helped too but mostly it was the acid-reduction that helped. If it's not the acid maybe a little benedryl to help you sleep a little deeper. I find that helps me too when my cravings are a little stronger during that time of the month. -

Any April Sleevers?
Alora VSG Begonia replied to mis4may's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
People were kicked for criticizing other's food choices and it wasn't just that one time. That's a rule in our group. I'm unfollowing this thread now but I hope you guys are able to support each other with people who don't mind having boundaries crossed. If that's the kind of support you are looking for you are correct in seeking it elsewhere. Good luck on your journey to health. -

Oh lord. Please start your own group. I'm sure you will be excellent at it. Lol. If anyone wants to join we have four new additional admins to soften my tyrannical rule . I'm not even going to respond to this insane rant but we are still accepting members and have about 43 people currently (about two more joined after the above person left) Everyone is very friendly and you are welcome to join us. Thanks everyone. -

Well because this group is "secret" instead of just closed, it will not show up on your friend's side bars. I'm made a seperate profile so I can join all those public and closed profiles without my family and friends seeing. I TOTALLY understand. so embarrassing. lol -

Breastfeeding With Sleeve
Alora VSG Begonia replied to ATLGirl's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am so glad I found this post. I was worrying about this with my little one. I was wondering if it was even worth it to keep pumping s little just to keep my supply up while I'm in Mexico. I won't go nuts since he's a little older but we aren't ready to wean just yet. Thanks ladies! -

Alora VSG Begonia replied to mis4may's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah my doc said only liquid today days before surgery but I'm starting a two shakes and a meal plan right now. I figure whatever I lose between now and April 16th is what I won't have to lose after surgery. Better to get me in the headspace now instead of having food funerals. I've had enough of those over the years during my many dieting stints. -
Got told by a coworker today that I'm taking the "easy way"
Alora VSG Begonia replied to Jerr_Bear's topic in Rants & Raves
I have a question. What if it WAS the easy way out? It isn't but what if it was? WHO CARES. What does he want you to carry a wooden cross across the public square and pay penance for you sin of being overweight? Give me an effing break. This whole notion that fat people are some sort of moral failures is so messed up. If there WAS an overnight pancea that required no surgery and no work on my part, I'd probably use that too. Why is MY BODY someone elses example for moral failing. Your health issues and decisions are none of anyone's freaking business. I think that's why people love that Biggest Loser show. they just love watching us cry, and puke, and basically get whipped and humiliated in public for just existing in these bodies. It makes me very mad. -
Both of the places you are going are famous for their seafood. You're probably going to be fine food wise and will get plenty of exercise because there will be so much to see. The Peruvian ceviches and such and plenty of non breaded fish in Greece. Get some grilled sardines or something for me. I'll be over here green with envy.

I like cron-o-meter it also will connect to Fitbit but I like it because it's less popular and so I don't have to interact with my facebook friends trying to friend me on it all the time lol. I'm kind of a private person. The other thing I like about it, is it tracks all your micronutrients so it's easier to see when there's a glaring deficiency in your diet.
