Yes, unfortunately. It causes you to have bad breath too, no matter how good your oral hygiene is. My NUT said it is because our bodies are going through ketosis. She said, it gets better, I'm still waiting on it. I just keep some sugar free cinnamon gum on hand at all times and make sure to get all of my fluids in. That helps a little bit.

Take a deep breath and relax. Think of all the health benefits you will gain. Think on how great life will become for you after. It is so worth it to dwell on the positive.

2 week liquid diet, I'm hungry!
Keke74 replied to Grace2115's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Call your doctor and see if you can have something in addition to liquids. My preop diet consisted of two protein shakes (breakfast and lunch), two pieces of fruit (morning and evening snack) and a light dinner each night. They just might allow you to have something. But either way hang in there. You can do this. The payoff is so worth it. -
Cravings - Pre versus Post
Keke74 replied to goblue9280's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a few months post-op and I don't have any cravings or hunger at all. It makes it really hard for me to eat. I just have to schedule my meals to remain consistent and make sure I get all of my requirements in for the day. -
I pretty much drink my protein shake and water. Every now and then i drink Crystal light. But it is all I can do to get all of my liquids in, so If I try to drink too many things, it just gets to be too much

That is Awesome!! Can't wait to hear about it.

Congratulations!!! I just cannot understand the insurance world. We pay all of this money in premiums and they still get to decide how or when or if we are able to use our own insurance to improve our lives. The worst part about it is there is nothing we can do about it. I'm so glad you were able to still find a way to have your surgery. Good luck and keep us updated. -
The date is set for arms and abs!

I had my surgery on 7/2/15. I went back to work in 2 weeks and it has been smooth sailing since then. I haven't had any issues. It really just depends on you. But you probably will need to get your dress altered again, because you will lose pretty quickly in the beginning. -
It just depends on the Dr

That is awesome !!!!

Good luck

How bad is the pain after surgery?
Keke74 replied to Erika3059's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The bulk of the pain comes from the gas. That is the worst. The earlier you get up after surgery and start walking the better you will feel. Gas-X strips also works wonders. This is coming from someone that has a very low pain tolerance.
