  1. Hello, I have been having some worrisome bowel movements in the last month. At first I wasn't very concerned just believed I had probably ate something that didn't agree. It started last month With a few loose pale grey colored bowel movements, but am having them more frequently. I was sleeved April of 2015 and haven't had any problems. I've also had small headaches and some vision issues. So thought I would check to see if this is something that has happened to others that have had the surgery or I need to see my primary doctor.

    After surgery

    I have not. But I did talk with my Doctor about it, and he said most Insurances have you wait until around 18 months after surgery before considering it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  15. I think your doing awesome, throughout my weight loss I've lost a lot for a bit then not so much! If your weighing yourself often you could even see a pound or two weight gain at times, but the great part is it does come off !! So don't get discouraged, You are and will do great!!!!

  16. There is a YMCA about 90 minutes away. I will be sure to drink plenty of water from here on out. I did some research about water intake and how it helps with your metabolism. Also by reading your post that reminded me that my Nut gave me a exercise physiologist number to call! Hopefully that will help too!

    Did you keep your surgery a secret?

    I have also chosen to keep my surgery to myself. I do have one friend who has went through the whole process herself and had her surgery 1 month after mine. Then I had to tell another friend who helps with my son who has DS, because she would be keeping him while I was in the hospital. Then one other person my sons service coordinator. She is the one who took me to the hospital and came and took me back home after. To my knowledge none have told. None of these are someone to share with, only to say thank you when they comment on my weight loss. The exception being the one who had the surgery also. But unfortunately our experiences have been so different it has made it difficult to share my joy! When people ask, I just tell them changing my eating habits and more exercise, The truth without knowing everything. Like a lot of you I just didn't want to deal with the gossip, opinions, embarrassment and awww you did it the easy way from people who have No ideal what before surgery was like. Heart attacks, diabetes, ablations for arrhythmias, ICD placements, fear of not being here for my son. And certainly not after surgery , I've been so blessed but the easy way, I don't think so.
  23. Thanks again for this post and all the replies with great advise and recipes. Also the way to copy them.
  24. Guilty as charged! Thanks for the Topic, and the responses. Will be getting back on the right track tomorrow. Been struggling since my first sliver of pie at Christmas dinner. I should have known better . In my case one sliver led to another, nothing huge but in the days since then, I've had several slips eating more and sooo hungry! Scared to say the least.
