I was sleeved on 4/30/14. I took 5 weeks off of work, returning on 6/514. During my time off I felt wonderful and did not feel any affects of my fibro. I did not take my lyrica. Upon returning to work, I have a stressful job, I started feeling pain and started back on my lyrica this last Tuesday. I have been stalled for 3 weeks. I talked to the nurse and went through my food diary with her. She thinks my body is in stress from going back to work and being in pain. she says my body won't lose weight when it is in stress. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I guess not. Only me.

I am 4 1/2 weeks out. I woke up this morning and weighed myself and have gained 6 pounds since Wednesday. How is this possible?

Yes, I have tracked on myfitness pal. I am eating around 800 calories a day and getting about 55 grams of Protein, I only drink Water or unsweetened ice tea with lemon in it.

Does anyone else get nausea and headaches from artificial sweeteners? Also I have bad gag reflexes when I try something sugar free.

I made black bean soup with chorizo and pureed it, and split pea soup.

I am 4 weeks out and am wondering why I get hungry so soon after I eat. If I eat a yogurt, I will be full but within an hour or hour and half, I am hungry and my stomach is growling. Can anyone clue me in on this?

thank you so much for the explanation ziggy

I had to stay extra days in the hospital because I couldn't get anything down. they wouldn't let me of iv fluids until I could.

Can anyone give me some advice? I was sleeved 7 days ago. I am drinking milk, Protein powders, yogurt mixed with milk and Protein powder, I can drink about 8-12 ounces in about 15-20 minutes and then I am still hungry. I am having aversions to the thought of broth and juices. other than my protein mixes with milk, I drink Water or unsweetened ice tea. Can anyone tell me why I am so hungry?

They did prescribe one but I haven't been taking it, because I feel fine? Should I take it any way?

this is really surprising me too. I did leave a message at the bariatric center today, but no one called back where can I learn more about this head hunger?

I just had this happen over the weekend. I ate shrimp, which I never had a problem with before, but now do since my last fill. I threw it up immediately. After that, all weekend I was throwing up. The nurse said I probably irritated my stomach and band which caused some swelling and then everything after that had a hard time going through. She said if you throw up to put yourself on liquids for 12 hours so the inflammation can go down. It makes sense. The doctor did remove 1/2 cc from me anyway.
