onikenbai, I am in the same boat as you just not as extreme. I slime/puke everyday at least once a day sometime 5-6 times a day. This has been going on with me for about 2-3 months. The only day I have not puked in the last 2 months was Memorial day. I don't know why but I didn't puke that day. Sometimes I can keep the food down for an hour or so as well and then I feel queasy, my mouth starts watering and I slime. Meats for me come up about 80-90% of the time. Everything else is a crap shoot as well except cheetos and funyuns....they dissolve in your mouth. My dr. in unconcerned as well. He says as long as I can keep liquid down I am ok.....SERIOUSLY!!!! I would like him to be in my shoes for one day. I found some whey protein shots that go down easy. They are 3 ounces and 26 grams of protein. Also have you tried soy protein....it works better for me....If I do a whole shake with the whey I am sick too... So sorry you are going through this. I know how you feel. There are times I don't eat just because I don't wanna puke! Sad. I am starting to think eating is just too big of a hassle. Like yourself, I am not losing weight either or if I do it is very very slowly but I am not gaining and I am losing inches so I gotta be happy about that. I go see my Dr. on the 9th. If by some chance he gives me any suggestions this time (I doubt it) I will definately let you know! Keep your head up my dear!

I too am a slow loser and I am trying to take the mentality that it is giving our skin time to catch up. I know it is frustrating. People at church have asked me what I am doing wrong...why I haven't dropped 60 plus pounds. I just have to tell myself that everyone is different and my body is changing slowly for the better. hang in there you look great!

Girl 24 lbs in 3.5 months is fantastic. Besides you are probably still in bandster hell and very well may need another fill. I am losing very slow but my dr. says that's ok. My friend asked me this question so I am gonna ask you. When was the last time you were you able to lose 24 lbs and keep it off? You are doing great! Keep up the good work.

Whoohoo! Congrats! I know what you mean. I didn't eat supper tonight...just not hungry. Oh and french fries....girl I don't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Not only do they not taste good when chewed forever I slime them up EVERY time. Mentally it makes me sad....I love me some frenchy fries but physically it is a good thing. Keep up the good work and keep us informed!

Congrats!!! WHOOHOOO!

Ok guys, I need some opinions. I am experiencing major water retention. I used to go up anywhere between 5-10 lbs anywhere from 5-7 days before I started my period then once I started my period it would leave. So I have currently been swollen for 3 weeks. My ankles are kankles and I can't get my rings on. I thought this started because on 4/17 I did a 30 mile bike ride. I ate some rice and a little pasta 2 days before so I would have some carbs to burn off. I don't tolerate pasta to well anymore so only had a tiny bit of it. Anyways I thought oh I am a little swollen becuase of the carbs holding water. Did my 30 mile bike ride. The next week still swollen. Then this past week still swollen but it was period week. Well period has come and gone and I am still swollen. Maybe not as bad but still bad enough that I still don't have ankles and can't get my rings on. Does anyone have any suggestions/home remedies? I have tried several and even over the counter diuretic. It didn't help just turned my pee blue(color of the pill). Should I talk to my Dr. about this? :thumbup:

I always bruise after my fills. My bruises are usually a little bigger than a quarter. My Dr. said that was normal but you may want to ask your Dr. I bruise easy anyways. Also, my Dr. has had to go very slow with my fills...it just seems like if he puts much in there it ticks my band off...one time I was on liquids for almost 3 weeks. Just give it time and maybe ask for smaller fills if that is an option for you. The most I have had at one time is 2 cc's. I have had 3 fills and am at 5 cc's now. Best of luck!

Wow! Great job! Keep up the good work!

Hi Kat, My dietician wants me at 125g of protein a day. From talking with others that is on the high side...prolly becuase I have been a weight lifter for 6 years and we want to preserve as much muscle as we can under that fat. :confused: Others usually say around 60 but I would check with your nutritionist. I take my vitamins everyday. the only thing is you cannot take your calcium with your multivitamin. The iron in the multi will mess with the absorption of the calcium with D. It needs to be at least a 2 hour difference. I take a multi, super B complex, calcium, biotin(cuz my hair started falling out) and iron because I am borderline anemic(I was this before surgery too) Hope this has helped. Good luck!

Whoohoo! Congrats! I am trying to up my protein right now. Definately not getting enough. My hair has even started falling out in massive amounts. Got my new supply of protein in and starting it today! Wish me luck!
