mdm we both were sick, why were you sick?

I'm so sorry you guys were sick. Sleeved and sick is hard. I did manage to eat some of everything. Turkey is hard to down. But I chewed and chewed and down it went. Couple bites of other stuff. Worked my butt off to cook it all and couldn't eat much of it. Kind of sucked, but pleased to see everyone else inhaling food.

Speaking of inhaling, have any of you noticed that you burp way more than you used to? I swear I burp like a drunken sailor! No matter what I eat, or how much, up come the burps. I swear it's from chewing so much more which I think introduces way more air. And it's like I have to burp for the food to move down the sleeve. And then make room for more.

Anyone else notice this burping thing?

I've had a cold since Monday but today it got worse, I've had a fever, dizziness and I'm coughing up a lung. As for the vomiting yesterday, I think the yams were too sweet with marshmallow and brown sugar.

LOL!!! @ momofthing....I too burp like a frat boy at a keg party! I even burp when I sip on Water.< /p>

Momof, I'm the same way always full of air in my chest and burping. If I feel full I force little burps out to help with the digestion. It gets embarrassing at work since I eat at my desk and have people around me.

Burping isn't so much a problem but wow, hiccups are! I think this is how I know to stop eating whatever it is that I am eating.

I did OK yesterday. Had to work and there was a crap load of food there but I ate the turkey and ham first and then just took spoonfuls of steamed green Beans, mashed potatoes, one deviled egg, and a spoonful of banana pudding. I didn't touch any of the other Desserts or soda. I brought a lunch with me with Protein Snacks and milk and then drank my Water all day. Once I got home I sampled a piece of turkey that my family brought home for me as well as a couple bites of pumpkin pie and whew, that did not agree with me. Today I tried leftover turkey again and began to vomit. So it all went in the trash. Sigh. Having a rough day today..lots of heartburn and just not feeling well. I think I am overtired from my very busy 12 hour shift yesterday...

Hello everyone - I haven't been on here for a while... I been busy working & trying to get back to my life..

I've had ups & downs & I'm experiencing some heartburn or something & my hair is finally starting to shed heavily which is freaking me out... I'm bout to go back to the basics, up'n my Protein & buying some prenatal Vitamins to see of that helps...

My Thanksgiving was good, ate Honey Baked ham & turkey - so good - ate dressing & greens & etc just couldn't eat that much of it...

Weight is still coming off just slowly - as long as I'm still losing I won't complain...

Hope everyone else is doing well - I haven't had time to sit & read all the post from the last time I posted - wishing everyone the best of luck & continued success...

Hey Ready, glad to hear you are doing good. The hair loss sucks, I had to cut my hair so it wouldn't fall out so much.

Hi everyone, I am concerned I am losing weight so quickly for the last week. I'm not getting enough Protein or Water so I don't know why I'm losing 2 pounds a day, do you think I'm losing muscle? My legs are sore to the touch like they are bruised. I didn't lose much in the beginning so I don't know if I'm just catching up.

ready missed ya girl

mdm. stop worrying. first you werent now you are. our bodies are stupid crazy like that. now you could be losing muscle if you not getting in that protien and not working out. that happened to me in 08 i lost 125lbs in 9 months i was losing 3-5lbs a week and guess what it all came back plus. call the team and ask about the legs bruising that dont sound good. you are doing good i am so proud of you. you came a long way from when we were first sleeved, dont you agree.

I have the same thing happen after I start eat. I think it's my signal to stop eating. I kind of like it. It doesn't happen the first few bites but then... It starts and I say to myself... Maybe this is my sign that my sleeve is filling up.

[MDM0927 29]

Thanks newgrandmother! I am happy to finally be losing weight but don't want to lose muscle and gain in back like you said. I've lost a total of 41 pounds, 18 pounds of that was the last 10 days.
