Have u been to a dr for blood work? A FULL blood panel-sugars- etc...! If not I'd go!

I did and my B12 was very very high!

It's a sign something could be going on -

Is it Every Time u eat? Does it depend on what u eat?

I do it sometimes w bread/sweets/carbs-- I'm not diabetic but it still can affect u- I call if my carb high and it makes me feel yucky! Could be a digestive issue also!

It has been 2 months since blood work, I am borderline diabetic and was low in Vitamin A. I took the mega doses of Vitamin A and now am on maintenance. I am going to call my GP today, thanks

Are you taking niacin? (a B vitamin). Sometimes that can cause flushing. Also, you might want to see if your doc can rule out a hormonal influence, such as perimenopause, which can start in your 40s and unfortunately can last a while. Hope you get some answers and it's something easy to treat!

I was thinking I may be going through menopause...I was checked a few years ago, but was not. I don't get a regular cycle because I had an endometrial ablation done almost 2 years ago. I haven't had a period for about 8 months now....maybe....

That's exciting (: finishing school...and the hard part now finding a job. Good luck in your search. And same with size for me...I can't wait to shop in a "normal" size store.

Good luck with everything

Dr said I have vasovagal syncope. He thinks because I still have a large lower stomach that hangs and sits on my upper legs when I sit. It compresses the veins to my legs and causes pooling of blood in my legs. When I stand up the blood pumps to my legs and not to my head. This also happens after I eat, it goes to my stomach instead of my head.

He is also doing blood work to make sure there is nothing else causing it. So now I have another reason to get this weight off!!! We discussed having a panniculectomy- removal of my hanging stomach. He said it will be more successful when I get below 200 pounds...so there is another goal!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
