Ok so get this. Estrogen is stored in fat so as we lose the weight the estrogen is released into are system. Ohh science rocks! I did get the sweats when I was on the hcg diet and I lost weight this quickly too.

I'm exactly the same. I can eat 4 oz of any of my allowed foods(because I measure that much out) and I never get full. Pretty sure I could eat at least double. I get 80 oz of Water in a day too and can gulp it down after a workout with no problem HW(9/3/13)- 284' date=' DOS(9/11/13)-270, CW-259(9/20/13), GW-155(by 9/21/14...my 26th birthday!)[/quote']

I ate again today and still don't get any type of full sensation. I am portioning my food so that I am not over-eating. Also, I drink and drink and also don't get a "full" sensation. So it sounds like you and I are in the same boat and our stats are almost exact, that is a bit crazy.

Ok. So yesterday my back started getting sore. I went back to work and it was annoying and worse on inspiration but not bad. Came home 7 am and took some pain meds and went to bed. Woke up two hours later in extreme pain thats sharp in my back. I call my surgeons office with this rude PA who tells me its gas pain. Really? Gas pain that shows up a whole week later?? How is that since the gas should be completely out if my body three days post surgery.

I have a terrible back pain going on for the second day as well. I can't figure it out. I took Tylenol and it helps, but not sure why I have it. It is in my back on the left-side slightly higher than my kidneys. I have a had time believing it would be gas as well. I am 8-days post op. Surgery 09/16/13.

Im home from the hospital it was a good stay and excellent team of doctors at Cottage Hospital. They gave me Decaf tea, a Protein Drink and broth while I was there. Today I start on full liquids for 2 weeks and all sugar free items. Exercise as tolorable, and I am in a bit of pain still and still have some gas pains. Thank goodness for no other symptoms such as heart burn and nausua. Started on chewable vitamins today they are kinda tastey from Celebrate.< /p>

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
