Learned new things today. Going through a very rough time suddenly, as soon as I really start to feel the stress I am now craving carbs like crazy. French fries, Pasta, potato of any sort. But I'm no longer able to use food to deal with the hard times. So, I have a feeling over the next several weeks there is a lot more to learn.

Hey everyone! I've been away for a long while but just got the app for my iPad so I'm back. Missed you all! Lots has happened. I had my RNY on August 28th. Got married 11/12/13 ;) quit my job of almost 9 years just 2 weeks before Christmas and am now a stay at home mom and wife for a while. Feeling great! I shopped in Old Navy for the first time in years. Bought size 18 jeans last month and already think I need a 16. Bought a size XL in ladies coat. No more men's sizes for me! I even bought a medium size men's hoodie and it fits great! I bought a large t shirt while at the races, and it is a little tight on me but won't be long until it fits great. Went to Silver Dollar City on Dec 30th and had no fear of fitting into anything. Got to ride anything I wanted. Down 70lbs since surgery.

I went to a funeral yesterday and everybody kept calling me twiggy or skinny. When I looked in the mirror I thought I looked slimmer than usual. I've got to see how many inches I've lost.

I get the same feeling off and on since Surgery 5 months ago. I haven't checked into it. But what I have noticed is that it occurs to me whenever I haven't had enough Protein or nutrition in my system. I do good when I have at least 20-30 grams of protein in my body for Breakfast. If I can do that, then I usually don't get that light headed & dizzy feeling whenever I stand up. Hope this helps you. Hang in there!

Off my omeprazole for 2 weeks and now I possibly have an ulcer. Yes, it can happen that fast. I'm now on liquids for a couple days to see if my symptoms clear up. If not, I get the scope!

Are you eating and drinking enough? Mild dehydration makes me dizzy, as does not getting enough to eat. Waiting too long between meals will too. My nut suggested 5-6 mini meals when my activities prevent me from eating on a normal schedule.

      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.
