I am 8 months out and for about the last 4 months or so I sweat heavily out of nowhere. I can be sitting for 5 minutes and stand up and my shorts will be wet and the chair looks as if I peed on it. Does anyone else have this problem?

How about put all your troubles into one post? Then we get a full picture ;)

You aren't eating or drinking, you aren't taking Vitamins, and you are totally blocked up. You poor thing! First thing is to research Vitamin Patches. That will help you a smidge. Talk to your doctor about a feeding tube or some other way to get nutrition. You are starving to death! It is a good idea to get the nurse out for the anti-nausea meds.. any thing to get you hydrated and feeling better. The sweating probably has something to do with all these other problems!

Just in case it's unrelated to your problems with the surgery, you might want to have your thyroid checked. An overactive thyroid makes you sweat like crazy.

I have had my thyroid checked when I was overweight and it came back showing levels that I should be under weight. I actually put in a request for my primary care to refer me to an endocrinologist.

Push harder on them to get in to see an endocrinologist! I was also hyperthyroid and should have been underweight, but in addition to revving your metabolism, it ups your appetite and I could eat out eat the increase in metabolism. An overactive thyroid is really dangerous for your heart. But it would absolutely explain the sweating. Other symptoms can be shaky hands, clammy skin, a very high resting heart rate, intolerance to heat (which you may not notice with the weight loss), if it's Graves Disease your eyes can start to be prominent and stick out a bit (I don't have Graves, I have a toxic nodule on my thyroid gland). Please get yourself checked!

      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.
