So I am almost 9 months out and my period finally seems lighter I have ALWAYS had heavy periods. And immediately post op they seemed even heavier which my doc attributed to hormones. But this month seems i dare say "normal". lol It's probably heavy by most people's standard but it seems normal to me. Let's see that happens next month!

mine just started thinning out at about 8 months in. I thought I had escaped it. It's not horrible but it's noticeable to me.

Thank you! Same to you. These two days of liquids was hard, but I did it. It was like right after surgery all over again lol

hope everyone has a blessed new years! also hope everyone is that much closer to their goals, weight loss and otherwise i am starting the 5 day pouch test to hopefully get back on track and jump start my weight loss again. so i am drinking a Protein shake as we speak for the first time in about 8months lol have a great day all and a great 2012

Is cough medicine one of the taboo items? I am aware of no ibubprofen, NSAIDS etc but that cough medicine scared me...no more for me

So i have a cold...about 3am this morning i took some cough medicine and OMG it felt like it was burning a hole in my stomach i was almost in tears. And then it passed. Lemme preface this by saying i had been belching a lot last night...IDK if that contributed to it. But has anyone had similar issues with cold/cough syrup

I dont not get physically hungry. If I keep myself busy i will not feel the need to eat, but i definitely have the urge to eat and snack...and i get head hunger and cravings.

i am having a similar issue. My period has always been heavy but i notice that since surgery there is a day or two that is abnormally heavy. I spoke with my doc about it and he said that it's mostly hormonal and the body regulating itself. I assumed that my period would get lighter but initially I guess it will be heavier at first

gotta look into planking!

gotta try this!

Thanks Diva!

Thanks so much! this is definitely a daily struggle. If it was gonna be easy i never would've gotten to the point where i needed surgery

i use the generic store brand which is Omeprazole

Just to recap, I am almost 6 mos out. I hit my 100 lb mark about 5 weeks ago and it's been downhill from there. I am being dramatic but I have totally been pushing it, and I have been eating any and everything...in smaller portions of course, and gaining and losing the same four lbs...i am getting scared. I look and feel great, but i have at least 50 more lbs I wanna lose, and i dont wanna do surgery and weigh 245 lbs I am especially scared to fail. So I am seeing a psychologist...i guess I need to tackle the underlying issues and i want to before i totally spiral outta control. I guess knowing is half the battle. Wish me luck
