Eureka-C

While at the hospital, they gave me a glycerin swab for my dry mouth. It was a sponge on a stick. It saved me when my mouth was so dry my cheeks were sticking to my gums.
I really didn't use any time occupying materials, as When I wasn't sleeping, I was trying to walk and once allowed, sip some Protein.

Really??!! Never enjoy a meal again. What a horribly negative and I believe totally false thing to say. There may be some people who's tastes change to find they enjoy different things, but to never enjoy a meal again?

It's fake crab meat made from whitefish. I like them cold or you can chop it up and make crab salad. 3 g Protein.< /p>

I have been noticing in several posts that people report feeling colder after this surgery. Some people attribute it to the weight loss, but others say they have lost large amounts of weight before and not had this effect. I decided to do some research. There are several articles that say increasing ghrelin increases body temperature. This article suggests that rats that don't produce ghrelin have trouble regulating body temperature in cold environments. They also have less nonREM sleep, (more dream time, less deep restful sleep), but they stay awake better during the day. I guess what is interesting to me is this hormone is a big player in sleep and thermo-regulation. I was wondering what others have personally noticed about their changes in sleep and ability to adjust to cold or hot temperatures.
Personally. I have noticed I sleep less, 6-7 hours at night. I feel awake but tire easily (which I think is more related to surgery recovery). I have definitely felt colder and always have a blanket over me.

I would just leave it as-is until your scale catches up with your ticker.

I am noticing patterns in my weight. It goes something like this
weigh morning 241.6
weigh mid morning 240.9
weight night 244.4
Weigh morning 242.2
weigh night 243.6
weigh morning 240.4
weight night 244.2
weigh morning 241.0
weigh night 242.6
weigh morning 239.4
weigh night 241.9
weigh morning 240.6
and on and on and on...
I am losing only one pound a week some weeks, others (like this week) I lose up to 4 pounds. Even though my weight fluctuates greatly daily, and even throughout the day, there is a weekly pattern of losing. My lowest weights occur about 2 hours after I get up. I like knowing what my body is doing, so I weigh a lot. Sometimes I just get on the scale and stare at it, because it has been soooooo long since I have seen it this low. I pay attention to the lows, not the highs. My goal each time is to get lower than my last lowest, which happens about every 3 to 4 days, sometimes by only a fraction of a pound. It works for me. Point is, for me anyway, weight fluctuates tremendously. BTW, the day before my TOM, I gained four pounds.

"my nutritionist said it is the number 1 reason for re-weight gain after weight-loss surgery."
I would love to see some research to back this up.
