  1. It very well could be dehydration... im going to send my fiance for some poweraid zero! Hopefully thats all there is to it. Thanks!
  2. Hello, For the past 2 days i have been experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness.When i woke up this morning i almost fainted... Before i freak out and go pay $200 for a doctors visit i thought it might be wise to see if it could be related to my sleeve, Im 6 months out and have been loosing steadily for the most part. I was naughty on monday and ate some junk food with my bestie (which is very rare) but today is friday... maybe im low on something nutritional?? Id appreciate any advice or ideas! Thanx Shelly
  3. Lookin forward to a less sticky New Orleans!!!!!
  4. OMG! I'm so happy this is normal. Lol I've been so scared thinking I'm gonna die!! I felt great last week but I'm guessing it's the anemia that has me so down. I have a client who is a gyn I think I'm gonna ask her for advice, and possibly a b12 shot!! Thank you all so much for sharing! You are all a blessing!!!
  5. Hello, I was sleeved 13 days ago, I'm down 20 lbs -- but I have now had my period for 11 days?!?! For the past 3 or 4 days I have been freezing cold constantly (it's been beautiful 70 degrees here in New Orleans ) I have also been so weak and tired. Just wondering if anyone else has had this post op?? Ps. I've been doing fairly well with my nutrition so I think it's more period related.
  6. I just had my surgery Monday. I know every dr is different but my doc just had me fast the day before and do a cleanse with magnesium citrate (which is awful) but my surgery went beautifully. I feel great only 4 days out other than some gas pains. I paid cash. I kinda feel like a bunch if that **** they make you do is for insurance. But when you just fork over 14000.00 cash its kinda straight forward. Just do your thing girl. Do your very best and worst come to worst fast and flush!
  7. I'm so excited to know some people before going!! I think it's the only thing keeping me from being scared witless!!
  8. I'm still going. I know it's frightening but I'm just not going to bring much with me. No cash or valuables. Which sucks because my engagement ring never comes off but I guess I have no choice.
  9. I'm the 19th!!! I'll prob see ya at the recovery house.
  10. Wow. Nice to hear someone else did the e ciggy! This is the end of day 2 and I'm doing ok. Carl on the other hand is on his day one and having it a bit rough. I hope tomorrow will be easier for him too!!! I have been having the munchies. But I have plenty fresh fruits and vegies to snack on!!
  11. I was wrong about it. Thank god I checked before I booked my flight! Im not sure where I'll be staying yet. Have you found any reasonable prices? It seems so pricy to just stay overnight lol but I guess it is what it is.
  12. Hmm that's interesting. I thought you has to take it for a full month before the quit date. I'm gonna google this!! And Lori I forgot to tell you. My surgery is on the 20 th as well. We are the same day!!! My mom is looking forward to meeting you too! I'm so excited to know someone else going the same time!!!!
  13. Being pre op I don't think I can afford the chantix. I have budgeted myself so tight just to afford the surgery. My bestie just quit w chantix too. She is doing great! Since last post I have felt a bit better. I'm hoping that the morning will get even easier!!! Sassy, the carrots are a great idea. I just bought a bunch today for juicing but that sounds like a neat trick!! Thanks for the support!!!!!!! Ps. Carl has forgiven me for biting his head off. And is being so supportive he is going to give quitting a try himself!!
  14. Ok ya'll I bought an electric cigg and put down the butts today, I think i just broke up with my fiance... Im totally loosing my ****!! I didnt think it would be this bad. This makes dieting seem like a dream come true.. atleast you can still eat something!! This e-cigg is helping with the mental and hand to mouth thing ok, but im still feeling like scratching someones eyes out. Prey for Carl ya'll...
  15. Ok ok. I cab deal with the facial hair. I own a waxing salon so I think I'll be fine. Lol. The hair loss thing bites because I'm already practically bald on top. But it's exciting that my hair will come back!!! I think my only regret with this surgery is going to be that I didn't do it sooner. Thank you minimommy. Congrats on your miracle! I know how hard it can be w pcos. I hope you are able to get your surgery, where will you be going? Does anyone else think it's wacky that 38 is "late" to have a baby? In France most women wait till their 30s before starting a family. Although most other countries dont shove all kinds of junk in the foods that give us infertility like pcos. Ok now I'm babbling.
  16. Wow! That's so amazing. I hope that happens for me! I honestly wouldn't even know what a normal cycle is! Mine has been wacky as long as I've had it. I'm going to get my surgery next month. I'm so excited I wish it were tomorrow!
  17. WHAAAT? I can't even imagine!?!?! I also have a bunch or the pcos symptoms like facial hair and hair thinning on top and cysts/boils on my body. Did you have any of that? If so I hope it's gotten better! The pcos is the main reason for me doing this. I can't stand to live with all this. Plus my fiancées wife passed from cancer that started as pcos. Can you imagine?!? I could never do that to him again. Loosing his wife was very hard on him and being able to open his heart again only to find someone headed for the same place has got to scare him more than he let's on. Looking forward to having a normal cycle!!!
  18. Same here girl! How long post surgery did it take for your periods to regulate?
  19. South beach skin solutions. We sell this at my salon for backside lightening. But can be used anywhere. Quite expensive but worth every penny!!
  20. Yay! That's awesome! Don't worry they will come around. For some reason people think its going to be a dog grooming/furniture store/weight loss surgery shack lol but to hell with what they think now because a year from now they will all feel very different! Can't wait to meet ya Lori! See ya in a few weeks sista!!
