  2. I get very dizzy and lightheaded to and the room either goes white or black and I almost pass out. I just had labs down last month and my iron and D were low, so I have been supplementing them. I keep carbs around 30grams per day so I am sure I am in ketosis, but is that what is causing this dizzy spells?
  3. I don't have a fever, and I have started walking and doing cardio but nothing heavy duty. Where do you think you read about the 7th week having weird symptoms?
  4. So number one I am dumb, like seriously dumb. I have been called a blonde like multiple times in the past week. I started to write what I did then erased it because it was so dumb. #2 I have a very weird tingling sensation on my upper left back below my shoulder blade.. #3 muscle pain everywhere #4 Lightheaded I have keep up with the Protein and Vitamins (multi w Iron, b12, cal cit, vit d) I will plan to call my doc on Monday, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this crazy stuff go on?

  11. I would never in a million years believe that I could lose 40lbs in a month and a half! It has been amazing seeing my body transform and the amount of joy it has brought to my life. I am so grateful to myself and my doctor who recommended this surgery. I can now can start living my life instead of hiding like I did all throughout my 20's. I started my pre op weight loss at 309lbs and now weigh 250lbs!!! The top is my before picture

  13. I just had this conversation with myself today. I ate a cheese stick felt uncomfortably full and couldn't believe it. I have never felt this way ever!

  15. I think I would live in regret if I didn't have a food funeral, I would recommend you eat what ever your little heart desires but in moderation.
  16. you so not alone! I am almost 4 weeks post op and it is getting a ever so slightly better. I love that your NUT called it food porn, hahaha.
  17. Today was my first day back to work too! I took a shake to work, and it took me 3 hours to drink it and I couldn't even think of putting anything else into my mouth. I am trying to make up for my protein now, but yikes it was hard today.
  18. My doctor didn't even mention leak, maybe because I originally wanted the band?? Is a leak something I need to be afraid of for the rest of my life? I am so scared when I ate something I am going to cause a leak. Like I just ate egg salad and it isn't sitting well with me and I am going into a panic attack that I am going to cause a leak.. Any insight on this?

  23. 10 days after my surgery my belly was COVERED with a rash and hives. I took benadryl orally, applied benadryl cream alternating with hydocortisone cream. I was so miserable, it lasted about 5-7 days.
  24. Is the reaction right on the injection site?
  25. I am http://www.youtube.com/user/ditsdish?feature=mhee
