Ms skinniness

Oregondaisy I'm right there with you.....Maybe protein drinks for a day and some salads with fresh veggies for the munchies. I need to get away from the peanuts.....and everything.......How long are you going to try this? Hope to hear how it goes too.

Right now you have a lot of hormonal stuff going on....It's normal. Sit back and focus on getting your water in and proteins and you will be just fine.....we really didn't need that extra 85% of our stomachs anyways.

I lost my weight and look really skinny so I thought I'd go in when I was walking by. I so wanted to buy something that was high quality and cute and sexy. But when I seen the quality of the cloth and the prices, I had decided to just keep moving a long....I am so thankful I wasn't being supportive to some arrogant Assho** person. May his sole rest in horrible conflict! Too top it off, he is very ugly toooooooo. At least fat people are beautiful........

This is really hard to speculate. I know it's really hard to be patient. the best answer you can get is from the surgeon's office. Call the surgeon's office and ask the front desk if they can give you an estimated time frame. I was a referral from Kaiser and it took a few months. But some people on here have gotten their surgeries scheduled really quickly too......So the best answer will come from your surgeon's office....

Hi Amanda, can you share your recipe with us? It sounds absolutely delicious.....

If your experiencing diarrhea then that can contribute to dehydration. I would take a few days off. Also call your surgeon's office and talk with them in addition to increasing your fluid intake. My regimen was water, water, water, protein, protein, protein. Most people that I have read on VST were having difficulties with constipation and a few with diarrhea. Wishing you good health and getting back on track really really soon.

I've been sleeved and look really good right now... I want to travel some..... spend time with my grand children in Washington D.C. Go stay in the mountains to recharge visit with dear childhood friend that I miss dearly finish work on my house and cabin Humm, I basically want to just plain enjoy life with my new hot body.... Life is good!

I've always eaten every 3 hours in small amounts and I don't eat after 7:00pm.....

This is a frightening thing for us to go through. We are warned about the hair loss in the beginning but when it happens, we all get freaked out. The good news is, your on the way to a healthier lifestyle with many extra benefits to come. Your hair for your finest asset and will be again bc it does grow back rather rapidly too......Gosh, my hair growth drives me crazy because I have to die it more often because of the rapid hair growth.....And I am pretty close to my goal (personal) I've already made my Dr's goal. I love my body image and size now too..... I'm 5'6" and I weight in at 145 at the present moment.... Yep, this is fabulous so I hope you can get a smile and see how wonderful life is going to be.......

This is a great topic. Last Wednesday I had a horrible experience that made me really sick. I had a HA so I decided to take a Tylenol with cod #4. I ate something before I took it. I ended up with a horrible pain in my stomach that worked itself down towards my intestines, which were already achy. I got a sensation to go throw it up. I went into the bathroom an sat down and my head started whirling. I passed out onto the floor and ended up vomiting and diarrhea at the same time. Scared the He** out of my family and myself. I was sick for 2 days. I seldom ever throw up. I've always taken 2 tylenol with cod #4 with no ill effects. So now I will avoid Tylenol with Cod #4 due to it could have been an overdose. So we really need to be proactive when getting prescriptions from our PCP's because they sometimes don't realize the effects of meds. And I will not take any NSAIDS due to this reaction. Sorry if there was TMI. This is such a learning experience.

I have you in my prayers! you are going through this.

I wish I had the answers to the above posters. It would truly be helpful. I would suggest going back to basics. Meaning protein first. Check out LilMissDiva's Basic Bootcamp. It helps to restart.

OMG where's the Oreos. Damn not I have to try not to think about Oreos. . I got this. Did i Miss the grumpy people? Lol

I am right here with you.....I also know that this is a support group and in a support group there are many different types of people in them. There are people that will challenge you and it might feel mean, but it also helps give a boost. There are people that take offense at the way others post here. If something bothers me, then i don't respond because I don't care what they are saying anyways.....They don't know me. But I will go back and reread what I posted and if it could somehow be interpreted in a negative way. After all, people are people and we are all unique......

I'd get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible as well as a pillow.... Wish I could go in your suitcase. LOL

I'am also shouting it out! I also am living a happy wonderful life on a daily basis.............Keep it up everyone..........

Ouch, it's looks painful....>Can't wait to see the after pics........You have done a great job, keep it up....

Dehydration is horrible. Symptoms of dehydration usually begin with thirst and progress to more alarming manifestations as the need for Water becomes more dire. The initial signs and symptoms of mild dehydration in adults appear when the body has lost about 2% of it's total Fluid. These mild dehydration symptoms are often (but not limited to): Thirst Loss of Appetite Dry Skin Skin Flushing Dark Colored Urine Dry Mouth fatigue or Weakness Chills Head Rushes If the dehydration is allowed to continue unabated, when the total fluid loss reaches 5% the following effects of dehydration are normally experienced: Increased heart rate Increased respiration Decreased sweating Decreased urination Increased body temperature Extreme fatigue Muscle cramps Headaches Nausea Tingling of the limbs When the body reaches 10% fluid loss emergency help is needed IMMEDIATELY! 10% fluid loss and above is often fatal! Symptoms of severe dehydration include: Muscle spasms Vomiting Racing pulse Shriveled skin Dim vision Painful urination Confusion Difficulty breathing Seizures Chest and Abdominal pain unconsciousness Be aware that these are not the only symptoms of severe dehydration that may manifest in response to dehydration, these are simply the most common. Symptoms of dehydration will differ from person to person because the body is a complex network of systems and everyone's body is different. When these systems are disturbed due to loss of fluids there will be several common symptoms shared by most bodies, but there may also be unusual or unexpected responses depending on the particular person in question. Age also plays a part in the manifestation of symptoms. Signs of dehydration in a child will not be the same as those experienced by a teenager, adult or in the elderly. Dehydration prevention is the best treatment for every age group. heatstroke is always around the corner. I still am focusing on getting my water in everyday before food.

Wow, you have lost that much weight in 4 months?/?? That's fantastic....That actually sounds quite normal. When we step back and look at the big picture, the quick losers and the slow losers end up in the same place just at certain times. Also the slow users have time for their skin to shrink and not look so baggy...... Sit back if you can and enjoy the loses......
