First, your weight is going to fluctuate. I have had to get used to that idea, too. Second, my guess is that the fruit and other carbs/sugars are sabotaging your diet. My nutritionist explained that the first phases of the diet put you in ketosis. That causes the fat to burn off quickly. If you want to be in ketosis, you must severely limit sugars and carbs. Fruit is full of sugar. I don't know about your Greek and light and fit yogurt. They may be carb heavy. Does the yogurt have fruit or added sugar? Is it 0% fat? Just a thought.

Maybe if your stomach is connected to your reproductive system.

Don't worry about the things you are worried about. You haven't stretched your sleeve and, given that you are complication free at this point, it is unlikely you will have a problem later. I don't know how far along you are, but it appears perhaps only about two weeks. Eating too little is not a concern at this stage. What you need to concentrate on is getting the necessary Fluid and Protein amounts. If you are doing that you are eating the right quantity. It won't hurt to try one more bite the next time. Believe me, you will know when you have eaten too much and it won't take but a few times to learn what your "full" indicators are and to heed them. The hair falling out is a temporary situation and almost all of us have it happen. My doctor says there is nothing that can be done to keep it from happening, so there is no point in spending time worrying about it.

I haven't seen those comments either. However, I think most comments like that would come from immaturity.

If I understood the question right, you don't have the job yet and are wondering if you should tell them before they hire you. My answer is a resounding "No." Take the job if offered and then put in for leave for the surgery.

I don't think it necessary to have someone with you. I was pretty much sleeping except for those periods when I took walks. I think it is more important to have someone around when you get out of the hospital. As far as your belongings go, each hospital has a way of keeping track of and securing those. My experience has been that the belongings do not follow you from step to step. If you are concerned about how your particular hospital does this, ask your surgeon's office or call the hospital directly.

Your plan is fine, just make sure the Calcium is calcium citrate.< /p>

Two months for the fresh veggies and I can't eat a big anything.

Three points. The "no water" rule is there so that the food fills your small stomach up AND food will take a lot longer to move on if it is not liquified. This technique leats to an increase of satiety, which helps keep you in control. When I heard this it didn't make sense till I researched it a bit. Makes sense now, so you have a new habit to develop!
The food diary is to help the NUT work with you on YOUR eating habits. It is not a trick to bump you from the process. Once I was into my "prep" phase, I realized that it would be wise to change my eating ways as best I could, and now I am glad that I did.
And three... No easy way to say this. The Sleeve is not magical, and while 'restriction' is a major outcome of the weight loss after surgery, remember that about 20% DO NOT succeed at long term weight loss. The only way to succeed is to change your eating habits and activity habits... for a long time (like always). Yes you have anything as a treat... but not a routine life of 'sliders' foods.

Consider Gas X strips to help with the belching.

It's time to call your doctor. Not one of us is qualified to diagnose your problem and it is of concern that it happened after two months.

That sucks. I'm really sorry. However, have you read the posts by hundreds of people on here who have all sorts of maladies remedied by losing weight? I am not a doctor so I'm not sure if the surgery will help with all of what ails you but it certainly can't hurt. I was 260 lbs prior to surgery with no co morbidities. My only weight related issue were chronically sore ankles which I attributed to the physiology of how I walked. I was wrong and now that I'm down 60+ lbs, no more sore ankles. I did this because my parents were both obese for most of their lives and suffered many illnesses because of it. sleep apnia, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart and kidney disease and shortness of breath were all genetically pre determind for me if i didn't make a change. Once you have your surgery and you start to lose weight I guaranty that, in the very least, you'll feel better. Probably a lot better. Promise.

I have an auto immune disease ( MS) and I can say that losing weight has helped a lot with mobility and just my quality of life. Things can only get better for you . Good luck !

*hugs*
Holy guacamole. You have so many challenges and struggles to face every day, and I think you're truly a warrior for facing them--even with fear, feelings of sadness, all the gloom that follows many of us around when we feel bad for being overweight.
You should be proud. Many others would simply curl into a ball and stop functioning completely. Fragile? I think you're stronger than you realize, emotionally and mentally, if not physically (yet)!
Where are you in your WLS journey? If you're just starting out, believe me, this board can be a source of comfort and inspiration--and one day soon, you will be telling a success story that will inspire someone else who is feeling very breakable. Hang in there; you're not alone!

Sorry for your experience. I had a hernia repair, too, but, fortunately for me, had no gas pains whatsoever.

Watch some Water aerobics videos and incorporate those moves into your pool exercise.

You must be relieved and we are, too. Thanks for the update.

My opinion--go to the ER. You have no idea what is causing these problems and neither do we.

I never get hungry. Supposedly the doctor cuts out the part of the stomach that "feels hungry." I don't know about that, I just know I am never hungry.
My stomach does not feel different at all.

You sound very normal. Remember the reasons you are having the surgery. That puts it all back into perspective again.

I love your attitude about the diet. It is easy to focus negatively on the diet and some do, but two weeks isn't even a blip on the timeline of life. You'll do well.

I had concerns before surgery, too. What I know now is that there have been only three changes to my daily schedule: what and how much I eat, the pills I take and the exercise I get. The result is weight loss and improvements to my health and quality of life. My adjustment period was about one month.

Feel great about your weight loss. Their opinion is meaningless and their manners nonexistent. Their behavior says a lot about them and nothing about you. Hang in there and know you are on a good path.
