  1. I closed the support group in meet up because of no response. If you are serious about starting a support group I will re start the group and plan an event. Let me know.
  2. I'm in Queens too we need a support group.
  3. I'm losing a lot of hair. Im drinking biotin twice a day.
  4. I'm having trouble with drinking water I just don't desire it anymore. Any ideas?
  5. I think I'm not eating lunch at work anymore the sounds are killing me so embareasing ugggh doc said to drink protonix and levisin for gas. This sucks. Maybe I'm eating to fast too slow too much I don't know.
  6. I feel embarrassed eating around people cause my stomach starts making funny noises. Anyone else experience the belly sounds.
  7. Update - I'm home from the hospital thank God no surgery required. I was severely de hydrated I stopped drinking fluids on Monday I would take little sips here and there but not enough. The reason I wasn't taming down fluids is because it would give me that gurguling sound not good when you are at work. The doctor did a contrast ct and a stomach X-ray everything looks good. He put me back on phase 1 until I feel well enough to eat again. I just can't eat or drink I need to figure something out. He also said as my stomach heals it gets tighter so that is part of what I'm going through he also said try to eat a little piece of something every hour to see if that helps. Ugg this sucks! I was doing great now this. Hope its a temporary thing. I that k God it was not worse.
  8. Nurse just came in and asked me if the surgery team came to see me she didnt want to tell me why they are coming to see me. Now I'm really freaking out I'm so scared!!!!
  9. Sleeved on 2/20 lost a total of 25 lbs this sucks!!!! I thought by now I would be down 50 I went from a size 18 to 14 let's see.
  10. I am in the hospital as I type this, I was sleeved on 2/20 everything went fine until last week I couldn't eat or drink without having pain and discomfort today I felt extremely weak had slight fever and almost passed out. My doctor told me to come to the ER I'm a bit worried :/.
  11. I was sleeved 2/20 I'm down 18lbs they weight is coming off slow but that's OK cause I'm melting in inches I dropped 2 dress sizes 18-14. I started working out also could be why weight loss is slow I'm replacing fat with muscle. I already gave a bag of clothes away I will never see size 18 again!
  12. The itching was all over my stomach its gone now. The dr said its from the heprin shots.
  13. I was sleeved on the 20th same thing I was stuck at 203 for five days at 10 days post op then it started to come off now I'm stalling again. Its frustrating!
  14. I no longer count calories I count protein grams lol.
  15. You know and will do what's best for you, I tell people when you walk a mile in my shoes then you can give your opinion. No one but us know the struggle, pain of carrying this excess weight for so long. Screw what people think, I only told a very select few the ones who I knew would support me the others will be in awe to see me lose so much weight and hopefully jump on the bandwagon of getting healthier.
