Yup- it went away and came back now. The NP said it was normal and nothing to worry about. Eat slow to avoid swallowing air.

3.5!and alwaysnphysically hungry. Nthe ghtelin reduction lastedvx3 weeks and true, stomach hunger came back in full force.

I had terrible problems at first...as in poop getting stuck 1/2 in 1/2 out and extricating pain, MOM was such a help and gave me explosive...but so well relieving diarrhea . Maintenance is 2 colace, 6 psyllium Fiber gal caps and a touch of miralax.b. psyllium is really for cholesterol.

6 months out you should be able to take descent sips. I am 3 months Ana can finish a snapped in 5. My trick is to plan my begs by size. Whether you work or not, decide you will do 5 12 ounce beverages. You'll finish 1 by x time, the second by y time etc... It's an old WW trick. If you fail to plan, plan to fail. Drinking was hard for mes, but the schedule helped. If I was going to the mall, I knew that I had to drink 2 12 oz drinks and I threw them in my bag...

Everyone is so beautiful and such an inspiration!

Yes

Yes, NASH damages the livers ability to break down fat because it is engulfed in fat. I started taking milk thistle and probiotics, who knows...good news is that. NASH improves as you lose weight. It might take longer but you are healing your liver in the process. NASH is such an unrecognized side effect of obesity. When I got my diagnosis I flipped, and needed to learn a,l that I could.

My reward for losing 40 lbs. Any tips on traveling to Florence for sleevers....good things, places to eat. I will bring some protein with me, but want to experience italiano fare! Suggested for travel in general would be much appreciated!!!!

To build on that, today...protein bar, chicke/bean/corn salad and sashimi for dinner. So lots of protein today...was so easy to get back on track. In the Past I would've been off the rails on my crazy train.

Do you have fatty liver syndrome?, metabolic syndrome or syndrome x? PCOS? There are real and true cases where weight loss will be painfully slow...like me. I am losing, but 6 pounds per month is my MAX. The one sure fire cure to not losing for me is exercise. My body can be as efficient as it wants, but there is no doubting the caloric requirements of. 60 minutes on the treadmill!!!

6 Oreos were over several hours, not all at once. But still...pretty bad.

I had no appetite at all for 6 weeks. I thought the ghrelin removal worked great. Now 3 months out, I have about 50 percent of my appetite back. Some days, it seems like higher. It's so much better than the constant hunger before. But this is not head hunger, this is feel it in your belly growling hunger at times.

I take 6 capsules of psyllium husk fiber every night. It helps with the regularity and is great for bringing down cholesterol. I agree, MOM is gross. I was sooooo constipated at first. I found that putting the MOM in the fridge and drinking it as cold as possible helped. Once I got passed that horrible phase, I leveled out with a comfortable daily deposit thanks to the psyllium. PS. I got the psyllium at BJs.

3 weeks at the same weight. Following the diet, with occasional cheat. A potato chip here, a cookie there....but WAY less than I ever ate pre-surgery. I am 3 months out and can tolerate anything. The dry chicken breast gets me...but that is it. Anyway, yesterday I was home cleaning all day and that is my toughest. Being home, my tendency is to eat. So I did (at my new reduced level). 1 protein bar, 2 single serving bags of veggies chips, 2 string cheeses, 6 Tyson wings, 6 Oreos, 2 pieces of Bonnie bell cheese over an 18 hour period. And today...I lost 1.5 lbs.
