Im allways hungry allways have been since surgery.but thank got i can only eat a small portion of food.and have lost 93lbs in 6 months.so it cant be that bad.

Sw was 250lbs 22 september i have lost 81 lbs in 6 months .its amazing but it is getting hard now.today i weigh in at 163 lbs.i want to get down to 126 lbs.so waych yhis space lol.

Well done you look great.

Every one who looses weight quickly.wether natural or surgical will have some hair loss.but it will come back when we stop losing.just look after what youve got.

Both my dogs did.as long as thier clean and desease free itl be ok.which you know your own dog is clear.

Sept 20th 70lbs lost.started at 17st 12lbs.now im 12st 12lbs. 5stone in nearly 4 months amazing.would never have done it without th sleeve.but its getting harder now.i find i can eat more .i want to loose another 3 and 1/2 stone .fingers crossed hey.

Has anyone found a change in their urine color? Mine has been dark orange since the surgery' date=' even while in the hospital on IV. At first, I shrugged it off as just 'body's in shock,' etc., but I'm on Day 7 post-op now, and it's still dark.

Of course, the obvious cause is dehydration. I've been drinking like a fiend...got in 60+ oz yesterday. Got 50+ oz the last three days. I don't "feel" dehydrated. I mentioned the color to both the surgeon and his nurse yesterday at my one-week post-op visit, as well as a nurse who called to do a follow-up, and everyone is saying the same thing. Drink, drink, drink.

No pain, no other real symptoms, per se, but weird.

Anyone else experiencing this, or ideas?

Thanks![/quote']

Im 4 mths out an mine is still dark even when i wipe it colours the paper.but im not dehydrated ?

Thank you

Wow i never thought it would have come off this quick.its great i can eat what i want and loose weight its crazy and amazing.thank god for the sleeve lol

Ive lost 47lbs since 20th of september.yippeeeee for sleevie.cant fault it in anyway very happy

I' date=' too, was sleeved Monday and I am experiencing what you have said to a T. I am definitely in the regret stage of this process. I can't drink warm or cold (especially cold) because it feels like an elephant standing on my stomach. I've been walking and having my husband beat on my back and that helps during that moment. If you find anything that helps, let me know and I will let you know if I stumble on any miracle help![/quote']

Try drinking gatorade.it got me through the first 2 weeks.

You cant get liquid in becouse of the swelling of the new stomach.iwas the same .each week it gets better in lots of ways.as for the gas take gas x and a liquid acid reducer.and walk lots.it will get better i can promise you that .youl be happy in a few weeks when the weight starts dropping off.its the best thing iv ever done money well spent .good luck think possitive.

Beware...I had a very nasty experience with compaction about 2 weeks out! It was like giving birth...so do yourself a favor and start taking a stool softener and some Fiber daily! Good luck!

I can relate to this.my bowels was contracting on its own.like trying to get rid of it all.yuk disgusting lol

Im 7weeks out.and only go once a week.every tuesday infact lol.and its absolutely agony.my nose runs my eyes Water i shake get goose bumps.its wierd.gonna start taking liquid sennor to see if it will help

Well done.keep up the good work

I would tell myself.its so easy an nothing to worry about.im only 6wks out and down 42lbs.i could never have done this without the sleeve.but i think im very lucky .i havnt had any problems ,recovery was fine.i can tolerate practically anything in very small portions.im so glad i had it done.never once have i thought what have i done.it has really supprised me.i dont feel like iv had anything done .its just you cant eat much .which is what we want rite !!.

Thanks for all the info .its good to know others have gone through it.and come out the other end.looks like i better start saving my ass off again lol.

Hi all has any one on here had a full body lift a year or so after the surgery.if so what was it like.and how much does it cost.i think im gonna need it eventually.

Go back on liquids.the food your eating is a bit to much for only being week2. Stomach is still swollen alot at this piont.it needs a few weeks to calm down an get used to foods again .kinda like a babies stomach.and try some Decaf green tea for nausea.

Itl be over before you know it.but i never felt any differant .just a bit tired the first week.when you start to eat proper food.then youl be fine.i can tolerate anything so far.chocolate is a bit sugary tasting i dont like it any more yippee.

I didnt have any nausea at all.still dont.ive been very lucky.i dont feel like ive had anything done other than the scars and feeling full off 2 bites of something irs great.

Sounds like ur dehydrated.they are th symptoms

I was outa hospital in a day and a half.bit tired th first week.iwent bk to wrk th second wk.u wont know till you have it done really

5 wks out and have lost 36 pounds.its coming off but very slow.most of the weight came off in the first 2weeks after surgery

I am drinking water' date=' it just leaves me feeing uncomfortable. It is not refreshing as it was. Anything else is too sweet. Lemon aid is okay. May be I need to try different temps. Warm is better. I miss ice cold though.[/quote']

I lived off gatorade zero.cos everything else just tastes to sweet
