I get like that, along with other symptoms from stuff containing sugar. I never had an issue with sugar before surgery but now i am extremely sensitive to it. I have to check everything for hidden sugar. I have also heard of people feeling like that from eating too fast.

I have a goal: I would like to do a triathlon sometime in the next few years. It is a goal my husband and I want to do together. As soon as he finishes school in the spring, we will be dedicating a lot of time to training. I want to continue doing other races. In the last 2 1/2 months I have done a 12k and two 5k's. although, I am new to races and right now I just focus on finishing, not time

My original surgeons coordinator was like that. It was like she was playing games with me. I was self pay, so I took my business elsewhere. Not so sure if I would have done that if my insurance had already approved everything, like in your case. I would do what someone else mentioned and contact the office manager. She should not be allowed to treat you like that

I am interested in hearing replies also. I have a consultation with a local plastic surgeon next week. I have gone to my general doctor several times to document rashes to help prove my case. I will let you know what I find out too

To clarify, she understands wls, but I am pretty sure that I am her first client. So she is leaving the diet side of my health up to me. Our biggest goal right now is building muscle. In the past 2 months since working with her I lost 31 inches! I am not a measuring girl, it didnt interest me when i had surgery last August. Now i kind of wish i would have!

I am pretty sure that I am her first wls client. Or at least, openly admitted wls client. I am an unusual client for her as she normally focuses on diets also. But I had my diet under control already, and she is not familiar with our diets, so she is leaving me alone in that department which i prefer! lol Besides the diet, its business as usual. She kicks my butt!

I never discussed a goal weight with my surgeon. My personal trainer and I decided on 150 about 2 months ago. I started in August at 356 so that will put me at losing 206 total. I am currently down 162 pounds. Honestly, I just started to breathe easier once I got to "onederland". Before then, I was worried to set a goal

I've never had a "mortified" roller coaster experience. I just avoided them by saying I am scared of them. But last summer (before surgery) I was at the public pool with my kids and this 12 year old punk kid said to one of his friends as I walked by "they shouldn't even let fat people in the pool, they are so gross!" Talk about heartbreaking. I prayed my kids didnt hear it because I didnt want them to feel shame because of me.

I have pretended to my husband and kids for the past 15 years that I am terrified of roller coasters. The truth is, I was too big. I had surgery last August. Last month we went to the theme park and I went on every ride. I also went down all of the water slides with my daughter. We had so much fun! It was the best weekend of my life. I finally got to "Onederland", ran a 5K, rode on the back of my husbands motorcycle AND went on roller coasters!!!! Seriously love my sleeve!

The only one I can tolerate is splenda.

I wouldnt do it if it caused negative emotions. I weigh everyday, but I only record once week. So if its not record day, and i am up .5, then I think about what I did the day before that I could have done differently. More water, less carbs, more walking, etc. its a tool. But the number doesn't define me.

My surgery was 8/14 last year! Congrats on your surgery date! Its a good day

My personal trainer told me she would rather me weigh everyday than avoid the scale like I did for years. It holds me accountable I weigh every morning but only record once a week.

Thank you! I FEEL 10 years younger!!
