I was getting that feeling 24/7 as well. I get it now sometimes too. Are you drinking a lot of Water? Intaking enough Protein? When I told my doctor about it she said if you see your leg getting swollen then you should worry bc those are signs of blood clotting. Other than that she said those side effects were normal. Good luck with your doctor appt. I am sure it isn't anything bad.

Thanks! I was hoping for more. I need to get in my protein and water...oh and exercise!

Ok so my weight loss had slowed down. and I still haven't signed up at a gym. Shame on me!!!! I need to do this. Today's weigh in 231.5

Weigh in for today is 231! I'm losing sloooowly, but hey I'm still losing!

Thank you all for your comments It's been an awesome experience so far. Trying on clothes is no longer depressing. Now I have to work on working out. To me that's the hard part, but I know I can do it. The fun has just begun! There is no better feeling than being happy with yourself :-D

Exactly 1 month and 10 days out. 43 lbs down!!!!! My before and now :-) [ATTACH]4584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4585[/ATTACH]

My surgeon suggested taking biotin if I was experiencing hair loss. Good luck!!!

Hmmm...idk I get that feeling with one bite. So I don't think I'm full with one bite. I see my surgeon Thursday for my one month post op appt. I will see what she has to say and fill you in with the info I receive.

Has anyone gotten stomach pain while eating? Everytime I eat I get stomach pains and growling while I eat. It goes away after 2 mins. Then I have another bite and again it repeats.

Starting weight 274 Weight at surgery day 7-17-2012- 258 Current weight 238 Total loss to day- 36lbs

I'm in!!! Sleeved 7/17/2012 Pre-surgery weight: 274 CW: 240.6 GW: 220 I'm working out starting tomorrow and definitely take in more Protein and liquids. :-)

Yesterday I made refried beans with some ff cheese and also made tuna (pureed) to bring into work today. So I had my refried beans and very little of tuna just to try it and five minutes later I got this horrible lower back pain. I dont know if it was gas or what it was but it didnt go away for about two hours. Now I am scared to eat. I have been having baby food and I was fine. Has this happened to anyone?

Ugh. This is such horrible pain :-(

Ate my purees a little of refried beans and tuna. As soon as I was done I got this horrible pain in my back. Its been thirty minutes now and won't go away :-( help!!!!!

I completely understand what your saying! I am going through the same. I haven't had that "full" feeling yet. And I keep wondering "did they remove an enough amount of my stomach?". I also want to feel that full feeling where my body tells me "that's it your done for this meal". I am thinking I haven't got that feeling because I am only in my puree stage. My biggest fear is stretching my stomach. Hang in there. Hopefully things will get better!

Have you gotten to the point where you feel full? I haven't yet but, then again I have been mostly having broth. I think I am so paranoid of stretching my stomach.

So I started my 3rd Week (Purees) yesterday and I am wondering what everyone else is eating and how many times a day are you eating. Also, how many Protein drinks a day? I have been enjoying my homemade Soup broths that I kind of don't want to let go of having soup. But, I also noticed I am starting to get hungry. Can I get some input please.

Congrats! Keep up the great work!

I was sleeved on July 17th and as soon as I woke up in the recovery room all I could do was cry and ask myself why did I put myself through this. Trust me its the pain talking. Today I feel so happy I did this surgery. I am 32lbs down! If I didn't do the surgery I would still be feeling sad with my 274lbs. Please hang in there. It does get better! Hope you two feel better soon!

It was lack of vitamins. I started to take B12 and feeling so much better.

I started purees yesterday. I bought baby food (stage 1) not feeling full yet, but not feeling hungry either. I'm just very scared of stretching my stomach after all this hard work. I am also drinking my protein drinks again (yuck!). Lol. Btw I am down two pounds!!!

Also, how do you know when your full? I have been having broth and haven't felt the feeling of being ”full”. I stop after my 7th sip bc I'm scared of stretching my stomach. could you please give me some feedback on this.

Ok. I am definitely going to start my protein drinks again. Thanks ladies!
