I am freezing all the time... even when it was 100 degrees this summer

Yes. I have been dealing with that too. Its hard to shower and get ready or even do anything
I'm hoping Vitamins will do the trick

Yes but in the afternoon or evening once in a while.

Hi Molly1978 yes I have experienced dizziness and alot of nausea in the morning not very fun! Maybe my sugars get too low because they've been low in the am's like 80 or below :/

So last night I had a dream that a group that I belong to was kidnaped and our lives were being threatened. It's crazy because the only thing I kept thinking was Oh CRAP!!! I'm going to miss my freaking surgery date!!! When I woke up I just laughed, at that was my only concern. Lol

I started Zumba about 2-3 weeks after surgery...it was a beast!!!! But I would make it thru. I do zumba (on my kids Xbox at home) when the weather doesn't allow me to get out and walk or when I'm bored with stationary bike

My family has burger king ,mcdonalds,deangelos and all kinds of good stuff (not) i am 5.5 weeks out my sister even ate a pizza in front of me ill be on normal foods in 2.5 weeks and my sister is going in for a vertical sleeve cant wait for her to have it done so i can eat a little food in front of her while she is on liquids lol. Having homemade chili tonight made with ground turkey instead of hamburg. Have not had a period yet sorry lol

Big don- maybe you're pregnant!!! Lol. I literally snorted when I read your post!

That's right! I am doing it for me and if I ate some of it, I'd barf anyways, right? I'm in my 3rd week, almost 4th week. I have an IUD as well but, I had my period the day after surgery in the hospital, and now I'm having one WAY worse than I think I can remember. I'm soooo mad! lol I'm not used to having these dang periods because of my IUD so, It's way weird.
The feeling of fitting into a size smaller is better than any piece of pizza, right?!

Glad you're doing better!

Had to spend the night in the hospital for observation. My right arm went numb. So I freaked out!! The word stroke kept entering my kind and those words did come out of the Drs mouth. Not fun. So I stayed positive and had a great support team by my side. So after x-rays, a CT scan and a MRI. Along with multiple neurological tests. NO STROKE!! Praise God. Official diagnosis is Thorasic outlet syndrome. I can live with that. So now focus is back on eating right and taking care of myself. Three weeks post-op 23 pounds down . So excited

I had a slice of pizza 8 weeks post op. I let it get really cold. I haven't had a period yet since surgery. I have an IUD so I rarely get a period anyways.

I got my first period since surgery today too. It was terrible! I've been tired and in pain with severe cramping and backaches. And the PMS was terrible too.
Could you pull the cheese and toppings off and just eat them?

But you're 34 pounds thinner according to your ticker. It's worth it girl!
Oh my first period was awful too...cramps galore. At first had me worried because I haven't had cramps in quite a while but, when you figure all the work done in there.....yup I can see why it happened.
Hope you feel better. Oh and.....when you can have solids (don't know what stage you're on) make a pizza using a low carb wrap or tortia I make them and they're great. I control the sauce and cheese to keep it healthy.

Uhm it could be nothing to do with you but him. My husband is 50 and was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate a few months ago and so to have sex he needs the little blue pill now. Your bf may be embarrassed so he chooses not to all the time because of this. Signs of it were he was going pee all the time waking up middle of the night to go then one day we tried and no getting it up

Thanks for the advice, we're good now. . I've never been with someone like him, so different. He's very sensitive and gets his feelings hurt easily so, it's hard for me to talk to him about stuff like this. In my past relationships I felt more at ease with bringing up difficult topics. Maybe I'm learning to be more gentle about these difficult topics through this relationship.

My surgery was April 26, 2012-high weight of 289...surgery date it was 262. Today its 193.8. How do I feel? Amazing. Despite two strictures...its cool fitting in those airline seats with no extensions. Its cool sitting in booths and not hitting the table. My energy levels are high...and riding those roller coasters and fitting in the seats are awesome.
50 lbs to go. I am now in size 16-18 pants... XL tops. (For most things) I never thought I would see these sizes again. One day at a time.

27lbs since surgery
62lbs since journey started

I am 4 months 3 days post op.
Before begining the Weight Loss Program I was 430lbs. day of surgery 409 lbs. As of this evening 300.4lbs!!!! For a whopping total of 130lbs since my journey started!
I too have difficulty clothes shopping. I pick something I like but people tell me its too baggy because all of my life I was so used to picking that type of clothing. Pick form fitting clothes and something that is "Actually" your size and you'd be surprised!
I am no longer on blood pressure meds, pre diabetic, or have sleep apnea- things just get better and better every day!
I have started the insanity work out and do what i can until i build myself to the full work outs...
My sisters wedding is in 20 days and I have never felt better than to go to a tux fitting and need a size smaller than what was originally ordered!
keep up the great work everyone! I love reading the threads here and keeping myself motivated to keep up my new life and trying new things!

I stalled from week 5-7 it was horrible! But also very normal... No worries
Surgery 7/25/12

I was at a stall from week 5 to 6 I weighed 241 then all the sudden the next day I was 235, so 6 pounds dropped magically over night... Good luck!

I figured out what's making me feel like I wanna crawl out of my skin and feel so jittery its a side effect to compazine an anti nauseous med I was given. I react the same way to reglan I've oh my josh I hate this feeling but at least I found the cause and hopefully will be out of my system in 24 hours.

Totally with ya there I can't wait for this to pass total of 24 pounds down and am sure feeling run down.

Although... On second thought I could go run a marathon & tell myself the clapping is my fans cheering me on. Bahahaha! Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. Thanks for the recommendations.
