It's falling out rapidly... So much that I simply dread washing or brushing my hair. I'm so sad!!!! Any suggestions!!! I have been taking biotin daily since surgery

i have had the same experience on 2 different occassions. Both times were later... called "late" dumping. Your sugar most likely spiked after the wine... then dropped really really low because your body produced too much insulin to bring it down. That is how it was explained to me. I started sweating and feeling AWFUL and ended up on the toilet for a while. Not a fun thing. I actually checked my sugar (i have a machine from my last pregnancy) and it was 43 so I drank juice to bring it back up and that helped the second time and it did not last as long. For me... it was after eating a some marshmallows with my little girl. And another time from eating ice cream. :/

I have an internal stitch that has surfac

Emotional mess here too... I want to be alone and no one bother me... If I could just sleep through every day and be awake at.night when the rest of the world is sleeping I would be fine!!!! I really have no tolerance for people in general... Get mad over everything, have zero patience and am as grumpy as it gets. I'm 5 1/2 weeks out... I hope it goes away soon. I'm miserable

Thanks everyone... Makes me feel better. I just trimmed it and it seems fine. happy new years eve!

Sorry... It has surfaced to the skin at one of my incision sites. I'm 5 weeks out. Anyone else had this??? I remember having his after my tummy tuck years ago but they were clear... And I could gently pull them out. This one is purple and is stuck and wont come out. Any advice????

I had a soft poached egg this morning with a slice of American cheese melted on top. Went very well and was soooooo satisfying.

And... How much restriction? I'm a little concerned that either I have no restriction or I'm just not feeling when I'm done. I'm on full liquids but am doing some purred. I.e. I mixed some refried beans with sour cream and taco sauce and was able to eat 1/2 cup. This morning I was also able to do 1/2 cup cottage cheese. I went relatively slow but not much different than I ate before. I really had no problems at all eating it. I feel "full" but no discomfort. No issues at all getting liquids down. I just seem to be able to get anything I have tried in. No reflux, no pain, no indigestion, no burping, or anything like others have described. Seems so much easier than the lapband... I could barely get anything down with that dreaded thing.

I am on full liquids, which for me includes yogurt. So tonight to satisfy a sort of craving, I took a few teaspoons of plain Fage greek yogurt and mixed it with some taco sauce and taco seasoning. It was really good. I was just wondering if anyone else does that and if anyone thinks the sauce or seasoning would be a problem. I had no problems getting it down and felt satisfied. If any of you like that kinda stuff... it was REALLY yummy!

Hi honey! START OVER! Do a week of liquids and a week of mushies to reset yourself. Measure your portions and fix your meals on a small plate. Try to watch your sugar/carb intake. Healthy protein first. Eat small meals every 2 hours. Lots of protein, lowfat foods, and veggies. Cut out any sugary drinks... drink water with crystal light. Throw in a little exercise. Do not eat after 6 pm. Use your TOOL!!! You can do it girl! YOU CAN DEFINITELY DO IT!!!!! We are all here to support you! I have been there... I had a failed lapband and gained weight back that I had lost. But you can turn this around and keep losing and you will be so happy! KEEP YOUR FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im 7 days out and sort of experiencing this! For example... tonight I just WANTED a sugar free pudding. Was NOT hungry and was able to get in adequate nutrition today. I ate it. I think its definitely a head thing! Because I really cant say i feel much real hunger at all.

GREAT JOB! You look terrific!!!!!

YAY! So glad all went well! The pain will get better... I promise the walking helps! Also... if you can manage it, try laying on your side with a pillow between your knees. It kinda helps with the gas too!!! Good luck... stay positive! YOU GOT THIS!

I take the capsule version of the omeprazole too... twice a day according to my dr. Also I take this gel stuff called ripoan that is a sort of antacid to coat the tummy twice a day for 28 days. It isnt very pleasant but not as bad as liquid meds. Bless your heart... glad you got the pill form!!! Keep up the great work... you will be changing sizes in no time! IT WILL BE VERY EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck! I am 7 days out today! As soon as you can GET UP AND WALK... ALOT! And take deep breaths often. quicker recovery with less pain! Cant wait to hear how it all goes!

Day 6... Getting things down is going well... Struggling with liking protein shakes though. But managing. My problem is... Diarrhea. My goodness when does that ease up?

I am at INT hospital all prepped for surgery and I am next!

I know... I came to tell you bye and your room was empty. I'm so sad you had such a rough time but really glad to hear your feeling so much better. Fluids are slow going here too but keep up your meds and SIP SIP SIP and walk walk walk. Keep me posted and have a safe trip home. I fly out today at 335. Did some shopping with Dedria in rosarita yesterday evening and went to the pharmacy. We are going to go shopping in san Diego today before our flight home. I feel so very blessed to have such a wonderful recovery. I just hope it stays this way. Take care girl... Your gonna be a new person and be so happy with your decision!

Seems like things are better. We all managed through the swallow tests. Yucky stuff though. Got our dvd's and I cant wait to watch. And they removed drains. Can't wait to check out and go to the recovery house. And do some shopping. Retail therapy is always good!

Me too... But you should be fine. If you have those stockings they put in you for.surgery... Wear them on your ride home to.help.prevent blood clots. If.not then try to get up andbwalk a lil or rotate your ankles frequently. I flew back com.Mexico after myblapband surgery in 2006 and it wasn't too bad. You can also ask for a seatbelt extender and put a small pillow or folded blanket between the belt and your tummy for added comfort. Safe travels and hope you have a great recovery

Just an update... I checked in twice tonight on petraluxor. Both times she was asleep... Hoping that is a good sign. Please send prayers for her... She had a really rough 1st day of recovery. I'm staying positive that she wakes up feeling better.

I have my fingers crossed and said a prayer that you rest well tonight and feel much better in the morning!!!!

Just got more meds. Counting the minutes until they allow my first ice chips. Still having gas pains and just generally sore but doing fine. I met petraluxor. She is doing ok but having some nauseau and gas pains. Imbthankful for only very little nauseau so far. I'll be soooo glad to go home. Everyone here is nice... But I miss my hubby and my kids really bad!

So far so good!!! I was with Dr. Ponce. Just had to change my iv. I have tiny veins. Gas pains come and go but right now they seem to be increasing.

I am scheduled for 11/23 with Dr. Ponce in Tijuana. Anyone else? My goodness the day after Thanksgiving... ha ha ha! First Thanksgiving that I will be drinking broth! YAY ME! HA HA HA!
