It is most likely because your body is going into ketosis. It is when you are eating less carbs and consuming more Protein. It can cause bad breath. It will go away!! Your body is now burning fat for energy!

That is real living and exactly why I want to lose weight!! I want to be able to do things with my son and husband that I am currently unable to do with my weight!! Bless you!!

Hope it goes well! I have appointment with the surgeon next week! I used to be hyperthyroid and had an ablation so now I'm on the other end... One reason it's so hard for me to lose weight.

Hi my name is karen i am 270 lb. And my bmi 51. I have hypothyroidsm ,well in the lab work for the surgery i found out .Today i am 15 days with meds and waiting in pcp office waiting to know if the meds are working i hope they say its better so i can continue with my surgery process

Thank y'all that helps I think I'm just getting a little anxious!!

Once you go to the seminar and let them know you're interested, the surgeon's office will have staff to help you through the whole process. They will tell you exactly what letters need to come from which doctors as well as any tests you need ahead of time.
Best wishes!

Well, I think I need to employ more gum! I drink lots and lots of Water, but the "feeling" of eating is what is missed I guess. Kind of like a smoker just quitting but needing that action of puffing on something like a habitual action.
There is so much psychology involved with this. I am hopeful that people realize this.
Thanks for the replies guys!!

I went through a rough time with head hunger...and still do many nights...what works for me is keeping most cals for night time..and always having my water bottle full and handy..

I am in the same place. I work from home and have that head game of always needing to snack. I keep gum by me at all times because I find that I am not hungry, just needing to chew on or have something in my mouth. If I am absolutely going crazy I have Dum Dum suckers or SF hard candy that I can take and that seems to help. Good luck!! You aren't alone.

I know people who do not have regular 3 ,meals a day, but have maybe 6 healthy Snacks a day...works for them. It all comes down to how many calories consumed in a 24 hr period, versus how many burned....
For me, the band took care of head hunger....I may think I want to eat something...like a dough-nut in the middle of the day for no good reason, but one bite and my band immedialtley slaps me back into reality and I throw the thing away....after doing this 100 of times those head hunger cravings no longer exisit...kicked the habit by behaviour modifiction thanks to the band........plus I am not hungry 24 hrs a day....never understood the "just between Meals" thing...my band is there 24 hrs...not just between meals.

Well I hope it goes away! My poor family...and my poor colleagues and students! Just call me dragon breath!

I want to be healthier again! I want to go hiking, ride a bike, take long walks, no more c-pap, and enjoy life! I have Lupus, RA and other health issues and I need to do what I can to alleviate the pain!!

8inches gone from my waisted didn't know I had one.

I tend to dehydrate when I exercise and so it's important for me to get LOTS of fluids otherwise I suffer the consequences.

Point taken, slow it down a bit. Anyway, I am working with a trainer and I did more than she advised, I was just feeling wonderful yesterday, being my birthday and all. I'm proud of my weight loss to date, and even the decision to have the band put on! Anyway, lesson learned, I'm going to stay on liquids for today and tomorrow, and let my tummy heal a bit before I kick it into high gear at the gym and work in new foods slowly. I am NOT going to the gym today.

I have had that happen to me. Working out too hard and doing too much affects me as well. I don't feel it when I am doing it, I think oh this is great look how much I can do. Then the next few days I always regret it. Sometimes I get physically sick, my immune system crashes.
Give yourself a little love, and slow down just a bit. The weight will come off, it didn't get there over night and it's not going to go away over night. Treat your body right and it will comply by doing what you want it to.
Feel better and Happy Birthday!

haha I stopped reading when you said 52 reps because my stomach starting cramping for you lol. It's fair to say you overdid it. Are you working with a trainer or did you concoct this workout yourself

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow - nervous & excited! liquid diet blows - lol. I'm starving but it will pay off

I just returned from a week vacation and have gained 8 lbs! I'm hoping the 27th will hurry and get here! I am counting down the days...

I started my pre-op diet today (3 shakes/2 fruit/1 salad+protein), and started school. I had a hard time getting in my lunch time shake because there was just too much to do around the school. I ended up chugging it. I didn't get a chance to eat my evening snack (apple, pear, or orange) and my last shake yet. I am exhausted, but I think that's normal for me on the first day of school.
A few people commented on my weight loss already (about 30 lbs since June). I don't like people saying things, but I guess I'll have to get used to it, right? (I hope! LOL)
I didn't buy hardly any back to school outfits this year. I want to lose about 10-15 more lbs and "go shopping" in the back of my closet. LOL I have a bunch of 2x clothes hiding back there.
