try scraping your tongue. its probably ketosis causing it - it DOES pass though when your body is acclimated.

109 lbs gone in less than 6 months. I'm very happy about that. I'm wearing clothes I haven't worn in years (thank god I saved them) and I feel really great. I need to work out more. I know that being more active because I can helps a lot, but I need to do the extra too. I'm so satisified with my decision on this surgery. I have ZERO regrets. I don't even regret that I didn't have it done sooner really because I think my experience wouldn't have been as great as it was with Dr. Almanza. I have had zero complications - I've not overeaten, I've not had any dumping or reactions to food. If I crave something, I have a bite and either throw the rest away or give it to my hubby to finish and I'm satisfied. I've never really had an overeating problems since I was a teenager (which wasn't about anything other than being starved by my mother) - once I dealt with that, it wasn't ever a problem. Now its more about eating all the protein that I can fit in my stomach. I take my vitamins as well. I know I need to get more veggies in and I do try. I feel that I'm on a good path and I'm looking forward to staying on it.

Walking is the best answer. Bending, moving side to side, anything to keep the body moving will get the gas out. Its also just good to keep moving

don't focus on a number necessarily. Those numbers were decided on by an insurance company, not a doctor. Yes, its important to be within a normal BMI range, but everyone's body is different. More muscle is going to up your weight but give you a lower bmi than if the mass you had was fat. You should be healthy and comfortable with your body.

Been sleeved for nearly 6 months and haven't found a downside yet. Loving it.

Oh - as for the scale, I have lost over 100 lbs in 5 months Sent from my iPhone using VST

Don't wait for the willpower to kick in- this is your life we are talking about, not just being unhealthy and miserable. You actually CAN kill yourself by doing things like this. If you rupture your suture line, that's going to be hell. Think of yourself and your family. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Oh my god does it feel good to be back in jeans! Haven't worn these in 4 years! I think they're an 18 or a 20- didn't care to look, just found them and remembered them to be comfy! I haven't been able to find jeans that fit - always too big somewhere or too low hanging of a crotch or something - back to men's jeans I guess! Always found them more comfy!

Don't ever allow anyone to control you. Being in a relationship so you don't have to be alone is the worst thing you can do. I'm guessing you don't love him, but you love the idea of what you thought he might be and you don't want to be alone. Drop all the dead weight- especially him. If you aren't getting emotionally and mentally healthy too-, then what is the point of trying for physical health? It won't work if you don't have all 3. Sent from my iPhone using VST

A woman's weight can fluctuate 9 lbs through a day just due to Water retention. That's for an average size woman. Stay the hell off the scale. Do what you are supposed to be doing and stop living by what a machine with a 2 dollar battery in it says. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Obviously your body is t ready for purees- go back to full liquids and try again in a few days. Wishin you were fat forever isnt going to make things better. Stop looking back and start looking forward. you didn't learn to ride a bike or tie your shoes the first time you tried either. Remember that you eat so your body has fuel. You don't live to eat.

Everyone recovers differently. Your body wants sleep. You just gave your body a pretty good shock- let it acclimate. Sent from my iPhone using VST

That sounds more like a gall stone to me.

First of all, keep talking, even if she doesn't - either she will start to understand , will start to ask questions so ahe can understand and will also start talking or she won't. But you have to do your part. Secondly, this pregnancy is not tearing you apart, tye lack of communication is. Someone who doesn't take their pill isn't someone who doesn't want to get pregnant- at least somewhere deep down. Thirdly, your loving situation sucks. Change it as soon as you are able. I don't know your inlaws and they might be the best inlaws in the world but you're in their house with their baby girl - most of the time you'll be the odd man out on anything. It's not her fault, your fault or theirs- it just IS. It would be the same for you if you were at your parents She's watching you change and insecurity is rising in her. You're losing what has held you down. She just got put on disability and is now pregnant. Talk about some emotional weight there. Help her carry it. You can do that by confusing your feelings in her and helping her realize that life is changing but from this, a stronger bond between you can occur. Keep talking. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I miss nothing. I eat whatever I want. In fortunate that I don't want things that aren't good for me. If I want a cupcake, I have a bite of my hubby's. If he doesn't want one, I have a bite and toss the rest. Doesn't bother me to not finish food at all. Occasionally I do miss the fizz of a diet coke, but I love not having aspartame in my body more than that. I could have a diet coke - my doctor said it was fine- but I just simply would rather not. Change your perception. You eat to live, not for emotional fulfillment. If you can train yourself in that, you WILL enjoy all of your savory bites! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I absolutely love eating new foods. You have to get past the idea of eating a lot of food at one time. That's your food addiction talking. I love going out to dinner and love the leftovers. It's all about how you perceive a meal. If your goal is to eat food, no - you won't. But if your goal is to taste wonderful flavored and share time with people while taking in those flavors then yes you will!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I don't really eat bread - but once in a while I eat a sammich! Good stuff! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Step away from the scale. Give yourself 3 weeks without weighing and put a new battery in the scale and try again. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Nothing bothers me. However, there are a lot of things.... Sweets really that aren't appealing to me. I find myself completely satisfied with one bite or a lick of a finger of whatever is tempting me. Sent from my iPhone using VST

If your body chooses to shed hair, there's nothing youcan do about it. Protein and vitamins can help lessen the loss by strengthening hair, but expect that you probably have some loss. It's not permanent. I lost quite a bit of hair, but I have thick hair anyway- now I just have a normal punt of hair lol. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Time to be forceful and firm - if she doesn't like it , she doesn't have to be there. Remove counter- productive things and people from your life Sent from my iPhone using VST
