Odd Moment This Am While Reading The Board
megannadine replied to Cheles's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt the same a couple days ago.. i ended up going to the emergency room and got put on fluids but before they did that she checked my blood sugar level ( im not diabetic) and it was extremely low. what I was experiencing was hypoglycemia. I started eating 1 regular popcicle a day... still doing sugar free other stuff but allowing the little sugar and it has helped me alot.. just a thought -

Help! My Popsicle Was Not Sugar Free!
megannadine replied to Bcole's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I kind of agree with the toxic thing. DId you know that Splenda is made in a lab by just adding 2 chlorine molecules in the carbohydrate structure ( sugar) causing your body not to know what to do with it so thats why its doesnt effect you.... My nutritionist who has a PHD was telling me she was part of research group who found that Splenda was causing kidney and bladder cancer in rats.... Needless to say she strongly advocates STEVIA which is naturally grown and not created in a lab. she also said that "THEY" know aspertame is highly bad for you and was pulled from the market awhile back but due to a HUGE uproar and the want for it they allowed it to be used. anyhoo enough of that..lol Natural sweetners is the best if you have to have it.. Like Stevia, maple syrup, and honey just a "food" for thought! :-) -

What to do with all that EXTRA baby food and baby cereal laying around?!?! MAKE doggie treats. Take 1 cup of cream of wheat ( baby cereal), 1 cup of Instant dry milk, 2 jars or whatever combo you like of baby food ( im using 1 jar meat, 1 jar veggie)... mix together and place about nickle size amounts on a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper. and bake at 350 degrees until browned on sides...

What was your 1st months loss...especially those who lost alot. I posted before about losing alot my first 4 days.... well its still going strong and on post op day 8th im at 23lbs lost!!! Im not complaining I just think this is crazy how fast its coming off. I mean even if I have a stall of some sort the rest of the month I will still probably hit 40lbs lost the first month. I did this surgery to loss weight but i'm afraid of it coming off sooo quickly like something is wrong with me. Im still on liquids although i try to add mushys now but cant do too much before I feel blah.... I know I might be slightly dehydrated but i have been working on that the last 2 days...... I just want to see if others out there lost in the 30-40-50 the first month or if that is unheard of? BTW I am 5'4'' was 268lbs now I weigh 245.4 and I have 3 boys at home 2 of which are babies so I do move around a bunch

What Was Your 1st Months Loss After Gastric Sleeve Surgery...especially Those Who Lost Alot
megannadine replied to megannadine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanx guys!! Im expecting the stall actually, so im OK with that. I didnt lose much at all pre- op ( honestly didnt really try) maybe 3 pounds. So this is all post op lost. Im ok I figured it was a combo of water weight and massive loss fat and "crap" built up from the large amounts of fast food I was eating before. I consider it my DETOX stage...lol -
