  1. I Am curious how many post op sleeves have IIH (pseudotumor cerebri) and if it improved or went away after surgery? I have it and am hoping that weight loss helps! Thank you, Carol
  2. I have been getting the same notifications every hour since last night. They aren't new and they won't stop! Any suggestions?
  3. I turned mine off but they won't stop!!!! I had to silence them.
  4. If you have iphone, go to settings, notifications, vst, and turn sound off. The notifications keep coming but they are silent at least.
  5. It keeps getting better and better!

    Water Trouble

    Same here! I loved plain water pre-op, now i can barely tolerate it. I feel so waterlogged unless I add flavor. It is actually getting worse the further along I get! Crystal lite tastes too fake and gives me a headache, plain lemon is slightly better, but i love ocean spray cran-grape sugarfree pkts. Too bad they are so expensive, $3.50 for a box. I am really hoping this is a temporary problem!

    Tiredness

    Absolutely! I felt the same for the first 6 weeks. It gets better day by day, today at 9 weeks I am feeling great. Make sure you are getting enough calories, it can make a big difference.
  10. I drink EAS Myloplex dark chocolate every day, not the powder but the premade shake. i love it. I couldn't tolerate any powders.

    6 Month Update

    Congratulations, you look fantastic!
  13. Diet and exercise are the truth! I would just stick with that, just tell them that you are eating healthy, watching portion size and exercising. I know how you feel, i don't really like talking about myself to the masses. Best of luck to you!

    2 Months Out

    I am 2 months also. I have been going to the gym 4x per week and do cardio (treadmill or stairclimber) for about 30 minutes and if I have the time I do some arm or ab work on the machines. At home I use an exercise ball or take long fast walks...it is gorgeous in New England right now so I am doing a lot of walking!
  15. Just a fun little check in. Yesterday I weighed and measured myself (2 mos) and I lost 32lbs and 32inches since surgery! It seems my inches are falling at the same rate as weight
  16. Hi Bella, I think I can speak for everyone...nerves are completely normal, I was a total wreck! Where are you having it done?

    Scared To Weigh

    So true! I obsess like it's my job. I am seriously considering having my husband hide the scale for me.

    Scared To Weigh

    I am in awe of your willpower not to weigh!! Good for you. Stalls are so frustrating, I'm sure you will be happy when you weigh again. Best of luck.
