Has Anyone Experienced Memory Loss?
LA_dreamer replied to joe_cltnc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had initially planned to go back to work after 1 week. Due to weakness, I could only work half days. But my memory was so bad I really wasn't much help. I even had trouble recalling coworkers names. I couldn't even think straight. Everything went back to normal probably about a month out. -

Oh All This Burping
LA_dreamer replied to scaredoftheunknown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This happens every time I eat. My surgeon says it will get better. I'm on prilosec and gas-x doesn't help. It's as if the gas is already there, the food just makes it move. I was sleeved 8/27. -

Does Being On Birth Control {Hormone Based} Affect Your Weight Loss Is Any Way?
LA_dreamer replied to SensationallySassyT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love my Mirena! I gained alot of weight on birth control pills and can thank them for my four year old surprise baby. =) My Gyno recommended Mirena because of the fewer side effects. Next spring I'll be getting my second one. -
I planned on changing but my oversized hospital gown was ok. I didn't feel like bothering with changing clothes. And I definitely didn't care about a bra at that time. I didn't even wear one on the ride home. =)

Bananas In Protein Shake?
LA_dreamer replied to ready2bskinny's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I used banana extract pre-op in my shakes. -
My first puree meal was tuna salad. It was sooo good after all those liquids. I also tried the roast beef hash I saw on the eggface website. It looks and smells aweful but I added a touch of BBQ and it was very good. Other than those I just threw whatever I cooked for my family in the mini processor.

Almost 6Months Out..123Lbs Down
LA_dreamer replied to Illusionalta's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Hey a little ego boost never hurt anyone. And you deserve it. Hopefully you'll be returning the favor soon (only 1 month out for me). -
My insurance required I have a 5 yr history of a BMI of 40+. Does yours only require a one time or had you just lost weight and needed to get back up there?

Hunger Hasn't Gone Away...why?
LA_dreamer replied to Cheryl Lawler Phillips's topic in The Guys’ Room

My surgeon also said he uses the slightly bigger size because it has less side effects/complications. I never got sick even once. I think the main discomfort I had at first was due to the hiatal hernia repair he had to do. I've never "slimed" and when I eat that one bite too much I'm just very uncomfortable. I've never worried about throwing up in public. Down 31 lbs since 8/27.

Hunger Hasn't Gone Away...why?
LA_dreamer replied to Cheryl Lawler Phillips's topic in The Guys’ Room
I understand a few members on this site seem to only want to insult others and bring them down. I'm sorry if you felt I was joining that crowd. I don't look at what room I'm going in to when checking my "current" tab but I'll be sure to leave the mans room alone in the future. BTW I never referred to anyone as a bumbling idiot and never spoke of kids, house work, etc. but I'll accept the stereotype you lumped ME with.
