Hi Ms. CurvyJ, my physician prescribed me Colace liquid and it is the worst thing ever. Do you take the pills and how far are you out, he didn't want me to take the pills because I couldn't take capsules so I eat blackberries which helps.

Great job! it is a wonderful feeling:) keep up the good work.

I was always cold too. until I started the vitamin B-12 shots. I take them once a week , and you should take your vitamins and protein. I know it's hard sometimes, but try and eat beans, cheese, fish, and cottage cheese if you will not take protein shakes.

Yes indeed it will get better, I agree with Mr. Polite, your body is going through a dramatic transformation. And you have to learn how to eat and drink all over again. I did go through the vomiting and the dehydration and I was hospitalized. But I started using a spoon to drink sips of my beverages and I ate a lot of ice chips and popsicles that helped me a lot until I was able to learn to drink slowly. I also was hospitalized for constipation and had to have 7 stitches, but no regrets. I finally pulled it all together and I am doing wonderful and you will too. Do not give up and stay positive, because I will be praying for your health and success on your journey:) Did your Doctor give you some patches for nausea, they go behind the ear, and they work wonders. I had to wear them for 2 months after my surgery, because I was always dizzy and nauseated, but I never had any pain. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it will be all worth it:)

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome! it is well worth it:)

You go Girl! You look wonderful, keep up the good work:)

You are so right, I have been experiencing the same symptoms, being cold, different taste and smells, things I use to love to eat I can't stand the taste or smell. I can't see what other people see as well, and I know that I'm loosing because my clothes are extremely to big. But try not to be so bummed out, because you look great:)

Yes, Good Luck:) and you can do it! I use to have Sleep Apnea before I had my surgery. I had it bad too, it was so bad that I had to use a BY-PAP instead of a C-PAP machine, because when I had my sleep study I stopped breathing 92 times, but I'm so happy that I don't have that problem anymore. I had surgery 3 1/2 months ago and I'm done 95 lbs and I have no more Sleep Apnea, thank god. So the surgery has been a true blessing and it will be for you as well.
