  1. That was Ayre brand....I hate auto fill. You should listen to your DR but Pharmacists know a lot too.
  2. Never take NSAIDS just Tylenol. I had the flu and they said any cough syrup without NSAIDs. NSAIDS cause ulcers in stomach and mouth and esophagus. They can cause GERD too. Saline nose spray and nose saline gel for soreness. I use Ayreshire brand nose gel and generic saline spray. I used Robitussin cough syrup with guaifeneson for congestion. The most important thing is STAY HYDRATED even if you don't get your protein in and rest, rest, rest.
  3. Hi! I want to see how others who had surgery the same day as I did are doing. post op weight 289 date of surgery 270 current weight 231 I'm eating 1200 calories a day and just started swimming yesterday. I had the flu for weeks and couldn't exercise. How are the rest of you doing?
  4. I had surgery jan 9/13 Pre surgery weight loss 20 lbs Month one 25 Second mo 14
  5. I take three 500's at once and vitamins at night
  6. Go Sooners! You look great!
  7. I'm still not feeling well two weeks after I caught a bug (flu) from somewhere. It has been rough
  8. Thanks for the input. Honestly I cannot figure out the ticker tape thing!! I was sleeved Jan-09-13 started at 289 lost 20 prep to 270 day of surgery and at six weeks out I weigh 237. I eat 1000-1200 a day.
  9. Thanks. I have been sick with a bad two week flu and getting all my fluids ( I need extra) are hard to get in I was hoping I could squeeze in some more drinking time! Thanks for answering
  10. Good for you! I got my jeans on today from two years ago.I cannot function in them yet but I can get in them!Ha! I love it when my clothes get too large. Your doing great!!
  11. I know the waiting after you eat is correct but some people don't wait 30 before eating tell me about that. Why would drinking 15 minutes prior hurt you?
  12. My DR says wait 30 minutes between eating and drinking which makes sense because I have to give it time to absorb the protein but does everyone else wait 30 minutes after drinking to eat? Some of you do it differently and I wonder why the difference in Dr advise.
  13. my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
  14. I am six weeks out with the sleeve and doing great. I am from Bethel PA and would like to meet others who also have the sleeve in Reading area.
  15. I mean 32 lbs down.Anyway that is about a little more than 5 lbs a week!!
  16. Sleeved Jan 9th and down from 270 to 238. 34 lbs down in six weeks. I'm happy with this. I eat 1000-1200 a day.
  17. Oh and PLEASE call your Dr tomorrow and just him or her what happened. Being dizzy is one thing but passing out for real can be a sign of a serious problem. Good luck friend.
  18. may be sodium potassium problem. When I start getting dehydrated water doesn't help me so I drink some electrolytes in smart water or G2 and I feel better very quickly. It can't hurt to rule that out. Some people need it like me.
  19. I'm six weeks out and have eaten 1000-1200 a day since week two. I've lost 32 lbs and cont to lose. I know the body needs fuel to burn fat and the mathematics of weight loss are correct. Calories in calories out. It is true , andI am a woman, that if your body thinks your starving because it doesn't have enough calories it will hang on to the fat and metabolism will slow down. That is OK in the beginning but not good long term if you want to save your muscles hair and skin elasticity.
  20. No I still eat 1000-1200 and continue to lose.
  21. Walk it off like a half mile walk if you can. It is the only way and I used pain killers at night because I could NOT lie down.
