I had a sushi roll with white rice that caused me to vomit violently within a very short time. I'm very careful to avoid rice now! Also, I had heard that people have a hard time with salads, so I had been avoiding them. But I finally tried one this past week and did just fine, so I'm relieved to be having salads again.

What is the sodium content?

I'm not completely sure, but I think that is in the average range.

Don't dread it, knowledge is power! And I'm also asthmatic and was sleeved Dec. 3rd. It's not hard breathing, it's just natural breathing at rest (sitting in a chair).

You might also find it amusing, then, that once I saw it, I spent several minutes adjusting my shoulders and neck and head in different ways to see them again. I look forward to having a perpetual showing of the collar bones.

Do your docs test your resting metabolic rate for you? Mine does- I breathed into a machine foe a little over 10 minutes and with that information he was able to tell me approximately how many calories I burn in a day (with no additional exercise). We did it before surgery and at six weeks. The first time it recorded that my metabolism is very high. That surprised me considering I am so overweight, but when I look back at how many calories I normally took in, maybe not so surprising. Anyway, at six weeks I had lost 37 pounds and my metabolism was still in the " high" range, but had dropped some since the beginning. He wants me to start getting some type of regular exercise in so that my metabolism will stop slowing and hopefully stay steady, and in theory, let me continue to have a pretty good rate of weight loss. I'm just curious what others' experience is with this type of testing.

I had a collar bone sighting this morning in the mirror. That is all. Carry on.

Sleeved 12/3 and down 29 pounds.

I was sleeved Dec. 3 and I have the exact same issue. I'll try the hydrocortisone.
