  1. Cold water always hurt my pouch! I drank room temperature water. I can drink cold water now. Although sometimes it will still feel a lttile weird. I'm 9 months out!
  2. yes, water makes my stomach hurt! If it is cold it seems worse. My Doc said it would get better. I hope so.
  3. I have had very little hair loss so far but I have noticed some strands starting to fall out. I will be 3 months out on July 3rd. My problem is my skin is peeling. I looked up on line and it is caused by dehydration and vitamin deficiency. (oh no!) Going to call my Doc. tomorrow. Not very good with my protein. I HAVE to get better. Not enough fluids either. Liquid makes my pouch hurt. Anyone else have this problem?

  5. WLS is just a tool! After you have the surgery you are not hungry and you sure can't eat very much at all. You have 1year to practice good eating habits and lose a ton of weight. Ultimately it is up to you. I had surgery on April 3rd and as of today I have lost 60 pounds. I have 38 more to go. Being thin and losing weight feels better than over eating to me.

  7. I took a bite and swallowed it. It did ok! One bite was my limit! I try all sorts of things except for sweets. No sugar for me!

  12. I have only thrown up one time in 10 weeks. But I really have felt sick to my stomach all day!
  13. I just ate my dinner way too fast! Why do I do that? I'm praying it stays down! I hate throwing up!

  17. What kind of protein are you drinking?
  18. Me too...but I am scared to eat anything with sugar.
  19. I am still at 1oz of protein. I am 8wks out and my nut. told me today if you throw up that you have either eaten too much or too fast! I don't know but I have only thrown up once when I ate 1 shrimp too many!
  20. I weigh every morning but not during the day. I really want to weigh once a week but I find myself on the scale every morning.
  21. I personally do not think any of the sugar substitutes are good for you!
