  1. I'm about 2 1/2 months post-sleeve. I don't really crave carbs anymore, but I do love to eat PB2 in my shakes and Peanut Butter w/ apples. I'm really trying to stay around 500 calories, but this Peanut Butter thing is pushing me over. But, I am exercising in spite of the sync issues w/ fitbit and MFP.

    Also, I've been dealing with major mood swings. It feels a bit like depression, but I'm not really sure if it's physiological or if I'm mentally just not adjusting to my new body as easily as I thought I would.

    I have no regrets, but I am afraid that I may be destined to be large. I'm afraid of giving up my clothes. It is such a head trip. Losing weight so fast.

    I can't attend my local support groups due to child care issues, so I welcome your input and/or words of wisdom.

    Anyone else feeling moody? More so than usual?


  2. I am having the same problem. It isn't such an issue until I need to go back to work in a week. I am huge so a bra is a must. I am thinking I will need to break down and buy a larger size bra to give me more wiggle room and help the problem.

    I went to Maidenform today and bought a wireless bra with extra coverage. It's very soft and supportive.


  3. Mary Jane. I wasn't a fan until I saw my dying sister gain an appetite from the oncologist's prescription of THC pills. It changed my conservative views forever.

    Cannibis is a great herbal alternative to narcotics. While I'm not a user...I do believe it should be prescribed instead of the narcotics that actually DO kill people in their sleep.

    One of the side effects of cannibis is that is makes you hungry. Why use it and risk stretching your new stomach? Give it up girlfriend.

    Six months from now, you can go back to smoking or using the glycerine drops in your beverages. Stay away from setiva strands.


  4. I've been in and out of the hospital since 6/19. Every surgeon who has seen my incision has said Dr.Kelly did a great job.

    I came down with acute pancreatitis caused by a gall stone. Yesterday, they went in a removed my gall bladder.

    My recommendation to anyone considering this surgery is that you work with your PCP to do some pre-op before heading to MX. First, ask your doctor to order an endoscopy to identify a hernia. Second, get an ultrasound of your gall bladder to make sure it won't cause you issues as you drop the weight....and it does come off quickly.


  5. Sleeved 5/28 doing great down 25 lbs then Bam! Felt like crap dr visit' date=' ultrasound go to hospital get gall bladder removed. I feel like crap. Lost my energy back to phase 1 can't drink all the Water, whereas before i could drink all my liquids and everything was fantastic. Just venting.....[/quote']

    How did your body recover from back to back surgeries? I have pancreatitis and an enlarged duct bc a stone tried to pass. They want to remove my gall bladder, but need to make sure my pancreas returns to normal before doing so. I'm totally annoyed that I have to have yet another surgery. I guess I'm scared too.

    I had my sleeve 6/10.

    OMG, I thought the same, on both points.

    I have increased my intake from 25 cal to 200, but it's really hard. I do a lot of walking to move things down. I don't want to stretch my stomach or get a leak, so I can't imagine eating fatty solids. I bought this thing out of pocket-Im not going to waste my $$.

    Although, I cannot lie, egg whites or a puréed egg sounds delightful. :) cheers to next week!
