Paamie

I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This causes me pain each day' date=' and makes exercise for weight loss (I have always had to do major workouts to lose consistently) very difficult. I have begun the process to be sleeved by September. Anyone else done this procedure with an autoimmune disease? How has it improved or worsened the symptoms?

My rheumatologist tells me that the weight loss will help the medications work better (at lower doses), and my surgeon says they deal with AI issues regularly. He did say he would not put in the band, because that can exacerbate symptoms.

Thanks in advance!

Good luck

I was speaking with my aunt who is a nurse. She told me to stick my tongue on a tiny bit ginger powder to take away the nausea. I tried it and the urge to vomit disappeared. I hope this helps.

Hey here's my before and after. I was sleeved on 2/26. I'm down 78 lbs. luckily I haven't thrown up even once but in very careful because I HATE throwing up! Try not to let your nerves get the best of you.

I try so hard not to throw up, but it is so difficult. I had the sleeve, hernia and gallbladder surgery all at once.

I was told muscle milk has a lot of fat in it and its more for people trying to build muscle not lose fat

Thank you for the info

I'm only 7 weeks post op' date=' but I'm down 35 pounds! Best of luck!!![/quote']

Thank you I wish you the same

I was the same way for a couple of weeks. I drank a lot of Water and Powerade. I found a Protein shake called Muscle Milk (premade) and kept it VERY cold. It helped quite a bit. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much I will try that.

Wow that is amazing.

Hi my name is Paamie and I live in Nyc. I had my surgery May 20th. I am down 30lbs, but I can not keep the Protein Shakes down at all. I have bought so many and nothing will stay down the the Protein shakes in them. I am nauseated every morning. My biggest fear is when I return to work next week how am I going to handle this?
