Let us know what you find out.

I have Fibro so I miss my Advil and Motrin too. The only thing I can take over the counter is Extra Strength Tylenol. Your right, its like popping m&m's - does nothing. :-(

Yes, always cold now. Not cool because my body temp has always been low (96 degrees). I'm like a snow lady!! Lol

My surgery anniversary (1 year) is coming up this Wednesday. I have no hunger pains and I still have to force myself to eat the recommended daily protein. Blessing or curse? Not sure.

I worry about this every time I have a normal meal. If its anything other than my protein bar for breakfast and protein shake for lunch, I freak myself out about this. Your not alone for sure.

Hi guys. Has anyone been experiencing extreme cold post-op? If so, has the doctor explained to you why? I mean besides the obvious of having less padding? I've been do cold it sometimes hurts. Any tips or suggestions?

The Ap on the iPhone is called "Waterlogged"..

I was having the same exact thing in addition side pain. I called my doc and they think it may be an ulcer. Do ordered upper endoscopy.

My doc gave the ok to take regular Centrum 2 x's per day. Is anyone else here taking regular vitamins/non chewables yet at 4 months out?? Thanks

Thank you everyone. Ill step up the power walks.

Wow! I've been stuck at a certain weight for a month and a half. No inches lost either. Despite diet and exercise the scale hasn't gone down. Very depressed. :-(

I know how you feel. I'm four months out and have lost 58 lbs. my weight and inches lost have have stopped decreasing despite diet and exercise. The last month and a half ive only lost 2lbs. Sorry to whine but it's so freaking depressing.

Seratonin levels fall after weight loss because of lack of food. It gets better as your body adjusts.

Yes, I've had it. Tasty treat! I wasn't aware it was carbonated. Now I'm going to Google it to see if that's true though.

Hi people. does anybody know of any soy protein low carb bars. Ones that can be bought on the markets/stores? Much appreciated!!!

I'm looking for a soy Protien low carb bar. Hard to find. I found out I was allergic to whey the hard way after surgery.

Yes! I know I did at that stage! It diminishes after a while..

Good idea on checking the inches/measurements. Going to go buy a measuring tape right now!!! Note to self: never let kids play with measuring tape or back scratcher.

I know. Your right BB Doodle at least I'm not gaining. :-)

I'm 4th months out, have lost 54lbs, exercise everyday and follow the bariatric diet to a T. I use ketone strips to make sure I am still in ketosis - I am. Protien for meals first, then veggies. Once a day I have fruit. No breads, carbs, Pasta, soda or booze. I'm strict! One pound a week weight loss is so discouraging! :-(

Pizza. :-(

Yes, yes, yes. I was so scared too. Jello hurt, fat free broth hurt. Everything hurt going down. I'm tw months out and I studies eating things. Please don't get discouraged. My doc told me last week "get you water and vitamins in, keep doing what your doing and at your sixth month mark this will all seem like a blur".

Last night was my third sleep Eating experience. Walked to the kitchen and decided to unpeal a hard boiled egg and eat it. The first time was getting these small pack of Cookies out from the bottom of my purse that my friend brought from Germany but I forget the the third. I also had to hide my liquid Vicodin since I noticed I took that in the middle of the night as well. I know this sounds wild and I've NEVER had any sleep walking or eating issues before the surgery. Has anyone else experienced this???

What are foamies?
