Yes u can!!!! Was my salvation!

I am having horrible pain in my shoulders. I am 5 weeks post op so it should not be the gas they put in us I think. I early on did not have pain in my shoulders like others did I was just counting myself lucky. Any suggestions?

Got to get your body out of starvation mode. Finally got my calories up to 700 and the stall broke. I stalled for about a week.

Is it like your skin is crawling sensation?

Tell on myself...do not know what I was thinking... I got some ginger ale and for what ever reason in my mind thought it was not carbonated. I drank about 2 drinks and realized my mistake but at that point I seemed to have no ill effects...at that time... went to bed at almost midnight set straight up in bed with the worst pain and thought I was dying. It felt like little air bubbles bouncing around in my stomach. I could not burp that was the most miserable pain I have ever felt. I blame it on the drugs that is the only thing I can think of. I will never drink a carbonated drink again.

There is also Weight Loss for Dummies Cookbook...very informative

No reversal is what I was told and have read.

I love weighing everyday but I do not obsess about the numbers though. My daughter says I am not obsessed I am dedicated....lol.

Welcome to the losers bench! You will find a wealth of information and resources here. We are all here for you. Congrats on your new journey.

Although it seems to be a little better now post op weeks 1 - 3 was the hardest! I would cry so easily and not know why I was crying for. Doctor said that was normal. I do get the mood swings now but not extremely bad.

Stay in a constant state of coldness...miserable!

Boy dehydration is a killer isn't it. I experienced it but just started doing everything to rehydrate that I knew to do and advise from here and was able to pull it out. I am glad you are better Gen.

First day back at work and everything was chaotic with a months worth of work on my desk to do! Came home with pounding headache and this weird feeling of skin crawling. Any suggestions on what to do for that?

I was on 2 oral Meds and insulin before surgery. I came home with 1 oral pill. Sugars run 130- 150 but doctor does not seem as concerned with it he stated that I was still healing and weight loss will improve that in time. I am praying he is right I had worked very hard to get my A1C down to 7.0 before the surgery.

Praying for you Lisa.

I did and still do because can not get outside to walk.

Doing the exact same thing. Ready for any advice in this area.

Hang in there and glad to hear you had an uneventful surgery.

Like a frozen Popsicle constantly! My mother found a blanket throw that is electric!!! Awesome. Two pairs of socks and layers of clothes is my new wardrobe.
