I get the hiccups when I eat or drink too much. That is how I know when I've had enough.

That is great! I remember one day I was watching TV late one night, I looked down and my legs were crossed. I couldn't believe it. I haven't crossed my legs in over 10 years. I screamed for my husband. He came running in the room thinking something was wrong. I said look!!!! He high five me and laughed. It's the little things.

I am almost 9 months out and I still have gas like something awful. Sometimes i cant control it. I was in the drug store yesterday and felt one coming on and tried to hold it in but....it happened. Luckly noone was around. I do not know why it is happening. Good luck!!

Congratulations!! I was on 12 shots a day until I was put on an insulin pump. The day of surgery they took me off and now at 6 months out, my blood sugars are still stable. It feels great not having to worry about that anymore. I can't wait to see what my A1c is next week.

I know how you feel. My weight also stopped at 4 weeks and it didn't change for a whole month. I was really frustrated but then it started falling off. I also hit one at 12 weeks that lasted for a while. I am 6 months out and I have hit another stall but I know it will pick up again. Don't lose hope, the weight loss will pick back up.

I am feeling the same way and need help getting back on track.

I am also 5 months out. I started at 300 lbs and I am down to 220 lbs. I have not lost anything for a month either. I am getting my protein and water in but nothing. I am sure it will pick up soon. But it is discouraging.

I am always freezing too. It was 83 here yesterday and I was in long pants and long sleeves, shopping. I looked around and everyone was in tank tops, shorts, and flip flops.

I had my surgery on 11/11/4 and I am not getting enough Water either. I just feel too full when I try to drink much more than 24 oz. I feel like I am going to pop. I had to get a sippy cup to drink out of because if I drink out of a cup or a bottled water, I drink to fast and I feel like it will come back up. My new stomach does not like crystal light either or any of the sugar free drink mixes. I know I should be getting more but I figured that it would come with time. I was losing two pounds a day but for the past 14 days, I haven't lost anything at all.

I haven't had a period in over 11 years and had my first one last week. Its kinda weird after not having one in such a long time.

I also had my surgery on 11/11/14 and after surgery I was dropping 2 lbs a day. I was loving it. I lost 25 lbs since surgery. But then it all stopped. I haven't lost anymore in the past week. I am totally bummed. I mean...is this it? How did you get through the stall?

I am also having a hard time getting enough protein in. I cannot stand the smell of the protein drinks anymore. I need some different ideas also.

I am having the same problem. I don't feel like eating at all. I can hardly get my water down. I hope this will get easier.

Isn't Nexium a pill? I thought we could only have chewable or liquid meds.

I am 1 week post-op and today I have experienced a lot of heartburn. I called my nurse and she said that It is temporary. She said to take an OTC med, like Tums. Has anyone else had this problem? Why is it happening when all I am eating is pureed foods? What is the best way to handle this irritating problem? Thanks
