Leanne Stuart reacted to ~*ROBIN*~ in Constant saliva
No, I'm not on medication or anything. From what my friends have said (who had VSG over a year ago), it's called "Sliming". Oooh, fun stuff! It just means you either ate too fast or too much. They said to slooooooooow down and CHEW CHEW CHEW. And be sure to pay attention to what your body is telling you. I love how a lot of people call their new stomach "Frankensleeve". It's TRUE!

Are you on an acid inhibitor such as Prilosec/ omeprazole?
The excess saliva seems to be a common gsv issue.

I have the same problem if something doesn't agree with me or if I've eating a bite more than I should have. I've had to vomit a couple times to feel better. I think my head and sleeve are stil confused. My surgery was on 4-8-14

Leanne Stuart reacted to Mississippi Girl in Day 19 Post Op. When will the scale change?
I went through the same thing. I think I almost drove my husband crazy. I kept thinking i was doing something terribly wrong. Bottom line…..it was nothing I was doing wrong. It just takes time. I lost for a week and now I'm back to waiting…..Kinda sucks, but I know it will come off when it's ready. I do feel the inches slipping away. It's not you!! Keep on keeping on!
Happy Losing,
Mississippi Girl

Leanne Stuart reacted to joatsaint in Day 19 Post Op. When will the scale change?
My 1st 10 days post-op, I was still so full of fluids that they gave me in surgery that I hadn't lost but a few lbs. We all lose weight at different rates post-op. It can be frustrating at first, not seeing the weight fall off - especially after seeing the fast losers post things like, "7 months down 117 lbs". My weight loss was more gradual - about 12 lbs/month.
All I can say is hang in there, follow the diet your doc gave you and keep exercising. The weight will start coming off. It won't be a steady weight loss, you can expect some plateaus that will keep you wondering if, "Is this it? Is this all I'm going to lose?" I've gone through about a dozen of those moments and I've found through experience that if I just stick with my diet and exercise, the weight will start falling off again.
Wishing you the best.

Leanne Stuart reacted to DeniseNCC1701 in stall and frustrated
Try not to be discouraged. You can push through it! You know you'll be OK after the stall is over!
How do your clothes feel? How do you feel (outside of the frustration). I'll wager you feel a whole lot better than you did 4 months ago. You got this!
Be well…
