Thanks, I'm not cheating, but I'm not exercising like I should...I'm wondering if my quest bars are partly to blame

I am about 5 months out and I get dizzy when I get up, squat down, bend over etc. I think it's low blood pressure that I'm definiately not used to, maybe low iron, and needing more water....working on it.

January 15th, 2015 Anyone?
downsizingdiva replied to downsizingdiva's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I was just an over eater. I didn't feel the need to eat all the time but when I did, look out! I told my fiancee I don't make bad good choices, I just eat like three times too much...My stomach had always been big. I remember when I was very young I polished off an entire bag of Doritos by myself and never flinched. That was the first time I realized that I ate way more than everyone else. My eating was never emotional or anything I just longed for that satiated feeling which took a tin of food to get me there. The sleeve was exactly what I needed...REDUCED VOLUME. So very thankful. LAST NIGHT WE WENT SHOPPING, I HAD BEEN TO A FRIEND'S YARD SALE ON THURS, I BOUGHT A PAIR OF JEAN BERMUDA SHORTS THAT WERE A SIX 16, never thought for a second they would fit, but since I dont have many votes right now I tried then on and they fit, and the t shirt was an xxl and it fit, I JUST HONESTLY CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! I haven't worn a 16 since I was like 16 and I'm 36!!!!! -
January 15th, 2015 Anyone?

The hardest thing was when I lost my appetite, had severe nausea, anxiety and depression. I didn't even want to wake up in the morning. I don't have a clue what was going on, never ever felt like that in my life. But I got thru it just like everyone said I would. And I'm so happy now. -

Me too! I can't believe it's been 4 months! I can't believe it when I look in the mirror, I can't believe in another month or two I could be in onederland. I took before photos and put them in a vault on my phone and they went corrupt four some reason so I'm trying to find a pic so that I can do the before and after...do you have one yet? -

How much zinc??? -
I am four months out and I have a rash that started on both wrists, worked it's way halfway up my arms and is now past the inside of my elbow. Red bumpy rough itchy at times. Anyone experience any of this. I thought it might have been melatonin but I quit that about two weeks ago and it's still not all cleared up.

Haven't changed anything, will try the cerave, using hydrocortisone currently.

Maybe I am atypical, but the sleeve didn't help with hunger
downsizingdiva replied to chunkyloverlovesyou's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I thought I was hungry a lit until I started taking acid reducers...don't feel that way anymore unless I'm truly hungry. -

You will feel better soon. I promise I felt hopeless like I would never feel better, like I didn't care If I woke up or not...But I got better and you will too -
It's so hard to ignore all the food commercials!
downsizingdiva replied to wannaBthinsoon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In the beginning I would turn the channel during commercials, that's was mostly in my pre op liquid diet, I'm three months out now, they don't bother me now. -
Nausea 2 months out
downsizingdiva replied to DroppinLikeItsHot's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I did the same thing, someone on here mentioned that the nerve endings etc are probably healed more or better by that time causing more sensitivity. Made sense to me...
