downsizingdiva

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.

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!!!!!

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.

ARE U TAKING ACID REDUCERS, IF NOT THE ACID WILL MAKE I THINK U R HUNGRY

4 months out now, had two really rough months of nausea anxiety was almost suicidal, I've lost 50 lbs and everything is normal now, so very glad I did this.

I was the same way!

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?

Yea, unfortunately I have lot of before pictures UUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! I have yet to take an after picture yet. I guess I am still afraid to see what the picture looks like! Please keep me updated on your progress. Your doing AWESOME girl!!!!!!!!!! My husband keeps staring at me. I ask him why do you keep staring at me and he says I never seen you look this thin before! I am so proud of you!

That is awesome! I've lost 50 and have gone from a tight 24 to size 18 which is loose

Size tight 24 to 18 in 4 months, I bought some things but not much

I did...But don't anymore

Add Water

Triple zero

I've lost less than that in almost the same amount of time, you're fine.

I am getting splotches on chest as well now...

DOES ANYONE'S RASH LOOK LIKE THIS???

How much zinc???

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

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.

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

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.

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...

I HAVE TO SHARE THIS. I TOLD ONLY DR, FIANCE, AND MY KIDS, WHEN I WENT TO MY REGULAR DR, WHO SUGGESTED THE SURGERY, ABOUT TWO MONTHS OUT, WHEN HIS NURSE (WHO I KNOW OUTSIDE OF THE DR. OFFICE) FOUND OUT THAT I HAD THE SURGERY IN JANUARY, HER COMMENT WAS, " YOU'VE LOST 50 POUNDS, AND YOU HAD THE SURGERY, HERE I THOUGHT YOU HAD BEEN DIETING REALLY HARD". I HAD TO BRING IT TO HER ATTENTION THAT I LOST 30 ON MY OWN BEFORE SURGERY AND 20 AFTER SURGERY AND THAT YESI HAD BEEN WORKING HARD......SHE AND OTHER PEOPLE LIKE THE SURGERY IS JUST A BREEZE, TICKED ME OFF SO BAD. EVEN SOME PEOPLE IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AND VIEW IT AS THE EASY WAY OUT OR THE MAGIC WAND. I'M STILL ILL ABOUT IT AND SO GLAD I CHOSE NOT TO TELL ANYONE.

FIANCE, DR, KIDS -NOONE ELSE ON THE PLANET
