i had the same problem. I called it buyers remorse I ended up being constipated. And the doc ordered the GI to look at my pouch. It does get better. Just like gruiz27 said

You can go bald, without the protein and vitamins.

It took me 6 months to tolerate eggs and cheese. Eggs by themselves I was fine. Yogurt... Still scares me I got so sick. Maybe add some lactaid tablets? It has been great for me! I wish I had taken it sooner, because I may want to actually try yogurt again.

???? good job for tossing it out. Maybe you were feeling protein deprived or even dehydrated? I know that I can crave things not so good for me if I don't have enough of either. good luck!

I started at 259, so you may not want my response. I have found there are times when I have lost more quickly than others. Just keep at it. You are doing wonderfully! I'm sure your doc will be pleased!!

I have been having body image issues.... I feel like I still look like old me. I find myself in the plus size clothing section when really I need to be in the juniors section now that I'm anywhere from a small to medium and 6-8 jean size... I still see myself as anywhere from an 18-22

This is the main reason I had surgery. My experience is YES!!! it fixed it for me!!! I can eat jalapeños, with my food now. I enjoy eating "normal" things like spaghetti sauce, I avoid the pasta, but it's a very meaty sauce . Things I would not have dared to eat, lemons, limes, citrus of any kind, tomatoes.... I feel like a new woman. I'm sooooooo glad my reflux is gone!! I keep waiting for it to rear its ugly head, but it hasn't and I had my surgery in October 2014

When I get the hunger headaches I peel a pickle and eat it... In tiny slices... It helps me to feel better. I think it has to do with the electrolytes. It was also a suggestion from years ago when I did Medicaid so I knew it would work.

I had mine October 15th

That's awesome!

@@freelyme I've been told some of the best docs are here in the LoneStar state! ????

Thank you! I will keep you posted!

@@freelyme thanks! Who was your doc?

@@freelyme, I hope you saw, I'm in New Braunfels. They are going to see if it helps my food stop getting stuck. They think I may have scarred too much wher my pouch drains, so I will be getting the end and possible stretch then on the 29th. In the mean time, I LOVE relegan! It helps to relax my intestine/pouch so I'm not in pain! and takes away the nausea!

@@j.marie I'm in New Braunfels! Who did your procedure? I had Dr. Pilcher and I do love him!

They started me on relegan(?) for nausea... Oh my heaven is it awesome. Also, my weight today was 222.4 so it matched my scale at home perfectly. naked at home I'm 219. Something.. Down from 255. So even feeling cruddy my 4 week victory is 35 lbs.

I feel so cruddy. I went to my doc, my weight is down and they just started me on an"r" medication I felt so good I went to celebrate our adoptions with my family, 4 & 6 years, and they had nothing I could eat so I literally picked some cheese off the pizza and ate a super small amt. never again. I'm having also to go in for an end and possibly my pouch to be stretched ;/

@@carolk36 my NUT SAYS NO CEREAL.. Sorry for the caps. She said you can't get enough protein in most cereal

@@tacycakes I think we are all going to have "Debbie Downer"days and weeks, isn't that why we all sought out this forum? For friendly support? (((Hugs)))????

@@kimodell69 great question... I want to know too!

@@AmyLynn I wear spanx, I get them at kohls or lane Bryant. They are expensive, but they hold in my lower belly too so I don't feel so self conscious.

@@DoraP thank you for making me feel "normal" ????
