  1. also keep a glass of Water beside your bed when you wake up take a sip, i did that all throughout the night Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  2. my mouth was so dry i would wake up in the middle of the night feeling like my mouth was a desert! it will pass i'm now 6 weeks out and this feeling is gone but i remember it and i thought something was seriously wrong. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  3. don't worry it's not real fat or weight gain! to gain 1 pound you would have to eat 3,500 cals more than you need a day! which at five weeks out i've doubt you done. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  4. i wouldn't risk chewing gum, if you swallowed it by mistake you would need surgery to get it out. i know some are super careful but honestly you don't know what could happen and it's not worth the risk. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  5. i had surgery september 22nd i started at 253(bmi 39.8) day of surgery i was 240 today i am 220 and have been in a stall for almost 3 weeks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  6. yeah but idiopathic means they don't know what causes it so they just assume weight. ive met people who are below a normal bmi with it. was just curious if anyone is farther out and it worked for them ive heard mixed stories. so i'm very curious. i just don't want to have to get shunt surgery which is next if this fails.

  7. i'm 6 weeks out, i've been in a stall for 3 weeks where i've actually gained two pounds. it is very depressing! i know stalls happen but doesn't make it any easier. how long was your first stall? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  8. i know this is old, i have iih i was put into remission after optic nerve stealth fenestration surgery for about 5 months but wanted to try weight loss to make sure it didn't come back. my neuro surgeon swore if i lost 20 pounds i would be cured. well i had surgery september 22 and i'm having problems again!!!!!! ugh how are you doing? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  9. anyone here have iih?? ive been in remission for about 6-7 months now just had surgery september 22 so i'm about 5-6 weeks out, and my whooshing sound in my ear has just came back. i'm praying the headaches/eye issues stay away. but just wanted to know if weight loss cured you or made you worse? my neurosurgeon swore if i lost 20 pounds i would be cured well i'm down 37 and it's starting again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  11. i'm 5 weeks out i've been in a stall for 3 weeks now. sucks but it will break sooner or later. i'm curious how your getting 1200 cals in though i can't even get any where close to that Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  12. we had to give up coffee for at least 3 months after surgery after that we are allowed coffee. of course we are always allowed decaf! just caffeine is hard on the new stomach Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  13. i'm only a month out but milk makes me sick!!! anything made with milk yuck turns my tummy. but i would gladly give up milk to be able to have a better life Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  14. i have a copper iud in, i had surgery september 22nd which i was also on my period... i was expecting my period to be the 22nd but nothing yet? i'm terrified i'm pregnant even though i have an iud in. (i've only had the iud for 3 months now) what gives? does the sudden weight loss effect my cycle? i'm terrified!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  15. yes too early my plan had me on full fluids for 2 weeks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  16. i'm 4 weeks out and can hardly get 2oz down. it really depends what it is for me as i'm on soft foods so something's i can eat way more of Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  17. i felt awful for about 2 weeks after RNY dizzy tired. i'm 3 almost 4 weeks out and i have a lot more energy and feel so much better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  18. thanks everyone i took it last night and i feel 1000 times better. i actually just went over my discharge papers and this was listed to take if needed. so i feel better about that too sometimes i forget to check my paper work Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  20. i've always wondered how you would know if you had a leak? i tried to search it but didn't find anything. do leaks happen to some people? or only if you go off plan? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  21. i didn't say pasta, i just said carbs in general. everyone on these forums always say no carbs bread etc. see you had them. the point is to learn how to eat healthy, i didn't say go to olive garden get pasta and breadsticks now did i? i said one day you will eat carbs.... i know one day i'll eat carbs again it's making the correct choices as i stated. changing your relationship with food. people on these forums i tell ya Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  22. I would also.. I'm 5 years and guess what.. I eat cake on my birthday and my son's birthday. I gave up carbs in the beginning but now I don't scarf down a bag of chips or eat half a cake to myself. Sent from my HTCD100LVWPP using the BariatricPal App see! you've changed your relationship with food and that's the most important part otherwise you would fail, i wish more would realize this instead of saying "no never have carbs" it's going to come up in life! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  23. i don't think fruit with seeds is allowed, my plan doesn't talk about dried fruit but it does say i'm allowed melons. just be careful because it is high in sugars, natural sugar yes but still sugar Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  24. i love when people say they will never eat carbs again, one day your going to binge and your going to feel so bad. one day i hate to say it your going to eat carbs, you need to get a good relationship with food to know how to limit. i would love to hear from someone 10 years out saying they have never eaten carbs...

  25. noodles are good during the loosing stage, all bread products will be very heavy on your stomach Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
