  1. After Bypass surgery your body gets dumped with hormones so a lot of people feel like this!! It does get better but if it continues, make sure and talk to someone! Were you taking any anti-depressants before surgery? If so, they may need to be adjusted due to your body absorbing everything different or not at all.

    I was ready to eat the squirrel...

    My son just shot his first deer!! 8 point 240 pound buck!! Our freezer is full but I'm not crazy about venison and would much rather moose!! And, I think only you crazy Americans like bear!! lol
  3. I became lactose intolerant also and your symptoms sound exactly like mine.

    Smoking

    I smoked before and after!! I couldn't take Champix (Canada name) cause it caused suicidal thoughts in me but have quit cigarettes and have been vaping!! Almost a year now but I may be addicted to the vaping! lol

    Kinda freaked out

    I was 62 when I had gastic bypass, I had everything you have and it is all gone now. My surgeon told me that the sleeve would not be a good option because it can cause acid reflux and make current reflux worse. I have NEVER regretted my decision!! I was only obese for 10 years but they were an awful 10 years!! Not just because of how I looked but how people looked at me and how obese people are treated in general!!
  8. Not to be a mean girl, cause I'm not, but didn't you expect a reaction when YOU brought up the past? I've posted several things on different posts and never been attacked or jumped on!!
  9. I can only sleep on my side also due to back problems. Put a pillow between your knees and a pillow at your back. The same way they recommend pregnant women sleep. It helps a lot.

    Does anyone regret their surgery?

    Why?? Oh, never mind!! I read the whole thread!!
  11. Yep, I can't believe how snarky some of the posts have become!! There is an old saying, "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies!" When a question is asked, most reasonable, people assume that a straight answer will be given! Better not to ask questions!! I accept brutal honesty!!
  12. I had a bypass and had very low energy but was out weeding my flowerbeds two days after surgery!! No pain but did manage to rip my staple out from the left side which I think was the drainage hole anyway!!
  13. Good luck and good vibes going your way!!
  14. My sister from Florida just messaged me wanting my address cause she is sending me a Fitbit!! Ask and you shall receive!! lol
  15. You'll have to move to Canada for that or win the lottery!! lol
  16. I's really like a Fitbit and made sure to mention it to my son!!
  17. There may be a correlation with the gain and the Crystal Light. I had regained 8 pounds and was hungry a lot. Then I realized that it all started when I was drinking my water with Crystal Light or Mio. I think the artificial sweeteners screw with the receptors in your brain.
  18. I've noticed a bleach taste and smell on food that I never experienced before surgery!! I thought it was all in my head!! We also have our own Water so not from there!!

    Bariatric Adult Diapers

    Actually, during the night a couple of times, I defecated in my pants!! Thought it was gas, or in my sleep rather, thought it was gas!! Threw out several pair of underwear! But no way to diapers!
  20. Also, chocolate doesn't help and may slow your weight loss. It doesn't take much sometimes!
  21. I'm in!! I still have 20 lbs to lose!! This will keep me honest!

    Genepro

    We offer free shipping for all orders over $59 at http://Store.BariatricPal.com I tried to order a few things off of your site but the delivery charges to Canada were horrific!! Maybe at some point, you can get a supplier in Canada? I notice there are quite a few Canadians on this board!!
  25. I had the same problem till I was advised, on this site to increase my sodium. It has helped my legs a lot!!
