Definitely will! Mine happens at random times not just when I'm eating or drinking. It is so annoying! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 195 GW 135

I worked from home- my brain wasn't normal though right away- foggy, forgetful just not all there. I could work for short stints but because I work in a troubleshooting, figured out what went wrong kind of job I wasn't at my best. If you can take lots of breaks and rest you should be able to do it. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 195 GW 135

You can put in in your planner if you use one. Check out habit tracker, bullet journaling on Pinterest Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 195 GW 135

I almost decided I didn't need it , that I could do it on my own. I figured that I had my whole life to do it on my own and kept gaining back what I lost and then some. I've lost 28 lbs in 5 weeks and feel better than I ever have! You can do this! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 195 GW 135

They pump you full of liquids give it a week! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 195 GW 135

The butterscotch candies have 0 sugar but 15g of sugar alcohol- on my no can do list now. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 195 GW 135

Also discovering that some artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohol makes me so ill! I got some sugar free candy from the dollar store had 15 g of sugar alcohol- every time I eat one I get sweats and clammy and nauseous. I think I have to start watching that. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 195 GW 135

Hi everyone- how's it going? I had stall a couple of weeks ago but am now losing .5 to 1 lb per day again! My clothes are actually getting too big for me! Time to go shopping in my own closet and clear out the bigger ones! Woo hoo! 28 lbs down since the start of this journey. Still having trouble getting my liquids in though - I rarely get more than 30 ounces. I think I need to set a sip timer! Please post an update of your progress/victories/challenges.

Mine also said it is your starting weight that is submitted. I was told they just want to see if you will be successful following the plan. Most of us have lost and regained weight pre surgery. I think they know that's the pattern and for some sustained weight loss will only come with surgery. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

I had a sf kona ice early out too and it made me so sick! So do sf slurpees. St popsicles are fine- I think the flavorings must me too concentrated or something like that. I got some sf butterscotch candies that I am realizing give me the sweats and hot flash- I'm wondering if they are really sf or if maybe they have a high sugar alcohol. This is a trial and error area for sure! I ate something on Saturday that made me so nauseous and gassy for hours and can't figure it out- I only ate yogurt, yoplait 100. I'm wondering if it uses the same artificial sweetener! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

My pcp dr gave me a book called the 10 day sugar detox diet to battle sugar addiction. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Spark people is also free. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Spark people is super easy- you can even scan the bar codes on packages and then adjust the serving size. There's a quick add option. You can also track your weight water and exercise Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

I was just told no driving while in pain meds. I drove less than a week afterward- maybe 4 days. I didn't need a lot of pin meds. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

I agree with all said here. I think it might help to have a counselor - you are going through dramatic changes and having someone who is objective might really help give you insight. A counselor could also give you some great suggestions on how to work through those feelings. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Hi- I'm wondering if anyone has tried cryotherapy ? I was wondering if it might help with the loose skin from weight loss. We have a few places that offer it where I live. I was thinking of trying it a few months out - I'm only 5 weeks now. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Protein2o is good- I got it at Safeway 15 g of protein. Wasn't too sweet. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Tonight I ate yogurt around 5:15- drank water about a half hour later and then another 45 min after that we were walking around Walmart and got the hiccup so there's no reason I should have . So weird! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

I get a single large hiccup when I drink and sometimes when I eator sometimes just out of the blue. I sound like a seal- any thoughts? I used to have that a long time ago and then not again until after my surgery. I did have a haiatal hernia fixed at the time of surgery so I'm wondering if it's from that. Going to ask my surgeon at my next follow up but that's not for awhile. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

I'm 5 weeks out and have lost 27 pounds so far- since my journey (21 since surgery day) I think you are on track. Slow and steady wins the race! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Complications with the sleeve are very uncommon. If you are following your surgeons directions then you should have nothing to worry about. Find something to take your mind off of it. I like to cruise Pinterest for healthy recipes to try. I even like trying new recipes for my family even if I can't eat them- weird I know. Maybe even find a new hobby unrelated to weight loss. Just a thought. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Thanks! That makes sense. I do have my bariatric NUT as well but she costs me $50 every time I see her. I thought I'd see the wellness one, but probably won't. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 197.4 GW 135

Do you have trouble at all with it being fried? I'm afraid to try and fired foods- I've heard it upsets sleeved stomachs. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 197.4 GW 135

Someone else posted that if you hit a stall add another 100 calories to your diet and it will break the stall. When I read that it reminded me of something I read in the book by the extreme weight loss guy- he said virtually the same thing. When he has patients stall when they're eating too few calories he has them eat a little mores the next time I stall I'm going to try it. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 197.4 GW 135
