Forgot to answer one of your questions - not pregnant, that I know for sure.

Thank you all. I picked up a pkg of Atkins to try and I'm going to go get some unjury to try. I feel so low emotionally I just want to cry. I go back to work on Tuesday and I'm nervous about it. My stomach feels like it is quivering a lot of the time. Did any of you get that? And, what did you do about it?

I was sleeved on 12/3/14. Spent two days in the hospital following surgery. Began nausea and vomiting and returned went to the ER 3 days later to be admitted to the hospital where I stayed for 6 days. Scans & xrays showed a small bowel blockage, however, Dr insisted I did not have a blockage because I could go potty. I have another xray scheduled Tues. Dr thinks it may be scar tissue that may have kinked. Currently I'm down 19lbs. Oh, I also had a pretty good sized hernia repaired, so I have been limited to what I can do. My current issue is I still have nausea but only in the mornings. I have a prescription for the nausea but am reluctant to continue taking it as the Dr. wants me to be able to not have to take it. I have issues with the Protein drinks - I'm a texture girl and can feel the powder and grit found in most of the Protein Drinks, I'm also lactose intolerant. I'm feeling pretty low right now emotionally and would appreciate your all's thoughts.

Hi, I'm 3 1/2 months out my self. Things have been going slow for me. They keep telling me everyone is different. I've had several fills - I'm at 5 1/2 cc's and I think I'm very close to where I need to be. I've only lost 23 pounds so far. The first 18 came off quickly. I would recommend going back to the doctor's office for another fill. Do you fill out a questionnaire when you go to the Dr? How many hours do you go before you get hungry again kind of thing. Do you have anyone you can call that will be your cheerleader? I have someone I call, she's about 10 days ahead of me and we get behind each other and rally. We go to a support group twice a month - and believe it or not - it helps! My philosophy is this - Slow and steady whens the race. And, slow and steady is better than none at all.
