Smoking before surgery
- eating more then i should
i know i should only eat about a cup of food,but i am still hungry after that,so i have been eating when hungry.most of the time its actual hunger so i give in,i go for my 3rd fill the 24th,is anyone else like this??- Taking new meds with weight gain as a side effect
i take phsyc meds and i am doing just fine,thoe side effects you are talking about are just possibilities,it does not mean you will have them- pigged out
THANK YOU....- pigged out
thanks for the encouragement- pigged out
iate like a pig yesterday and thankfully,i didnt gain anything.i guess i felt sorry for myself and gave in to the food demon- still hungry
i sure hope that it dosnt take that long i dont go for anther fill untill may 24th- still hungry
why am i still hungry after 2nd fill? is this normal- 2nd fill today
thank you- 2nd fill today
once the doc found the middle of the port,it wasnt bad.but when he jabbed me with the needle i almost kicked him!!i still feel like i have no restriction.i did lose another pound however,but i assume that was from fluids only that day- Why did I gain weight
i wouldnt worry about 1 1/2 lbs.your weight will fluctuate due to Water retention,now if you gained 5 lbs then i would worry.- need a doctor in nj
