Ok, one day late but I was not goin to weigh late in the day after returning from camping. Much better week!! Last week 244lbs after gaining one and this week 240lbs.....BMI is 39.9.....I am just plain Obese now Today I am 5 months post op (with my surgery buddies as well!) Can't believe how fast it has gone. I will post my new pics soon! Donna

I do that too- and I agree with Chantal. I end up having to really slow down and focus- Why am I eating? Am I hungry or is it something else? If I can stop myself even one time a day because I've really thought about it, then it's better than nothing! If nothing else- my post surgery days- I have some crystal light instead. That usually passes the hunger for a while. It's a hard problem to work on! Sometimes it's too late and you don't even realize that it's even happened. And surgery doesn't stop that. The good news is that we're all going through it and we're all here to support each other. It's great to bounce ideas off each other for this kind of thing. Love my Mayers! Kathy

I've had this happen twice now and I think it's time to speak to the doctor about it. Tonight I was visiting a woman from my support group. We were standing in her kitchen talking and out of nowhere I started feeling really dizzy, had blurred vision, the whole deal. Finally I asked where the washroom was and ran in to sit down. By this time, I could hardly hear anything even. I sat down, took some deep breaths and looked in the mirror - I was white as a ghost. I started sweating a bit...but went back out and said that I had to go home. I felt fine once I was in the car. Last time this happened was last month, and I spoke to the nurse and he said that I was probably hypoglycemic since I hadn't really eaten that day. But I ate today! I ate normally all day and had most of my water intake. So what gives? I've had a lot of head rush when I get up too fast or something. I had never really experienced that before surgery. When I get up too fast I get blurred vision which lasts a few seconds but then passes. All of my blood tests came back normal last month, I've just re-started taking my vitamins (I had been slacking in recent weeks) so I really have no idea what this could be. Anyone else experience something similar?

Looking fantastic Kathy! You look a lot younger too, has anyone told you that before? How tall are you if you don't mind me asking?

You look great John!! Way to go!! Congratulations on your wow moment too!! ~~Betsy
