Topic: RE: Anyone STARVING?!!
Thanks Terry! The thing is, I'm doing all of that. (I'm anal that way) I was in the hospital from Dec 12-January 1. Christmas SUCKED this year. And then I was in two more times in January. The the second week in December, I was rushed in and he thought it was my gallbladder so he went after that and realized that I had a rare kind of hernia. I was told 1 in 10,000 get this type and he was going to write an article about it in the journal. He converted to open, took out the gallbladder, and repaired the hernia but on Christmas day, he opened me up again for adhesions and a blockage. I've been having random attacks where I'm doubled over in pain sometimes after I eat. My pouch and I have been checked prodded and poked. They say everything is GREAT. It doesn't happen all the time but just recently I feel like I can inhale the fridge and spit out the bolts. LOL! I'm not gaining anything though so maybe it's hormonal or my body is trying to catch up for all the days that I didn't get to eat and was hooked up to the pic line for my nutrients. Thanks for all the tips. Hannah

What are you eating? I know when I ea****ery things like cottage cheese I tend to get hungry quicker than when I eat dense foods like chicken, cheese or fish. So I try to combine some of each. And when I eat too many carbs and not enough proteins I'm hungry faster too. The carbs increase the appetite from what I understand. And are you confusing hunger pangs with stomach sounds like gas? Sometimes my stomach makes noises that I used to think were hunger but I know they're not if I've recently eaten. And how abou****er and other liquids? Are you taking in enough? I drink at least 120 ounces per day, more if I'm working out hard. And are you drinking with meals? That will just push the food through faster making you feel hungry sooner. Just a few suggestions to think about. I'm certainly not perfect but I'm so glad I'm not hungry all the time. For me that is the nicest part of this surgery. Not being hungry all the time. If you're doing everything right you might call your weight loss surgeon and have them take a look at your pouch to see if everything's still ok in there. Good luck. Terry Coles

Hi all, I've had a rough road lately. I spent more than a month in the hospital with a hernia repair and other complications. I went from 272 to 119 and my dr says now I'm UNDERWHEIGHT. The problem I'm having is I'm starving! Even after I eat a meal, within minutes, I'm so hungry! Hannah

Topic: RE: IM STILL SICK ALOT
I still get sick alot to when I do it is my fault. you might have developed a food allergie or intolerence. I puke anytime I eat rice brown, white or rice flour dr. said my body can't process it anymore. I use to love rice and still every oter try a bite only to run to the bathroom. My guess would be your eating something common your body dosn't like. go to your doctor and try to figure it out. My sister had the same surgery and can't have any form of melons without getting sick. hope this helps.

The only time I have to throw up it's my fault for overeating and if it's the least bit greasy, can't tolerate greasey food at all! If you are throwing up for any other reason get to the Dr. ASAP!!! He can get to the reason much easier than we can and he will not reverse this! Can't.

Hi Jackie, Please do go back to your doctor to figure out why you are getting ill. You might want to keep a log of what you are eating and when you are getting ill. Provided that you had gastric bypass surgery, it can't be reversed. I hope things get better for you soon. Terri

Hey there June bugs!! Hope everyone is doing well! I am excited that my picture is updated..woohoo! It really is nice to "see" how far you have come. My weight has pretty much been stuck for months. I am ok with it, really. I would love to get down to 130, but if it never happens, I am for the 1st time in my life comfortable in my own skin. This is the me I was meant to be! Big hugs everyone!!
