I know my surgeon told me that he likes his patients to wait 2 years before trying after surgery.
Topic: Monday weigh in
I'm up two pounds this week.....Doing a lot of snacking.....I need to get back to following the post op eating rules but I am having trouble not giving in to the urges.....I never used to crave sweets the way I do now...my demon was fats and salty snacks. Hope I can do better this week.
Have a great week everyone.

Topic: RE: ? on the rubling in the tummy
I get that too. I get a lot of rumbling in the bowels too. I seem to have a lot of gas since the surgery. I haven't tried gas x yet but I might. I wish I didn't feel hungry but lately I seem to feel hungry all the time. I know a lot of it is "head hunger" but it's really hard to ignore.

Good Luck with whatever you decide. I agree with Kathleen...you need to talk to your doctor and make sure the time is right for you. Make sure you are as healthy as you can be. Fran

Hi Kathleen,
You take care of yourself. Make sure you snack with healthy snacks....wake up those bowels. I've been snacking alot and seem to be making a lot of sugary choises....don't know why I keep doing it they make me feel kind of sick but I just keep eating them. Did you get your pouch stretched too? If you did how is that going....can you keep down more food? I'll be having my surgery In October and will be off work for 3-6 months so pretty soon I'll be at home and on the boards and able to keep you company. I went to therapy today and have some preop exercises to do to get ready for surgery so maybe that will keep me busy and stop me from grazing. Sure hope so. Talk to you soon.

Topic: ? on the rubling in the tummy
Does anyone get that rumbling in the stomach still?!! i tried thinking it was "maybe im hungary and i just dont FEEL hungary" but the more i eat when that occurs....it doesnt stop it. Is this normal do u think?! I've actually gotten so used to it that i dont FEEL it anymore i can just hear it...wierd.

Hi there. What does your Surgeon say about pregnancy? I do not know much about it. I know children are a blessing, and precious! I am just too old and cranky to have anymore hehe. If the Surgeon says it is safe for you, I would go for it! Best of luck to you!!!
