Topic: RE: Qestion about eggs????:-s
I still cannot eat an entire scrambled egg!!! And I too loved scrambled eggs before surgery!!! I find that if I scramble it with a little milk and some cheese, that the taste is a little better. But I don't know if it is mental, or if it just fills me up really quick. About halfway through I feel like it is almost stuck in my throat!!!

Barbara, PCOS is polycystic ovarian syndrome. It can be the cause of infertility, irregular periods, facial hair, weight gain, and many other things.

Topic: RE: 1.Dizziness? & 2.protein grams?
I had surgery on 10/18 and have also started having occasional dizziness. The first time I had it was a few weeks ago. It got so bad that I went to the Dr. He said it was from the rapid weight loss and my body just had to readjust. He also ordered some labs, which came back fine. I do notice that when I don't eat enough or get in enough protein, I feel lightheaded.
But, I feel so much better overall that this is a small price to pay. I know I'm eating "right" by the way I feel - GOOD!!!

Topic: RE: Still in Shock!
You go girl! Congratulations! 
I feel like I moved into an new town when I shop for clothes. I have NO IDEA where "normal" sizes are in the stores - and sometimes I feel like someone is going to say to me - "Mame - The plus sizes are in another department". And actually, I am still in shock that I can go to misses and juniors - size 12 - 16 pants (depending on the cut).
Is there anyone else who just doesn't see the loss in the mirror? I am beginning to see it - and I've lost about 70 lbs. and 65 inches!

Does make you feel good doesn't it. Congratulations. 
My starting BMI was 47.6 I'm now at 36.2 
It feels like it took me forever to get this far. I've been a very slow loser.

Topic: No longer 'morbidly obese' !!!! -84 lbs
Hey -- I just checked my BMI again, and I am no longer 'morbidly obese', but just 'obese'!
...of course I want to be even better than THAT, but this is awesome! That just made my day!
How about everyone else?? Where are you at now?? How much have you lost??

I am now 5 months out -- and still, after a few bites of a scrambled egg, it just makes me nauseus. 
I cant do it. I used to love eggs!
I tried the egg beaters ... didnt like them .....

I was thinking the same thing. I had surgery 10-6-04, and I know I dont get enough water and protein in. I am working on it .... but I wondered why all of a sudden I was having dizzy spells and feeling light-headed. I'm glad to know that at least I am not alone!
