Topic: Thyroid
I had a wacky thyroid before surg. 
It went up and down.
???nOW IT IS VERY OVERACTIVE.
The hot flashes are unreal! I just want to rip all my clothes off. I think they are worse than when I went through my change?
HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM OR IS IT BECAUSE OF MY PREVIOUSE TROUBLE? I GUESS I AM WONDERING IF MY SURG INHANCED THINGS?

Hello Tiffany, 
Stats:
Eating: It is going ok, although I am still never hungry and still feel like I have to throw up in the morning, and sometimes throughout the day when I don't eat. 
Medicines: Those are going to be the death of me, I just can't seem to take them, and I know that I am going to regret this in the long run!
Fav. foods: shrimp, salad, and applesauce
Drink: Diet pepsi slurpee from 7-11
Liquids: I generally get them all in bu****er always first
Exercise: I walk for 2.5 miles in 30 min. and do a tummie toner weight machine everyday at the gym. 
Weight loss: 62 pounds, no clue on inches, but I can almost fit into a size 16 regualr Tommy jeans (Lord knows those run small enough).

Topic: RE: My pouch is growling??????
Hello surgery date buddy! i had my open rny micropouch surgery on the 4th of november.
i am losing at an average rate of about 1/2 pound a day. I did go through a 3 week period where i didnt lose a damn thing, but now i seem to be back on the losing track.
i started at 262 and after weighing myself today I am now at 214, that would make it about 48lbs total since surgery date. I know it frustrates me too that, more often than not, people seem to be losing faster than me. I have come to terms that I am just a slow loser and that if i didnt lose another single pound, that I am 48lbs lighter than i was 3 months ago.
I wish the best for ya and wanted to let you know that you are such a GREAT LOSER!!

Hi Dorinda,
I also experience lots of noise in the tummy area 
but I think it's just your new works digesting food and moving threw your intestines. Also I think certain foods like milk makes more noise than others. 
I have only lost 47 pounds and it will be three months on tuesday the 10th. My surgeon says if you loose close to 10 pounds a month your right on track and as long as your loosing I wouldn't be too worried about it. Everyone looses differently some slower than others, I was worried about that too in the beginning. Also your body needs to catch up to the large amounts of weight it lost at one time and then it continues to loose again, so I have been told. Keep up the good work 
and good luck.

Congrads Stacy,

and can't wait to be way below that so he can see my transformation. Keep up the good work.

Hi Tiffany,
Yes, this board is very quiet. Here's my stats:
I am eating very well now
favorite food right now I would say is cheese and cashews
Drink is Crystal Light
I usually get all my liquids in
I walk on the treadmill whenever possible
I have lost 47 pounds so far and I will measure myself on the 10th to see the complete inches but as of 1/10/04 it was 17 inches.
I try to get all my protein in every day, sometimes I have to have a protein drink or I will eat a protein bar. I have only threw up three times, not a pleasant experience. I have to up my exercise also, but so far I am doing fine and am very happy with the results. Keep up the good work.

Has anyone else had this happen? My pouch growls as if I am hungry when I am not even the slightest bit hungry,and then it makes other noises like I'm passing gas or something and it is so loud my DH hears it and makes jokes while we are in bed he says things like quite down in there I can't hear the tv, now it is funny when we are home but it can become embarrassing out in public 
because people actually think you are passing gas when you are not. Does anyone know why this happens? By the way I changed my name, some of you know me as Dorinda .
RNY 11/4/03 -40lbs
Am I losing too slowly? I think the first month out I lost like 29 lbs but then the next I only lost 8 lbs for the whole entire month 
I am kinda worried.
