Topic: RE: Ladies, can we talk Hormone Replacement Therapy???

I will tell you right away, the adverse effects dissolved by themselves after stopping about two weeks; at the same time, I did not do any CPT (after course therapy) on purpose to see if the damage was severe (although gonadorelin was in the fridge just in case). And all thanks to the fact that I used the whole course of rats.army correctly. I took tests, all my hormones are standard, and the free has risen to almost the maximum limit. Good luck, and do not indulge in anything like that; if you are not a professional athlete, believe me, it is not worth it! Trust me; it is not worth it! Professional sports and health never go hand in hand!

I can pretty much guarantee you that you won't be the only one who put on a lot of weight since high school!

I just go to my high school reunion no matter what I weigh. I go to see old friends and catch up on things. Nobody cares about your weight except you.

Topic: RE: I am having a panic

I am glad white dove answered your question. I had a bit of a scare early on but was ok. This place is great about answering questions and you have so many long term patients it is reassuring you can get a valid answer to any question. If I can offer any advice don't over stress about things you are right it is an emotional roller coaster but you will be ok it is one day at a time.

Topic: RE: Mostly hungry only at night?

Yes! Big problem for me and it started when I was a kid because my father wouldn't get home until after 8pm and family meals were always after that time.

Thank you for the response - I am sure that my mind is going places it should not! I know it will get better but right now I am worrying about everything!

I think leaks usually show up right away - like within the first day or two after surgery. And as White Dove said, they're very rare.

I was allowed to eat purees as soon as I got home from the hospital - so mushroom soup that had been pureed with an immersion blender would have been fine. So I'm sure you're fine, too.

Topic: RE: I am having a panic

Thank you so much - I just needed some reassurance and things to lookout for. For some reason I can google all of this but "hearing" it from someone else calms my worries. I really appreciate the response- being only 5 days post-op I still have so many fears and struggles. It is a physical and emotional roller coaster right now.

Topic: RE: I am having a panic

I don't believe little bits of mushroom will cause a leak. Some surgeons allow solid food right after surgery. Here are symptoms of both surgeries. I am sure you have nothing to worry about. Leaks are very rare.

Symptoms of a sleeve leak include

  • pain in the abdomen that gets worse rather than better
  • swelling in the stomach
  • pain in the left shoulder or chest
  • dizziness
  • fever
  • infection
  • the appearance of sickness.

A leak after gastric bypass:

  • Fast heart rate

  • Fever

  • Chills

  • Stomach pain

  • Chest pain

  • Shortness of breath (rapid breathing or difficulty breathing)

  • Fluid leaking from an incision site

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Pain in the left shoulder area

  • Low blood pressure

  • Less urine

  • General feeling of discomfort (malaise)
