Please tell me I'm not the only one.I am feeling soreness in my shoulder and upper arms.The pain is like a toothache.Its like arthritis.I think its the loss of weight but I gotta know if anyone else is getting this too. Also does anyone get bad gas pains in the middle of night that wake you. I have had 2 incidents in the last 6 weeks. Dr.Roye says its not major or anything with the surgery but let me tell you the pain almost made me call 911 the other night.Im no baby with pain but still want to know if Im not the only one!!

I myself eat 3 meals of 4 oz. and 2 or 3 snacks of 2 oz. per day. Your pouch does not like to be empty - drinking lots of fluids helps too. The dry heaves could that be from acid build up? Dawn -113

Kathy, You should probably check with your surgeon as I believe most of us here eat 3 small meals and then 3 snacks per day. Our pouches are so small that we really don't eat that much and certainly by a few hours later we will feel those hunger pangs. Make sure your getting enough protein as that will fill you up, and getting in all your water too. The water will bloat you and curb your appetite somewhat. Good luck! Kim R/az

Kathy, what about eating something really small every couple of hours? i had to do that in the beginning; every couple of hours I would feel so ill. So I would have a bite of yougurt, then 3 hrs or so later maybe an eggbeater, etc... It helped alot and the nausea went away after a week or so... Best of luck to ya! I know it is a sucky feeling to dry-heave UGH...

Topic: feeling too hungry

I eat my regular meals then after 2-3 hours I am so hungry if I don't get something to eat I will throw up with the dry heaves. Has anyone else ever experienced this. Thanks for your input

Topic: RE: PLATEAU

I agree with Michael about the calorie spike. It seemed to help me back when I was stuck at -70. Increase your intake of food and liguid and see if that kick starts your system. It has started to slow down but as long as you are still on the loosing side you are on the right track. Dawn -113

Topic: RE: Lunch Box Ideas

cheese, turkey pepperoni, summer sausage, eggs, lunch meats, soy nuts, nuts of anykind, tuna, chili... these are just some of my things I eat for lunch. It really depends if you can bring leftovers to warm, or are you really cold brown baggin. Dawn -113
