I know with how sensitive my mouth is though, it's probably going to be awhile. I've also been craving garlic and ginger. I think my body is telling me it's time for some sort of a cleanse, lol. I figure once the stitches are out, I'm going to do a nice mini cleanse with some cupping, sauna time, and teas. I've been drinking some of my liver detox teas intermittently, but they're really messing with my stomach right now, which is odd.

duckydoom Wrote:@ Snowepin - do you have insurance? Mine covered my surgery in full, I think I have a $100 copay. I had to get it approved, but it was easier than I thought. The hard part for me was saving up enough time off and getting leave approved to have it done. I'm really lucky that I have a job where I can do that, I must admit.

duckydoom Wrote:Okay, so the nurse *may* have been right. I'm feeling loads better overall, though I still have the pain and make a pathetic noise when I yawn/burp/hiccup. That's the only thing I really have left to complain about. Weight loss is at 13 lbs so far (which is way better than when I'd stuck religiously to different diets such as Weight Watchers and Nutrisystem for a year!), and I'm at the 2 week mark today. My shoes are fitting better - I'd been wearing birkenstocks that I'd had to cut extra holes into so they'd fit my "fat foot," and I got to take them in 2 notches on both feet! I'm able to fit into clothes that I hadn't been able to in months, which I contribute to the better breathing while I sleep, which should be helping my body process the lymphatic fluids better (or so doc say).

Seriously... even with monitored diets and exercise, and even trying a starvation diet, I'd never seen such results. Could it truly be just the increase in oxygen while I sleep? That's what my doc says, and that's what I'll happily believeCongratulations on the weight loss. However, don't get too happy yet. Apnea can lead to water retention. Your comment about the feet definitely sounds like water retention. Losing the extra water is a good thing, but it only goes so far. You may also be losing weight because you're not eating much because of the throat pain.

Steven Wrote:So, how much of the weight loss is due solely because of the surgery & your inability to eat what you ate before the surgery? |
