I found this information and I thought it was good to post for "New Post-OP Sleevers" and/or if some "Veteran Sleevers" out there would like to review or restart their Post-OP phase because maybe the hit a stall:            Dietary Guidelines After Bariatric Surgery       General Guidelines   Eat balanced meals with smaill portions.Keep a daily record of your food portions and of your calorie and protein intake.Eat slowly and chew small bites of food thoroughly.Avoid rice, bread, raw v
I found this information and I thought it was good to post it's something that some of  the long term sleevers have concerns about even some of the newbies have concerns about what if:     Weight regain after bariatric surgery can be an uncomfortable subject and one that both surgeons and patients want to avoid talking about, but can’t.

I love water but, a friend of mine suggested that I try coconut water, believe it or not i've never tried it before - i've seen it everywhere but never had the urge to try it - mind you I like coconut cake, coconut milkshakes and coconut cream pie!

These two make my day a little lighter. Since my surgery I have had like most folks i've seen on here really bad acid reflux. I usually take a PPI - Protonics but my surgeon doesn't want me to stay on them long time he suggested that I get another GI and that I may need to have a revison to the RNY (not happening)!
