In reply to the salty taste, I think it's part due to a more bland diet and maybe due to some dehydration. I have experienced to the same thing. It's not as bad now as I am 1 year out but it was definitely there. As for the air in the esophagus, I still get gurgling while I eat. I dont know if it's because my stomach is more of a tube than a pouch. I cant control it but it doesn't stop me from eating. Sometimes it happens after I eat too. It's not like a burp, it's just lose air that comes up.

I started to double up on the vitamins. In the am - multi for her / hair-nail / prenatal. In the pm - a different Multi / calcium It's been 2 weeks since I started this and using shampoo with biotin / once every 3 days at night spray vit. E I see less hair in the drain shower and on the brush. But no regrowth yet. Passing on what I see or not see LOL

My surgery date is March 19th and I am excited and nervous. I have been worried about after and if I can handle this. You have made me feel so great today and I am sure in the coming weeks before my surgery I will read and reread your story. You can get on this site sometimes and read too much information, but today you truly made me feel better about my decision. Thank You and God Bless You

Good news! You'll be back on track and happy in no time. Congratulations Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

100% better! Thanks.

Be careful taking nutritional advice from someone without bariatric expertise. Our needs are different and since our volume is so restricted, you have to do a balancing act.

I had my surgery on February 15 & I’ve already lost 17lbs. So far no issues with nausea or vomiting. So far so good. If I keep this up I’ll be in my swimsuit by summer!🤗👙

I went through a whole Laughing Cow cheese phase!

They are a little expensive. The one I got was a 12 inch synthetic topper. The total with tax was $211.62. If you wanted a shorter one I think it would be cheaper. I'm a graying 49 year old and I am constantly having to do root touch ups so with the topper you can hide your gray a lot longer which I figure will save a ton of money and therefore pay for itself. But I'll tell ya the confidence I felt just having it on in the salon was so nice because my scalp can be slightly visible especially in overhead lighting and now I will never have to be embarrassed about that anymore.
