Help Not Loosing Anymore
I am in the same boat. I was sleeved on 4/10. I have lost almost 20 lbs since then (which I am very happy about!), but for the past few days I have been stuck at the same number. I am hoping that I will get on sometime this week and have lost a chunk. Who knows. It will come off. It WILL!!!

The first couple weeks we are supposed to focus on fluids (per my dr). It is almost impossible to get all your protein in at first. Just concentrate on liquids and do your best.

When Are Nuts And Almonds Generally Allowed?
I have a list from my surgeon for post op diet and the weeks they are allowed, but don't see mention of almonds or nuts. I can have peanut butter now, so is it safe to assume as long as they are chewed well, I can have almonds and nuts? Any thoughts?

Is This Normal? Gross - Warning..
Since I am still on liquids, I think it is the way I am taking my pills that is making it do that. I have to break the pain pill into 2 and I have zofran to take. So I am taking 3 pieces right after each other. Maybe if I wait a couple minutes between each piece it will stop??

Is This Normal? Gross - Warning..
I was sleeved on Tuesday. I have had probably 4 bouts of this happening.. I get an overwhelming urge to throw up, and I just end up spitting up foamy saliva. It lasts for about a minute and goes away. Please tell me this is normal and not something weird my sleeve is doing.. Should I worry? If this is normal - how long will this happen?
