I'm 3 weeks postop. The doc cleared me for light workouts. I did about an hour on the treadmill and felt weak. Anyone else experience this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am also transitioning. I can have a ounce of a tuna packet or deli meat and cheese. That's the extent of my eating right now in addition to a couple spoons of yogurt. I was planning to take Protein shakes for sure. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've followed my book to a T and I feel I'm hitting roadblocks. I'm maybe able to get down two or three bites of anything and my stomach is making weird noises and won't let me eat anymore. I think I'm eating half of what the book is saying I should. I can get down all my fluids, food still a struggle. Anyone else? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the soft stage now. I was told to try eggs, eggs don't agree with my new pouch no matter how I try them. What do you have for Breakfast other than Protein shakes? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is it normal to have such bitter taste after brushing in the morning? I know of course before the surgery after you may have off taste buds after brushing but I'm experiencing a super bitter aftertastes lasting a good while. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My husband, children and I travel to the in-laws every Thanksgiving. I will only be three weeks postop on soft foods. I'm wondering should I be prepared to go grocery shopping or just take my food scale and purée machine for turkey and green Beans? I don't know why I'm so anxious about this. I'm sure family may notice. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you Alex! momfirst, a 20oz G2 is pretty much the most I can get down and I'm still working on that. I'm still trying on my Protein shake. The mushies will have to wait I guess, I'll keep trying. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

travelher, yes I had the band removed because it slipped and got the sleeve on Tuesday. My surgeon says I'm having such difficulties getting things down because of scarring from the band I was wondering if anyone had experienced this and how long it went on.

ella37, I am much better. I am still struggling to get down liquids. I'm supposed to have added yogurt and broth but they don't go down well thanks for checking on me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just wondered, from people who've had the sleeve for a while, what are your must haves( Water bottle, bariatric container, trainers, etc..) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did get nausea meds but my surgeon says since I had scar tissue from my band before, my esophagus is swollen like my stomach so yeah, I'm miserable. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I wondered if there are any former banders who went through scaring from the bank and how long it took for them to feel better? How long before you could get down 4oz?I'm home now with prescriptions but I still feel like crap even though I feel a little better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
