Jcp has some theyre usually bright colors stripes n stuff they seem to help me with that bottom part too lol.i cant think of the name.but they have em folded on a table not hanging

Im 2 months out and tried two bites of tortilla today it went down really slow though but i enjoyed it.i have eaten spicy things also wih no problems

Day of surgery yes

Day of surgery i was 254.this morning im down to 208.my surgery was july 10th.

I think everyone is different.i was on straight liquids for two whole weeks after surgery

I have a bloody mary once a week.like a smaller glass.it goes good.i take my time drinking it.im 2 months out.so far thats all i can handle right now is one lol.

I was sleeved on july 10.down 42 pounds,2 shirt sizes and one pant size.this seems slow to me..compared to what everyone else has lost :-\

And i did intend for this post to be for people who are a year out.thanks

The people that say "I eat whatever I want' date=' just in smaller portions" are going to be the people that struggle to maintain. Yes, the sleeve limits proportions, but you have to adopt healthy eating habits to make it stick. Like the first response, you can't expect to eat all the same junk and lose the weight and keep it off.

As for eating anything, I am almost 2 years post op, and I can eat anything. Do I?? Nope. Not saying that I NEVER have ice cream, chocolate, or [insert treat/unhealthy for here'], but I eat it occasionally and in moderation. And I know my trigger foods and I do not keep them in my house. I have never counted anything, have never went low carb, and have never followed a restrictive diet. I changed my eating habits, eat a lot more veggies, stick to high Protein meals, cut out the white stuff, and still basically follow post-op guidelines. So far I have been maintaining fairly easily on a diet that I can live with for a lifetime.

Like others have said, the sleeve is not a magic cure, just like a bypass is not a magic cure. It is a chance to do better with lives, a second chance at a healthy, normal existence.

That sounds good to me

I just wondered cause i am 7 werks out and one day i do wanna have something lk ice cream ect.

if you don't expand your stomach' date=' some people may be able to eat anything... but why do you want to become a human garbage disposal?.. i think those people sorta missed the point of weight loss surgery... your stomach can stretch back out & you CAN regain your weight... dunno why anyone would want to risk it... most people here, from what i've seen, view the sleeve as a tool to help you lose the weight, but you have to eat right, eat healthy and exercise... there is no magic pill that will zap 100lb off of you & allow you to stuff your face with burgers, fries, milkshakes, ice cream, Cookies, candy, cake, pie, soda pop, chips, grease, sugar, bread and cheese. ain't gonna happen. ever. even with the sleeve or gastric bypass or any other thing that hacks your guts up & rearranges your intestines or whatever... you just HAVE to decide that you're going to change your lifestyle and the sleeve is a tool to help you successfully make that change. that's as simple as it gets.

i just don't get how you can go through a surgery where some person rips the majority of your stomach out & you lose a bunch of weight & then go right back to what you were doing... what the hell is the point in that?.. seriously. you want a year or two or three of being skinny, then just pack the pounds back on & get right back to where you are now?... i'm sorry, but that's just 1.) insane, and 2.) STUPID. totally & utterly STUPID. may as well just stay where you are and not put yourself through the hassle, pain & expense of surgery.. until you decide you have to change your ways, it's just a waste of time & a fantasy, in my opinion...[/quote']

Ya i didnt think that was fully true either lol.but i just heard from a couple of people saying they eat whatever they want.i doubt its really anything lk greasy food ect.

Is there anyone on here who is at least one year post op and eats anything???i have been told by several people that they eat anything (no diet,low carb,ect) and have lost 100 within the year.id like some feed back cause it sounds too good to be true.

Bloody mary.i was also a beer drinker

I had a bloody mary 6 weeks out.it took me almost two hours to drink it

Guess i gotta tough it out then and pray it will go away one day soon :-)

When my reflux is bad I will take meds twice a day' date=' morning and evening, close to bed time. Thankfully I have not had to do that in a couple of weeks. My doctor said it should get better as time goes on. Because every patient is different he does not like to give exact time frames.[/quote']

How far out are you?im.already gonna be 7 weeks.ya that is true everyone is different also

Im gonna talk to my doc about it and see what else i can do.i hate this feeling :-\

Im just shy of 3 mos and I will say my acid reflux is getting better.My dr had me on meds twice a day and I was taking that plus tums. Now I just take one at night before I go to sleep and no more tums. My dr also suggested that I dont sleep flat in the beginning weeks and that helped too.

Which med are you on?i eat too many tums lol but i take my med in the morning.is it better to take at night
