Thanks everyone!!!

I am 2 weeks post op and have hit a stall! Scale the same for four days. I've heard increase calories, decrease calories, exercise, what has worked for you?! Looking forward to your responses!

Try tums they help me!

Hi. I've lost 16 pounds since surgery. So I'm doing ok. When I stall a little bit I find I need to get more fluids. I think January I'll feel far enough removed to regain a normal life! Here are my stats: 236 first appt 226 day of surgery August 16 211 current weight 5'8"

Hi all! I must say I'm doing pretty well. Down to two Tylenol every other day. Stomach is still swollen. No more gas. I can sleep on my tummy. Just missing a little fat like a piece of meat! I can't wait until January! Hope everyone else is doing as amazing as I am!!

Yes. I know I shouldn't have it. I'll grab a sugar free Popsicle. I am not on puréed until 9/7. I'm just wanting something different.

10 days post op?? Advice please

Hi. I use a pair of spanx that look like a tank top. I sleep in and wear it everywhere. You can buy them. I bought a belly binder it was too small.

Hi ladies. Congrats. I'm notice further along than you I am 10 days post op. I have no more gas or bloating. I find a compression wrap helps on the tummy. I am tired I am off pain meds just on Tylenol and surprised how well it works! Haven't needed the zofran in days. I use tums now because I get really violent ttummy rumbles at the end of the night. I am taking a ppi. You'll a do great I can't wait until I'm five months out! Day 1 235 Day of surgery 226 Day 10 post op 215.3

Has been more difficult than I thought it would be. I was so excited to have cream Soups and some version of food! It's been difficult my sleeve is starting to to speak to me! Very little gives me what im guessing is now full. I'm only starting with 1/3-1/2 cup. Thanks!

I cut it with water. But I actually am one of the rare ones that like it! Alpine punch is my fav!

I still like the Isopure ready to drink bottles I mix it with water. The bottle has 40g of protein and it's the high quality good stuff the whey isolate protein. That will get you halfway through your protein in one day! I think it taste better than G2!

Hi. I'll be 1 week out on Thursday and plan to use almond milk with my protein shakes. My nut only advice against because reg milk has higher Protien.

Can I ask...did you have reflux prior to surgery? I have maybe had heartburn twice in my life but as a precaution I am on a ppi for two months. I take it out of the capsule and take it at the same time every. Morning!

Hi. I'm 4-5 days out too! I can only have clears until day 7 post op appointment. I would kill for a Protein shake! If you are using a straw try with out and maybe go even slower if you can! You can do it!! How's your pain??
