  6. You can buy flavored tea at grocery store. The tea is in coffee isle . You can get mint, pepermint tea in decaf and many other nice herbal teas. I'm 5 months out i carry tictac in my purse. I got tired of the chalk taste of gasx . A heat pad also helps with gas, and walking. Boil some ginger it's the best for gas. It's what my nut suggest
  7. I'm 5 months out n I swallow. All my vitamins at once. I can't stand the taste of the chewables so everything I swallowed at once. Only got stuck in my throat once. But it went down in about a min
  8. You can drink mint tea. Or make Ginger tea. From fresh Ginger root. Cut up small lives then press in garlic press then boil. Then drink. U can add reg tea bag also for flavor. Helps with gas and digestive issues

  14. I wasn't over weight at 21 Only since I been diabetic 1998. I'm almost 5 mo post op. I'm near goal wt. I can eat anything I want. But bad carbs make me feel bad. So eating those chips or greasy foods may taste good for a few seconds. The bad feeling last much longer. I think long n head before I eat junk food. N less healthy. Also healthy meats and fruit veggies. Are more feeling and satisfying. U hungry fast after bad carbs. Sounds like your addicted to food. Try celebrate recovery. I went to a meeting cause my gf was singing. And I shared I had wls. Omg 3 other ladies also had. 2 ladies didn't kick their food issue. And gained all the wt back and they had RNY
