Yes, from my experience, I had them quite a bit the first 3 months... Then they began tapering off. By 6 months, they were gone. Sent from my SM-S908U using BariatricPal mobile app

They are averages and unfortunately like the rny, band, vsg... Etc. stalls are common for all of us. It depends on so many factors, like some people are not committed and will live on slider foods and their are others who follow their plan, and some in between who are able to find a good balance. From my understanding, it is your starting weight from your most recent surgery that you go by for calculations (not your sleeve surgery). For me, since my revision to RNY (for gerd) in 8/21, it's been faster weight loss. I weigh less than at my lowest with the sleeve and am still losing despite hitting initial goal awhile ago. I find logging my calories, carbs and protein extremely helpful to look for patterns to adjust, to help awareness, especially during emotionally difficult times.

My plan has had carbs from Pre-op to now. Most of my carbs come from 2-5 servings a fruit a day. I am not a pasta person (unless it Siamin soup 😍) nor am I a bread person, so I usually eat rice and wholesome grains from crackers.

I had a revision from VSG to RNY in August. I remember in my 4th month I started feeling full faster too. Some have said that it was because we are completely healed at the point. I'm almost at 8 months, and I still am averaging about 750 to 800 cal per day. Similar to your dietician, my surgeon told me months ago to eat at least 900. That is challenging for me mentally and physically at the moment even though I'm passed my goal. There are a lot of people here that stay around 800 cal until goal but I'm glad you posted this so we can see other people's opinions.

Hugs. Treat yourself as you would a close friend. What would you tell them in a difficult time in their life? I am so sorry for your loss. I loss someone dear to me a few years back. It hurts so much. We tend to fall back on old addictions for comfort. Sent from my SM-S908U using BariatricPal mobile app

Exactly what you said for me Same same. I figure why introduce anymore stress than necessary. I knew I couldn't do it without a tool like surgery. People told me I was fat all my life. Something I knew far too well as I had to live like that for most of my adult life... Sent from my SM-S908U using BariatricPal mobile app

For me, it went away. I had the foamies quite a bit the first 3 months and then it became only once and awhile after that. After the 6 month mark, it has completely stopped. Sent from my SM-S908U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yup mine didn't start falling out till the 6 month mark. My brush is full of hair this morning, going on 8 months. No bald spots but it is thinning for now. I also have met my protein and vitamins. I sure hope it grows back after I up my calories on maintenance... Sent from my SM-S908U using BariatricPal mobile app

Revision VSG to RNY due to Gerd. From the beginning of the revision process, I've lost 78 lbs in 7 months, and it is much faster & easier than before revision. I'm currently losing steadily 6.5 to 9 lbs a month. I've passed goal and slowly trying to work up to maintenance calories.

According to my bariatric team, any drink will count towards you 64 oz of water. If one logs, you have to count the calories/carb/protein/fat of the fruit & other things you add.

I had a revision to full RNY (not the mini bypass since it wasn't covered by my insurance), and it feels the same but no Gerd. Main difference for me is a continuing low appetite even in the 7th month, double the rate of weight loss due to easy satiety off a couple ounces of food.

I had the sleeve many years ago and it took awhile, but I developed severe Gerd and esophagitis. In August of last year, I had to get a revision to bypass, and I haven't had any Gerd symptoms so far. So at this point (entering my 8 month post-op), it has really, really helped me sleep better, feel better.

I had a revision due to gerd and during the liquid and puree phase, I did not feel any restriction. Once I entered solid foods, I absolutely did and still do. I can not eat more than 2 ounces of protein at a time and a little veggies/fruit, and it keeps me full for about 3-4 hours. I am a little over 6 months. I'm close to goal and the weight loss has been steady. It is a definite learning curve though. My "I'm satisfied" flag does not come up till 30 to 40 min later so I've learned to always measure my food beforehand to avoid anything uncomfortable later and to chew a lot.

Throughout my sleeve, I used PatchMD and blood tests were always good. I now use the PatchAID multi plus since PatchMD changed their amount on a couple of the vitamins. Because I wasn't sure how the PatchAID worked, I was a little nervous but two weeks ago, I received my 6 month comprehensive blood test results (revision VSG to RNY), and everything was in range. The iron, ferritin, calcium, Vit D, A, E, Zinc, Magnesium... Etc. were all in center range. If any were low, I was planning to go to chewables but since everything checked out ok again, I'll probably still continue the patches since they are convenient. Right now my average calories is 715 calories per day and I know it is hard to eat nutritionally sound on <800 calorie diet so I think the patches have helped.

I did a typo in that post. The name of the seasoning is Tajin. It is a "blend of mild chili peppers, lime, and salt". It is really yummy on vegetables, fruit, fish, cottage cheese... Practically everything. Sent from my SM-N986U using BariatricPal mobile app

I asked my surgeon and he said absolutely not. "Of all rules, the first few months are critical to follow the rules for safety reasons." Sent from my SM-N986U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am allowed to eat whatever I can tolerate. I'm at 6 months and just had five guys with my family. I had 1/3 of their small protein burger and 3 fries (five guys uses 100% peanut oil which is a heart healthy oil). I know I fill up fast so as always I cut my food in sections (about 112g section for my meal) and set the rest aside for leftovers or to share with someone else.

I was told that if I can't drink freely to come see my surgeon asap as it might be a stricture. Sent from my SM-N986U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had a very easy recovery. I had a slight sore throat (lasted about 3 days) and a bit groggy when I woke up (slept through it after they woke me up), both due to the anesthesia. I went home the following morning and slept through day two, comfortably. My stomach felt like I did a bunch of sit-ups but I didn't have gas pains because I chewed mini Mylanta gas tabs. No nausea, was able to drink water with no problem. By day 3, I was already working as usual from my desk at home. Good luck!

6 months post-op and I have only thrown up once or twice and that was in the early months. I ate something disagreeable at the time but can easily tolerate it now. It's uncommon to constantly throw up as other's have said in this thread. I was scared too cause of all the things I read on the net before my surgery. Now, after an easy recovery, and a great experience so far, I wish I did it years ago.

If you don't mind sharing, how many calories are you eating now vs two months ago when you were losing? I'm an avid tracker for years and can see when, why and how my weight changed from month to month.

I'm so sorry for your great loss. I lost a pet a couple of years ago, and I still cry about it. I miss her so much. Hugs.

I am at 6 months, and I can tolerate any type of food without any issues. I couldn't tolerate fruit skin the first few months, not even a tiny little bit. I would get a stuck feeling and get a ton of saliva building up (aka foamies.) Up to now if I do not chew well enough of anything solid, I get the foamies. That is the extent of it for me.

I would probably change therapists. That would irk me too. When I was younger, I had an opinionated therapist, and it affected my life in a negative way. They need to look at your situation without their own opinions/biases and above all, never ever tell you how to live your life but give you the tools to succeed. My surgeon doesn't tell me a goal weight. He just monitors my health and tells me to eat more .. Etc. and gives me a target for calorie level... Etc. So I just picked a general healthy weight for my goal and see how things go month to month Sent from my SM-N986U using BariatricPal mobile app
