good to know!

I do this when I eat too fast or eat too much

I too have the gurgling. It is more w/ certain types of foods too

sounds delish!

what's PPI?

will I be able to eat normal bites again, or will we all have to eat eraser sized bites our whole lives??

totally forgot about that ~ Thanks!

is it safe for us to fly at 4wks out?

how long did everyone have to wait until eating mushies? My dr. says two wks. Just wondering if anyone ate mushies earlier. Thanks!

they have too much sugar and carbs per my Nut. They will cause a stall in your weight loss.

So my Dr. told me today that I need to come in and get some fluids in me. I'm only able to drink 36-48oz of fluid/day. I feel weak and can't get ready in the mornings. Protein shakes don't taste very good after I've finished only half of it. Has this happened to anyone?

CONGRATS! I can't wait to get rid of my cpap machine. It should be soon since it was mild for me as well. I keep asking my husband if I snored the night before just to get an idea. What are you going to do with your cpap machine?

My dr's office finally called back and she said that i need to have more Protein. so I'm drinking a Protein shake now and I feel like I have more energy. She said that I have to drink 2 Protein drinks per day that count as my Fluid intake. I am one week postop...

Hello everyone, I had a scare this morning while in the shower getting ready for my 1st day at work since surgery. I started feeling really dizzy and almost fainted/blacked out! My face was ghost white and I was really really weak. I called my dr's office, but waiting for them to call me back. Has this happened to anyone and what I can do to prevent this??? I was soo scared.

Thanks everyone! I love this board! :wub:

do u think it's because you're on mushies?

just seems so surreal! I had to weight myself twice and even have my husband come in and see it too! lol

I believe so. I would google it. Are you having a protein w/ it like chicken?

Hi, Tomorrow I am 1 wk post op and I've lost 14lbs already! Is that too much, or does everyone lose this much from Water weight. Also, did your weight loss slow down once you go to mushies? Thanks in advance!

I bet you're dehydrated. Are you drinking the amt of water they tell us to drink each day?

Jerry, I would stay away from dairy. It's not good for your new sleeve. Try lukewarm, warm, or ice cold water to see if that helps. I also tried standing while I drank and I didn't feel the pain. My pain is a lot better now. Just had to give it some time. Junior, I feel the air bubbles too, I feel like an aquarium!

thanks, ladies. it helps that i'm not the only one. I tried both warm and cold drinks, but get the same result. Today is better than yesterday though. Hopefully it will go away in the next few days. I'm also taking small sips, not big gulps. Thanks again!

hi, I'm two days post op and everytime I drink something, cold or warm, it feels weird and kind of like hearburn, but not in my throat. It comes from my stomach when it reaches my pouch. Anyone else experiencing this and why does this happen? Thanks for your help in advance.

I thought that mashed potatoes was a huge NONO b/c of the carbs. ???

I liked the chick fil a grilled chicken bites and their grilled ck salads were yummy too, minus the croutons, of course.
