I started to vomit again, and I'm 8 weeks out. I've been eating small portions and all Protein. It was so bad I had to take off from work today. After my surgery , I was vomiting until 5 weeks out. Then no problems. Just very frustrating ...

Today I made fantastic chicken on the grill but not sure of calorie count. I mixed 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I brushed it on the chicken and let it cook. It was so moist and tasty. I was so upset I couldn't eat more than 3 bites bc it was that good.

Yes, it's happening to me. Never had acne in my life ... Even as a teenager. Very frustrating

I hit ONE-derland today !!! I'm exciting and love rockin the sleeve

I'm 6 weeks out and just started getting hives. This is the second day in a row. This never happened before. Anyone else experience this?

I went to the dr. Yesterday for my 6 week check up. I lost 30 lbs since the day of surgery. Major stall last week Anyway, I was talking to the receptionist. She told me I looked great. My skin was clear hair looked nice etc. Joking around I said " oh I thought I would have lost more ." And she said " because you are so small, it will take you two years to lose your weight. " Two years??? Is that what everyone experiences? I'm by no means small. I started at 231.

I had the same problem. I switched shakes. Was using the Premier Shakes. They seemed too heavy. I switched to Lean shake from GNC. Big difference. Good luck !

I'm going through the same lost 35 in 6 weeks. It's frustrating but your body is adjusting.

Back to ice pops and jello. Can't keep anything down and hard time at work. 5 weeks Tuesday.

I'm a teacher, and returned to work Tuesday which was a half day and yesterday was a half day. Today was the first day full day. I felt that I had a difficult time today. I did pack my food for the day but when I sat down to eat , I couldn't eat much and felt sick. As I was circulating , I thought I would pass out. So I would sit. I even went to my go to drink- Gatorade, and that made me feel worse. I could hardly drink or eat today and exhausted. I'm only a month out from surgery. Hope it gets better from here...

I think I need to start eating alone for the next few weeks. Just concentrate on slowing down and chewing.

Since the surgery, I noticed what my biggest problem was/ is with food... I eat too fast. I noticed I tend to do it more around my kids. I have my sister as support and today she was keeping an eye on me and was saying, "slow down , chew". Even though I didn't eat a big amount , the fast eating is what is causing me discomfort. I'm just happy I'm more aware now.

Thank you for sharing !!!

Thank you for all the great replies!!!

I get full really quick... But think because I feel sick.

I'm eleven days post - op and having all of these insane cravings. Especially , for foods I can't have at this stage or maybe ever .like chorizo with sour cream. I'm still in the liquid stage and know this is more a head game. What do I do to stop it?

I've lost 13lbs so far. I'm pretty happy. Just weak from being on the clear liquids. Not sure if I should change to Full liquids tomorrow or Thursday. How are you doing so far?

I was sleeved last Tuesday and know how you feel. You will be fine. There's little pain .... Which is expected. If you have any questions , feel free to ask:) Good Luck!!!
