I drink Isopure. One bottle has 40 grams of fiber with zero carbs.

GOTCHA!! Thank you!!

Has anybody heard of the 5 Day Pouch Test? If so what is it and does it really work to break a stall?

Did you increase your calories to break the stall or did it break on it's own?

No!!!! You shouldn't be spitting up blood Love....Call your Doctor ASAP!!.....okay I now have read you are doing better.... I am so happy to hear this!!!!

Before surgery I had no problem with milk/dairy but after I cant tolerate it.

If you are not eating enough your body goes into starve mold and holds on to everything you eat

I was sleeved the same day as you and the EXACT reason you stalled is y I stalled, not eating enough.

I'm not saying this will work for you but it always has worked for me, try to increase your calories and see if you break the stall.

You will be just fine. I was a tad bit worried when they were rolling me into the operating room but by the time I got in there I didn't have time to worry because THEY KNOCKED ME RIGHT OUT!! You will wake up and not remember anything. You will have NO complications I am claiming it so it is done! Hey, we'll meet you over on the losing side ; )

I was up 8 pounds after surgery too. Dont worry its from all the liquid pumped in you. It will all leave and some.

LMAO!!!!!! You hit it on the NAIL!!!! OMG PRETZELS!!!! HOW DARE HER!!!! LOL!! just kiddin' Big deal she had a pretzel...LOL!! How did it taste girl? hahaha

Hey guys! I was sleeved on Oct 2nd and am down 39 pounds since surgery. I am have been back to work since 11/03 and am finding it being a challenge working around all those people and their eating. For the most part doing GREAT!

You look like you lost much more than you did!!! Great job!!!!

I have been on Nexium since I've been in the hospital and was instructed to take them everyday for 3 months. I thought everyone had to take them... Some form of anti-acid

Cool!! Thanks for the info!!

I have a question about water. After surgery I had a problem drinking liquids but over the course of one month I am able to drink water like normal. What i mean by that is I dont have to sip and I can drink and drink and drink. I can only do this with water no other liquid. Can I stretch my stomach like this? Am I messing up my sleeve in anyway by doing this? I dont drink with meals and I allow 30 mins before and after with no liquid.

Yea me too!! It's not for most of us that we cant get the weight off its because we cant keep it off. I agree with everyone here. This is a lifelong change we want! 2,3 years from now where are those size 6 people. I swear people need to learn to zip their lips!!!!

I used smooth move tea prior to surgery and it upset my stomach but all laxatives do so I don't take them. I drink water like it's going out of style instead.

I'm in!!! Current weight 227. I want to be 207 by Thanksgiving. That's 20 pounds. Yea, I know that's a LOT but why not aim high : )

It is normal. It will go away.
