Do the fudge popsicles count as sugar free popsicles our only the ones that are the multicolored

@jdodson74 thank you disappointing I thought they would work 🥴 @NancyLF I love those better than the multicolored popsicles.

That makes sense so that may be more of my issues. I’m still learning what I can and cannot tolerate. Which seems to change daily 🙁😔

Hi Hun thank you for your reply.

yeah I’m propping myself up on a few pillows. No recliner as I’m in a hotel so I guess that doesn’t help either to get into a routine.

yes the idea after first 10 days are finished, are to start on purées, I’ve been told to drink something other then Water that’s sugar free so I need to look into that. I know a lot of people on here have jelly and ice lollies but my dietician has told me not to consume anything to cold or too hot.

I have even given a binder and I use it religiously when I’m walking, it’s causing my wounds to discharge but apparently that’s completely normal.

I am on a whole load of medication; from thyroid meds to Vitamin D, couple antibiotics and stomach protectors. And I’m gulping a lot of water when taking the tablets which leaves no room for other ‘liquids’ but I guess it’s a big learning challenge and trying to understand my body again.

Could be so many things but you are about the time to see strictures. ((hugs)) And don't let up till you get seen by your doc. Cuz it's not normal and I doubt seriously it's something you are doing wrong. You need to be seen hon!

Waiting on a callback to see what’s being said. I’m very cautious of my intake so that’s not the issue. If it were pieces of food/vitamins or whatever mixed in I’d say yes too much at once.

Revision bypass for GERD/Hernia 11/21/19 started: 240 (ate everything I could before pre-op liquids 😝) surgery date: 229 cw: 213 dropped 27lbs in 6 weeks.

My sleeve 11/22/2012 highest weight 364 surgery weight 350 in one year I lost150lbs and maintained weight was 216lbs (through 2018) then I was on Prednisone for all 2018 and I hovered around 235.

Top photo was sleeve 2012-2017. Bottom photo is 2019 pre-bypass and 12/21/19 (my bday) 4wks post-op after bypass. I haven’t been to the gym yet to start toning I’m now 6wks post-op.

I had bypass 11/21/19 and still having pain and discomfort. For the last week and a half I’m having issues with getting anything down (liquids, chewable vitamins, food etc.). Not sure why, but I finally called my doctor’s nurse today (left vm). I’m using gas-x in case its gas pains no relief, I chew chew chew/sip sip sip before swallowing but everything seems to get stuck in my chest area. When it comes back up it’s a ball of slime nothing else. It’s happens a couple times a day.

Anyone else having this issue?

I am a month sleeved today.
I am nauseous all of the time, ALL of the time.
I am supposed to move to purées but after one swallow of applesauce or something I am throwing up or get terrible pain.
My Dr said it was normal for the first month. I go back in a few weeks. I just am miserable most of the time.

Doctor said he saw absolutely no blockage on my CT and that my body is fighting inflammation not only from the extensive surgery, but also due to SLE and Sjogrens. So he’s starting me on a muscle relaxer for the spasms and the good ole MOM - Milk of Magnesia to see if that’ll help get my bowels moving along with Miralax. Otherwise he said keep walking and trying to get liquids in and see him in two weeks. Not exactly what I wanted to hear but definitely hoping it’ll work.

I concur, I don't think the original post was legitimate (I don't like being negative, but I think that may be the case). If it was, that's crazy. Who would go through all that, the pain, the prep, and then eat Soup and a bread stick. If I have too much shake I feel full and that pressure we all know and love (in the chest). I'm a few day away from pureed and, while I'm excited to have a scrambled egg, I'm also nervous. I think we all get that way ,because we want to be healed and not feel yuck. I can't imagine this being real, only because I would think it would cause the person extreme pain.

Thank you your answers make perfect since. I appreciate everyone taking the time to post on this I too didn’t realize this post would elicit such passionate responses.

I’m on my way now to see my doctor to see what he’s going to recommend. I’d rather not go the laxative way either but something has to help somewhere. The older remedies I know work in a traditional sense but I’d rather not introduce anything else into my system because I don’t know what it will do.

Unfortunately that means pain and wait and see but I’m hoping he’ll have more to say.

Hug’s. Please don’t stop posting.
It must be hard trying to decipher responses to posts. People won’t always know that you are dealing with autism when they respond to you. Once people get to know you, they will be more aware of your situation.
Great job on your first-time navigating restaurants. It gets easier over time. The cards are a great option for small portions. If a restaurant doesn’t offer small portions, take home a box for no cook smaller meals later. You are right, can’t take home food from a buffet.
Safe bet is to order a Protein. Ask to swap veggies for the carbs and sugar.
