I’m on soft phase. What are your favorite cereals ?

Thank you! This nausea is a killer!

I am a revision patient. I was sleeved on 1-30. My main reason for taking this medication is because I’m nauseous all day. My doc thought this may help me. I am only supposed to take mine 3x a day. He also gave me zofran.

I was advised not to start my vitamins until a week after surgery. I did however take all my regular medication fine with small sips of water, 1 at a time after surgery. I didn’t have an issue getting my Clear liquids in.

How long before you can drink? I know it’s 1 hour before food, is it the same for liquids?

Who was given this to take? My doc prescribed this to me because of my severe nausea. I have to dissolve it into water before taking and take it as a shot. Question: can I drink a chaser after? I’m assuming it’s going to taste horrible 🤢 I know I can’t eat, but what about drinking?

@calicotrixie Mine does the same! Although my stomach always feels a little unsettling. It’s nauseous on and off almost everyday. My dr. Said I’m still healing but doesn’t really have an answer. Everyone’s body responds differently in this journey. I’m just hoping this is an adjustment period since it’s still new, and it doesn’t last forever. I’m questioning my choice at this point😪 I also can barely eat much and dr said maybe nausea may be due to the lack of food. I’m barely getting 3 meals a day. I just can’t seem to stomach food!

Yes, I take Prilosec daily.

I am 23 days post op and on soft foods now per my doc. Ever since surgery, when I eat, my stomach never feels settled or “normal”. I wouldn’t say I’m nauseous, but it’s close to it. I can only eat very little. A few ounces at most so I’m not over eating. I’m waiting 30-1 hour before drinking fluids again. I thought eating soft foods might make my stomach feel “normal” again but it hasn’t. Is this just because my stomach is still healing you think? I force myself to eat because I know I need to, but my stomach feels the same before I eat and after I eat. It’s hard to explain. I can only say that it does not feel like a normal stomach feels if that makes sense🤣 Most people say they feel “normal” after 2-3 weeks. I always feel sickly, but not to the point of throw up. Any advice or similar experiences are greatly appreciated. I see my doc for follow up on Wednesday. Also, I am a revision patient. Lap Band to Sleeve.

I was banded in 2013. My starting weight was 226 and my lowest was 149. I have had nothing but problems with my band since the beginning. Back and forth to the doctor, a lot of discomfort and pain and just a rough quality of life the past few years with eating. For 2 years, I was a consistent 155, but could not seem to lose any more weight and the number this last year has crept up to 170! I want to get a revision, but I'm afraid I'm not "obese enough" to have it. Any help on this topic would be so appreciated. I'm terrified to have nothing and regain all my weight so i continue living like this....please help.

Hey guys Please tell me your opinions....I got my second fill 9 days ago. After liquids the first few days, food didn't go down that well, some better than others. Today at lunch I had a taco salad with no issues....felt great again. dinner I became stuck again like I have been with almost every meal. Had a small piece of chicken and got so many stuck moments until I said forget it..... Is this dangerous? I called my Dr and they said to try and let it loosen a bit more with extra liquids or come in for a unfill. It's hard, because some meals I feel fine and others it's the worst feeling. I have never thrown up due to this but I'm starting to get scared these stuck episodes might hurt my band or my stomach.....thoughts? Should I continue to give it more time.....I'm ok with that as it will eventually loosen. I just don't want to do any damage with these stuck episodes. PLEASE

Yes, I can get liquids and soup down....I have not pb or spit up at all. I eat salad with no issues, it's only everything else...lol. Last night I was awake with heartburn which I have never experienced.....ouch! I had split pea soup with ham for dinner which I've eaten a million times with no issues or heartburn....this gets so confusing I have no problem with waiting it out....I just don't want there to be anything wrong or something. I'm so paranoid about doing something wrong :-/

Hi guys, Can you help me out with your experiences? I got my second fill last Wed. It was a little too tight afterwards so they took some out. I was on liquids for a few days, bit when I started eating food again I noticed when I swallowed my food I had a pain in my chest, almost a burning sensation. I wouldn't say it was excruciating, but it hurts I'm thinking maybe I'm still swollen? I take small bites and I always chew my food to mush. This happened yesterday with a small slice of cheese....advice?

Hi all....i need your advice i got my first fill 3 weeks ago. It helped with portion control at the beginning, but i feel like my portions are getting bigger and im craving more between meals. Wondering if my doctor will administer another fill now or do I have to wait another 3 weeks? They said after my appointment to come back around 6 weeks for my next one. Im losing, but very slowly. Im fine with that, i just really want restriction improved so i dont gain ;( Thoughts?
