Cold water always hurt my pouch! I drank room temperature water. I can drink cold water now. Although sometimes it will still feel a lttile weird. I'm 9 months out!

yes, water makes my stomach hurt! If it is cold it seems worse. My Doc said it would get better. I hope so.

I have had very little hair loss so far but I have noticed some strands starting to fall out. I will be 3 months out on July 3rd. My problem is my skin is peeling. I looked up on line and it is caused by dehydration and vitamin deficiency. (oh no!) Going to call my Doc. tomorrow. Not very good with my protein. I HAVE to get better. Not enough fluids either. Liquid makes my pouch hurt. Anyone else have this problem?

WLS is just a tool! After you have the surgery you are not hungry and you sure can't eat very much at all. You have 1year to practice good eating habits and lose a ton of weight. Ultimately it is up to you. I had surgery on April 3rd and as of today I have lost 60 pounds. I have 38 more to go. Being thin and losing weight feels better than over eating to me.

I took a bite and swallowed it. It did ok! One bite was my limit! I try all sorts of things except for sweets. No sugar for me!

I have only thrown up one time in 10 weeks. But I really have felt sick to my stomach all day!

I just ate my dinner way too fast! Why do I do that? I'm praying it stays down! I hate throwing up!

did you eat too much or too fast?

What kind of protein are you drinking?

Me too...but I am scared to eat anything with sugar.

What did you eat?

I am still at 1oz of protein. I am 8wks out and my nut. told me today if you throw up that you have either eaten too much or too fast! I don't know but I have only thrown up once when I ate 1 shrimp too many!

I weigh every morning but not during the day. I really want to weigh once a week but I find myself on the scale every morning.

I personally do not think any of the sugar substitutes are good for you!

Your protein shakes count has your liquid too. Yes popsicles, broth and jello count as liquids.

I ate soft foods the third day after surgery and continued for 6 weeks.

I have been anemic for the couple of years. I got an iron infusion about a year ago and so far it has kept my iron and blood count up. I am 8weeks post op and still doing good with my iron. Hope this helps. Everyone is different. Take the advice of your Doctor.

I can't remember but under $10 for a large bottle

Is the ice cream no sugar added or regular?

My Nut. told me to get Flinestone complete vitamins 2x a day.

I was never on liquids after day two in the hospital. On day three they served my chicken salad and a canned pear. I have done fine on food. Did not have to do purred at all. It is a good idea to listen and follow your surgeons instructions though.

Mine was almost 3 weeks late!

I heard it causes ulcers

I can have decaf
