I'm supposed to avoid mashed potatoes forever , according to my NUT. I have tried them though. A few spoonfuls is all I can do or my tummy starts to.cramp. I am 9 months post op.

My surgery was September 17, 2013. This was my first time throwing up. I'm so scared. I am afraid to eat or drink now. I drink some of an orange cream shake from Arbys and it made me sick.

I'm seven months out. I'm having the same problem. I can eat two tacos as well, if they are hard shell. I can only eat about 1 1/2 if they are soft tacos. I lost so much weight the first five months but now I only lose 2 or 3 pounds a month. It's awful. I feel like I can eat way more than I should be able to. I get hungry about every 3 hours. It's making me miserable. I've lost about 85 pounds since surgery and still have about 100 to go. Really dont think I'm going to get there.

So awesome! Congrats! I've been buying clothes at Goodwill as well. I got a pair of jeans from Old Navy for $3. In the six months since my surgery, I've went from a 26 to an 18. You will just start feeling better and better the more you go down!

I've done this a few times too since surgery. I take Prilosec everyday. It always happens if I lay down too soon after I eat or drink. I have to wait a while before lay down or I'm up taking Tums.

Mine used a 40.

Thanks everyone! I'm really excited! Definitely makes staying on track a little easier now!

Thanks guys! I was in shock! I weighed last week and was 302.8 so I was just so excited to see that this afternoon!

That's so awesome! Congrats!

Please excuse my jacked up toenail polish and fat feet but I had to share! I'm officially down 85.1 pounds and for the first time since I was 17 (which was 13 years ago!!!) I am UNDER 300 pounds!!! I can't believe it!!!!! [ATTACH]42619[/ATTACH]

I'm almost 6 months out and I can't eat bread. I keep trying, but it always makes me very uncomfortable. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat it. I can eat crackers though.

Im about 5 months out and I can eat a lot more than I expected to be able to. I can eat probably 6-8 oz of food. Maybe a little more.

I drank the protein shots the first few weeks after surgery. The shakes were not agreeing with me and the shots were a lot easier to choke down for a while. My NUT said they were fine to use.

I'm 4 months out and stalled. Its driving me nuts.

My doctor checked protein levels, vitamin d, b vitamins...can't remember everything else. There was a lot of stuff checked on my sheet.
