Someone told me that it might be acid reflux...? I'm not on a PPI anymore... so maybe?? Just ate a cracker and it feels a bit like heartburn/reflux.... the doc might be the way to go... ugh...

So, about a week ago I posted something about being able to eat lots of salad and larger portions ...but then suddenly...for the past 4-5 days, I haven't been able to eat ANYTHING without sliming, spitting up, regurgitating whatever I eat for 30 min- 1 hour afterwards! Even one bite of anything with texture feels 'stuck' and eventually comes back up.....What do I do....? go back to the fluids stage? Addition: I was sleeved May 15 (approx 9 weeks ago??)

Yeah, it was easier when I was very strict for the pre op and post op diets... now I feel like its a free-for-all and I'm going back to my old ways... maybe I should try every other day fasting or something just for discipline....some way to get back on track....

I'm about 8 wks post op and have been doing really good... I think? I'm down 42lbs since day 1 preop, but have stalled and gained a few pounds back... I feel like I'm able to eat way more/bigger portions already... not intentionally, but lunch today I had a (what I think was a BIG) salad, and yesterday I ate two large lettuce wraps stuffed with chicken, etc.... I'm worried if I'm eating too much and that's what's leading to my weight gain....?? Should I still be trying to stick to 600-800 cals a day? I am desperate to reach my goal... Please help!!

I've told my partner and my parents. That's it. I told everyone else I was on vacation, and went back to work a week and a half later. If anyone asks about the liquid diet I've said I'm on a liver cleanse. It's not that far from the truth... haha...

I was gonna stay away from 'breadstick' remark... haha... but in the interest of post op diet...cant help but wonder... exactly how many grams of Protein do you get from licking a 'breadstick'?? I'm stalled at the 3,4 week mark as well. I've always managed to lose 2 lbs a week when I've dieted (a million times before). I'm in ketosis, I'm still on full fluids... around 500 cals a day... and nothin. It's weird. I upped my cals and gained. I've exercised, nothing. It is irritating, for sure!!

Why did you choose not to go through WLF??

I was scared and had a lot of second thoughts prior to surgery. I prepared myself for the worst in my mind and the first few days were pretty rough, but not impossible. I feel very fortunate, but honestly...for me the experience has not been that big of a deal. Very little pain post op, no real hunger, etc. I'm on week 4 of post op liquid diet... which is long, but it's not hard. I did have a LOT of nausea and vomiting the first few days after surgery but the worst part of this experience so far has actually been the anxiety and fear prior to surgery. There are risks, but not as many as some websites report. Take a deep breath, do your research, mentally prepare, choose a great surgeon and embrace the change. You can do this!!

May 15 HW: 208 Pre op start: 174 SW: 164 CW: 144 (no loss for a week...) 62 inches (5'1"???)

well... my hair is very thin and fell out a LOT after my last surgery (not related to sleeve) so I started taking it a month prior to surgery. I haven't noticed any difference EXCEPT..... my eye brows are thicker and I'm getting hairs on my chin and moustache. Thinking about stopping it... but then... I've never had a beard before... so might just see what it's like!

2 weeks high protien, low carb. Then VERY strict- One week full fluids, one week clear fluids prior to surgery. It sucked. BUT, it helped prepare for the 4 weeks of liquid post op.

I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow and felt fine so went for a run tonight... I felt good and did almost 5km... slow pace... and I walked a few times. BUTTT.... feeling pretty gross now. dizzy and kinda nauseous. Ugghhhh. I'm still on full fluids stage ...so I don't know if I'm just nutrition/ electrolyte crashing or if it was just too soon. drinking water, powerade and peppermint tea... but probably won't try a workout again for a few days.

Yep! and 4 weeks liquid post op. the first 4 days were BRUTAL, but after that, its ok. you can do it!!

I hope that the sleeve is the sollution to your battle, and that it works, but it might be a good idea to get some metabolic testing done as well. No lecture, just a suggestion.

Yummmmm.... I can't wait for real food....
