I was in opti fast for 3 months. There is actually a few people on eBay that sells them wayyyy cheaper. Just make sure they check the expiration date.

Your insurance company only covers half??

Omg. Such a good question. I only changed clothes when I went home. I don't think I used anything I brought, the hospital suppled toothbrush, paste, soap, gown. You will need Chapstick!! I never got a chance to read - kindle did not get used.

Your too close. You can do it!!

I did ok with salmon roll but did not eat rice. Click here for info of sushi without rice http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-sashimi-info/

I don't think that has any sugar in it??? Is it possible you ate it too fast?

Everytime I brush, about 5 mins later I feel like I'm going to vomit. Yyyyyyyyy? I think I might have to use mouthwash only. I have a electronic toothbrush could that be the reason? I do not see how, but I'm looking for opinions and advise. I think it might be the toothpaste, so which one does not make you sick?

Why didn't you try sugar free cookies?

What is a good sauce we can eat with salmon that will keep it moist and not dry.

Pizza!!! And Garlic bread. That's a easy one.

What is it?

My nut told me to stay under 5v of sugar. I can tolerate a little apple juice even though it is well over.

Did that hurt? Which ones was the most painful?

Hi Susie, What an amazing story. I can't believe you suffered so long with the band. I really hope you find this to be a relief.

I eat watermelon everyday!! My nut said any fruit should be ok except pineapple. I have not tried any bread and I can't tolerate eggs.

This is common I've head. In my support group in Atlanta at least 3 other women have to get therapy for it. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/news/health/after-weight-loss-surgery-some-find-new-addictions-442508/

You may want to try Gerber Graduates Puffs it's a great alternative to chips and crackers. http://www.gerber.com/AllStages/products/snacks/puffs_apple_cinnamon.aspx

Welcome to the group!!

I use Splenda, but I try to use half of what I did before the surgery. No dumping from it. If you do, you can try trivia. Splenda is coming out with a new form of sugar that is suppose to be much better for you.

Before I have dumping I have heavy pressure in my stomach and feel very sick. Then I just curl up and lay down until it comes out.

Oh this is awful. I'm glad you have such a wonderful boyfriend helping you through this. I've had a uti since surgery which they have treated 3 times and I have to go get checked out tomorrow. I'm scared my kidneys have been effected.

I am post opp. 7 weeks. I promised myself I would wait 6 months before I try to bite a pizza and only after I've walk at least 3 miles. I'm trying to make sure if I eat anything like that I can handle burning it off. I'm not at the point yet, so I don't think about it.
