Mine were always regular...now haven't had one yet

3 tyson chicken niggets, one piece of broccli. Was so full, I almost puked. Ugh.

Carbonation expands naturally and causes bloat...think about how it'd affect your pouch!

It will stretch your pouch. Do nottttt do it.

What are some signs and symptoms you look for to indicate you've had enough? I notice I'll do one big hiccup, and that's usually a signal for me lol. Any other odd signs?

Yeah, def both....ounces, cups, whatever works for you

20 mins on elliptical! It was my first day 4 weeks out being cleared for exercise

Me too! I was on Clear liquids only 1 week post op then changed to full liquids for 2nd week post op, then to pureed for a week, now on to soft solid foods I am allowed to introduce whole grain now, but would rather steer clear from breads the first 6 months, if not forever.

I just use measuring cups to keep track of ounces

I agree. We need to remember where we came from. Take a step back and analyze your life up hntil the point of surgery and beyond. Again, REMEMBER where you came from...with this, you'll find empathy.

4 tyson chicken nuggets...def had too much lol. That pressure feeling hurts!

Many of us struggled with weight all our lives. Many of us have failed numerous diets numerous times. We've finally broke down and got the surgery and then see the scale not budge. We automatically think to ourselves "oh my god, am I going to fail at this too?" And then we panic and feel defeated. It's a natural instinctive feeling for those who have struggled through the years. We start to think irrationally and wonder if we'll ever succeed. This is why we upset ourselves with stalls.

I had half a homemade meatball with a dot of sauce

Protein is easy for me, but I'm BAD with water Like really bad.

I can eat very soft cooked lean beef but chicken is VERY hard for me

Just curious. I am 3 weeks out...I've tried chicken, soft lean beef in chili, eggs, refried beans, soups, potatos. I stick to the idea of no higher than 6-7 grams of sugar and no more than 10 grams of fat, if that. If I WAS going to have the dumping syndrome...would I know it by now?? I tolerate everything I've tried perfectly.

A hotdog may be ok...no bread, but hotdog. Low carb, no sugar, high protein..may as well

Why is whey bad for us?

A scrambled egg with fresh mozzerella cheese Yum! And a sugar-free icepop for a snack

Mine aren't there yet hahaha soon I hope!
