Peppermint tea work get for me when that happen to me... Hope you feel better

I feel you I went from a 40DD up a 34C maybe B but I refuse to buy a B all my bras now are a push up bra :-(

Jeez. What are you eating cause I'm 6 weeks out and barely get in my minimum of 60. I am trying to only eat 3 times a day cause that's what my doc said to do.

I'm a year out now , I still stay away from red meat because the heavy feeling it gives my stomach.... But when I was six weeks I eat tilapia for lunch and dinner for Protein and a Protein Drink in between

This is the Protein Drink

Just keep in mind the first three months are the roughest of them all.... It will get better over time... I'm a year out and I still have some rough days... Try using 2oz bathroom cups helps with the Water and Protein intake ..... Helps put your mind at ease with a smaller cup

Highest weight 222 current weight 148

Surgery date was July 10,2012

I ate some Tomato Soup around lunchtime and I've been miserable ever since. It took me well over an hour but I ate about 1/2 cup. Have I done something I shouldn't have?? I had surgery Tuesday.

Tomato Soup is to heavy, stick to the Clear liquids for about 3 weeks.... The broth from wonton soup is great to get you thru the next couple of weeks .... Hope you feel better

I'm having problems getting all my Water and Protein it's day 4 for me after my surgery and only my second night home but I am finding it very hard to take in all my Protein and Water. I am peeing very little and it's super dark so I'm guessing dehydrated. Any tips??? Thanks.

Use 2oz cups it makes it a lot easier to get your liquids down ... It took me like 2 weeks before I was able to get the 80grams of protein a day... Hang in there it gets easier the 1st 3 months are rough I'm not going to lie to you

I'm 3 days out and drinking ice Water hurts going down. Why does that happen? Its so hot here in Chicago and in my house' date=' I'm trying to cool off with a tall cool glass of ice Water but it hurts going down.[/quote']

I had surgery a year ago and I still can't drink ice cold water ... It gets better over time

Is it possible your due for your monthly ?

Hang in there it will fall off....

Had most of a shake this morning for breakfast' date=' ended up dumping the rest out because it was making my stomach nauseous and rumbly. For lunch I had some Protein spaghetti with meat sauce. Now again I feel nauseous and rumbly. Anyone to through this? This is the first time it's happened for me that I can think of.[/quote']

I yeah I been there the only Protein I was able to drink the first months was isupure and I pour it in 2 oz cups it's easy to drink that way every 10 mins a 2 oz shot of protein ..... (Isupure is clear and not that thick)

Almost one year out. Maintaining at 220. Heaviest was over 420.

You look amazing .....

Has Anyone had complications after surgery? I am 5days post op and can not keep anything down to save my life. I threw up twice today and just feel weak' date=' my nurse said I might have to go back to the hospital to get rehydrated. Has anyone experience anything like this?

My surgery is this Monday the 22nd I'm going from lap band to gastric bypass' date=' when I had to do my liquid diet before the lap band I did awesome but this time the last three days I broke down and ate! Anyone else having trouble sticking to the diet? now I'm worried my liver hasn't shrunk enough before monday? Feeling like a failure!! :/[/quote']

You ain't fail every doctor is different .... My doctor allowed me to have one meal a day under 500 calories... Which was hard cause I was on vacation the two weeks before my surgery .... Just make sure you drink plenty of Water ..... Good luck and God Bless you during your journey

Looking for someone to give me guidance' date=' exchange cell numbers to text and be able to have quick access when needed. My surgery is schedule for the 23 and it all seems so unreal... begin this journey February 5 and everything happens so fast. I had an out of pocket expense of almost 1800 that I managed to pay. Now I need a grocery list to go and get so that even I come home I'm prepared. Somebody please help. I refuse to fail[/quote']

sugar free Popsicle

bottles of Water

2oz cups

sugar free Jello

Crystal light

Isopure Protein drink

Any Clear liquids sugar and decaffeinated.

That's all I use the first 3 weeks after my surgery and I did just fine.... Best wishes and good luck you will be fine

I've lost major weight in my life' date=' over 100 - 175 lbs on three diff ocassions. Mostly with Atkins. Now that I've finally had the bypass, I recently lost 52 with 35 to go. That will bring me to 165. When I went to plastic surgeon at weight of 170 three years ago she said I had 35 lbs in excess skin alone. I know this will inevitably be the same situation (I already see it in the arms and stomach). My skin will never stretch or tone back to normal so surgery is the only answer for me.[/quote']

I would talk to a personal trainer first to see if the can help ... Because honestly a plastic surgeon will tell you anything to make a dollar bill...

I'm not all the way toned up but I'm getting there

Thought I'd put this out there. I'm so excited to be almost at goal (35 lbs to go) but all this loose skin is so discouraging. I still don't wear the sleeveless tops and shorts I always wanted cause it looks worse than just having fat arms or legs. Anyone know of a good plastic surgeon and reasonable rates in AZ/CA area? Any thoughts on getting costs of skin surgery at lower reasonable rates? This is the last step of the journey and I'm not sure I'll be able to afford this final phase' date=' total approx cost is 30k!![/quote']

How much weight did u lose total, I been tone my loose skin with rockin body DVD and lifting weights

O trust me you never want to go thru dumping... I was so sick off a bite of a German chocolate cake I was sick for 5 hours my boss call 911. I turn so pale, body so weak, my head was light headed, I thought I was going to die... The hospital call my doctor and when he got there he tells me I been doing great cause this was my first time dumping at 6 months out..... I thought throwing up the clear foam was dumping boy was I wrong.

I am 9 days post band to RNY. I am afraid of dumping and trying to understand what makes it happen. So is is just regular sugar? Can fruit sugars cause it? Am I to go banana and orangeless forevermore? And being type 1 diabetic what can I use to treat lows?

I dumped off a banana and spicy shrimp before I never touched them again. I basically try to stay under 20grams of sugar
