I'm almost four weeks post op so I thought I could go out to breakfast with my family. I'm on soft foods so egg whites should be no problem, right? Wrong! I wasnt eating for five minutes when that all too familiar feeling hit me. Something was stuck. I was being super careful too. Thank God I live less than five minutes from the restaurant. I couldnt get out of there fast enough. When it did come up it was just thick foamy liquid(sorry). This happens almost every time I eat. Its so annoying.

Great tip. I will look for that juice as well

Today I had apple.juice because I have been craving something other than aspartame. I diluted it 50/50 and it was gross. I usually like my drinks where down so I dont think that was the problem. I also took a bite of my sons fries (naughty me, whatever) and that was gross too. As matter of fact I don't like the taste of anything. What's wrong with me? Everything has the same bland taste. It makes me sick to my stomach.

I had no idea 1% milk had so much sugar. Been drinking it since I got home from the hospital. [ATTACH]5017[/ATTACH]

I juiced an apple then added water. Anyone else done juice? So tired of flavored water packets.

I had surgery.August 30th and have lost 30 pounds to date. No real issues but I have to be strict with my bites and how much food I swallow. Things are very tight going down which makes it easy for foods to get stuck.

All I did was turn my receipts for weight watchers and the gym in to my suregeon. Between his office and my pcp they worked it all out. Got my approval in less than 24 hours. I too have BcBS il. My surgery 8/30/13. Good luck to you.

The ring is not lime the lapband. It is used to restrict the opening to the pouch from stretching. It is more restrictive but I don't feel it or anything. Over time it will give just a little but not much. I felt it was a good idea for me just because I was honest with myself and knew I needed more restriction.

I have the ring. My surgeon makes it mandatory.

Does anyone else get bored with something after eating it just once. I'm three weeks post op and already tired of everything. When I think of eating something I've already had I get so nauseated.

Not that it's a big deal but I was wondering if I'd ever be able to have cake or sweets again. Im getting married and it would be a shame not to be able to have a piece of wedding cake.

Great! Thanks. I also found some mango salsa. Yummy!

I want some fat free french onion dip and chips soooo badly. Any suggestions?

Im forcing myself to be more active mzshay35. I go back to work next Friday. Gotta cut these naps and get more energy.

My surgery was August 30th, 2013 and I'm doing well. Went to the gym and worked up a good sweat walking and using the elliptical. I would love to start a group. To date I am 30 pounds down.

Hi guys. Im 10 days post op and all I have the energy to do is sleep. Is there any advice?
