I have already had my surgery but am here if you have any questions! Also look for December surgery forum or thread. It was great for me to talk with people who had already had the surgery.

I did not have to worry about protein intake that much at your stage since your on soft foods. Have you asked your nutrional dr

Ok can we still get reflux after gastric surgery?

I am sorry to hear about everyone's problems. I had surgery on 12/11 and am down 53 lbs. I have not been doing a exercise regime but I am going to have to start . I take bariatric advantage calcium chews and have caramel and peanut butter caramel and they are not bad at all. I was a little low on iron but that is included in my multi vitamin so I guess the doc was ok with it. Everything else looked great . I stall out like some others on here but try not to get discouraged because we are all different. I have a hard time getting 32 oz of water in and really could go all day without eating but make myself eat because I know I have to. Finding protein options suck does anyone have any good high protein things you eat that you could share? My doc wants me to only eat fish fruits and veggies . I'm thinking I can barely get in any protein/water where should the fruits come in?

I take actigall which is suppose to help with my gallbladder

Thanks for your reply I know they say things change the longer you have your pouch . I like to get a perspective of how it will be. Can you eat bread at all?

Yes what are the things you can eat?

I burp and it isn't always controllable! Sometimes I could be talking and it comes out. I was talking to my daughter one day I burped and just went on talking. She thought this was funny !

I mean trying to unix new food and some ideas on what you eat?

Music 1618 what are the things you eat and does it get better with the pouch? Or did you have sleeve?

My gas has gotten extremely better and I am about eight weeks out but everyone is soo different! Keep ur chin upas get bettet

Any thoughts on why my pouch Stella can tolerate jack links teriyaki beef jerky but she does not like or digest ribeye steak? Even a small small piece!

I assume that we aren't suppose to be at 1000 cal til at least our pouch matures and I thought that was closer at a year out? Any thoughts on this?

I had pain on my right side and it could be your muscles where your incision is. My fat flipping and pulling on them didn't help.

Amy c does the little thing you are blogging your food on count the protein? I have the app ! Gonna try and get some things from bariatric advantage this coming tues! My mom who is 67 will be having surgery feb 12

Don't get scared I have not dumped although at times I wish I could have diarrhea . These iron vitamins are killing me! I puked last night because I ate some nuts wayyy to fast! Take it slow chew chew chew !

No worse than me eating bacon! U no it

My tiredness comes and goes. Just ate some chicken salad and I think my pouch who I named Stella doesn't like pickle relish

Kari Jo did you have gastric or sleeve?

I am doing ok but can't seem to get all of my protein in as my pouch is not always so inclined to cooperate.

Ok I know I should get blasted for this one but I had bacon for supper! I know it's not that protein packed but it was good however I think I am going to pay for it! It was settling ok but now not so much.. I know I know I did it to myself grrrr

My weight has been stalled also and I can't help but wondering its because my body is on starvation mode! I am going to try a salad today not sure if I am brave enough though!

I have lost 42 lbs since pre op and 37 since surgery I think! Everyone is different because of age etc etc. I try not to dwell on the weight kiss factor too much or else it would drive me crazy!

Good idea! I actually got 1 and 3/4 chicken strips down for supper tonight ! Really wanted the rest of that 3/4 but I knew better!

Can we have cereal? You know like Special K ?
