You don't stretch your sleeve from one episode of overeating. Just get back on track and move on it will be fine.

Don't do depo! I do ultrasound and I've had many patients get pregnant despite getting their shot at the correct time.

My friend said she hasn't had one since her surgery six months ago. Mine came right as expected.

Are you taking heartburn meds? Like Prilosec? My doctor also recommended Malox or something similar to soothe my stomach. I also had to revert back to softer foods for an extra week.

See people suggesting that you add pb2 to shakes for variety. Both times I tried it, it didn't dissolve. It stayed gritty in my shake. Any suggestions?

I keep seeing people suggesting putting pb2 in your Protein shake, but when I tried it, it didn't dissolve. It was gritty and gross. How do you do it?

I recently got a toaster oven. How do you adjust cooking time for it? I tried to cook frozen fish with the conventional oven directions and I burned it. I was super paranoid about undercooking it though.

My friends keep scolding me because I say "I ONLY lost fifteen pounds in the first four weeks post op". They all think it's great, but I'm comparing it to my friend who lost almost 30. It's hard not to compare.

You've lost way more than I have....you should be thrilled with that progress

Why don't you weigh your food? If you know you only have two ounces, then you can eat it without the worry of overrating and vomiting. That's what I did

I tried gaining weight to get above 40 bmi, only to find out that Aetna requires your weight to be at 40 bmi for two years. I wasn't willing to wait that long, so I went to Mexico. In the end, I only spent $2000 more than I would have here since I have a $3500 deductible.

It seems reverting back to liquid/soft diet and adding malox for few days was the key. I am feeling a lot better. Also, I've realized that bottled water is much easier to tolerate than tap water.

I feel the same way. I'm hoping when I get back to work, it will be easier than sitting around the house thinking about food. I was in a stall, but thankfully I seem to be coming out of it.

Someone once told me that it could be hormone related. Not sure if that's true. I've had this problem for years.

Thank you!

Wow! Congrats! I don't want to be that small, hoping to keep my J Lo curves! Lol. Size 6-8 would be fine.

I wonder the same thing. I never get 64. I just do the best I can.

Thanks everyone. I felt great on puréed, hopefully dialing it back will help things.

My doctor suggested doing a semi liquid diet til Friday. Hopefully that will help.

That is a good point. I've only noticed these symptoms in the last few days when I added solid food. I will try going back to purée. I can take the weird grumbling and other stuff, but I can't stand nausea!! I sent my doctor a message, we'll see what he says.

....I probably wouldn't have this surgery. I'm four weeks out and I don't understand the signals from my tummy In a time span of 15 minutes, I might feel nausea, hunger, an empty hollow feeling, and a slight pain. Then I'll feel nothing at all. I repeat this cycle all day long. I'm on a PPI. on top of it all, I get water nausea. I think I made a huge mistake.

I'm four weeks out and still can't go to sleep without taking pills. I've always had sleeping problems, but it's worse now. I don't have any pain, just insomnia.

I'm right there with you, except I only lost 13 at two weeks. :-/

And I did my measurements and my belly is actually bigger.

I keep wondering about my calories. My friend has been successful on 500-600 calories, so that what I'm doing. Maybe I should eat a little more.
