    Vomitting after eating

    Take it slow. Back to liquids. Protein shakes This to shall pass. I know right now it seems like you will never be "normal" again but you will. Early on I liked warm stuff like tea and cream of chicken soup. Oh and SF Popsicles. feel better!

    2 month post surgery

    Our staff are almost exact. I know how you feel but then I think about the weight falling off and I know that this only eating a few bites is not going to last forever so I find myself taking advantage of it while I can I continually make my meal thinking about how much I want to eat and up having leftovers for at least one more meal.
  4. Egg white protein by Jay Robb. It's not thick at all.
  5. I took nighttime cold medicine the other night and in about 10 minutes I could not speak without slurring or hold my eyes open. My husband thought it was pretty funny. Don't know if I helped at all but thought I'd share. It helped my cough.

  10. Sleeved on Jan 27th. I truly feel a better me was born that day. Didn't have a dream recovery but that is a distant memory today. I love to cook so I cook lots of different things and make servings for the week or freeze. I track on my fitness pal. My new tummy does not like sugar. The biggest change for me is my relationship with food. We broke up and I have moved on. I seriously feed my body now. I'm am growing out of my clothes and can't wait for warmer weather and dresses. They are more flexible than jeans. I am down 37 lbs and share my story with anyone that asks. I want people to live this life. Oh except for the fact that I NEVER POOP! Sorry for the over share but u asked how I was feeling.
  11. I shop clearance rack at department stores for now I am fluctuating like crazy
  12. I was a drinker. Irish so it's in my blood. My doc gave me permission to have a cocktail this past weekend I am 6 weeks out. He warned me of people trading one addiction (food) for another (alcohol). He mentioned empty calories and the fact that I will be a cheep date because WLS patients process alcohol differently now. So I had 1 cocktail because that is something my husband and I do on Saturday date night. Or did I should say. It was fine. I was fine but the one thing I realized is I'm not a drinker in my new life. It's going to be an adjustment for everyone in my social life especially my wonderful supportive husband. I'm not saying I'm never going to drink again. (I told you I'm Irish). But it is one of the major changes in this new life that I wanted to share. I really thought this was going to be a problem for me. I just hope it's not for others around me. Everyone has been more than supportive and understanding. Time will tell. Thank you all for always being here. Joy

    Alcohol- I was a drinker

    That is not the first time I heard of that. I hope your brother is doing well. Everyone's journey is their own. So before anyone is offended by my Irish comment I want to explain what it ment. my Mother straight off the boat (God rest her beautiful soul). Raised me right not to judge others. My family is Irish all my family that come here to visit all of us we like to drink I'm not saying any of us are alcoholics I pray for people that are. I'm not saying that I have a drinking problem I'm saying it is part of my culture being raised by woman from Ireland I guess her part of Ireland that's just what they did because that's how we were. Every gathering is a celebration there's food and drink that's just what we do. None of them were obese however so I guess that's my problem to deal with. I did and I'm fixing it have a blessed day.

    Mechanical Soft Foods

    My understanding is if you can get a fork through it.... Canned fish/chicken. Turkey meatball or meatloaf. No solid beef or pork I did turkey chili caned salmon and soups at this stage. Hope that helps.
