Some drs are ignorant asses. Mine refused to give me the one pain med that works on me after telling him nothing else works. So he made me suffer in pain after surgery. I'm having issues with foods getting stuck but I know ifI tell them (dr and nut) they will just say to eat smaller bites and wait in between bites and leave it at that. I'm getting so frustrated with this. Eating is a pain in the ass anyway so I'll just drink my protein instead.

Update, I have eaten pizza since my OP and haven't had any issues. Haven't had much food adversions at all except for sushi but I may have just eaten too much in that case.

^^^ totally agree

yes, wait to drink the protein drink at least 30 minutes after eating. That goes for any liquids.

I figured out that my body aches the more artificial sweeteners I drink. Have stopped drinking them and aches are going away.

I crock potted the chicken and it was dry. I think my crock pot cooks too high of a temp, even on Low. Frustrating.

The sushi didn't taste different to me. It was very good! My new tummy, however, thought otherwise. :/ I kept it down, both ways (barely), but it was very painful and uncomfortable. It went away a couple of hours later.

Friday is our 8wks. I ate sushi last night. It used to be good pre surgery. Still taste good post surgery but new tummy did not like it. At. All. I will never eat sushi again!

Maybe I'll try that tonight then. I have a whole chicken to figure out what to do with.....

I'm having trouble with the first few bites of food getting stuck mostly just at dinner. Then the waves of pain from it so I have to mage myself throw it up to clear it and then I can continue dinner with my husband and kids with no further problems. This happens almost every night and it's so frustrating. I'm just about to resort to protein drink only for dinner. Yes, I might be rating too big of bites and yes I might be eating too fast but I don't eat dinner Amy differently than I do lunch or breakfast and sometimes it's even the same foods. So yes, I know I need to eat smaller bites and mostly not eat one bite after another but is there anyone else with this problem with a particular mall time in case it's something else??

^^ Mine too Ruby.

I added hot water so it's more like 3/4 decaf, 1/4 caf

I do sometimes but since I've been off of caffeine for 9 weeks and want to get off bp med I figure it's better not to start it back up. but I am drinking a plain half caff coffee now and it tastes fine. Yay!

When I go on the App ads keep popping up now. Never did that before. I quit using the app.

I'm still achy. I get up and walk like a 90 year old until I'm stretched out. Seems moreso now though. Our surgeon won't do blood work until 6 mos post op. That's another 4 months away. ::sigh:: I'm going to ask our family dr to do blood work next month. I need my thyroid and hormone levels checked anyway. He can check vit D and vit B's while he's at it. I hate that our surgeon is waiting so long after to do them. :/

I agree Pik. Well, I made a bariatric safe pumpkin spice coffee drink yesterday. Discusting! I poured it out. Today I bought 1/2 caf coffee. I'll try it plain tomorrow. It's what I drank pre-surgery. If it tastes gross too then I will try regular caff coffee. If that tastes gross too then I will be very sad because that will only mean that my taste buds have changed post surgery. And that would just.plain.suck!. My husband would be happy because he can't stand the smell of coffee. But I have determined that I hate the taste of all of these fake sugars. So gross tasting. I think that's the real problem with any Starbucks/non-starbuck's coffee's. blah

I got a small decaf, skim milk, cinnamon latte and added splenda. Mmmmm at first, then it got gross tasting after a while. Lol. I hate fake sugar. Bluch

Dr said it was between his intestines and kidney, or pancreas. That's all we know. He said it wasn't dangerous and not like the kind that go to the heart, lungs or brain. I don't trust him though so I don't know if that's even correct. I believe every clot has a risk of that happening. But I might be wrong. He gets his INR checked every two weeks. Taking Coumadin every day, alternating between two dosage amounts. Has to do this for 3 months and then they better do another ct scan. The Coumadin makes him feel blah I just want him to feel better. He regrets doing this surgery right now . Our surgeries were on 7/18

My husband's sleeve was don't the same day, out on Sunday as well. A week and a half later readmitted for pancreatitis and blood clot (can happen to 1:1000 of bariatric patients) for 5 days. Is been the weeks since that and his pancreas is still messed up. :/

Surgery Friday, discharged Sunday, no complications except most pain meds don't work on me and dr refused to give me the one pain med that does so I can't say I was at all pain free at the hospital or at home. Jerk Dr. >:{

Hmmm. Might try that next time, add decaf coffee I miss coffeeeeeeeeeeee Does it have that fake sugar taste?

So I ended up getting a small sf caramel skinny something. Gross. Artificial flavor is just plain gross. Oh well. I tried. Lol Thanks for the suggestions! :-)

Thanks everyone! :-) They have the fake sugar there, right? Or should I bring my own?

That's why I'm getting decaf. I don't want caffeine. And I don't want Water. That's all I've been drinking and I want something different this one time. Erp, is the skinny cinnamon dolce steamer decaf or can I ask for it to be decaf?

I'm meeting someone there tomorrow and I don't know if there's anything I can drink. 5 wks out, allowed solids now. Obviously I don't want sugar drinks but don't know what other options I might have. Any suggestions for this one visit besides water? Decaf green tea? I don't know what that tastes like. I.miss coffee though....... maybe just a reg decaf coffee?
