Sorry, I can't. I had that happen a few times when I ate and laid down soon afterwards. If it's more often, I would definitely call your surgeon. Maybe he/she can prescribe medication for it.

I don't think I can answer the question about whether or not 34lbs. is a good enough loss. Everyone is different and, therefore, not comparable. Enjoy your loss and how much better you feel.

Wow! Here's to a longer life!

Yes, I'm using Bariatric Advantage. My NUT thought they were the best ones. The Calcium citrate (caramel) chewables are really delicious. I look forward to taking them. I take one in the morning and one at night. I also take the ultra multi Vitamin with Iron in the middle of the day. That spaces them out nicely so the iron and calcium don't cancel each other out.

Feeling disappointed and unsure
BeagleLover replied to Sleeveddiva605's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was diabetic for 4 years and had the sleeve surgery done around 2 months ago. The surgeon told me my diabetes would go away in 4 days; it went away in 2 days! My co-morbidities, fatty liver and sleep apnea will be gone in 3 - 4 months after surgery. Don't worry about what that person said! Go for the sleeve. -

Welcome back! I hope you are getting help now and considering reaching out to other people. I suggest finding one or more groups on http://www.meetup.com and just enter your zip code. -

Stomach acid
BeagleLover replied to Unhappysleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't answer that, but I was given Prilosec for a month after my sleeve surgery to reduce stomach acid. -

Sounds like you may want to report your experience to the ASMBS. This is the group that designates hospitals as Bariatric Centers of Excellence. http://asmbs.org/ -
UnJury protein... is it any good?
BeagleLover replied to JenWith's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
This is the only Protein powder I use. Not only is there no medicinal aftertaste, it is 100% protein isolate, which is most absorbable. Thumbs up! -
That's a lot of weight you don't have to carry around ALL day!

Heyyy, anybody in the Washington,DC area?
BeagleLover replied to laurenella82's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@laurenella82, who is your surgeon? -
I think that, besides the milk and yogurt, you need to get Protein powder, preferably 100% protein isolate which is most absorbable. Most nutritional pre-op programs in the United States say that you need 60 - 80 grams of protein, closer to the 80 for men. Immediately post-op I was allowed to lift no more than 25lbs. at a time. After one month, there was no restriction.

I'm sure she understands that this isn't how you preferred for things to work out. Best of luck to you both! -

Following the rules
BeagleLover replied to Unhappysleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 2 months ago. I just can't get in my Protein quota without having 1 Protein shake in unsweetened soymilk, totaling 28 grams. So, I make it taste good with sugar free flavorings. No problem at all! -

Presurgery weight gain

@@laurenella82, I thought that until I specifically asked if the goal of the weigh in was to lose weight. It wasn't. So, I suggest asking about it. -
Difficulty Eating/Drinking Enough (4d post op)
BeagleLover replied to HawaiianTexan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@Skywalker. It was a lot easier for me right after surgery if I combined my need for liquids with the requirement for Protein. I drank the Isopure clear drinks with 40 grams of protein.
