I get hiccups also. Tells me I'm full.

I put 1/2 a banana in my smoothies. Just remember to log in every thing you eat.

I eat Activia. I take several kinds of meds & it messes up my stomach. I started eating the antibiotic yogurt because I didn't want to take another pill!! It works & I haven't had any issues.

I'm 2 years out. When I over eat I'm extremely miserable & it takes a couple of hours to get comfortable again. I try not to do this.

I'm having the same issue - grazing. Once you "fall off the wagon" it's difficult to get back on & keep going. Good luck in your struggle.

I'm 2 years out &struggling. I refuse to give up. I've put back on 25 lbs & it's because I eat the wrong stuff. My ability to eat more than 8 oz at a sitting is still there. At least that's a good thing. I'm just trying to get back in the habit of weighing & measuring everything. Once I broke my good eating habits it was a downhill slide. Not a good thing!

Spicy food. I could eat medium salsa before surgery, now I can't even eat mild salsa. Sad.

Bariatric Choice sells a Jello type desert. It has low calories & a good amount of protein. One box gives me 2 servings. I keep it on hand for when I want something sweet. I also put 2 packs of Splenda in the mix because I like sweet stuff.

Why do you have to take Lovenox injections? Are you on blood thinners? I had to take those shots but I'm on a blood thinner. I have to stop my Warfarin 3 or4 days before any surgery but I have to "bridge" myself over with shots & then the day of surgery I go back on my Warfarin & take shots for 3 or 4 days until my Warfarin catches up. These shots sting a little. By the way, these shots are expensive. At least they are pre loaded suringes. Good luck with your surgery. It was a good decision. You do need some sort of blender to puree your food. I still use mine for smoothies.

After losing a lot of weight I was able to get off my CPAP. Yay!!

Thanks for this info. Measuring with a regular tape measure is such a pain. I have trouble measuring the top of my arm & right now I'm wearing a compression sleeve for lymphedema & I need to measure my upper arm. My upper arm is 2" bigger than before I lost 85lbs so I need something more accurate.

I take b-12 twice a week & my labs are fine.

So far I have lost 1/2 of a size. From a 9 to 8 1/2.

I was taking a multivitamin I was getting from The Vitamin Shop. It was for people with bariatric surgery. Now I can't find it. The Vitamin Shop has had this vitamin on back order for a few months. Guess I need to find a new one.
