Hi Everyone, It sounds like everyone is doing well and we are all touching on the same problems. I like how some of your Doctors are following your diet and sending you up dates as you go. I think that is a real plus. I was given guide sheets in clinic and hospital to follow ,but sometimes feel lost. Reading what you are doing give me some additional information. I am still having problems getting my protein. Last night not sure what happened but ate sugar free pudding with added protein (I had eaten one earlier no problem), Within a few minutes I think it was a dumping I became very sick it was scary terrible. I don't want that to happen again. I am trying to learn what my body is feeling and trying to tell me. Thanks everyone

I would like a copy also sweetnell2@hotmail.com

Hi, I am new to this forum. I want to do as I am directed, but think I may have gotten ahead of myself My bypass surgery was April 16,2014. There seems to be so many different interpretation of what goes on what stage I am now confused. What I have been doing I seem to be tolerating and am losing wt. I am still working to get protein up and drink more fluids. I really want to get my strength back and I know it takes more protein. I find I seem to be getting more foods that I cannot continue to eat. Just the thought makes me want to gag. Does anyone else experience that or is it a mental thing with me? I really need help anything you can add will be helpful thanks

It is so good to know there are others that feel the same as me. I thought I wasn't going to be hungry. Especially when I am cooking my husband a meal. I will do what I need to progress as I should. This is going to be harder than I thought. I never thought I would hate everything sweet. I think once I can get my strength back I really will be a whole new person.

Hi All, I think (silly me) I miss counted and now ahead on my diet, but I am tolerating it well, and I don't feel so weak and getting more protein. I was at a point that all the liquids and sweet stuff made me gag and was I on my pity pot, now I am much better. I look at other diets and post and there seems to be a lot of difference of what is on each stage of eating. Would you share with me what you are allowed to eat? I don't want to harm myself.

Hi New Me, My Daughter and Grand Daughter had a gastric sleeve done almost 1 year ago in Tijwana , Mexico. I went as their care giver. I think their big pain was also their back. I believe it is from the co2 gas caused the pain that they used in surgery. Within a couple of days they were doing well, but they walked, walked, walked, and walked some more. They have done extremely well grand daughter has lost 111 lb daughter almost that much. Hang in there it will be better.

Hi All, I also had surgery 10 days ago. I just signed up a few minutes ago I hope I did it right. Thank you all for being so direct. I do better if things are not color coated . Now I am in that time where I am not glad I did this. I guess time will improve things.
