I ate too fast and too much and now I am really unhappy! Argh. Note to self: do not do this again!!

I would take Benadryl and put calamine on the rash itself. Also take a look at what you ate prior to the rash breaking out. Something food related might have caused it.

I agree with MommaCEO - I was in a stall for 2 1/2 weeks and it finally broke when I upped my calories. I only lost 1 pound this week but at least I am losing again.

I've lost 25 pounds. Sleeved on 6/18. I have been stalled for 2 weeks now. I am disappointed because I thought I would have lost more by now. Any suggestions on how to break a stall?

I did not tell anyone except my husband and mother. I value the non-judgemental support I get here. I also didn't want to be the subject of gossip and scrutiny.

That is exactly how I eat too. I'm on puréed and am supposed to go to semi solid tomorrow. My eyes want to eat more but luckily my new tummy knows better!

I went to my 2 weeks follow up today. The Dr. said I am doing great. I've lost 15 pounds since surgery. I just moved to the semi-solid phase for 1 week before going to soft foods next week. I agree that it is nice not to feel hungry all the time. However, my brain is still hard-wired to want more food than 1/4 cup. That will take some time to change.

I was sleeved on June 18 too and I have a doctor visit tomorrow. I am really hoping I can move to soft food! I'm very tired of liquids.

I'm so jealous. I don't go to semi-solid until Wed. I tried to eat some soft fish and scalloped potatoes on Fri and promptly threw them up in the Whole Foods parking lot no less - embarrassing! Although at least I threw up in a bag. So now I got the message and am just eating puréed.

i feel the same way! I'm trying to be patient but still want it gone right now!

I too have had issues getting enough protein. I bought many different sample sizes of shakes and powders online and in stores before surgery. My solution is to just keep trying them and throwing them away if I don't like it. The best I have found is the health-wise Soups mixed with Water and several tbls of low-fat cream soups then strained. I have also added Unjury unflavored powder to them and will add it to Jello I make.

Good luck! You will do fine.

It does get better every day. I am getting bored of liquids as well. It's kinda TMI but I still have diarrhea which I am hoping resolves when I move to soft food next Wed.
