Great job. I'm having reflux too. Switched from whey to rice protein and seems to be helping. Good luck. ????

I was sleeved on 9/16 and just broke thru my second plateau. 40 lbs down. Started weight lifting this week. Sore but doing great. ????

You all inspired me to begin light-weight lifting and toning routine. Hopefully I'll tighten up those sagging parts. ????

Tylenol is what they recommend. But I caught a bad cold and was forced to take some Aleve D cold med. So far so good. I figure it's a short term usage. Try aspirin and see if it works for you. If your tummy hurts when you take it stop. They just don't want you to use meds that are harsh on the stomach. Too bad it's the holiday or I'd tell you to check it with your doctors office. Hope you feel better soon.

I know. Just last night I was at RedLobster and found out my taste buds don't like lobster. Bummer. ????

Yes. Malt-o-meal is good. Blend it to take out lumps. Any soup you love ran through the blender to take out lumps. Mashed potatoes thinned with milk and small curd cottage cheese was my favorite. Hot and cold of it , works for me. Remember, you'll only be able to eat 1/4 cup of anything and eat slowly. Good eating. ????????

I find it hard deciding what to cook for Thanksgiving too. Potluck is a great plan. Maybe provide the meat and let your guests bring the sides and dessert. Congrats on your good update too.

How are you doing now?☺️ I like blended soup.

Riding is a great workout. All that leg work to post properly. Keep it up and you'll have killer legs. I wish I could ride again, used to love it as a kid. Maybe I'll check into it. Have a great day????

Oh, I got that back pain too with pita bread but didn't put the two together. Duh. Thanks for the info. ????️AllofMe

????resisted on Halloween. But broke down and had 4 pieces on Saturday. Was stressing over my daughter choice of boyfriend. Oh well. Last year I might have eaten the whole bag. Lol. So it's progress. ????AllofMe

If it's sudden and new, I'd call you doctor. Could be scar tissue adhering to a rib or something. Better safe than sorry. Get it checked. ????

This happens when I eat too fast. Hope you feel better soon. ☺️

I'm in the same boat with you all. It's nice to have some support when the tide is low and we're stuck in the sand. Stay strong and we'll see this through. I imagine that after 10 months we'll look back and laugh at our silliness. ????

Try a baby spoon. It's weird but it forces you to take smaller bites. ????

Also try HOT liquids. I find it's easier to sip hot decaf coffee with creamer or hot broth than drink water. Good luck. I'll say a prayer for both of you. ☺️️AllofMe.

You are too. Kinda weird but I can't wait for baggy pants. ????Have a nice day- ️AllofMe.

Wow. Great job. ????️AllofMe.

Yes. I'm in a similar boat. ????Slow and steady. I was sleeved 9/16 and have lost 27. But we are doing well and will make it to our goals. Keep on keeping on. -️AllofMe.

I do, if I have four small meals and two Protein drinks. Usually hit about 65g that way. But I can only eat a few bites at a time too. So I understand how hard it is. Good luck to all. ????AllofMe

I'm sure if there is any scar or piece of that old gallbladder left in there the surgeon will remove it. Good luck. ????AllofMe

Try Cal-Mag. It's a calcium magnesium drink, hot like tea, before bed. Works for me. Buy at health food stores. Good luck. ????AllofMe

Lexie ???? I stalled for a little over 2wks. Then started losing again. Give it time. You're doing great. My stats: Sleeved 9/16 HW 284 SW 274 Stalled at 264 CW 258 ????- AllofMe

I found that you have to time your water intake. I drink 1 cup at a time usually 15-20 minutes before I eat, never with food and maybe 45-60 minutes after I eat. Otherwise I get sick. Hard to get all 8 glasses in but it is helping. I was sleeved 9/16. So maybe this will help you to. Good luck- ️AllofMe ☺️

I also stalled for two weeks after my surgery. Now at week four I started losing about 1/2 pound per day. So hang in there. ☺️AllofMe
