@OreganTeacher and that makes 4 ounces?

@@aelovelady that's interesting. My doc encourages them but because I get enough Protein without them I don't actually have to do them. I just sort of miss them. @@OregonTeacher that's a good idea. Though I actually just did the math - I try to only do 4 ounces a meal and 4 ounces of Protein shake isn't actually all that much protein!

Does anyone have the problem where drinking water makes them burp excessively? It doesn't happen when I eat, just when drinking water. I don't use a straw, I don't take giant gulps and I go fairly slowly. Yet I burp like a maniac. I asked my doctor about it and she said go even slower. The problem with that is that if I went any slower, the only way I'd get all my water in is if I did nothing else all day except sip. Despite that, I gave it a try and it made no difference.

This may seem like a stupid question, but can all the air my CPAP pumps in to my mouth, and therefore my stomach, stretch my pouch? I've had the pressure settings adjusted a couple of times as I've lost wait but I still feel like I wake up kind of distended and very burpy. Does anyone know if that also effects the pouch?

JamieLogical no I actually hadn't thought of that. I tend to only drink room temperature water.

JamieLogical I am 2 months out

Thanks Ava!

Thanks for all the advice! Looks like I have a lot of options!

Hi! I'm new to this forum. I'm a month out from gastric bypass and I wanted to weigh in. The scale I had said I'd gained 36lbs in 2 weeks! Seeing as how I've lost several inches I don't think that's accurate. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a decent scale that's not outrageously expensive?

I worry about that too. Does anyone know of any good sites or books with recipes that don't include artificial sweeteners? I feel like almost every WLS recipe site I've been to uses them.
