I've been eating regular food since 1 month postop. My surgeon progress his patients quickly. I haven't had any problems. Still waiting for a call back. Office staff says they doubt anything is stuck or I would be vomiting and wouldn't be able to eat or drink.

A minimum of 30 minutes.

I took some before bed. I hope I wake up feeling like a new woman!

I have the same thing right now. It's annoying me. I can't wait till it goes away.

If something got stuck, how long till it moves along? Sleeved 3/30, on a regular diet for 2 weeks now. No problems with eating till today. I had thin sliced turkey luncheon meat heated in a pan and cheese for breakfast. When it was time to drink I started having pain. Then the pain just stayed. I had toast with PB for lunch. No pain while eating but pain with drinking afterward. Had thai shrimp salad for supper and had pain the entire time while eating. I'll call my surgeon tomorrow but just looking for opinions right now. Thanks!

I think I'm the only person who doesn't like Quest bars. I've tried 4 flavors so far and only kinda liked one. But I still have 5 or so more flavors to try in the cabinet. Maybe I'll find a winner yet! Premier was ok but more sugar than I like. Atkins aren't bad.

You got this!! And we're all here for support!

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I hope you find something that works for you!

Am I the only one who doesn't see one on a regular basis since having my surgery? I only had to see someone one time preop to get the insurance clearance. Just curious.

I've read you should drink 1/2 to 1 ounce of water for every pound you weigh. If you live somewhere hot or are very active, aim for the upper end. Drinking too much water can dilute the sodium in your body which can cause problems like nausea, confusion, headaches etc. Low sodium (hyponatremia) can be very serious.

That's a great idea! A lot of the drops and packets do taste horribly artificial. Brands I like before surgery I do not like at all now.

I am struggling to get my water in. And I know half the time I feel hunger it is probably thirst. I flavor it but that's not helping. Any other tips/tricks? Also, at 4 weeks out, it feels like I can drink a lot at once. Is that normal?

I too was sleeved 3/30/15. You are definitely not alone. I've been really emotional this week. Had a slip on Wednesday and ate chocolate. Got myself together again but everyday feels like a mental struggle. We can do this. One day at a time.

Proton pump inhibitor. Brand names are Protonix, Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid.

I really appreciate everyone's comments and support. Thank you!
