I am currently 17 months post-op. 37 years old. I am at the maintaining level and happy with weight. I had 2 pregnancies prior to surgery (many years apart). Spouse and I are thinking we would like another. original weight 240- now between 138-144. Water weight sucks. I am off the BC because of side affects. Any one have any input on side affects of losing weight after?

Did you have issues with peanut butter? Like nausea? I started to feel sick after but family happened to be sick so I was not sure if it was PB or virus. Also what do you eat with yours? Yes i can't eat peanut butter anything.

I lose hair but can't honestly say it's more than before. I have fine curly hair. If I wash it and put no product in it, I lose less but that was true before surgery. I did cut a ton off as part of the make over. I wash my hair everyother day so what I lose I figure is 2 days worth. Dr and hair dresser it's normal to lose 100-150 strands daily.

Calories 600-900, I walk 3-4 miles a day. Fluids vary. I try. Protein I don't get the 60 grams. 50 is usually good for me. I weigh less in morning by 2 lbs but through the day I put that back on. So bounce from 168-170 daily.

3 month check up I hit my 60% mark but now having a hard time getting past 60-62 lbs. Any advice

this is fantastic. You're a rock star!

Everyone is different. Hour body is adjusting. I lost quick but then hit plateaus for a week. That is a shocking revelation. I think once your body adjust the weight will follow. 1 week out you're still full of Fluid and gas. I'm on a plateau now for approaching 2 weeks. I know it's frustrating. Sometimes you have to up your calories to get your body out of starvation mode.

I love getting to go to TJ max and not having to shop in plus size. I'm 3.5 months out, and have gone from a 20 to an 8/10 pant size. Almost got into a size 8 dress but my bust is still to big. I love 5hat feeling you have lots of selection and can try just about anything on.

I had a bad feeling after pasta.

There is no normal. Each of us are different. I lost 25 lbs immediately but now I've plateau'd at week 3. I'm 203 and 4 lbs from onederland

Try out carb quik. 2 g or protein, 2 net carbs. And they have sugar free maple syrup. Pancakes can be eaten in the small portions we can hold and healthier

If strips make you nauseated then try your zofran 30 minutes before then a strip. I never experienced the gas pain but I have a friend you did.

For those that are 3-6 months out and more. Are you able to ever eat more and 3 bites of anything?

You have room for all that? I can only do maybe 3 bites off food before I get the lodged feeling.

My nutritionist said that fruit is phase 4 and fruit should be freshly peeled. Not canned. She recommended peaches, pears, apples to start with

They should have prescribed zofran to crush and take as prescribed.

I was just released to soft foods. Everything I eat feels like it's lodged. I am guessing that I am full but will this ever stop happening? The lodged feeling to just a full feeling? Also what is your advice an how to avoid it?

Water submersion from my doctor is 3 weeks.

You will lose with the pre op cleanse any remaining problem pounds. I only had to lose 4-5 lbs prior to surgery and I fluctuated bad until the magnesium citrate. Lost it the night before.

Look at carbquik. It is low in carbs and has good protein. They have a recipe site. I also just Google and look through.

I have heard of it, bought some but can't have yet not far enough out. I was researching recipes: carbquik recipes....all kinds of things.

Having same issues. I am hoping I can start swallowing vitamins soon. Can't keep them down at all. Should have tried the celebrate brand. If I can't swallow vitamins I will order celebrate

It's also been linked to dry mouth. If you aren't getting you fluids you can have bad breath. I'm in the same boat. I can drink a bottle of water at the rate I need to and still have dry mouth.

When can you start swallowing vitamins instead of chewables? I can't keep my chewables down. They gag me. I have vomited almost every time I take one. Have stopped until 2 week follow up to discuss.
