So I'm over a year & a half pos op.. I just met the most incredible man a couple months ago and we are now dating and sexually active.. is there any birth control out there that is safe for me to take? Should I go ask my gynecologist about this or my bariatric surgeon? Please help!

I'm gonna check with my gynecologist and see what she suggests

I really need help with finding food I can eat.. For some reason my appetite is completely gone and I don't eat like I should.. I'm really concerned and need any help you guys can give me

I'm 5 months out and a very good friend of mine (who had the sleeve done over a year ago) got me to eat a piece of chicken tonight for supper

I was really bad this weekend???? I just started dating this guy and we joined our friends at a bar for some Halloween fun and I tried alcohol for the first time since my surgery and it went really good and so I had a few more drinks and a cocoanut shot and it was the most fun I've had since surgery!! I'm 4 months post op by the way.. I know it might have been too soon but I just wanted to try and it went so good! And I didn't get as drunk as I thought I would.. I sipped between the alcohol and ice water too so it helped.. And then today I had a piece of homemade deer jerky. It was delicious!!!! So now I'm getting back on the health wagon and working my butt off to take the calories and burn off the fat that I took in this weekend.. I had my fun and now it's back to what's most important.. My health..

Can we still take birth control? What kind would be good for someone who had gastric bypass surgery? I'm making a gyno appointment Monday to look into it more

I don't even know where to begin with this whole mess! All I know is I need help and fast! I'm almost 4 months post op and I'm nauseous 24/7 and can't eat anything.. Now I'm starting to have nightmares about food I know I can't have! Now I'm losing sleep over this.. I'm very weak and have no energy at all.. I'm worn down all the time.. I'm ashamed to say this but I haven't been taking my Vitamins like I should.. There's just so many to remember and I've been so sick at my stomach that I can barely keep anything down.. I'm lucky if I can keep my Water down.. I go today for a EGD test.. I'm really scared that I'm never gonna get back to feeling good again.. I just hope I don't regret this whole surgery

I was just thinking, the holidays with all the food will be coming up before we know it.. I will be 5 months post op for thanksgiving and 6 months post op for Christmas.. What kind of holiday food is pouch friendly? I'm kinda nervous to be honest..

I am almost 3 months post op and I am constantly sick at my stomach.. The thought of eating just makes it even worse and I can't seem to keep anything down.. I'm very worried that I am not eating enough.. Being sick like this everyday makes me kinda regret having this surgery now.. I just wish I wasn't sick all the time like this

For the last few days I've been really really nauseous and it's been hard to eat anything because I think it will make it even worse.. Any suggestions that might help?

Is there any vitamins out there that actually taste good? The kind I have now just taste disgusting! So I've been looking around for better tasting vitamins.. Why aren't we allowed the gummy kinds? Is it because we can't break it down anymore?

So I am 7 weeks post op and doing a very bad job at getting my protein in because I'm still scared of trying new things that might make me sick.. Any suggestions that is pouch friendly that I can try?

I will be 5 weeks post op tomorrow and I already got advanced to regular foods.. What exactly is considered regular food to someone who had gastric bypass surgery?

I am 3 weeks and 3 days post op and my doctor advanced me onto pureed food.. What can I purée? Does anyone have any recipes or tips for me? I've been eating baby food

Are you allowed to chew gum? I'm 6 days post op

Everyone's doctor is a little different with the rules.. I'll just ask mine if I'm allowed it

I'm 1 week and 2 days post op.. Everything went better then I thought it would with my surgery and could not be happier with my progress.. But these cravings are really driving me nuts.. I'm literally dreaming about food.. Food that is so so bad for me and I know I can't have ever again.. I'll admit, I was addicted to food and I think I'm going through withdraw.. I'm trying so hard to keep my eye on my main goal and my future! I absolutely love this app! It's so great to have a place to go to for anything and everything about the surgery pre op and post op.. It's so very helpful and so uplifting and encouraging!☺️

Thank you all so much for these very helpful responses!

I'm 1 week and 1 day post op and my incisions are so itchy! I know that just means they are healing but any suggestions on how to make it any better? Or heal faster?

Congratulations on your new start! You're gonna do great!

Awe man, that stinks???? I never really thought about it like that.. Thanks anyways!
