I can drink any alcohol but the sugary mixers make me feel like crap. Beer doesn't hurt like everyone scared me into thinking would happen. I don't have it often and sip it slow and only have one. I found out the hard way that my alcohol tolerance is way low. Just take it slow and you'll find out what works for YOU.

Yes I had a hiatal hernia repair along with my sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes, mine was super bad for a few months after surgery. I had to make sure I ate something every 2 hours or it was super uncomfortable even with PPI meds twice per day. I'm 10 months out now and down to 1 PPI per day. I still get acid feeling in tummy now and then but it's not constant anymore. It has gotten much better. Good luck!!

I am 10 months out and today I made my goal. I'm so happy with my results and wish I would have done this sooner! My surgeon thinks I will probably lose more yet but I am so happy where I'm at. I have lost 102 pounds. Whoooo-hoooo!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had endometrial ablation one month prior to my sleeve. I am 10 months post gastric sleeve and still get my period-I wasn't one of the lucky people who don't ever get it again. But it's very light so I guess I can't complain. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I love my Hydro Flask, keeps beverages ice cold with no sweating. I always use a straw, no air issues for me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I am also proud to say I am out of the black and grey life and have moved out of my comfort zone to color in my life. It's awesome! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I love my Hydro Flask. I cannot drink Water unless it's ice cold. I can even leave this thing in a 90 degree car for a few hours and come back to still having ice in my water. It also doesn't sweat and comes in fun colors. I am getting rid of all my other water bottles! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I had terrible GERD after my sleeve with hernia repair. I was taking a double dose of PPI's for 4 months post op. My stomach burned so much it kept me up at night. Now I am 6 months post on and like magic I have NO problems anymore. I am down to 1 PPI per day now and I'm thinking soon I'll be off all together. It's almost like I had a over production of stomach acid after surgery and my body has finally figured out I don't need all of it anymore. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I miss microbrew beers. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I bought these at costco trying to be cheap. I hate the flavor and should have just paid the extra $5.00 for the Premier Protein. Now I have 17 more of these to drink.. Icky! Lesson learned-stick with what you like. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I wish I would have known that recovering after this surgery was not going to be a piece of cake. I was so happy I took 4 weeks off work. But It was soooooooo worth it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I recently started drinking coffee again (sugar free creamer and truvia) It is the only cure for my constipation(I have tried everything else) I drink plenty of Water during the day so I'm not worried about it. Being constipated every day just isn't something I can live with forever. Sent from my SM-T800 using the BariatricPal App

Mine is. I have the paperwork and literature that came with it that states that it is waterproof. Like I stated above, I wore it in the pool everyday since Valentine's Day until about three weeks ago when my orthopod took me out of the pool until after my skin surgery. My daughters bought it on Amazon. Fitbit Charge HR--waterproof. I don't know if they only made a few of them or what, but I have one and love it! None of the fitbits are waterproof, they are Water resistant - see the link below. You ars likely doing yours damage which will eventually fry it https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1598 No. My fitbit clearing states on the box and in the literature that came with it that it is WATERPROOF. As I stated, I've worn it everyday since Feb. in the pool, showering, washing dishes--everywhere and it is still working marvelously. It was purchased on Amazon, but is no longer available. I love my waterproof fitbit.They do have waterproof ones on amazon still available I just looked. They are much more expensive but would be worth it if you're swimming a lot.

It has been my experience that Fitbits are not very accurate (they look nice though). I would find that if I was sitting down my fitbit would add steps to my step count, the calories burned were never accurate. If you want an accurate activity tracker then I would recommend anything by Polar. If you are not looking to spend much then I recommend the Polar FT4 or FT7 (price ranges between $40-$60 on Amazon). If you don't really have a limit to what you will spend I recommend the Polar A300. You do have to wear the heart rate strap but it provides a more accurate reading than Fitbit. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App That's strange.. I've never had steps added on my fitbit when sitting. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

OMG! And I love pickles! Thanks for this info! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I have had mine a few months and LOVE it! I have had other fitness trackers and this one is the most accurate and easy to use. Like other people said, I only wish it were Water proof. I forget I have it on and have almost jumped in the water with it on a few times. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

This is one of my greatest fears since I love to be outdoors and very active in the summer but I can't get the water volume I need. Curious if anyone has any suggestions. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I cannot stand any kind of canned meat. Canned chicken or tuna makes me want to get sick. It tastes like chemicals to me. Also I can't eat anything grilled on charcoal. Sent from my SM-T800 using the BariatricPal App

I had this problem and still do ever since surgery. My doctor told me to take melatonin. I take it about 1 hour before bedtime and it helps me sleep. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

I have not experienced dumping syndrome and have tried a wide variety of foods. I do avoid breads, rice, and pastas however. I've had a bite of dessert with no problems. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App
