My surgery was Sept. 29th. so i'm a few weeks post op. Just some advice my nuturionist let me in on. During the pre diet phase it helped for me to suck on hard sugar-free candy. Every time I wanted to reach for something to eat. I popped a jolly rancher, life saver, butterscotch or cinnamon candy in my mouth. Huge help

I am 29 days post op. I found out I can not eat Bean Soup and Onion Rings. My husband makes the best Bean soup. I ate it and was up all night and the next entire day with heartburn. It was horrible. Found this out recently with onion rings. Too gassy. not worth the pain

I am 29 days post op. I still have that too. I read that it could either be that you need more water or to pop a tums or something. I do do that and it seems to help. Like you i'm hoping this doesn't last forever.

I am four weeks and one day post surgery. I am at a stall now. I swear my scale is broken. I lost 20 lbs in total including the pre surgery diet and my scale hasn't moved since. I was so relived to read your story. It still gives me hope that this wasn't a mistake. congratulations and keep up the good work.

I'm just three weeks post op today. Doing pretty good. Can you tell me do you only eat a 1/2 cup at a time still. Or did your stomach stretch at all?

Dear frustrated, I am 13 days post op. Like you I felt the same way, "what in the hell did I get myself into." Just hang in there. The gurgling/burping is still there for me after a bite or two, but not as intense. I can only assume it will eventually go away. I have now graduated to pureed foods and had mashed potatoes for the first time. Oh so good!!! My niece had the sleeve done a year ago and she was feeling depressed and doubted herself like us. Now she thinks it's the best thing she ever did for herself and would not change a thing. Keep sipping on your Water remember: 1. HYDRATION, 2. Protein, 3. VITAMINS! In that order. Take Care, Patty
