11 days Post Op. Every day seems another challenge. Today first post op appointment. Emotions all over the place! I had stopped taking cymbalta because it was capsule and I read somewhere not to take capsules for ten days post op. Anyway probably not a good idea and Dr. advised to start back on it, so I came home and took the capsule with protein drink, then took a vitamin and got violently nausea. Threw up but just dry heaves. 5 hours later still nauseous. I guess I overdid it with the combination!

I just want to add that drinking your protein excruciatingly slow is the trick to not throwing up. I mean a sip every few minutes. It should take 30-40 minutes to get the drink into your body. It’s tedious but that’s life now. I am 2 years post op and still need to drink very very slow. It’s actually a good thing as it means my pouch hasn’t stretched out!!

Hello everyone! I have not been on here for years I think ;( . But I had my lap band removed in January of 2017. I have put on weight , about 15 lbs, and I am considering the sleeve before my weight gets too out of control.

I know how you are feeling. I had a bypass 2 years ago, lost 160 lbs. 50 left to goal when I had a total knee replacement Oct. 2017 and gained 14lbs. So I’m going back to my post op regimen and back to exercise. I have all the tools, I just need to take that first step again. I’m hoping you’ll make the decision that’s right for you!
