Its the salmon. After my surgery it caused that to me on multiple occasions. I have learned that it is too fat of a fish for us to handle. Everytime I have eaten it I get really sick and get diaherrea. That is the one fish we cant eat anymore. Even though it has one of the highest Protein levels.
I am over a year out and still unable to eat it.
Hope that helps

Hello Everyone,
I am a year out of surgery and I am planning on getting pregnant. I wanted to hear from others as I am scared of the high risk pregnancy and malnutrition. I am also very terrified of the weight gain as I am addicted to the scale now (I literally had to have my husband hide the scale from me). Has anyone had a baby after weight loss? How did you handle putting on weight? How did you not gain a lot of weight? I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and will talk to them about being on a strict diet. Before surgery I was diabetic and I am fearful that will come back with the pregnancy as well.
Any advice or if anyone can share their story and please tell me straight forward. I know everyone is different but I just want to hear the good and the bad.

Okay so now that I have been cleared by the doctor. I found out after speaking to a few of them. We actually do not need Pre-natal Vitamins. Our Bariatric Vitamins we take daily are enough. The only extra vitamins I now have to take are Folic Acid, B12 and Biotin (Which is actually for my hair LOL).. I compared the Prenatal to my Multivitamin and I actually get more from mine than the prenatal.
Hope this helps anyone looking.

I am a year out of surgery and I still have a lot of burping. I think its normal as the stomach is smaller so you get more air trapped. There is times that it hurts until I burp.
Hope that helps

Prilosec will be your best friend. Most foods have a lot of acid and after surgery your stomach is so small. AVOID FISH AND meats. I had the same problem with mine. To this day I am 11 months out and still have trouble with meats and fish. just make sure you drink enough as dehydration is very easy now.
Best of luck.

Has anyone had trouble with cheese after surgery?

I am looking for a Protein supplement. I found that may people recommend egg Protein.< /p>
What is your take of Egg Protein vs. whey?
Thanks.

i made a list of all the things i knew i could be looking forward to. improving health, more energy, longer life, clothes that fit, rising self esteem, fitting my ass in the seats at my college... the list goes on. I would read or remember the things on my list when i felt worried and it renewed my bravery and determination. Hope it helps.

Congrats I am waiting for mine. Please keep in touch would love to hear your progress

I'm about six days away from my surgery. Scheduled 12/7. I've been on the preop liquid diet for over a week now and I am hating it. My stomach is no longer hungry but my head is like we need steak! I've tried adding more Protein, having more of the allowed foods and drinking Water. I hate Soups and honestly the thought of eating a Soup right now makes me even more nauseous. How do I get past this part? I know it's worth it and I know it is working but it's sooooo hard! Does anyone have any suggestions for other foods for this preop phase? I'm so close and don't want to fail now, but I am slightly bored and nauseated from the few choices I have right now!
