Im always hungry and since it takes me so long to eat a meal...by the time i let it digest...drink and have to wait again to eat im hungry... Dr says to aim for 6-8 tiny meals a day...me im taking about 3 hrs to eat 1 meal.. Waste is not an option in my house..too many mouths go unfed all over the world... I give me left overs to my sons to eat lunch for work or late night snack...or give them to my gf and she has lunch!! I laugh with my other friends who have had gastric surgery cause we cannall share 1 reg plate

I did that but then find several meals goung to waste. Most times i eat off my husband's plate...

Such a food waste...but its ok im getting used to it...

Lmfao....my husband made me a tuna salad...served me 1/4 cup...took me 3 hrs to it it!!! Glad im nit the only one

Your doing the right thing!! Gas-ex...i even bought a fast acting gas releiver..im at work so cant give u the name that worked well for me PM me ill give u my number.... It will pass just sucks i know

Good! We are all here for you!

Awesome! Glad you are doing well...hows the support going?

3 week stall? lol..i am waiting to hit mine! everyone says they usually lose inches during this time... I am 1 month yesterday still losing but VERY SLOW now

maybe some avacado or something...im on a all protein, no sugar, no carb diet...lol

Ooo keep them coming ill keep trying different things until one works!

Ooo gonna try that! Im doing a virgin coconut oil wrap on my head on thur (30 min process) and i have a honey and brown sugar scrub

Im am primarily on a full liquid diet now! Lol...ill talk to my nutrionist

Anyone else have dry skin now or worse dry scalp?? I am 1 month post opp and noticing my skin very dry and now DANDRUFF!!! I have long thick gorgeous hair and omg this bothers me so much!

Good to know!

Awesome!!!!

Cant go any slower then i am...1/2 an ounce is what i sip at a time and eat well 30-45 min to eat 1/3 - 1/4/cup of food.

Today is 1 month since I had my surgery... Still learning so much about myself and my new body...lots of happiness lots of frustrations BUT all in all doing well. First the bad... As you all know I had the chest pain...completely gone now! I can breathe and I wont take it for granted ever!! Drinking lately has been odd i sip and then at times lately i feel nausea soon after...not sure why...same with eating.so taking it slow and listening to my body. Eating is a challenge most of my protein/nutrition is coming from liquids..nutritionist says its ok but that i have to atleast challenge my body to 1 meal a day...when i do eat i can eat about 1/3- 1/4 of a cup at a time...however im always hungry since i eat so little so i just drink protein.. Which im fine with! Clothes very baggy sucks but dealing with it...im creative so making it work as tim gunn says... The good! I was 177 weekend before surgery...yesterday i was 157.8 so im doing well i have not hit the stall ywt but i am sure i will...in the mean time taking it with stride and rubbing stretch mark cream like no other lol.. Labs- all arw good diabetes gone! High triglycerides gone! Sleep apnea gone! And my migraines are so small its like i dont have them...that alone would have made this all worth it!!

Lately after i sip water or eat i get nausea...strange doesn't always happen..but enough for me to notice..i am staying well within my guidelines of my diet so cant place it...anyone have ideas?

Nice!!! I was type 2...but controlled...never needed meds...but doctors put me on metformin when i started my pre op diet ro help lose more weight...they told me i would leave the hospital with out it...took my blood tests last week...no longer diabetic!!! If all comes out good again in dec they will deem it cured!!! Woo hoo.... I seen to many family members die of renal failure from yrs of being diabetic i did not want ro live my life that way...although doctor did say as we get older and our metabolism slows down more it CAN come back but 1 battle at a time! Happy for you Criag!!

I would call your dietician and phych right away...Cheating on your post-op diet can cause diarrhea, dehydration, constipation, bowel obstruction, or a very serious gastric leak. Their is a reason they put you on it...I even thought of cheating but with Peanut Butter or oatmeal not fries and a pizza...however the risk was not worth it to me. I did this for my health and family... Please PLEASE seek help...you come this far so get help.

How is everyone doing? My 1 month is coming up!! Finally seems like its taking forever to arrive.

Lol me too!! I keep my soups in a small chocolate melting pot for cake pops that i got on clearance for 4.00!

So its taking me 30-45 min to eat a meal and wwll my food was constantly getting cold...and nuking it was just not making me happy esp since i walk away from my food and come back since the mini walks help...anyways...i bought a coffee warmer (9.99 at target)...and just use a small mug or soufflé dish and leave my food on there...works like a charm and small!

Awesome!! 2 days until ur born again!!!

Ladyjustice...just please know NO ONE should be put down at any time ever...if thats your husband's natural way it is still NOT ok..and counseling wont change him but it will help you!
