I was sleeved 3/28.. so far I have had about 2 bowel movements since the surgery (except for the initial diarrhea ). Did anyone else take laxatives to help this? I was self pay in Mexico so I don't really have access to my doctor Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Mt wife and I both got the sleeve the same day, 3/28. this week, whenever she eats she feels really sick and throws up. anyone know why or have any ideas? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

You're hungry cuz you're not eating... Clear liquids have never been a meal and provide minimal nutrients. you'll feel better when you're on full liquids. also, being around all that food probably had more to do with head hunger than anything else. I would avoid those situations if possible for a while.. you won't find me sitting at a restaurant or anything bc of that very reason! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I have been feeling the same. I also was pmsing, so a little of it has left. without cigarettes and food, it is hard. in actuality, I don't have big stressor right now, or anything to feel bad about. so I'm not even sure what I was coping from, but I know now what I was using to cope. I am considering seeing a therapist. maybe it's something you should think about too? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

8 ounces is way too much at once.. unless you're talking about throughout the day, but even then seems too much. I would try 2 ounces. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

dr. mario Almanza? he's had many fatalities. I am hoping it's not the same one. I know bariatric pal isn't associated with him anymore. hopefully it's not the same guy. http://www.10news.com/news/team-10-dozens-injured-during-weight-loss-surgery-in-Mexico Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I thought that too during pre op.. then I read on here of someone who changed their mind after doing so well on their pre op. as soon as they made their decision, they drove straight to TGI Fridays... I knew that I also would be doing the same thing. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Can anyone direct me to where I can find plant based meal plans for WLS patients? Im vegetarian, but I really don't want to have to eat dairy and Protein shakes every day. I know a plant based diet is much healthier. Please let me know If you know of anything! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I had mine the 28th.. I am feeling better, I just got off Clear Liquids today so I'm happy to give up broth and jello! however, now that I added Protein shakes, It's been more difficult to get in my Water. my big incision hurts more than the others.also, I've lost about 10 lbs which is very encouraging!

when I gained 10 lbs after the surgery from the IV and gas, I realized how real Water weight and bloating really is. it's certainly not something to obsess over or you'll have many freak out days. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
