I've been eating a lot of mashed potatoes because it's on the list for soft foods. Maybe that's it?!

Neither my surgeon or NUT really give me a diet. He says it's a lifestyle change so I need to learn to eat healthy, and not totally restrict or I'll end up failing like all other diets.

Hi, don't say that how far are you with the surgery? If you want I can translate mine its in spanish since my surgery was over seas, and give it to you. Yes it's a life style change but you need guidance. Let me know

I just had a chat with my dr. He says it's normal and recommended me to weight my self only every month, since after the 3rd week you will fluctuate a bit, because your body is trying to adjust to the changes in food and food consistency. Am with you

I need input on the hair loss after surgery and how it has been for all of you. I'm nervous about it. Please share your experiences, both positive and negative.

Am 3 weeks post op, my hair is falling out but just a bit, I take b supplements, because that is the one that gets absorbed faster by your stomach. It helps! But honestly so far my hair looks great.. only time will tell and not all bodies are the same, so just keep an eye on yours

I'm still pre-op, scheduled for March 31st. I've come to believe that this is kind of like having a baby in the sense that you hear all the wonderful things and aren't exactly prepared for how the actually initial experience is. Part of human nature is to remember things better than they were so the stories we read don't always include every single bad detail. Also the reward in the end is so great that it's worth the sacrifices in the begin, at least that's what I'm hoping for

Hope you feel better soon and are able to practically forget this in six months.

Kind of having a baby, you will be eating like a baby, from liquids to puree to semi solids to solids in 5 weeks. first week specially the first 3 days are bad, because you have so much gas and it hurts, but it only gets better with time and lots of walking

Sitting here in the hospital 24 hrs after surgery. Really questioning myself. The nurses are telling me I am doing great. But it hurts to drink. Hope to go home in a few hours. Is feeling down normal?

It is normal, it's crap specially with the gas, but it only gets better. Am 3 weeks post op. First week for me was not so good, but am 16 pounds down and loving it. Still ups and downs , you will be fine. Cheers for you I know how you feel

Ohhhh and try to walk as much as you can, slowly of course that helps with the gas.

Hi all...I was sleeved on 2/26 and I'm experiencing difficulty with getting in my Water and Protein I feel fatigued all the time due to dehydration. I'm a teacher so I'm having trouble remembering to sip all day. What is a helpful schedule to go by to get all my fluids in? I have got to get some energy fast! I'm supposed to drink at least 64 oz of Water and 80 g of Protein daily. I'm barely getting in 1/3 of that requirement...

Hi, am 3 weeks post op, am trying a shake that my nutritionist recommend it's called infusion bariatric. I make it in water. That helps. I used to chunk on water now it's hard to go with 8 cups a day, remember it's either water or food at one given time. So another thing is choosing fruits that contain lots of water to compensate. Hope it helps

I am 5 weeks post op gastric sleeve and have so much gas. I am not drinking through straws or having carbonated drinks so not sure why. I have tried gas x already. It hapoens mostly later in the day or early morning. It's starting to worry me. I don't want this to be permanent. Anyone else with this problem.
