I didn't know that about the iron and calcium time frame. I take it within 15-20 minutes of each other. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I have more of a sexual appetite than I ever did before. Being on all the meds I was on made it worse. Now it's alot better and I'm enjoying my life alot more. Especially now that I'm single and dropped over 100 pounds. ???????????????????? Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

From what I read online about dumping syndrome. It did hit me about an hour later. I was in so much pain driving home. My mouth had that watery feeling from getting ready to vomit, which I didn't. It wasn't a pleasant feeling that's for sure. That was my first cheesesteak and fair food since my surgey. Good thing I didn't go for the fried veggies.

Thank you. I never had a dumping episode so I wasn't sure. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5 months out and have been careful with what I've been eating. Decided to head to the fair last night. Haven't been to one in a few years. Ate a cheesesteak minus the bread, sauce, onions and peppers. 60 minutes later. Let's leave it at that. Then a few hours later. Whoa! Definitely not a good feeling at all!

Wow! You look amazing! Congrats on the weight loss. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Best decision I ever made! I'm 5 months out and have had no complications or regrets and lost 106 pounds. You definitely need to be prepared. The 6 month program I was in before the surgery really helped me understand exactly what I was getting myself into. You'll be fine. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I took omeprazole for 3 months. Weened myself off of it per Doctors orders. Only take it when needed. Carry a pill with me at all times. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Pre op was hard. 2 weeks of following the plan to the T. Lost 16 pounds pre op. I walk alot. I started working out today as a matter of fact. Elliptical and free weights. I'm using a gym in my building. It's free for employees. So I don't have a trainer but they do have posters all around of different exercises. I eat alot of yogurt, Turkey burgers, and Protein bars. I can pretty much eat anything but those are my favorite. Once I have my 6 month follow up I will definitely try other foods. Oh and I like eating Cereal with no milk. Make sure you stick with your plan that your doctor give you. Good luck Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Was planning on going back a week after surgery but my surgeon said it was too soon and kept me out an extra week. I went back after 2 weeks. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I used a straw by accident as well and all was good. So I use one when needed. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5 months post op. Easter was my 1st holiday and that was hard for me but I did it. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Oy vey!! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I had my first taste of wine 4 weeks ago. It was a half glass of pinot. Lemme tell you. I was really really buzzed. Lol Lasted about 30 minutes. Since then I've dabbled in some martinis as well. Didn't get sick but definitely tipsy. If you go out have a dd ready. ???? Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm 5 months post op and I definitely eat too fast. To the point where it causes pain. I keep telling myself to slow down but haven't yet. Smh! I will get there eventually. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Any tips from you guys out there on how to hide them. I did buy a compression tank top but it's very uncomfortable and makes me look lumpy. I thought about an ace bandage wrapped around the chest area but not sure if that would be wise. Help! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the advice. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 4 months post op and I'm finding it really hard to eat meat especially chicken. I find the taste to be raw like even though it's fully cooked and seasoned. Anyone else have this problem? Has anyone become a vegetarian because of a problem like this? Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Holy crap! 125 oz a day! I can barely get 30-40 oz in a day sometimes less. 64 oz is what I'm supposed to be drinking. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
