I found that at each stage I was ready before it was recommended. I always started the next stage a week or so before I was "allowed" to. No bad side effects. The only time I would follow to the letter is right after surgery THROUGH the time in which the stitches should be totally healed Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know this has been talked about before but I searched and don't see the post I was looking for. I am 8 months post surgery. I've never had smelly poop before surgery but it now seems like the norm. I keep forgetting to ask my doc about it. Is it because the stomach is now missing certain enzymes? My apologies to the squeamish. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

3 months. 1/2 a glass of wine. Nothing bad happens. Just get sleepy a lot quicker so I'm careful to just have one drink every once in a great while Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I accidentally drank a soda when I was a few weeks out. Nothing happened which is why I didn't realize what I was doing til it was halfway gone. I'm not much of a soda drinker, never have been. I think if you have a diet soda and the bubbles don't make you sick it's ok Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Love that show. It actually was a huge part in my decision to get the sleeve. I didn't want to end up that big. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's wonderful! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was allowed at 3 months. I find that by the time I eat the Protein, I only have room for a few forkfuls of the lettuce and other veggies. I'm just happy to be able to eat salad again, I'm like you, I love salad Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel the same way. Pre surgery I had very few dislikes. Now I turn my nose up at chicken, tuna, almost all veggies and fruit. It's hard to find something that appeals to me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good for you!!!! I'm 4 months post surgery and lost 53 lbs so far. Size 22 to a 16. I'm very happy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Two weeks. Two Protein shakes, two servings of dairy such as yogurt or milk, 3 oz of meat or cheese, 1/2 cup veggies, 1 piece of fruit. It was tough but I did it and didn't cheat. Surgeon said my liver looked great. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Very inspiring! Do you mind me asking if you have much loose skin? Please forgive me if that's too personal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
