Unfortunately, as much as I love eggs, I don't like them anymore after surgery. My sleeve rejects them almost immediately. I'm off the purées and on to soft foods so I will have more options now! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't know how to eat more calories. I try but there's no room in my tummy and if I try to eat higher calories, I can't really eat crap Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also have issue with Water. been on G2 from gatorade since i got back home but since this week I can't stand it, I think it's too sweet. Also can't go over 400 Calories a day yet. G2 is too sweet for me too. Even watered down. How are you feeling? How much have you lost? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have a really hard time drinking water! I usually just drink crystal light lemonade. How are you getting in so many calories? I'm between 3-400 every day.

Mine was exactly one month and one day. I met with surgeon the first time on May 26. I had the pre op tests and psych eval the following week. Then I had to wait because of Memorial Day weekend. Insurance approved and i scheduled a date a couple weeks after. My surgeon was out of town for two weeks so I had it done on June 27. I as in the hospital for a while because I got pneumonia. I went back to work the day I left the hospital, July 1. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How are you all doing?? We're now 4 weeks out! Where did time go? I had a 6 day "stall" and I'm still only at .5 less than I was during the stall. I'm feeling like I'm more able to eat normal foods, which is a concern because I want to be restricted. I didn't take any time off work, so maybe I'm not healing well? Idk. Discouraged and not feeling great a it the surgery. I mean, 20 pounds loss is cool and all, but I feel like I'm going to be back to eating crap since it's not restricting. I'm on soft foods until Thursday at my one month appointment. How are all of you 6/27 buddies doing? How much lost? What are you eating? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I have pcos and I just had surgery 3 weeks ago. I have had baby fever forever and I hope this surgery will help me get pregnant! I know they said wait a year to get pregnant. Do we know why? What happens if I get pregnant earlier? I haven't had a period yet but I'm hoping! My last one was in May of 2015! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
