These are also signals of food sensitivities. I sneeze uncontrollably when I have garlic so I need to be off garlic for about 6 months. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I had the same issue. I was not able to tolerate whey or whey isolate. The only thing I was able to keep down was Growing Naturals brand rice Protein or egg white protein. The rice protein is a little grainy ans rhe egg white protein makes thigns foamy so it is a bit of a tradeoff. Sent from my SM-N930V using the BariatricPal App

The 24 hour urine is rarely done. They now have a spot check creatinine clearance with a small sample. I used to have to do the 24 hour urine every 3 month and have not done that for at least 8 years. If you dislike the 25 hour ask doc about the spot check.

Fortunately, I don't. I do travel to many other islands in the region and I can usually get steamed local fish and rice - I just don't eat the rice. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I did bring almonds, beef Jerky, and Punjabi snack mix (spicy lentils, garbanzo and peanut) in case I ran into this problem. Was just hoping to get a hot meal. Just three days to go. I was hoping to go buy cheese or cottage cheese but hotel cannot provide a refrigerator as they are all taken by there guests. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

This is more of a vent, but if anyone has sugfestions i would appreciate. I am 14 weeks post open and travel often for work. When at home usually cook make my Breakfast and lunch. And tend to have dinner out a few nights a week since my crossfit session is out too late to make dinner. I have not really had to make any major special requests (just minor stuff burflger or chicken without bun, veg instead of starch) when eating out. Nearly all restaurants allow me to order a child's Protein and salad instead of fries. Unfortunately on my current business trip it has been a bit of a challenge. I am in Guam and the hotel menu's are quite starch heavy or fried. Every time I go to order food I have to talk to the chef and we analyze each menu item and come to the conclusion that nothing fits my needs. They ask what I want and I explain to them the things I usually eat, they think about it and suggest, "can you eat chicken?" I usually agree to chicken and it is usually dry. My local colleague is getting frustrated with my special requests. At home I eat eggs but have not been able to keep them down here I am out of ideas. I asked tonight if they have cottage cheese or Greek yogurt and they do not. I spend so much time talking about what to eat that I don't have enough time to eat it. So far the chicken has been dry and the burger patties and steak are tough. They have two salads on their menu - a kale salad with chicken and a chef salad. I don't do cold cuts due to sodium so the chef salad does not work. I walked six miles this morning looking for a grocery store and could not find one. Ithink has never been such a struggle to find something to eat. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I had that problem as well. Recently started crossfit and the squats and leg workouts have helped immensely. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

There were several medi-cal patients in my orientation at UCSF and they told them that there was no 6 month or 3 month pre diet. I think you should ask your primary care for a referral to a bariatric program. They can guide you on what medi-cal will cover. Sent from my SM-N930V using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve on 6/17/16. I can walk up 4 floors of stairs without stopping. I go to crossfit twice a week. I dont have to think twice before getting into a booth at a restaurant, or seat at theater, etc. I went from very tight 46 waist pants to a loose 40. Just bought a pair of 38 jeans that fit perfectly. I can do 45 squats. I can hang from a bar and pull my knees up to waist height. 28 pounds from goal.

I went back to work after three weeks to work a conference and was on my feet for for 10 to 12 hours a day. It was manageable and I was not excessivly tired. I did get a room with a kitchen and took some food and Protein drinks but tended to eat scramed eggs, yogurt, or cottage cheese most of the time. I also ran week long conferene between weeks 5 and 6. Did exceptionally well energy wise. Did not have a kitchen at hotel but managed well with a less restrictive diet. Also carried a bottle of Water at all time.

I am at week 9 after gastric sleeve and the Protein bars are not an issue with the exception that I really find none of them palatable. I have eaten one in a pinch but prefer real food to the bars. I too am tired of eggs so I have been eating chicken, fish, or beef and some refried Beans or veggies. I am not much of a breakfast food fan. Also I have never been much of a fish fan but I have been trying to incorporate into my diet twice a week. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App
