I'm 8 weeks post op and am on stage 4 (mechanical soft). I need ideas for Snacks in between meals. No nuts. I have babybel and yogurt. I'm looking for something with good Protein that I can throw in my lunch bag and not have any prep to eat it (I'm a teacher so want something quick and easy I can eat in 5 mins during passing period.) I'd love to hear what you suggest! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 7 weeks post sleeve. I noticed yesterday that I'm getting these tiny blackheads all over my tummy. So odd! Anyone else? Why do you think this is happening? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I took my own Water and 3 ounces of yogurt. I was tempted to ask if they had a "yogurt" policy LOL (hit Like if you get this Always Sunny reference hehe). I'm a dork, I know Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I don't have time to spend searching the archives, so when I think of something, I post it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm only 3 weeks out, and haven't lost (or gained) in a week. Is this normal?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I tried warm broth and I drank it pretty successfully. I think maybe I was drinking things too cold. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same issue here. I find that warm liquids don't do it as bad. And I'm supposed to be eating full liquids like applesauce, yogurt, etc but I'm scared to! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Focus on Water first. Little tiny sips. Use you pain meds and walk. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! Sleeved on weds June 8. I was doing really great then had a set back mid week this week. I think I was forcing myself to try to meet all my goals too soon. I was feeling extremely bloated and gassy, despite having decent BMs. I was really uncomfortable, plus the night before, I moved an odd way and hurt the ab muscle right under my left breast. So I called my nurse and she told me to take it easy with the food, and for the next 24 hrs focus on water/protein. So I did, and the bloating went down. However, it's been 48 hours now and I'm still nursing liquids. I have a decent amount of pain just sipping Water. What do you guys think? I'm now out of town for the weekend for Father's Day, and my 2 week post of is Thursday. I'm worried about the pain, and getting dehydrated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
