    I do take prescription Prilosec once a day, but I still have the bubbly stomach. No pain though. I have gotten "foamies" twice so I tend to agree that it may be acid reflux I'm feeling. I'm going to call the surgeons office tomorrow to see what they say just wondering if anyone else had experienced this. I just want to be able to eat again.

    I was sleeved on September 19 and went through the phases with little difficulty. When I got to phase 4 (solid Protein, veggies and fruit) I began to struggle. My stomach constantly feels bubbly. While I was able to eat 4-6 ounces of soft food, now I can barely get 3 in. Also, all protein makes me nauseous. meat, Beans, cheese, cottage cheese, tuna, Protein shakes. All of it makes me gag to get it down. But I can tolerate things like mashed potatoes or Tomato Soup. The last week everything I've eaten goes right through me. Has anyone experienced any of this? I'm getting so discouraged and starting to worry a bit.

    Hi all,

    I haven't started my journey yet.. my informational seminar is next Wednesday the 7th in Rochester Hills. Would be looking to have my surgery at Troy Beaumont.

    I was wondering.. I have Priority Health PPO.. has anyone here gotten through the approval process with them?

    I have Priority Health and they were pretty quick about approving me once I met all their criteria, i.e. A 6-month dr supervised wt loss program, BMI of 40 or 35 with co-morbidity. Once we submitted the paperwork I was approved in a little over a week.

    I'm going to Dr. Gluck in Muskegon. I really like him. Having my 3 hour "pre-fast" nutrition meeting this morning at 10, and I start my liquid diet on Monday. Can't believe it's getting so close!! Good luck with everything. :)

    Thanks, and I understand what you're saying. But believe me, although I'm sure I will deal with some jealously the first time I see him sit down with a steak and potatoes or a big wet burrito, I really do have the issue of figuring out healthy meal choices that are good for my sleeve and that he will eat. If anyone has any suggestions on that, if really appreciate it. Seriously. I want to be prepared when the time comes so I don't fall back into old habits. Thanks in advance.

    Hi. I'm a married woman who doesn't cook. There...my confession. Haha! Well, I can cook, but I hate to, so I rarely do it. So, usually my husband either cooks or we get take out and that's been our way of life for 30 years. My question is, once I'm cleared for regular food...then what? He's like a stick. Not an ounce of body fat, and if he eats like I'm going to be eating, he will disappear. How do you deal with this? Do I cook for myself and let him fend for himself? Do I eat what he cooks but only small amounts? (meat and potatoes...) do I start cooking and try to get him to eat healthy with me? He will absolutely not eat fish, chicken, etc. What about take out? This is going to be the biggest challenge for me. Not the willpower, just the details. Help!! :)
