I used to take the same med and gained 80 pds. Which put me in the position for surgery but i take risperdal now and havent had any issues. Now im not a doctor im only speaking from personal experience but i havent had weight gain issues because of it. Id talk to ur doctor and weigh that as an option.

Its really hard especially if youre one who still gets sick six months out your surgery. I wonder if itll ever get better, will i ever be able to enjoy food. I keep faith that i will find a regime that works and food that stays down. Dont give up Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Right?! It is the weirdest plateau because my diet is super limited still and yet im not losing weight. He better have an answer for me because everytime i look at my scars im reminded of the big decision i made. Thank you for responding.

I quit long ago using chantix. While im not a pro quitting smoking is the best decision to make and it helped me so much Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Please be careful! Post op you can end up with a substance abuse problem the surgeon didnt tell you was a risk. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I want to warn everyone that bariatric surgery has the potential for substance abuse. I didnt think so but my doctors explained that it happens often after ive developed a substance abuse problem. You need to be careful because now i have a new challenge to face because of the surgery and the doctors dont necessarily tell you about it prior to surgery. Avoid drinking and if you cant then try to keep it at a minimal because before you realize you end up with a problem. Look it up Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am so mad i havent lost weight in two months and continue to throw up almost anything i eat its very frustrating. Is there anyone going through the same. I need some advice. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I still throw up as i try foods but im taking note what is good for me that shows a pattern. Thats all i can do and im noticing im vomiting a bit less as i keep a mental track. Seriously take your time (sound like my doc lol) it makes a difference im still struggling with good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omg the waitress must think i hate my food because they ask all the time "hows the food?" Maybe im weird it just amazes me how little i actually eat im glad you all are enjoying it though i will get used to it soon lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Who here still feels weird dining out?! I feel so weird when I see other people eating or when I get sick from eating the smallest thing still. It depends - hit or miss. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had mine the fourth if august and still cant really eat solids. Ive lost over fifty pounds already bc i vomit everything i eat and all i get from my doc is for me to chew slower. There are great stories but also sucky ones like mine so far. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had a drain for a week and it was taken out. Weird and a necessary evil as my doc says. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doctor prescribed medicine to help food stay down. Now after each meal I throw up bile and I wonder if anyone has experience with this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
