Dumb question ahead......Ok, so I know we aren't allowed to have beverages with meals and I haven't at all although it kills me. I am a thirsty person. I have a beverage near me at all times and always have. So I'm having a hard time fighting the urge to reach for my cup after each bite. My NUT told me not to drink with meals and I haven't but she didn't tell me why. Does anyone know why? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hadn't eaten any of the meat. U think it was the toast. Idk but I am just now starting to feel ok. I never actually vomited. But felt terrible Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I too had a hysterectomy and this surgery was MUCH worse pain wise. People get the misconception that because it is laparoscopic that it's a minor surgery. That's not the case at all. I agree with Kristen, tell ur nurse before you leave the hospital so they can appropriately care for it there and at home. Maybe what your being given isn't strong enough.

You just had major surgery. I'm 3 weeks out and still have pain if I bend or twist wrong. I reached for my glove box yesterday and screamed out in pain. Mostly the large incision is giving me the most trouble. I'm comfortable now and not constantly in pain but you should expect major pain 2 days out. Tomorrow may be worst. 3rd day usually is with any kind of trauma. Take your medicine. Try to stay ahead of the pain. Keep walking. Better days are ahead.

Congrats!! I'm 3 weeks out and have lost 24 lbs. it's been a rough 3 weeks but it's paying off. Well this week was all good but the first 2 weeks was rough. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omg so I progressed today a stage diet wise. I am now allowed toast. So I made a slice and ate a couple bites with a few bites of beef stew. BIG MISTAKE! I'm miserable. Take it from me, just because the paper says you can have it, listen to your body. I will be going back to puréed for a few days. I don't want this feeling again. On a more positive note, the first person told me I look like I've lost a bunch of weight today! She was the first one to notice. (I've lost 24 lbs) it felt good to hear. Also, my clothes are so baggy but at the rate I'm losing, I don't want to buy anything new. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh boy, that doesn't sound the least bit fun. Hope I never get that feeling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! I hope so, I was talking to my hairdresser about it. She had gastric bypass and her hair is so thin that you can see her scalp when she isn't wearing her extensions. It scares me to death. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Not to toot my own horn but I have beautiful waist length and thick hair. It's the one thing I have looks wise that I'm proud of. Would love to hear hair loss stories and what I can do to prevent it! I'm stressed about it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went back after 1 week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

From day one, I was allowed whole pills. Never gave me an issue. Only pill I had to change was my multi Vitamin because it was too big to swallow comfortably. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Was hoping for advice from people who have "been there, done that" instead got tons of judgement and negativity. It really left a bad taste in my mouth. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

THANK YOU!!! I am a relatively happy go lucky person and have a hard time dealing with people that thrive on drama. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks Gina! I'll give them a shot. Jane, apparently! Babbs, really great informative answer. Was impressed by the response in fact. Until, I got to the end. Why is it so hard for people to be nice. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks Gina, I have this handy measuring device from my NUT and I mashed and measured about 3 and 3/4 tbs of banana. Your right, protein first. I know better. It was a grab and go. Was in a rush and figured something was better than nothing. Plus my NUT encouraged me to eat one serving of banana a day, either as a snack or during a meal for the leg cramps.

That's not entirely true. Again, I'm over negativity. You want the last word? Will That make you feel better? Take the last word. Because I am done responding to negative people. It's ridiculous. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I expect a genuine answer from people who aren't catty. If anyone feels the need to be judgemental, move on. Don't respond. That simple. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm not being nasty. I'm defensive because people are being judgmental. My plan is different than some. People are having issues with that. I was basically asking that if at 2 weeks out, were people able to eat as much as allowed or still less. The issue want that it was a banana or that it has sugar or carbs or any of that. I asked a question and people jumped in automatically being judgmental. I'm not here for that. I legitimately was asking advice from a group that is created and FOR questions. No body is in charge of what kind of questions are asked. I was under the impression we could ask what we want. I'm an adult, this catty bs is for middle school and quite frankly, I'm over it.

I would have to say - if getting in your protein is a constant struggle - eating a banana instead of a protein-rich food was probably not a good choice. If you are waiting for the hunger sensation to go away before stopping eating - you will end up eating far too much and possibly cause complications. If you don't care about that - then I don't understand why you posted a question in the first place. You were the person who got incredibly rude with people and are acting as you are the know-it-all. If you only ate 4 tbs and that's what your NUT suggested - then why did you think it was too much?? Why did you ask the question in the first place - if you already knew the answer?!! So it's not really for you to decide if the question was relevant or not. I am actually eating much less than the NUT has planned for me. So overeating is not a problem. The hunger sensation usually goes away in just a few bites. So that's far too much? Lol. ???? It just so happens I asked in this case because it was the first time I'd eaten that much. Know it all? Hardly. I wouldn't be asking questions if I knew it all. My NUT actually suggested the bananas because of the leg cramps I have been getting, I'm not a fan of bananas but I am following her guideline for ME. Thanks for your input.

It was mashed. It was just shy of 4 tbs. my question was about if it were normal to be able to eat what your allowed. Others seem to eat much less. Also, all of the other things I eat, I can tolerate much less. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Main thing I was inquiring about was because the new sleeve pts seem to be eating much less. I know I'm allowed to eat that but I was asking if it were normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
