Try the pouch reset. Worked like a charm to kickstart weight loss w a friend of mine who had started regaining weight after having had successful surgery 8 years ago. Look it up on here or on Google. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Get it checked out. I developed a hernia soon after surgery. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Diet coke has a lot of calories? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

"Thanks for noticing. I'm working on it." And believe me, the surgery is only part of it....You'll be working on it. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Try the drinkable yogurts. The chobani ones that you can find at Walmart and other stores I'm sure are fantastic. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

It sounds like a magnesium deficiency to me. I'm sure they'll run some bloodwork if you report it to a Dr. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I just found chobani yogurt shakes today. 14 grams of Protein. 200 calories. Delicious. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I am 53 and had it at the end of August. Go for it. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I stalled early too. Every body is different. I do think ppl w lower starting weights lose more slowly. I do think I lost some inches during the time of the stall - my clothes got bigger on me. Stick w your plan. It'll start coming off again, I promise. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Yes to all. Also I am hypersensitive to smells and textures of food. Makes me wonder if this is how it is for people who don't struggle with their weight. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Holy cheekbones! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Not everyone feels restrictions right away. I didn't. The nerves in your stomach have to heal. So, stick w your Dr's guidelines. The restrictions - which are helpful in gaining self control - will come. Also the volume and texture of the wrong foods can apparently damage the pouch. So be patient and follow the rules. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Sometimes I can eat one slowly taking small bites, and sometimes they make me terribly sick. No rhyme or reason. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I used them once. Almost threw up from the intense taste, but they did help get rid of the gas. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

3 to 4 pounds a month on 900 calories a day sounds strangely slow to me. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I've read on here it happens bc the nerves are not healed in your stomach yet. Search "no feeling of fullness" or something like that and the explanations should come up. I wish they covered this in classes before the surgery! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Yes. My sense of smell has gone into hyper drive. So many smells bother me. Even some food...which I am A-OK with, lol. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

That does not sound normal. Get a Dr's appointment asap. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'll be very interested in these replies bc I have same issues. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I went to Mass today. 5 1/2 weeks out. No problems. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I felt increasingly sick and nauseous over two days home from hospital. Also had increasing abdominal pain. I'd developed a hernia. Ck w your dr. Better safe than sorry. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Not everyone "can't eat" at first. Be prepared for damaged nerves to inhibit your "full" sensation and ask what your maximum input on food should be. Just bc you can eat it doesn't mean you should. You can damage stomach if you don't restrict yourself. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I had very similar issues. Three weeks out I can eat less than five days out. It'll come. Like someone said....measure! It'll stop you from harming your pouch. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

How far out are you? I was worried about the same thing until recently. The further out I get from surgery and more advanced I get in diet the less I can eat. It'll come. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
