So I had a gastric sleeve in September 2016 because of fertility related issues. Good news: IT WORKED. I got pregnant on the first try when my surgeon cleared me. My problem now is I am nauseous. I have been sipping on ginger tea's which help somewhat, but not a lot. I was wondering if there was anything else that you guys could suggest? My sis-in-law suggested the preggo drops but I noticed they're pure sugar, and I'd rather not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Glad I could help motivate you some more! It's gonna be 100 per cent worth it! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I do walking on the weekends and strength exercises at home. Prior to February I was walking a lot more but then I ended up sick and am trying to get the routine back now that I'm not. My biggest tips are walking, prioritize protein, drink water, and watch your portions. It still takes me 4 or 5 hours to eat two eggs scrambled with turkey bacon. I had no idea how big US portion sizes were!

I broke the 100 lb mark last month and seeing my before and after is insane! The before was 5-4-15, my wedding day and about 3 months before I started my weight loss journey. The after was taken last month and is 8 months post surgery (9-14-16). Only 50 more to go!

Okay so bird day is coming up and I'm the cook. (Hosting some current and former Army friends). Now I'm obviously gonna make the traditional stuff for them, but I obviously can't eat the dressing or a lot of the other stuff. So what do y'all do for turkey day for yourselves? Eat only the turkey? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Oh! I forgot to update it went well She said I over exerted and that there wasn't anything that she saw that was bad. She put some steristrips on and told me to keep the area clean and to stop trying to be a wonder woman Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

It's light and liquidy and there's something almost pus like about it too. Surgeons not in today (his day to do surgeries) so they suggested my PCP to make sure no infection. ???????????? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I work in a hospital doing patient access, usually we don't offer people with insurance discounts. It's idiotic. They *WILL* however help you set up payment arrangements. Call the hospitals main admissions and ask to speak to a financial counselor, they can usually help you with a lot including fighting your insurance, payment arrangements and everything else. Don't give up hope! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yes I'm calling my surgeons office to see if I need to see my PCP or him or go to the ER. But, I'm asking if anyone else has had this happen? I'm freaking out, anxiety disorder this does not help. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

So I've been on solids since Thursday and everytime I take a bite of *anything* my stomach starts bubbling and air starts coming up and getting stuck so I can't burp. Any advice? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I am down a total of 31 lbs from when I started. I'm a little dehydrated but he said I'm on par with his other sleeve patients and to just keep trying and doing my best. I was cleared for solids and I celebrated with like...4 bites of grilled chicken and mushrooms. I am so glad I'm past that hump!

Does anyone else have trouble deciphering hunger from stomache pain? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Ooh those are all really good ideas. Thank you! I wasn't gonna go straight for the taco, but maybe some taco meat or something. Refried Beans ain't cutting it. While we're on the subject of foods, does cabbage upset anyone's stomach? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App
