On days I'm not Physically active, it's around 50-60 grams. On days I am active, it's usually 70 grams or more but I'm going on 9 months post op. 🙂

My hunger came back when I was 2 months post op but the way I manage it is I eat foods that I know are filling.

For example, I have a piece of thin cut chicken breast that I made with some sort of sauce then eat it with raw kale-- BAM! Super filling meal right there.

Another one is shrimp with a few pieces of broccoli.

It depends on what you can tolerate and what you're able to eat at this point in time. I usually have two or three small meals a day, depending on the time of week and I always have them at certain times of the day. Between meals, I just drink my Water.< br>

I just stick with chicken Curry. The one think my body can't stand is Roast. My stomach will send that right back up even if I just eat a tiny bit of it because it's too heavy and the fat content is too high. You'll know it's too high if you do what I did or if you dump from it. If you have gotten the bypass.

My portions are tiny compared to anyone else's that I'm at the table with, since I'm the only one in either side of my family who had bariatric surgery.

Nope, that just happens if I eat too much junk or fatty foods. I'll either get nausea really bad or my stomach will send it back up. I've had rice and only got sick from it once after that I tolerated it okay.

Oatmeal was fine.
Quinoa was fine.
I eat whole wheat bread but it's always as toast. That's fine too.

I eat pineapples in small quantities
Same with oranges

I even had Couscous a little while ago and handled that okay. Different people can tolerate different things. There's some people that can still eat fatty things... Not sure why they would but they can.

I'm still getting used to that and I'm 9 months post op. I love the idea. Just gotta avoid making chili or Soup since I live alone and my freezer is tiny. Lol

Dayquil and Nyquil maybe. Perhaps Theraflu. I love that stuff. You can just mix one of those packets in with Decaf tea.

There's an off brand that works just like Dayquil but I don't remember the name. They come in gel caps, though. Two for every dose. I think the brand is called Top Care or something. I currently have a cold, my first one since surgery. It went from being a sore throat to what it is now.

Hope you feel better 🙂

Rarely. All I get is a four piece nugget from Wendy's. Everything else just seems pointless or gross now.

If it has too much breading I don't even want it. If it's greasy, I don't want it. Lol

i take muscle relaxers when i have a lot of pain . i tend to sit a long time at work and the posture really affects the back/neck. i take ibuprofen. my dr said on occasion it is fine to take 2. depending on how bad a sneak a third. im still abig girl so its more effective. tylenol arthritis is another good one it is much stronger than the extra strength. all permissive buy my dr.

I had about six incisions. I think it varies from patient to patient... And Surgeon.

People say the same thing to me but I don't listen to them. I'm like 20 lbs away from my goal and I'm not stopping til I get there. They're not living in my body, therefore they don't know.

I had it a month ago with no issues and few times before that... Nothing happened. Then again, I guess it depends on the quantity that you're eating and what you're eating. I always buy chicken Curry and eat so little of it that I have left overs for days. I don't get anything that's fried or have breading all over it. The only thing I really crave is curry when I order take out anyway. 🙂

They used the glue on me too. I had Gastric bypass though. I have about six scars. The smaller ones got lighter and aren't noticeable at all, it's just the bigger one that got a little dark. The lighter ones faded after a few months.

I haven't really given my scars much thought because they don't bother me. I just think the scars are another story added to my body. As far as what I've heard that helps with scars are Vitamin E.

Same story for me. I have some hard lumps under my scars that I hope soften or reduce. I was RNY on 11/20/17. It's going great. 0 nausea.

I’m right there with ya on those issues! Although my boobs have shrunk quite a bit. The mattress and not buying a good one..

I don't have the pain right over my spine but I do have lower and upper back pain. One I blame on my boobs for being too big for my body now and the other is because I have a mattress that is due for an appointment with the dumpster outside but I'm too poor to buy a new mattress at the moment. Sometimes the heating pad I have helps with the pain.

I'm on the Depo shot. But I've been using that for years, before I've had the surgery. That works great for me, but I've heard of others using the one you get inside your arm. Not sure how well it works, though.

It's not much of a problem for me. I did it by accident one time and nothing happened. That's the only time I've done it. I just choose not to use straws.

When it happened, I was like 3 or 4 months post op. I advise against using them though. Especially at that time.

I'm just too excited for this milestone and I know that you all would understand how major this is. Today when I got on the scale it read 198.8! This is the first time I've been in the 100s since probably high school (but I have no idea what I weighted then). I know in junior high I was 186 and I was probably shorter than I am now so this is a pretty huge success. I've never been able to lose weight like this with all of the different diets and workout plans before. I'm so thankful for the sleeve and that my doctor encouraged me to go forward with it. Since the sleeve my high blood pressure has improved, I was able to get rid of a CPAP machine and my chronic ankle pain from a childhood injury has improved a great deal. My last vacation in December I needed to use an ECV because walking was excruciating. I had another vacation last week that was three times as long and my ankle was sore some days but I was able to keep up and walk the entire time. The entire process has been so motivating and positive I couldn't possibly ask for any more.
I've now lost 112lbs since my highest weight and I'm thrilled. I definitely hope to lose some more, likely about 30-40lbs. Hopefully this will put be in a good goal range and I can focus on maintenance. I'm a little under 7 months from surgery and it feels amazing to actually have my goal weight in sight.

I got to recreate my 'before' picture and I love having the side by side comparison. I even took the same shirt and remade it into a much smaller size!
