Have you tried adding eggs or puréed veggies. That might help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is having a very nice Halloween! So I'm having this issue and wondering if it's something I'm doing or my body is acting crazy. I'm just over three weeks post op, getting my Proteins in and most days getting Water in ( though for the past few days, I've been struggling at 55oz) I've been taking caltrate chewable with Vitamin d and flintstones complete chewable with no issue. Since Saturday however, immediately after taking them I become so nauseous and close to vomiting. Anyone else have this happen? Any suggestions on what I could do to prevent this? Thanks In advance!

They told me if I had three days of high sugars, to call the office because meds may be adjusted/added etc. did they give you any meds or guidance for what to do if you had a high sugar reading? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We're you taken off all diabetes medicine post surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had them during my preop stage, they are good though they only have 15g of Protein so that wasn't enough for after my surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost three weeks out and started adding fiber via benefiber after an episode of really bad constipation during the first week. I will do my best to not have that experience again! I put benefiber in everything I make - eggs, whatever I purée, hot liquids and it works well. I don't put it in my shakes because it clumps up and I can't seem to prevent that. I have about 2-4 teaspoons a day which works out to 3-6 grams of fiber. It's been working well for me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh lord! I was always cold before and was at the park Sunday freezing my butt off in 68° weather. I can only imagine how much colder I'll feel as more weight comes off, but that's a good problem to have I'll be saving all these suggestions for sure! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations to you! I turned 35 the day after my surgery! It was a great birthday gift to myself! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I wouldn't worry about the pounds lost, more about making a decision to be healthier. The weight loss depends on a multitude of factors. I am also diabetic and was just sleeved on 10/7, my bmi was in the low 50s day of surgery. Prior to surgery day, I did a 1000 calorie diet for 12 days (only required to do 10). And I lost 10 lbs during That time. On the low cal diet, I tried to incorporate shakes into some of my meals for a couple reasons 1. To get used to it and 2. To try different brands. I ate a lot of egg white veggie omelets, grilled chicken, low fat low salt turkey lunch meat, part skim mozzarella cheese sticks, lots of veggies and I made my own shakes with low fat Greek yogurt, ground flaxseed, and fruit. I also made spaghetti squash with 2-3 oz of grilled chicken, 1 tsp olive oil, spinach onions and tomatoes and topped with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. The main thing my nutritionist told me during those days was to make sure I was getting my Protein and Water and separating my eating and drinking by 30 minutes. I have lost 22 pounds since my surgery day. I have been taken off my high blood pressure and glipizide pills day of surgery and my insulin has been cut in half. I hope with continued hard work, I will eventually be able to be off my insulin completely. Best thing to do is to follow your nutrition plan pre and post surgery. When is your surgery day?

I use premiere and drink 2x a day. Have you tried getting unflavored Protein powder and mixing it in your liquids? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was also allowed light yogurt, sugar free pudding and stained creamed Soups on my full liquids stage but I would ask your team to see if it's permitted on your plan. Good luck and stay strong! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Glad I'm not the only one with these ups and downs. Hopefully as time goes by it will get better Thanks everyone! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Check with your team, everyone's post op food plan is so different and varies from surgeon to surgeon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
