How long after u eat do u wait to go to bed? My dr said after eating anything I should not sleep until an hour at least and if I drink even a sip of Water I need to stay up for half n hour before sleeping... I've had severe gerd issues before the surgery so I'm trying to stay away from any refluxes as well... also avoid anything spicy... even if u take any medicine or anything wait for an hour to sleep and since ur having issues right now elevate ur head while sleeping... and have more yogurt ... I had my surgery on 27/09 so I'm still fresh but this is what I used to do when I used to get gerd

Hello everyone, I'm Antonio I was sleeved on 5/29/15. Reside in NYC. Was sleeved at NY Presbyterian
    HW 340 SW 320 CW 200 MY GOAL WAS 225. But now I want to go down to 190 . I been motivated for the results of the weight loss and my gym results.   
I lost all of my weight by November 2015 now it's just been maintenance. Definitely keeping active, as you see I picked up biking which is something I haven't done in 20 years along with hiking. Surgery was the best decision I made in my life. My only regret was not doing it sooner since now I'm in my mid 40s .
Hope to chat with fellow NY'ers

Check for h. Pylori?

I am so excited because I get to try a scrambled egg this Sunday. I hope I don't have a bad reaction to it. I have always loved eggs, and if they will work for me, it is going to be the first step back to some sense of a new normalcy for me. I'll have to remember to take it super slow.

I'm 8days post op now. No one ever told me the regret I'd feel. All I wanna to do is eat. food was my comfort and now I don't know how to comfort myself! Advice??

I ate crackers about 3 weeks post surgery, because I was traveling, so I took those cracker and tuna kits with me. I needed to make sure I had food I could eat. I didn't have an issue, but I could only eat like, 2 crackers with tuna at one time. Be prepared for that!

Totally agree. I also love red pepper slices with things like chicken salad.

Cucumber slices make the perfect cracker. Change how you think about food.
Crackers are terrible with zero nutrition.

No food is going to stretch your sleeve unless you stuff yourself so full you explode. That's a stupid thing some docs/NUTs tell you to scare you into not eating bad foods because they think most people are not able comprehend how to eat properly without scare tactics. Sigh.
Crackers are a bad food to eat in general. Any food that will turn to mush if you put it into a glass of Water is going to end up being a "slider" food, and crackers are all carbs. My doc told me not to eat them at all and if I had to have one, only after I was about 6 month out (triscuits that are whole wheat if I eat them at all are less bad, but still bad - no saltines or ritz) .
The reason for the wait is to get your head straight on eating correctly - Proteins, veggies, complex carbs in moderation. Eating things like bread and crackers too early just get you hooked back on the crap foods you were eating before surgery.
You have to use this time to throw out how you used to eat and learn how to eat healthy, whole foods. If you don't get it figured out before the honeymoon period is over with, you could regain weight after your metabolism adjusts (about 12-18 months after surgery).

How about you just follow the rules and if your on full liquids you eat full liquids? If you want to cheat and eat applebees why did u even get the surgery?
