I need some ideas of quick, easy snacks and also what to make for dinner? I hate fish, eggs, and cottage cheese. I'm trying to stay as low carb as possible and get lots of protein. thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I suck on sugar free candies and also ginger candy from the pharmacy section for nausea. And yes, the sleeve can be stretched unfortunately Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doctors put me on like 3 different medications for it and told me to eat 6 small meals a day. It's helped tremendously. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know this sounds like such a silly question, but I'm wondering when you know when to stop eating? Of course you're thinking "when you're full".... but I'm not hungry to begin with. I am supposed to eat 5-6 small meals a day. It's a chore to eat 1 or 2 lol but I'm trying to do the 5-6.. so how do I know when to stop when I wasn't hungry to begin with?

Yes. I had an upper gi and they said it is gerd. I had gerd before my sleeve, but the sleeve made it much worse. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had the sleeve dec 14th. I've always had gerd and it is WAY worse now. I had an upper gi yesterday to make sure nothing major was wrong. Anything I eat or drink comes right back up into my esophagus. It's super painful Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went there a few weeks after my surgery and had the mashed potatoes with country gravy. It was delicious! Be careful though because they leave some skin in the potatoes and also a few small chunks. Just go around the skin with your fork and chew the potatoes really well! Good luck and have fun Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

When you started regular foods, what did you try? I don't start for another week and a half, but I know I will be really nervous to be able to eat whatever. I don't really know what to start trying first Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm starting my soft food stage this weekend. The menu I was given says I can have poached salmon, scrambled eggs, yogurt and cottage cheese. These are all things I can't really eat without getting nauseous. I was wondering if you could give me suggestions of what else I could eat that is soft, even if it is carbs. I know I don't need these things, and once I'm on my regular diet and can eat whatever, I have a strict meal plan and gym plan for myself, but for now, I'm just trying to get by and keep things in my stomach. Any help would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I put the premier protein caramel shake in decaf coffee or sugar free hot chocolate and that helps. I know you don't like the premier, and I'm not a fan of it either, but this way you can't taste it. And I also put a scoop of unflavored protein in it to get even more protein in. Be careful though because some people become lactose intolerant after surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ugh I hate that you're dealing with the same thing. It has me so upset. I feel like it's such a set back are you vomiting or anything? I feel super gassy like I did after surgery but can't seem to burp it out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App What was it?

I am 3 weeks out as well. I have suffered from anxiety and depression since I was little, but my depression has been significantly worse lately. I'm here if you need someone to talk to, as I could use someone myself. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was really worried about the pain after surgery as well. In recovery, apparently I complained so bad that they did an EKG to make sure everything was fine. Thank God it was. But I don't even remember the pain in recovery. Yes, the gas was bad. Pretty bad at times. BUT it was not unbearable !!! Take gas x strips and walk as much as possible because it's the only thing that will help. Best of luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Okay so I had something on Wednesday that didn't agree with me. Today's Friday, and I'm still really sick from it. I'm not able to get my Protein or fluids in because it makes me so sick and I'm running to the bathroom. I've talked with my surgeons office and they're not concerned but I really didn't think I would still be sick from it. Plus I'm extremely gassy (burps) from it. Has anyone else experienced staying sick for multiple days because a couple bites of something didn't agree with them? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I use my binder and it's been a life savor! Lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Mine told me that as well. I was so worried I would "break" something or pop my pouch or stitches but he said little can be done to do that- basically just progressing your diet before you should.
