I like Bariatric Advantage

For anyone 9-12months out I’m just curious if you guys still weigh meals, and if so how much you’re able to eat at a time?

Thank you so much to everyone that replied, I’m gonna try to up my Water intake.

Has anyone experienced dizziness after surgery? I’m 8months post op and have noticed that when I stand from a seated position my head spins for a while and it’s been happening since a little while after my surgery.

I’ve read that any type of WLS is an automatic disqualification, but I have not found anything current. I did see though that the Air Force does not automatically disqualify you if you’ve had WLS...so my question is has anyone here had and experience with trying to enlist or actually being accepted?

Congrats!

So I'm 7 months post op and I still do not have the will power to stay way from chips. I started eating them again about 1-2 months ago and if I eat too many they make me feel sort of crappy, but I keep going back to them. Does anyone else have trouble with junk food?

@insul817 thank you, I'm going to try them

@insul817 thank you, I'm going to try them

I was stayed in the hospital for 3 days and my post op was 2 weeks later

I haven't but I definitely will give it a try

@heatherable I have not, but I'm definitely gonna give it a try. Thank you

I was constipated for 7 days after surgery. I was so miserable that I finally called my surgeons office and I was told that I could take milk of magnesia

@BevLee I've read that liquids go right through and shouldn't stretch your pouch, but even now at 6 weeks out it takes me 2 or more hours to drink a Protein Shake and I get really full. That's just not the case with foods for some reason. Luckily I have an appointment with my surgeon's practitioner tomorrow, so I'll definitely be asking lots of questions

@Nana1222 hmm I'm gonna ask about that at my next appointment. I honestly thought all pouches were the same size.
