Everytime I eat I get a stomach ache. There have been times where I came close to vomiting. My surgeons office told me it's because I am eating too much. That 4 bites is all I should be taking at each meal. Not happy [emoji53] Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was told decaf tea is fine. And no coffee for 2-3 months. And when I do drink coffee, it should be decaf. That stinks cause I need the caffeine. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

I went onto Match for one month. I did get dates but, there are a lot of scammers on there. People from overseas looking for money. Also, Match has "bait". Really good looking people to try and suck you in when there is no chance with them because they are set up on the sight to lure you in. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am 1 month out today and still having regrets. I live with a constant stomach ache and low energy even though I am eating and taking my supplements. I had complications in the hospital which kept me in for another week. I made this decision for my health, but I feel worse now than before I had this done.

I had thyroid problems way before I considered weight loss surgery. The doctor found the problem, I went for a biopsy and it turned out to be cancer. I had my thyroid removed 2 1/2 years ago and have bern taking levothyroxine since. I was sleeved on April 24th. I have been consistently losing weight. I don't believe you will have a problem. Good luck! Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was allowed creamed soups when in the hospital, but found my body couldn't tollerate them. I also can't tollerate artificial sweetners. I was told about 90% of their patients can't. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

I weigh myself once a week. I know if I weighed myswlf everyday, I wouldn't see the needle move. By weighing once a week, I see the change and do not get discouraged. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi! I agree with you that Premier Protein has the best flavor. My nutritionist had no problem with it. The problem I did have was being able to consume any protein drinks since my sleeve on April 24. Nothing agrees with me. I was told to stop drinking them for about a month or two and then try again. I have also tried Ensure, Glucerna, Muscle Milk, Carnation Instant Breakfast. I was then told that 90% of their patients can't tolerate artificial sweetners. Nice finding this out after I stocked up on everything low fat, no fat. So, I have been carefully eating regular foods, finding out what agrees with me and what doesn't. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree with you AKules. Going out to eat was always a social event. I can't imagine going out and being able to enjoy food the way I used to. I was sleeved on April 24, and even though I am limited in what I can eat at the moment, the thought of sitting at a dining table, picking at other peoples plates for my meal repulses me. I can order a meal, but I will take a few bites and be done while others continue to enjoy their meals. I love my food hot and the tiny bites and how much we have to chew before swallowing, it gets cold fast. And the leftovers at home the next day just doesn't taste the same. I am with you on this subject. It will be very hard. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had problems with protein shakes also. I was sleeved on April 24 and still can't get them down. I had a bad reaction and thr Doctors office told me that 90% of their patients have an adverse reaction to artificial sweetners. I was told to stop and wait a month or two and try again.

No, not for the surgery. I was told the surgery was more like an hour. I needed a catheter because I had complications. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

My book for soft solids say lean, shaved deli meats. Perhaps you ate too much? Everybody is different. Maybe you weren't ready? When I was bumped up to soft solids I was told to go home and have a scrambled egg with a little cheese grated in. I got so sick that night, I was sure something was wrong. And I found out that the diet foods that have artificial sweetners don't agree with me either. I was told if something doesn't agree, put it away for a month or two and then try it again.

Hi! I only had my surgery on April 24, but have had problems with scrambled egg, protein drinks, anything with artificial sweetners, plain water. There are foods I desperately miss and hopefully, as time goes on, I will be able to eat them again, even in smaller portions. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app

Who the heck is telling you your uglier now? Get away from them asap. You did this for yourself, your health. Please don't listen to them. I am thinking you are their verbal punching bag and that you probably look so good now that your looks are threatening to others. Hang in there, and fine new people to hang around with.

I kept mine a secret except to my daughter and husband. I have a couple of reasons. First, it's no ones business. Second, I am embarrassed to admit I couldn't do it on my own. I ran into a couple of neighbors and they saw how poorly I looked. They didn't ask but I volunteered that it was "women" surgery, and there were complications (there were). If people ask about weight loss, just tell them you have been dieting. Again, it's nobodies business. Sent from my LG-D851 using BariatricPal mobile app
