4-5 weeks post food consumption yucky feel
You can water the shakes down to taste. As long and you drink the full amount it will satisfy your protein requirements. Bonus is it will also work towards satisfying your hydration requirements Good Luck ♥️

Post Op gastric sleeve with GERD
If you're not in a rush and your Surgeon believes you can wait, why not try? But please remember GERD testing can tell you how severe your situation is and how quickly you need to act. Good Luck ♥️

If you were already approved, talk to your team to see if surgery can be postponed vs cancelled.

?Jan surgery countdown?
I barely felt anything from my lift too. All of the pain was from the TT which definitely still felt painful at 1 week post for me. I went home around day 8 or 9 and after 2 weeks I felt much better.

sleeve in 2010 now revision to RNY due to complications
I think it's very similar. I think the progression through the food staged are the same. You may experience dumping or not. You may initially loose weight from the surgery but you can maintain your weight if you are diligent (or gain weight if you are not careful) You may also have a different type of full sensation (or lack thereof) Recovery may be similar to your first WLS or slightly faster (especially if this will be done laparoscopically) since it will correct a problem. Good Luck ♥️

For me : Original WLS of VSG - tightness or pressure in chest/esophagus/throat , inability to take "one more bite" and no interest in finishing. Conversion to RNY - Bored with eating followed by heaviness in the lower abdomen, slight tightness in throat after a while, disgusted at the thought of "one more bite".- Food Before and After Photos

Yay! Glad everything is going so well ?- ?Jan surgery countdown?
No. I didn't have a history of clots so my Plastic Surgeon didn't order them. But I did receive them after both WLS because (I think) it was standard for the practice but only while in the hospital. I didn't have to inject myself.- When you can't finish your meal
Hi! I haven't heard of this before. Can you link any information on where you found this, please and thank you ♥️- Feeling sick, freezing and overheated at the same time... 8 days out from RNY
Definitely check in with your Team when anything changes, but no fever is usually a really good sign. Feeling flushed especially in waves is common and a lot of us feel cold all the time. Sometimes the temperature of what you're drinking can make a difference on whether or not it will sit well. If you started feeling sick after you moved to the next food stage, maybe it's an intolerance to something you recently added. Are you still taking anti-nausea meds, PPIs that were prescribed to you? Sorry you're in Regretville but hopefully you'll be out of it soon ♥️- ChubRub's Plastic Surgery Thread
Awwww, Let the surgeon give you 650s ?, joking do whatever makes you happy. Since there's no fat to lipo that's even better for easier healing. Congratulations so excited for you !- ?Jan surgery countdown?

Which brand? Do you like it?- When you can't finish your meal
Yes eating around the surgery is definitely possible and a scary thought but the fact that you're thinking about it and being cautious is probably a good sign ♥️- When you can't finish your meal
Please take other people's experiences with a grain of salt. Sometimes people who disclose things on public platforms don't necessarily give all of the details. There may be other reasons missing from the story of what let that specific content creator to regain. If I cannot finish something, I either store it for the next meal or throw it away. Food waste is a concern for me as well but I prefer it to overeating in one sitting or trying to eat something that did not hold up well in storage. Good Luck ️ ❤️- So....I got approved!!!!
