I’m so sorry you’re going through this. May I suggest marriage counseling if your spouse isn’t supporting you. This is a lot to deal with. Wish you the best

Thank you so much. It’s been a difficult road. I wish your friend the best as well.

?Has anyone dealt with weight can after cancer treatment? I have breast cancer and from the chemo and steroids I’ve gained 20 pounds after 5 years of maintaining. I’ve also had to have a complete hysterectomy so menopause was added. How do I get the weight off??

I’ve gained 15-20 due to chemo, steroids and forced menopause and have no idea how to start with the loss

Did your surgeon use a dietician? If so maybe use that one. My surgeon has a wonderful that works with both spectrums of weight along with diabetes. Just a thought. Good luck to you

If I’m not mistaken they normally step you down to every other day and then every two days. He should be giving you guidance. I personally never restarted mine back after surgery.

Four years out and no problems, each doctor is different but mine let me have it post op day 2

Hey all, I am 22 months about and was getting my work up for a tummy tuck only to find out I’m pregnant! Besides being freaked out by the fact that I’m having a baby at 42 after a gastric sleeve.... I’m surprised and getting used to the idea. My major concern is how will this progress? At 22 months out I am still eating 4 ounces three times a day averaging about 750-900 calories has anyone gotten pregnant? Any issues?

I make adult lunchables turkey and cheese or ham nuts, platters (super small) with a few olives, pepperoni, hard salami, cheese and grapes, beef jerky, ready made protein shakes frozen as my ice, tuna packets with the mayo and relish in it so you can mix in your own. I also find things on Pinterest

Thanks for all the input! I’m going to try some of these

I am a year and 1 month out and I have horrible dry skin. Even after exfoliating it’s dry and flaky. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m also motioning twice a day. This is horrible.

Really??? So that’s really a thing? I’m intrigued yet mortified. Research time!

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not! ???

I had coffee pre and post op during the clear liquid phase. Old school said no caffeine because of increased heart burn and dehydration. Now it depends on the doctors and nutritionist. My only restriction was it had to be black.

I had severe gerd before my sleeve I was on 2 PPIs and antiemetics. During my scope I wasn’t found to have a huge hernia (that somehow wasn’t missed by my GI doctor) I am 1 year post op and haven’t taken anything since.

I am off of all of my meds for GERD. I did have a hernia repaired with my sleeve and it was the best thing ever.

Contact your doctor. Today he told me it was ok for my excedrin migraine. I’m one year out. Before that he only allowed Tylenol

You summed that up wonderfully.

I eat what ever I want, except bread and regular pasta, without any problems. I just eat of of a smaller plate or split with my niece or nephew when we go out.

what are some of your goals for someone 5'5"? My starting weight was 278 (280) One year ago and I am 162 as of today. I originally said 165... Just want some thoughts. I just updated my goal to 145 pounds. Thanks!

I am going to follow you! That looks amazing

I would suggest going back to your original plan. For my fist 6 months I had a really strict plan. Oh! And contact your nutritionist for help. Good luck.
