    Took me six months before eggs didn't give me pain or make me sick. Put them aside for a couple of weeks and then try again.

    You're not crazy. You're brave. I'm sorry you feel you have no support. Lots of other people here will tell you similar stories. You are not alone. Good luck!

    jcb123 reacted to Newme17 in How many people have GERD and get a sleeve anyway?   
    I dealt with it pretty bad pre-op; I had a chronic cough as well (usually after I ate). Had the sleeve. Took the ppi’s for a few weeks and ran out. Haven’t had any meds since, nor GERD or the annoying cough. I’m just shy of 6 months post now. I give my thanks to God above (my personal belief) knowing the stats of it and having a sleeve. I just believed and prayed that it wouldn’t be an issue for me. So, my prayer has been answered.

    Jcb - if you have some white vinegar put a tablespoon in the simmering Water before you drop the egg in. It will help keep the egg together in the water. Either way I hope it tastes good for you.

    I just wanted to share my excitement with all of you who are pre-op. I am down 17lbs in just 10 days after surgery (this does not include any weight loss prior to surgery because I didn't have a weight loss because I was not required to diet prior to surgery). YOU CAN DO THIS!!! All the pain and the hunger and the worry, it's ALL WORTH IT!!!!!!! Keep striving towards your goal, we can all get there and this surgery is the way to do that!!!!

    Pre-op surgery November 27th I'm nervous. I want so desperately to lose the weight and keep it off this time. I'm doing this by myself and I wish I had someone to exercise with. My goal is I just want to be able to run again. Even at the age of 50. My kids are all grown up. And I just want to do something for me to start my life over

    Apple juice is a clear liquid. It's good in an emergency, but try and make a plan with your team if it keeps happening. You don't want to invite reactive hypoglycemia to the table. (The sugar will bring up your blood sugar, but without a slower-digesting carb, it'll probably crash again).
    Are you diabetic?

    I was sick for the first four months after surgery. I think I was just experiencing healing mentally, physically and emotionally.

    My biggest challenge was alcohol. Once I started, I went too far. I recently quit & don't miss it.
    As time has gone on, my weight loss slowed, stopped, & I gained some back. I'm actively working to change that.

    Not really. I'd have to start really overeating to pack on much more. My weight has been steady for months.
    Instead of spending brainpower worry about regaining, I'll spend brainpower working on how to lose more.

    I had my surgery Oct 27th. I woke up from the surgery starving! And I've stayed hungry ever since. I soft scrambled and egg yesterday, placed it in low sodium beef broth and chewed it to death for about an hour. I was able to eat the entire egg without complications....Egg Lover also

    I just began puréed stage yesterday.
    This morning I had a poached egg. I cut it in small bits and ate it. It was deliscious and I felt fine.
    My surgeon told me to poach it because no grease is used. It’s just pure egg.
    I hope it changes for you and eggs become more tolerable.

    I am 12 days post op and I have been nauseous for the past week non stop. Has anyone else experienced this or know what I can do to stop it? It's such a horrible feeling.

    I understand the regret stage. I made a video on it. I just had to get how I was feeling out then. Being 8 months out, I would not take it back for anything. I love how active I am now.
    Its the first month but it gets easier. Things do get better.
