  1. Most of my gas was through burping! Didn’treally expect that. Thought it would come the other way! Lol.
  2. I’m single, so I don’t know your exact place, but of course you’re not going to expect kids to change their diets. I was on liquids over Christmas and I skipped my family celebration bc it mainly revolves around dinner. It’s super hard, and they don’t understand what you’re feeling. You may have to just go elsewhere while they’re eating, or have your gf pick up fast food on her own. Sorry this is going on. ?
  3. Oh no! Not what I want to hear! I’m taking multivitamins and biotin trying to curb hair loss. My hair is so thin already. I did read some good reviews of Keranique on the Ulta website.
  4. I don’t see why not. Sounds like a pretty good idea to me!
  5. Everyone swears that walking is the best thing for the gas. Not sure if that worked for me or not, but it helped with the soreness.
  6. I think part of pre-op dieting is getting it in your head that food is NOT something that you need to turn to all the time. It hit me during my liquid only pre-op. I see people on here who cry at the thought of not eating like they previously had, but that’s kind of the point. I know I can eventually eat the things I love (I want tacos so fn bad right now) but I have to change my relationship with food first. Good luck! ?
  7. I hope so, too! Take it easy!
  8. That’s exactly how I was right after surgery. They tried to get me to eat a red popsicle and drink some red Powerade. I threw it up. Looked like blood and I freaked out! Funny now, wasn’t funny then! Glad you did well!
  9. I only had to do liquids for a week post-surgery, then I got to move to puréed food. Almost everything is hard to keep down. Puréed chicken salad, scrambled eggs - all came right back up. I did have a couple of Doritos that my nephew didn’t eat, but I mostly just sucked on them until they dissolved. Vienna sausages go down pretty well. A deviled egg. Lentil soup. My mom made some crockpot beef veggie soup that I tolerated pretty good. I think it’s trial or error with me.
  10. Idk what’s worse... being stopped up, or being like me - floodgates are open! ? Hope everyone finds some comfort.
  11. I’ve ordered the soups. They’re good, and pretty filling. I got the variety pack first, then ordered whole boxes of the beef and chicken bullion.
  12. I’m about the same as you. Very disappointed. Going for my two week appointment tomorrow.
  13. I threw up a scrambled egg this morning. I can’t decide if I’m throwing up bc I’m eating too much or eating too fast. I know it’s not bc I’m not chewing enough.
  14. I would think you’d be ok. Just make sure you’re getting plenty of liquids before and after your surgery! Kidney problems are no joke!
  15. My stomach gargles likes crazy any time I have anything that’s not liquid!
  16. I started the next day. HEAVY! And for like a week, when I’m never more than 3 Days!
  17. I take small sips to wash my mouth out.
  18. I teach 4th grade. I had the first week off for holidays (sleeved 12/28) and I took another week.
  19. BariatricPal has some soups that I liked. I got the variety pack. They were good when I was sick of sweet shakes.
  20. You can absolutely do it! If I can do it, I’m pretty sure anyone can!
  21. Best wishes and prayers to you!
  22. Slippers are a must have. The non-skid kind. I was only in for one night. Chapstick was the most used item I brought!
  23. It was like three weeks after insurance approved me that I got sleeved! Insurance was the hard part!
