My doctor said it's a weird form of acid reflux. I am taking Omeprazole currently as needed. It is now only happening occasionally.

So I was told that natural butter was better to use than say....margarine. And I haven't had any issues so far. But I read to avoid it. Though I thought butter, real butter, was better to grease a pan for say, eggs, rather than processed stuff like in margarine. Thoughts?

Of course! I don't think I could even do more than a couple anyways. But a treat would be nice once in a while! If my stomach says no, at least I tried and then I will know to avoid it!

Has anyone tried the Skinny Girl products? Besides the name choice, I love them. I love the raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing and the sea salt and lime popcorn! Anyone try them, or have suggestions for other things I haven't tried yet?

Ahhh yes. Hummus is addicting haha! I also love mild guacamole....mmmm and we found superlow cal low sugar crab dip too! I am definitely going to try that greek yogurt/ranch dip idea! Thank you!

What are some good bariatric veggie dips?

Interesting, never been a coffee drinker but I'll try it!

Haven't tried Crystal Light since right after surgery, may be worth a go again!

Ohhh thank you! I will have to try it!

Either Splenda or the unsweetened tea I got from Dunkin made me sick. After added Splenda. I will look for those. Thank you!

Hey! As much as I love water, it gets boring. What are some sweeter beverages that are good for you after VSG? I can't seem to handle tea due to needing to add sugar, and I am not sure if juice of any kind is allowed. Have you guys had success with anything? For parties and such?

Had some last night! It was sooo good. No issues. I had 4 slices of shrimp sashimi and 4 slices of salmon nigiri with my gluten free low sodium soy sauce! Took about 1.5-2 hours to finish it but I did it! No pain at all just might have had a TIIIINY bit too much on the first day trying it post-op. Felt awesome having it again. Thanks again guys!

Thank you!!

Thank you guys so much!! If I do have regular sushi at some point with rice, should I always avoid white rice and get brown instead? I read in some other threads that white rice has given multiple people a lot of trouble.

They have not mentioned sushi at all and I can't call til Monday. I just don't wanna mess up. :/
