I'm nearly 2 weeks post op. Am having nausea at times that is very unpleasant and there has been no change to what I'm eating. Is this still normal? What are other's experiences with nausea? Does it settle? How long did it take? Or is this something we have to put up with? Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I still get nauseous with eggs and too much sugar Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

What happened??? A picc line and TPN??? Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

How is everyone going? I'm starting to lose hair...this also happened a couple of years ago after my sleeve surgery. My eating has improved..still struggling with eating slowly...a very hard new habit to form. I can eat 1/2 to 3/4 cup at a time without too much difficulty. I have 22 lbs to lose to reach a "healthy weight". For the past 2 weeks I have only lost 1/2 lb. I have had some chocolate/ christmas food. Pretty happy with my results but would really like to reach my goal weight. Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm needing some encouragement re exercise. I'm not doing much at all. I've been really tired. What is everyone else doing for exercise? Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I've been doing some reading and it looks like it's normal to plateau...i guess i worry this is all I'm going to lose....but it hasn't been that long. I really hope you start losing again too. We so much want this to work!!! Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

Haven't lost any weight for over a week. Anyone else experienced this? Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I have lost 30 pounds since surgery Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

That's such great news! I'm finding it's still working well for me too Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm nearly 8 weeks out and i feel that things have only just started to settle down. I saw my nutritionist/ dietitian and my surgeon last week and it went well. I told them how i was struggling to get in all my protein and also how i wasn't able to eat anything else because i was so full. She suggested that i have a bite of protein then a bite of vegies and keep alternating like that rather than just fill up on protein. It has made the world of difference to me...I'm not sure why! I'm eating more and a larger variety and the protein foods aren't becoming stuck or causing reflux. And I'm not as bored. Not sure if this helps but it was definitely the right advice for me. I'm still struggling with slowing down my eating though!! Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I definitely have different responses to the same foods on different days...and they taste differently too. I don't vomit but can get reflux. I also can't do dense meat or eggs. Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

Hit a stall...anyone else? Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

That all sounds extremely difficult. So glad you're surviving through it all. When is your next gastroscopy? Are you able to keep anything down without vomiting? I really hope your living situation improves soon Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I think I'm still eating too quickly and also I'm realising that if i eat any meat it has to be moist!!!! Tried turkey mince and chewed it really well but still felt like it was stuck in the back of my throat and chest...i was really hungry so ate a bit too quickly....took a long time to settle. Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms? Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

One thing I'm learning from this group is that we all struggle with the eating after our surgery and we are all so different. I guess i think that we should all have been given guidelines by our nutritionists/dietitians that have some basic principles. These should be fairly basic....our bodies need protein, water, some carbs and fat and vitamins and minerals. If we aim for basic targets I'm thinking we'll be ok. I know these targets are hard to reach right now but we are still babies when it comes to this journey. Right now fluid is the number one priority then protein. And this is hard! Frustr8 you have had a very difficult journey....harder than most...and none of it is your fault. It's harder for you to hit these targets right now but it will happen...they won't leave you like this. Then you can start hitting the bullseye!! You've got this...i pray it all gets sorted soon for you [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I thought I'd try egg again and see if it was ok a few more weeks down the track...and no it didn't....I'm thinking they might be out for good as i didn't like the taste as well as making me sick! Ughh Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

Have you had your 2nd gastroscopy? How'd it go? Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

The one reliable food for me that I'm always tolerating is cheese!!! Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I've just ordered some Peptipro...hopefully it is ok. Thanks for the tip! Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

Hit my first stall. Thanks for the above article..it was very helpful! Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I'd be really interested in what your doctor says [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm pretty much getting more than half my prorein requirements from a big protein shake that takes me about 3 hours to sip through. I'm only managing 1/4 cup of food two to 3 times a day...i guess that's ok....just not what i had expected...hard to adjust to. Not a fan of the taste of the protein shake but it does help with the fluid requirements too Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

Almost 6 weeks post op. Still struggling to get in daily protein and water...is anyone else still struggling like this? Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree...i probably eat too fast at dinner because I'm hungry by the end of the day....then i get the "I'm full" feeling too late...I've overate. Then the food feels like its sitting in the back of my throat. Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app
