@BayougirlMrsS, why don't we leave politics out of the discussion and focus on health and support.

@Frustr8 whatever, it was for my birthday so back off. I don’t need your judgment or condescending remarks.

You got surgery for a reason and that's to get healthier and to curb your eating habits..
You should have been prepared for these changes before surgery...

I had literally 3 sips of mimosa for my 30th birthday and got pretty hammered. It was surreal. My husband had to help me walk! I was warned it would happen but it was kind of funny. Oh well. I don’t drink a lot anyways, hardly ever. Thats probably a contributing reason why... 🤪

I was told after my 3 months to use as needed. I eventually didn’t need it, only very occasional like after I had something that was too acidic. But everyone is different. Your doc will probably put you back on it if youre still having symptoms. If you had GERD before surgery and got a sleeve, sometimes symptoms will get worse. That’s why doctors usually have patients with GERD do the bypass. Hope things get better for you. I’m sure it will.

Depending on how big of a bunch you have, I usually will do about 12 individual stalks. Roughly 16 oz. I don’t include the the middle small ones and I take out the yellow leaves bc it makes it bitter if I leave it. Hope it works for you!

With the slow masticating one, it takes me about a whole stalk of celery for about 16 ozs

I juice it myself. You can also blend it and strain it if you don’t have a juicer. I have it in the morning on an empty stomach. Warning first time may be a little gross, but not so bad afterward. Hope it helps you as much as it has helped me!!

I’m about 5 months out.

So I used to used smooth love tea which worked! But it comes with cramps and discomfort in my lower abdomen. The last two weeks. I’ve been drinking straight up celery juice in the morning and it’s worked wonders for me. I have regular BMs and I don’t have abdominal discomfort. 💩

You’ll stall here and there, your body is trying to adjust to everything. Just keep doing what you were taught. Usually if I feel I’ve stalled for too long, (1-2wks) I’ll do a few days of my pre-surgery liquid diet/1clean meal a day. And that usually moves the needle again. And I start my regular diet from there. Make sure you’re exercising and drinking your Water. That’s what going to help move things along. Also everyone is different. Dont be discouraged if youre not losing as fast as someone else. We’re all losing at our own pace. Try going to support groups if your provider has any. They’re pretty helpful.

I didn’t have a calorie limit bc I wasn’t expected to eat/drink that much. They mainly want to make sure youre getting your 60-80g of Protein. So try not to have such a high calorie diet but Plan your meals and/or drinks around your protein. When I was at your stage I think I was 500 cals or less. Can’t be too sure. I had foamies ALOT and still kind of do if I over do it or eat too fast. Post op 2/21/19. Right now I’m only able to get in 700-900 calories. Not feeling nauseous is good. I was nauseated the first 1-4 days bc of the anesthesia, but havent been nauseous since.

Keep your head up! There is nothing wrong with a slow steady weight loss. And a benefit is that your skin is more likely to catch up and shrink with you.

Getting sleeved 2/21!
