    GradyCat got a reaction from Frustr8 in FOOD RANTING   
    I stopped taking Omeprazole about two months before my 12/11/18 surgery because you had to stop taking it for two weeks to take the pre-surgery H Pylori test and I found that I didn't need it anymore and wasn't having any acid reflux. Until AFTER surgery and now every time I lay down I get horrible acid reflux, but I don't want to start taking the Omeprazole again because I already take enough pills each day for other things. I'm hoping it'll settle down after a while on its own.

    I've got a couple of necklaces that fit around my neck now that didn't before.
    I've lost 15" in 3 weeks since surgery.
    I'm down a clothing size already.
    My face and neck look thinner.

    GradyCat got a reaction from ShrinkingTN- hopefully in T-2 days till surgery!   
    Good luck, you've got this, you're ready and other than day #1 post-op where you'll be super nauseous, it's easy peasy after that. I'm on Week 4 post-op now and back to gym, getting ready to start solid food, have lost 15 pounds and 15 inches and am looking forward to the year ahead to lose 80 more lbs

    Could it be the Vitamins on an empty stomach that's making you nauseous?

    Your statement is an inspiration to me. I don't start soft foods until Monday. I had the concern that my surgery wasn't working. I don't see much loss myself. I notice my clothing fitting different and I know that I lost over 20 lbs so far.

    I'm just now starting the soft foods phase 3 weeks post-op, and I can already tell that food makes a big difference from liquid. I can eat so very little before feeling full, which is a good feeling knowing that the surgery has worked. I've lost 15 pounds and 16 inches already in 21 days, so I know it's working and will continue to work if I just be patient and follow the program.

    I'm still in the soft foods phase post--op just 12/11, so I'm digging on sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free pudding

    I had gastric sleeve 12/11/18 and I've been getting a little when I lay down, but not when I'm awake and sitting up.

    I just had my surgery 12/11/18, so this is my first full day back home from the hospital. So far I'm having no trouble getting liquids down and some sugar free pudding and sugar free popsicles too. I did worry though because I'm 2 pounds heavier than before surgery, but I figure my body's been stressed and holding on to everything it's getting for now because I starved it for two days post-op. Hang in there, this is about the long-term, not the short-term. I was regretting the surgery on post-op day #1 because of the severe nausea, but one day later things were so much better and I feel like a human being today.

    I bought them all in chewable form at GNC but they weren't cheap

    Yes, I'm in the East End of Louisville, KY. I went through Norton Weight Loss Management and had my gastric sleeve surgery 12/11/18, just 18 days ago. It has been an easy process so far, no pain, no problems. I've lost roughly 15 pounds since surgery already in 18 days and look forward to losing 80-100 more in the next 12 months.

    I'm still in liquid phase, just starting soft foods phase 18 days post-op. I'm drinking GNC Lean shakes (chocolate), eating cottage cheese, and have eaten a couple of scrambled eggs. Sam's Club offers a fruit-punch flavored clear Protein Drink by Premiere Protein. Thinned oatmeal is okay in liquid phase and has some protein

    I'm drinking premade GNC Lean shakes with 25g Protein per 14 oz shake. I'm 15 days post-op. I like the chocolate ones. I also bought some Pure Protein Clear Shakes at Sam's Club (premade) that are fruit punch flavored
