That sounds like a good idea, I've been thinking of timing to get my snacks in two hours after a meal sounds reasonable thanks for replying! Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm pretty strict about food and recently figured out I can't be as strict as I'd like. I've given myself liberty to have one treat in a week so I'm glad not the only one who feels like I shouldn't be doing that!

That's a good idea! Every two to three hours, yeah my doctor originally said no snacks. Since last month though my stomach doesn't tolerate hardly anything well without the help of medicine so we are trying this snack thing.

I am almost 4 months out and I can only eat about 1 ounce of food per meal and snack. My situation may be different my stomach no longer empties all the way so I have to break my food into very small portions! Always a good idea to measure out your food though just to be safe ya mnow Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my sleeve done almost 4 months ago and have lost over 60 pounds since then. If you total up my pre-op weight loss I've lost over 100 pounds all together now. I was on the pre-op diet for three weeks! Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

I've dealt with depression and anxiety for a long time as well, since I was in middle school now after surgery at 23 years old I feel like my anxiety has hit harder now, as well as my depression that rears it's dreary head. I can't offer much solace, (I can offer support) but I do hope things start looking up for you soon! Even doing small things should help, maybe a nice stroll out to the backyard to smell fresh air. Just a small idea ~ Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

So my doctor told me it seemed like my stomach can't handle much food at all. Which is kind of understandable, he told me to eat several snacks through out the day keep them small, and space them out between meals. Do any of you snack? Any ideas on how to notice when it's time to eat?? Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have had an endoscopy sometime last month, it showed up normal but I know things can be overlooked, I may ask about a stricture with my next appointment. Thank you! Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

That's what I feel like to, I have to take medicine specific to nausea three to four times a day. I feel like that's a bit extreme and something has to be going on but my doctor thinks otherwise. Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

As far as eating, you're eating things I can't tolerate at all. Even adding flavor to water still makes me sick enough to throw up. My doctor has agreed I'm eating things that are totally fine for the stage I'm at, now I just have to eat less than I already am.

Oh my goodness I imagine that's painful and a bit of an irritation. I read somewhere that that can be common after getting sleeved. I hope everything goes okay for you! I just can't catch a break either[emoji24] Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

That's a good mantra, I need to keep telling myself that too. Two of my vitamins are low and my stomach still won't empty on its own so more meds for that, no food for the next few days for me I need more water because the doctor said my nausea could be due to dehydration. So it's just a matter of trying to pin point the problem. I hope it starts to get easier for you soon, I keep thinking and saying "I regret this it wasn't worth it" but it will be, I won't die young from a heart attack like all the women on my biological fathers side. I hope it gets easier for you! Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

I may try something like that, my doctor has told me to stop my vitamins and use a patch to help get rid of the nausea he feels the vitamin is a huge contributor to that. I think I have problems with the capsule part of the pills so maybe from here on I should sprinkle it on applesauce instead. Thanks for responding!

Thank you so much! My doctor has put me on blood thinners for the clot, I may try and go back to homemade soups and chili for a while. Thanks for including the recipes that will be really helpful! I do typically walk for at least ten minutes so I can make sure I keep my blood flowin as they say. Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app

I've never had that infection pylori, maybe I should be checked. My fluid intake is fine as is my protein and vitamins. I have to take Tylenol for the pain from my blood clot when it gets to much to handle, otherwise I don't take NSAIDs. If I waited two hours to drink I'd be up way to late to drink all my water. I eat very tiny amounts throughout the day, which my doctor said is fine until I hit around one year post op because it's taking me so long to adjust. He seems to think it's my diet as well but I'm not sure why, I don't eat sugar at all anymore I avoid high fats and I don't eat bread or the likes anymore I also still use protein shakes usually one to two a day.so I don't think it's my diet at all. I had a problem with my stomach not emptying all the way causing bile build up and the food to remain in my stomach and took a medicine to help that but now I'm getting the same symptoms back. I'll mention the pylori thing at my next appointment. Sent from my LG-LS777 using BariatricPal mobile app
