I am currently 2 & 1/2 Months Post-Op (had surgery on 5/13/19). I am an Alumness Consultant to the Technology Student Association at my former high school, so I wore this today while volunteering at their Open House. I feel great! ?

Luckily, I hadn’t experienced any vomiting before this morning (I’ve also been feeling perfectly fine after the experience; I even went for a run). It appears that you have a tough stomach since you haven’t thrown up in more than 50 years, so I think that you should be fine! However, there will be some foods your stomach just can’t tolerate anymore. It’s too bad that there is no strict list of foods that we should know to stay away from, as all of our bodies react differently, so we all have to learn the hard way ☹️ Good luck on your surgery though! ?

Hello Everyone! So I am currently 2 Months and a Half Post-Op from my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (5/13/19). So far, I have had a great recovery and have had no problems getting food down. Today though, I threw up for the first time in this whole entire journey. I ate a Dill Pickle wrapped in Ham and Cheese. Is it normal for my first vomit experience to have come this late into my journey? Could it have been the acid in the vinegar from the pickle? What do you all think?

Hello Everyone! I wanted to seek out some advice from you all, as I am worrying about my weight stall/gain. I am currently 10 Weeks Post-Op (2 Months) and I have been exercising (Swimming and Running) everyday for at least 2 hours since I was 3 Weeks Post-Op. I am very responsible with my diet and I carefully watch my portions. 3 days ago I was 251.0 lbs and now I’m back to being 253.8 lbs. Why am I at this weight stall/gain? Am I doing something wrong? I personally feel a lot stronger and I have noticed muscle gain in my arms and legs, but could muscle really make me stall that much? I also had a lot of nerve pain near my biceps last night, could that be due to muscle gain? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you! ❣️

I use one Glycerin Suppository in the morning and one at night, everyday! It helps me tremendously with the constipation and gas pains. ??

I got this Cauliflower Crusted Pizza recipe from YouTube and decided to make it; it was delicious! May I add, this is my first time cooking something that isn’t soup or mac n’ cheese. I decided to cut the portions in half since I’m sleeved. This Cauliflower Pizza is super simple and delicious! Ingredients: - Cheese Grater - 1 Cup of Grated Cauliflower - 1/2 Egg - 1/2 Cup Parmesean - Pizza Sauce - Mozzarella - Spinach - 4 Sliced Cherry Tomatoes Recipe Link: https://youtu.be/XaCYSX5WE5M

that is kind of scary to me, given the ease with which the sleeve can be damaged during healing. All of the veggies I have eaten are cooked until they’re soft, so everything has been perfectly fine. My program is okay with it and my body has gladly welcomed all of the food as well. ?

I had my VSG surgery on 5/13 and I have been swimming since 5/28. I feel great! ?

Omg really?!?!? 1 week?!?! I'm still on liquids &3 weeks later pureed foods so still not solids. I thought it was cause your stomach couldn't handle it??? How did your pouch respond? My stomach has been perfectly fine! I feel great ? (Just as a side note, I had VSG)

My Bariatric Surgery Book (written/given to me by my surgeon and nutritionist) says that I can eat that one week after my surgery. I had my VSG Surgery on 5/13/19 and have been been eating all of those veggies and fruits since 5/20/19. Everything has gone smoothly for me so far. ??

I am 19 (was 18 during surgery) and I understand what you mean; pay no mind to it, though. No one should be giving their opinions to your life weight loss decisions, especially if they’ve never cared enough to help you in your past weight loss attempts. You do you! I feel great after my weight loss surgery (I’m 2 Weeks Post-Op / Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) and if you’re serious about getting surgery, you will too! ?

Hello Everyone! I am currently 2 Weeks Post-Op and I was wondering if any of you could help me with some lingering nutritional questions that I have. Q1: I love to put one tablespoon of steak sauce on my chicken when I eat, it keeps me from getting bored. Do any of you eat steak sauce regularly; how has that gone for you? If you eat chicken with other sauces, let me know! (Hot Sauces are welcomed ?) Q2: Do you all recommend the Body Armor drink? Or should I stay away from it? I used to drink them and bought one again, as it has a lot of vitamins and tastes good. What do you all think? Q3: Do any of you still eat pasta after surgery? I love pasta, but I know it’s an empty carb. If you don’t eat pasta, what substitutes do you all recommend? Feel free to answer any of the questions. Also, if any of you have some healthy recipes that you eat, let me know! Thank you! ❤️
