i notice i have far less burping after surgery then before..

i drink diet soda very often a year out.. no issues...

only recently in newyork are procedures like colonoscopy allowed again after months due to the coronavirus..

hmm what state are you from i'm from newyork...

after bariatric surgery it took me 1 hour each to finish a glass.. almost 9 hours to finish the jug... that is a real horror story lol..

i had my second colonoscopy in a year time.. the first colon prep was before bariatric surgery it was easier and lasted shorter .. after bariatric surgery it took me about 8 hours to finish off the prep... the prep is always the worst part of a colonoscopy.. during the colonoscopy your asleep and wake up after..the results had a few small polyps and they told me i did not have to come back for 5 years whoooooooo....

i use to use naproxen a few times a week prior to bariatric surgery .. now i pick and choose when i really need it after my sleeve surgery.. i only have used it 2 or 3 times in a year...

i had my covid test 2 days ago before my colonoscopy today. i did not have to go anywhere they came to my place.. all i had to do is put the swab up my nose 10-15 seconds that is it i was done

i have lost 110 pounds in 8 months i was 347 surgery day i am happy...

on occasion i do have a treat but can't eat much due to restriction of my stomach..

i drink diet soda every day no issues. and still losing weight...also i take nexium every day... just in case,,for any heartburn issues...my bariatric doc said i can drink diet soda i have to live my life he said.. just don't overdue it.. he also said on occasion i can take nsaid for pain..i had the sleeve 8 months ago...

trust me your hunger will return ...

i was watching the latest episode of my 600 pound life and a woman whop had a sleeve 8 years ago.. and regained weight had a sleeve revision to a sleeve again.. that something you don't usually see...

insane weight loss for 4 months i was 347 surgery day and i lost about 100 pounds in a little over 5 months.. i don't see how you can live on that by that time your hunger must have come back

i had to stop taking shakes less than 2 months due to side effects lol..

i tried some rice with small portions of beef first time after surgery some 6 and a half months later lets just say 6 or 7 spoons and i was full ... i use to remember before surgery eating a whole plate of rice and meat and never feeling full lol...

same with me only 6 months out while i can't eat huge meals like before surgery i am snacking more often then before and because of that my weight loss has slowed down to a trickle...

in a few days it has been 6 months out for me..

well even 6 months out i only ate meat a few time since on thanksgiving could be lack of meat made you give it up your preference..

my doc said i can occasionally take nsaid with the sleeve..i only take it when i am in pain due to back issues i have..

that is why i chose the sleeve evwn though i was diabetic and had gerd.. for that reason i depend on nsaid for all my aches and pains related to the obesity i carried for more than 25 years

if you do research you can tolerate nsaid if you have the sleeve.. the bypass you cannot take any nsaid..

i have had back for years before my surgery even after losing 100 pounds.. my back pain is as worse as it ever has been..

my bariatric doc and surgeon said i could take nsaid occasionally i use naproxen which is better then ibupofen

gerd can be controlled with meds.. i am living example.. i rather have that then the risk of ulcers stomach perforations nutritional deficiency and other issues related to the bypass
