go to "My Surgery" and then My Progress and i think from there is updates it automatically

I hear you but my gripe is mangos and bananas, allergic to both and its so annoying just about every juice/ smoothie has them in it. I must admit over here in Australia we don't get a lot of capsicum ( Peppers) in our frozen meals ..........touch wood, but banana and mango are in everything other than savory dishes of course.

oh yes at 8 weeks out it probably is a bit much usually they say 1 cup of food per meal at this stage, doesnt sound like much but it actually is a fair amount

How far out are you?, I am 7 months out and that is roughly the amount I Can eat too. I can eat almost all of a 2 egg omelette with baby spinach, tomatoes, cheese and bacon in it.

I am the same as you, its a bit frustrating.

I use to measure and weigh my food but I just go by sight now or I use the recommended serving size on the packets if it comes in a packet.

I agree with Catwoman and I am putting my money on the gum, stop chewing for a week and see what happens

Same thing happened to my surgery buddy, she had a stall at 5 months and has only just starting losing again at the 7 month mark. all normal hang in there, don't give up

I am 7 months out and I still cant tell, I could in the early days say the 3 month mark but now nope I am just guessing when I have had enough and sometimes I think I eat to much but I just don't feel any restriction the way others describe it

the stomach seems to be the most stubborn and last place for the fat to move from I am 30kg down happy with everything except my darn stomach yes its smaller but still holding onto a lot of fat. but I think you will be fine you are more active than me. I am yet to step foot in a gym or do any planned exercise.................slack I know.

wow thats is totally different to my surgery requirements its good though that they are taking extra precautions. Are you going from sleeve to Bypass? good luck with it all

To add to what catwoman said another reason people revise to a bypass is weight gain which I would imagine to be the biggest reason

yes it would be nice to be able to chat to people directly

really where and what topics are they ?

BIG HUGS, we all felt like **** to start and wonder wt have I done to myself, it gets better though in 6 months time you will be super pleased with yourself and feeling great

agree, most surgeons say a year at least

Morning were my worst early on and some mornings are still hard. I found if i had a snack before bed i felt better in the mornings

Hello and Welcome

I got a very heavy period straight after surgery and i hadn't had a period for 6 months prior to that (peri-menopause).The surgery does muck your hormones up a fair bit but obviously if you are concerned ask your Dr.

I use to love chat rooms, but for some reason all chat rooms were banned quiet a few (Over 15 years ) ago. the only places you can chat live now are within online games such as second life but even that is different to a chat room but can be good fun as you have an avatar and you can "hang out" with friends while you chat .

Sounds like she is trying to find reasons to keep you seeing her ( milking as much money as she can) I find what you are telling us a bit disturbing. Maybe confide in one of the other team members you trust cause as you can see none of us experienced what you are going through and it would be worth seeing if they agree with her methods

yes it is hard and its ok to stay on softer foods a bit longer too. Not sure what you call tuna salad, but tuna is high in protein so I wouldn't imagine its a slider food. I made a salad of chopped baby spinach leaves, cubed watermelon, crumbled feta cheese and a nice dressing it was nice . I ate chicken before steak and the steak I do eat is good quality tender meat .

I wouldn't be doing raw veggies just yet, take it slow. Something you will be able to eat fine and others not so good. with the not so good ones try again in a couple of weeks it can take up to 6 months to be able to eat "anything". I tried to have something new each day didn't always turn out good keep your portions small and chew really well. My team said the 20, 20 ,20 rule. chew 20 times, wait 20 seconds for the next bite and stop eating after 20 mins so what you didn't eat in 20 mins that's it no more. mind you I break that rule all the time especially if it something yummy. what you eat is up to you obviously dont go back to your old unhealthy habits. A good go to for me was cruskits with tuna mixed with mayo. I still have it now if i am not sure what i feel like but need to eat something. steak and salad is a favourite of mine now. omelettes are another good option in the early days

It Does get better, that taste in your mouth goes away its from reflux, are you on nexium or anything for reflux ? if not that will help it may also help with nausea.it took about 2 to 3 months for that taste to go away for me. you will be able to eat your favourites again but you may not feel like it which is a good thing . I have started eating my favourites again (in moderation of course) and in the puree stage I had KFC mash and gravy. I had such a deep seated regret after surgery too, In fact I was a mess for 5 months, thank goodness I am doing really well now and you will too ?
