    Three Months

    I am a few weeks away from my 3 month anniversary and still struggle with an upset stomach when I eat. I also have the "foamies" and wondered if anyone has found anything that helps with that? I no longer take Tums or Pepto. Should I start with them again? I do take Prilosec daily though. Protein seems to upset my stomach the most. Question: How are you all doing with eating cooked vegetables with skins on them? Should I peel first? I haven't tried any yet and am worried about how my tummy will respond to peelings even though they are cooked. I love me some grilled succinic!

    June 2022 surgery buddies

    My surgery was 4/13/22. I was SO scared and worried but YOU CAN DO THIS! I'm down 30 since surgery and a total of 45 since my initial visit with the surgeon. There are days when I struggle to eat without an upset tummy and days when I do so well! All in all, it is a lifestyle change but one that is a positive change. I'm already off my BP meds and hope to drop cholesterol medication next! Working on a healthier you is the best way to move yourself forward. I wish you ALL the best! Stay positive, ask questions, share your progress, and you'll do amazingly well!

    bread

    I'm just 5 weeks post-op but some of the women in our own small "self created" support group (we met walking laps after surgery) are already using low carb wraps and tolerating well. I can barely tolerate 3oz of protein with no veggies or carbs once a day. I am supplementing with protein added to everything I drink and shakes. I understand that people are different but can I try either a low carb wrap or one of the low carb breads at this point or should I wait? I do have the diet plan suggested by my program but several are trying new things a littler earlier and doing well.
