Did you have bypass or sleeve? Diarrhoea would be obvious and they will taper the meds themselves and usually it stops within a day after you decrease/ stop meds

6 months out and losing 3-4 lb / month
also starting to feel hungrier

Consult doc for checking nutritional deficiencies

My puréed stage was mainly slightly thicker cream based soups with solid strained out like broccoli cheddar I managed max 1/2 cup in small sips twice a day
tuna for me was solid Phase

My doctor had me monitor sugar and bp and cut both meds

I was concerned bc it was trouble free with airfryer shrimps earlier but my impression now is body can react weirdly to things it tolerated well b4 anytime it wishes

3 months post op sleeve and since last two weeks digestion is off & on for the same food

Somedays chicken slides smoothly others it sits heavy in the stomach - this off & on has come around in the last two weeks, earlier was smooth

Concerned if this is normal - nurse says to just monitor

Thanks it’s in the centre above the belly button
feels more like indigestion. Nurse asked to keep an eye if no additional symptoms and go to er if it worsens
sne thought I may have eaten something that didn’t agree with me. I have nuggets and shrimps both air fried since few weeks but could be

Thanks praying it’s nothing as well.

I think the bigger portion and something not agreeing could be right
airfrying seafood is just dicey

Mine also wants 64 oz fluids which eeems impossible
going to get iv fluids today - will also see how my BP is bc still on ntihypertensives and low BP could cause nausea too

Oooh the bread looks wonderful

Thanks! Thanks these sound wonderful

Any suggestions for the wrap or bread? Would like something low carb w/o the aftertaste

2 month post sleeve and my diet is basically 3 oz chicken nuggets, fair life with whey, cottage cheese and handful of berries

Any idea how to introduce variety inc avacado, egg toast (best low carb bread,thin, muffin?) and more?

I think we ar meant to enjoy food - just mindfully and in moderation

Premier protein is intolerable pos op - I use fairlife/ isopure
the nausea is just worse somedays more than others

its not mechanical restriction so much as just a not wanting to drink more bc it’s plain water if that makes sense

Haven’t found a flavor enhancer I like so far
anyone have a sipping schedule (how much water to aim for in a certain period to get to 64) would be very welcome

I was allowed cream based soups with the solids picked oit
panera broccoli cheddar soup was my go to

My program advises against it on the air ground but they helped me get more fluid in preop so thinking of trying

Yes benefibre ?

Consult your team but I was told to take 8 oz water followed by 2oz milk of magnesia and then 8 oz of water and repeat thrice if it doesn’t work within an hour
they also recommend stool softeners like colas
at the end go with your doctor

Did it !!!!!! Milk of magnesia 2 oz between 4 oz of water worked but you are right it was very watery bc nothing to come out

I WAS CONCERNED About strain on stitches in stomach or skin when straining

I tried a decaf with milk - few sips day 25 post op and felt a little burp so left it off but relieved to hear the positive experiences
i guess I will let my body tell me how to go

Had mine on 5 June and transitioned to soft stage on 27 - I was hungry first week post op but the restriction kicks in asap you transition and you are full after two teaspoons
