Glad it helped. It does cause some uncomfortable cramping that I have breathe through. My scale went up to 184, so I know I need to have a bowel movement since it has been almost a week. I did not drink my Smooth Move last night. Today, it is on my menu.

hi guys. bit of an up and down weekend. and i find, when i go out to eat and pick at a bunch of random crap, not only do i usually feel icky (tummy) but i also don't lose. so yesterday i couldn't eat much cuz i felt icky so i had Soup in my little 4oz container (came to 3.5oz), some peaches, a sugar free popsicle and 1/2 Protein shake. it's all i could really muster. i lost a pound which is great we'll see how i do today.

good luck today everyone. xoxo

I have not gone out to eat yet. I just don't trust what they are putting in the food, plus it is expensive to eat out and I need all my money for my new "future" clothes.

Think is is fine to go from soft foods back to liquids as needed. We are pushing our sleeves now. I am very aware of my sleeve getting full. I get the burping feeling and I know I don't want to puke so I heed the call to STOP.

I am still struggling trying to get my water/liquids other than Protein shakes. I am trying to sip sip sip, but I am not good at it.

agreed. the Water is very hard. going out to eat sucks anyways right now so you're not missing out. and i do find that i am being cautious - like there is this amazing chocolate cake here at work. i had a couple bites last week at a going away party but i'm not gonna touch it again.

i had this thought last night that this was kinda like a game and i could make a little tiny hamburger with french fries (4oz worth) and it would be adorable and then i thought WTF Mila. no. you still have to make good choices and then when you're skinny you can make your mini burger thing like once a week lol. smh.

so while the sleeve is a tool - you really have to still make good choices. so yay us. xo

hey gang. so. i feel like im having trouble eating. not only cuz i don't feel well most of the time. (which by the way im used to from having gastritis for the last 20 years) but also like i can't even get more than a few bites of food down lately. like today i've had 4oz of tea, like five bites of cottage cheese and about five bites of refried Beans and i feel shitty. like it's in my throat and i just don't feel good.

got a headache. feel icky. little nauseous. im about 15oz of Water in. i feel like i need a break like to sleep for a week or something. idk what's up.

Pitbulgirl call your doctor and get in and get checked out. There can be a stricture (narrowing) in your sleeve. It is treatable by stretching. Please get checked out. Prayers going up for you.

[pr_pitbullgrl 1,039]

it's weird cuz im drinking fine. but food just is like icky right now. i dont think im taking small enough bites but also i feel like shit. don't even wanna eat. gonna get some more pepcid tonight cuz im running out.

I have heard of stricture.

How are you doing on your GERD/GERD prevention meds?

I did a search on google many posts from bariatricpal and obesityhelp popped up.

Call your doc like @@retrieverguy said, better safe than sorry!

What is gerd?

I think I have a Migraine

[pr_pitbullgrl 1,039]

Oh acid reflux. Well I'm taking my omeprazole

[retrieverguy 411]

I think I am going to make some sugar free Jell-O shots tonight.

[retrieverguy 411]

Thought I would lighten up this thread. It's been a little intense in here.

Jello shots sound good.

I am having some Smooth Move this morning to try and not get backed up.

I am back down to 183 after a move back up yesterday.

Hopefully I can get more steps in today.

Thinking about Breakfast. eggs are ok with my sleeve and quick.
