Call your surgeon. You may need meds or could possibly have a stricture.

I was done on the 19th. I'm on purée foods now. Everything has been fine so far. I can eat fine. Purée chicken really fills be up. I can only eat about 2 oz. other food like yogurt or cottage cheese I can eat a bit more. I'm down 19 lbs since surgery. I also lost 15 lbs on the pre-op diet that started May 9th. I'm down 34lbs in 30 days. It's great, but I'm sure it will slow down drastically once I start eating more

I've heard it speeds up when you eat more

Hello everyone. We all should be at one month now or a little past it. How are things going? Are you able to tolerate most foods

[kmorri 1,689]

I'm doing generally well but am relying on Pepcid to sleep. Without it, I have a lot of GERD. Anyone else have reflux issues?

Today is Day 30! My story so far: I went back to work for two days during the second week. Then back full time at start of the third. Been on high Protein, low-carb, low-fat solids since Day 12. Enjoying the ground meats (chicken, Beef and Turkey) prepared in a crock pot with veggies. Broiled salmon steaks are another favorite, and cold cuts and cottage cheese have been staples for Breakfast. I stick rigorously to the no liquid 30 mins before and after eating (so nerdy I have a phone app timer) and usually take about 30-45 mins to eat 4oz meals. Getting used to the feeling of restriction on the amount I can eat, but can manage 80g of Protein per day fairly regularly. Haven’t used shakes to supplement my protein count for several days, though I quite like them. I use a Celebrate vanilla prepared with Lactose-Fat-Free milk and a spoonful of non-sweetened cocoa powder. Shaken, not blended ? They’re pretty good. No real issues, but Constipation has been the only discomfort, so been adding soluble Fiber to my liquids, and a dose or Mirlax in the mornings. I also love the Bariatric Advantage Chewy Bite calcium citrate supplements. Very enjoyable. I find them almost a treat after my afternoon and early evening meals. Been walking a lot, and do 3 to 4 miles a day, but not every day. I do take a few days off. Feeling positive, BP and blood sugar numbers all very encouraging, and down 30lb since surgery. Best to all of you, and congratulations - keep at it, keep focused, and be healthy...

Yes I get it bad to. If you add apple cider vinegar (tsp)(braggs organic)to your drink it really helps. There are also pills you can take if you can.

Thanks! My nutritionist mentioned ACV as well (and I even have the Braggs brand) but I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to give it a shot - much appreciated.
