Thank you!
And no it isn’t because at first you feel kinda painful to eat or drink, but once you learn where your limit is at .. no biggie... now I really had a hard time drinking Water cuz I love Water, so I gulp on it ( bad mistake) started burping and I felt like I was drowning .. now I now how to “drink” water ( took me like 2 months or more lol ) . Any question you need to ask.. I’m always welcome to give my share.



I am 2 weeks post op. Things get stuck for me a lot,, which is super painful. I am having A hard time learning to eat slowly. Got any tips? What did you change for "drinking water"?

Stuck...aren’t you in liquid diet? [emoji848] and after liquid they gave us 3-4 weeks of purée .. so nothing gets stuck or hurts your new stomach .. .. what are you eating that you feel stuck?

Tips my first tip is your Protein intake and Water .. if you feel like it’s too heavy add Water. I couldn’t swallow my pills .. so I kept drinking Centrum liquid Multivitamin. Biotin ( mandatory) my hair is falling but not as bad as I have heard. I did cut it tho. And pictures take picture .. for your before.. cuz I feel like I havent loose anything .. but when I see my old pics after surgery from month month .. I know that there is some changes. And lots of water. ( a friend of mine got so dehydrated that she lost conscious and hurt herself, she had VSG) drink even when you don’t even want to

About drinking water .. I just learned to not gulp anymore lol .. when I feel like a burp is about to happen I stop.. rest and keep drinking.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
