myself I've had two beers .one..and then about 3 hrs later another..felt no affect other than a bit of gas.. 6 wks post op.

Omg that’s awesome news I am happy for you.

I get crazy rumblings late at night that feel like hunger pangs, I asked my team if it was acid and if I should up my omeprazole. They told me that it’s more likely bile reflux and to suck on a slice of lemon.

@Apple203 As soon as I hit 5 years, my oncologist started encouraging me to get RNY surgery. He told me the studies were coming back that WLS reduced recurrence risks substantially. Thanks for sharing this study!!

Congratulations on your progress! Since you've already had surgery, you might find more answers on the POST-surgery forum. That said, so many questions here revolve around the question of normalcy. If you get hungry when you stay up later, what if you went to bed earlier? Good luck!

Salem, MA here! Surgery is at MGH.

I’ve been super excited as well. But yesterday and today I cried. Any little thing would set me off. I want this over with already.

I don't focus on calories but my food tracker (I use the free part of Lose It, works great and you can even scan barcodes) does so I see what I eat. I'm only three months out and usually in the 800-900s. I lose ounces pretty much daily. Very slow weight loss but VERY steady. I eat tons of fat apparently. I don't try to but I eat full fat everything and I see my pie chart at the end of each day I'm not stopping eating fat since I am continuously losing at a steady pace. About 35 lbs down since before pre op diet. But I was a low BMI obese person.

I'm on a 2 week one of just sugar free jelly and 3 pints of skimmed milk and sugar free drinks like tea and coffee. I'm on day 7 and I realised if I had for got to take my vitamins I felt it more too. I would try and stick to it as much as you can I know it's hard and it feels like your body is craving and needing these things but I keep telling my self there is a reason they have asked me to do this so I need to stick to it. I thought I was going to pass out just going to the bathroom from my bedroom. Can you have more vegetable content in your broth maybe give you a bit of a kick. Low fat most of the time means they have to fill it with something else as they have taken the fat so stick more sugar in it so wont help you shrink your liver. If you do have somthing try to make sure it has naturaly accuring sugars than refined so fruit and such. Or you could try moving and getting up slower that might help to let your body a just.

I'm headed in for mine on the 16th
