This is not 100% 'set in stone' but, with most surgeons/clinics, you stop eating between 9pm and midnight the evening before your operation. Don't rely on me/us here on BariatricPal, though ... call the clinic/receptionist/hospital. Make sure!

I also had this right after surgery, and sometimes even now a year later I get them.. I found that it is when I eat to fast, and I asked my doctor, and he said the same thing.

I'm 7 weeks out, have had an iced latte unsweetened or starbucks skinny cinnamon dolce w/ skim milk almost every day since about week 2. 110 calories and 10g of protein..14g of sugar (milk sugar)...plus its 24oz of fluid. I consider it my mid morning meal. Asked my nutritionist about it and she was fine with it, its' just milk and coffee when you think about it. The problem comes when they are sweetened. Enjoy.

You are beautiful! Keep it up!

Congratulations [emoji322] You look fantastic!

Your stomach will let you know! Well at least for me it has! My throat gets knotted up,as if I had food stuck, and I feel the food siting right on my stomach this happens with just a few spoons of whatever I'm eating. I wait about 15-20min to continue my meal! Is not a pretty fun feeling feeling full and having to throw up

When I got my surgery date I went on a food farewell tour. Went to all my favorite restaurants and ate my favorite foods. I felt that I probably wouldnt be going back to those restaurants or eating those foods. Six weeks post op I’m feeling good about the surgery and best of all I dont miss the restaurants or food. From what I’m reading food funerals or farewell tours aren’t unusual.

Thank you!

Hi! I live in Hillsboro, Oregon. RNY surgery 9/12/17 at Kaiser Sunnyside. Nice to meet you all! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 3 months out and have lost a total 73 lbs. People tell me I look younger even though I have a turkey gobbler (instead of 2 or 3 chins) and if I'm reachin' you better watch the arm flap cause it might take you out! My stomach dips in the middle, my legs have hanging skin but I feel soooo much better and I can do so much more than before - plus my blood work came back good as was my EKG, blood pressure, etc. When you're 62 to hell with what others think I am happier, healthier and can get up and down stairs when I am showing houses. Besides if I lift some weights and do some cardio it will tighten up some.
