YAY! I been waiting for this for a while now! Seems like it took forever to arrive. As of today, I have officially LESS than 100 Pounds to goal! My next goal is to be at 100 Lost in total.. I am hoping to be there by end of April! I am super excited!

Hey! I'm really sick of purees! But it's better than the liquid diet - that was brutal. I wish I never had to look at another protein drink as long as I live. I developed some serious food aversions on liquid because I was feeling so nauseous every time I ate something. So lots of things are cancelled. Moving on to purees. I'm doing much better b ut I still prefer to eat a large variety of food so I'm trying to mix it up a bit. Try some of these if you need ideas! (my favorite continues to be refried beans but I don't think I need a pic of that here) GREEK CHICKEN SALAD: rotisserie chicken, Trader Joe's tzatziki dip, black pepper, garnished with mint leaf (I food process the chicken and the sauce separately then mix them together with a spoon - it leaves just enough texture to keep me from going crazy - not a fan of chicken pudding) I also do regular chicken salad like this with mayo, lemon zest, dijon, salt, pepper; here's a pic of both

It's been less than a month for you, I think you need to give it some more time. Mine are starting to lighten now at just under 9 weeks post-op and I'm using something called Bio-Oil.

I just had the sleeve done 8 weeks ago and I'm 54 years old. It's never too late. And it's definitely a change of eating patterns and habits as you can only eat such a very small amount, about 2 oz at a time, but you eat about every 3 hours. I eat around 800 calories/day. Good luck with your decision.

Thanks for all the advice. I will try anything not to have this heartburn/GERD. I get it even if i don't eat. I eat very slowly abd don't over eat. I also don't eat past 7. I'm just praying this gets better.... Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

My biggest issues with losing weight is trying to get back on track , I’m 10 months in and I’ve completely got off track. It’s driving me insane and it has made me super depressed!

Does anyone gag/throw up a little when they brush their teeth? I do every time and Im getting the bypass next week and Im scared. Any suggestions on how to stop this?

I’m sorry I don’t have any suggestions but I do suffer from the same thing. I do notice that it only happens when I brush the inside of my teeth in the morning. If I brush them late morning or afternoon I don’t have any issues. The thought of not brushing my teeth first thing in the morning is grosser than dealing with trying to to gag tho!

Had my sleeve done Jan,15,2019. Before then i never experienced heartburn like i do now..its horrible the burning in my stomach and throat. To the metal taste in my mouth, feeling like i want to vomit. The Dr. Had me on pepcid complete and tums.. but that didnt do anything. Now i was out on a script pantoprazole.. just wondering if anyone else is or has gone through this? Does it get better? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app
