Hello All! I was wondering if anyone else has this Dimple, Hole, Dip on your stomach where the incision is where they took the stomach that was cut off at? It's like a dip on the left lower side of my stomach. :-/ I'm really concerned about it. The Surgeon said it "Should" go away when I lose weight. I would just like to know if anybody else had/has this and if it ever went away. Thanks in Advance for your response :-)

Hello all! I was sleeved on 04-24-12 and I'm curious to know what were/are you eating and how much at Week 6 ? I can eat 4-6 table spoons at the most of soft food and that's 2 times a day, if that. And chicken, I can barely eat 2 tables spoons full. Is this normal? And I can only drink about 20-40 oz of liquid a day :-/ Thank You in advance to your response.

LOL!

Yes that's what I figured too, but I was also talking about any other time. If I wanted to take a couple bits of a tortilla, which one would be better corn or flour. I was always thinking corn of course, but just wanted another opinion.

What tortilla would be best? Corn or Flour? I would think Corn because it would seem to break up and digest better, but I'm not sure.

I had surgery on 04-24-11, 6 weeks out. I was wondering if I'm feeling a dumping syndrome or what. Right after I eat about 2-3 oz. I get so nauseous. I start sweating and I have to sit still or lay down. Feels kind of like I'm going to pass out. It last for about 30-45 min. What's going on with me?! Is this normal? I don't feel this way everytime I eat. Just sometimes.

Thank You Lissa for all the Info. I really appreciate it

Ok Great :-) Thanks! Lol and yes 2012 not 11 sorry bout that!

Thanks Chitowngirl! Yeah and it's a horrible feeling. I'm so scared to eat anywhere but my house because of this. It's miserable but I'm hoping it gets better in time :-)

Thank You Massindex! I will do that from now on. How far post op are you? Will I ever be able to eat more than 2-3oz per sitting, ever?????

Lissa- Awe Thank You so much. I do feel better about my loss now I tend to look at things in a negative way instead of positive when it comes to myself. I know it's bad, but low self esteem and being overweight my whole life has done that to me. Actually I have allowed that to do it to me. I've been feeling BLAH too because I can hardly eat. I have about 2 oz and I'm done. I feel Neaseous right after and I don't eat for the rest of the day. I am only getting about 20oz of liquid a day. I keep asking myself, will I ever be able to eat more than 2-3 oz a day ever? What does your meal plan look like at 9 months out? Sorry I've been rambling on :-(

Lissa- CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! That's Amazing :-) I'm only down 27 lbs in 6 weeks and I feel I should be down more

You mean shaving? Lol !!!!!

Lmao I was wondering the same thing! I'm only 6 weeks out and 27 pounds down since the day of surgery, it's still too soon to tell Lol! But Thanks for asking this question cause I was too shy too :-/ When was your Surgery?

Hello All ! I was wondering if I could get some suggestions for the best UNFLAVORED PROTEIN POWDERS that have the LEAST amount of ( Protein ) taste. Thank You in advance for your input :-)

Hello All! I was wondering, how do you make a protein drink thick/or thicker? Like a malt consistency? I gotta make these drinks tasty some how. When I put it in the blender or the magic bullet with milk or water or juice with ice, the top half always comes out FOAMY, YUKKKKKK :-/ !!!!!! Thank You in advance. I appreciate any info or help.

Ok Thank You all very much for your advice. I haven't tried these new ways but will today.
