I recently had a virus and had an hour long vomiting session. 4.5months was the first real time of this happening too. I ended up drinking herbal teas and feel better. But I hope you see a physician to get professional answers and let us know the update. Hope you feel better soon.

Consequences of no protein

Yea, I agree that If I don't get my shakes in the scale don't moved. I prefer Nectar Syntax. Also I have less energy too. So shakes it is. My Nut told me to use them for the first year! -
Three Years Later - What I've Learned
Ballermom replied to DougNichols's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

Fantastic. Congrats!!!

First, I'm sorry that you experienced that. Yes, many people physicians too are not supportive of WLS period. My own physician did sign off but said serval things That was not supportive to me like. "I never had a patient who had WLS, and besides most people Gain it all back anyway." That was not an encouraging thing to say. What the heck, but he did sign. My Surgeon wanted me to find another physician. Now that i had my surgery i am happy to report that my blood pressure has went from170/100 to 109/72 sometimes lower. Guess what, I would have been dependent on him and or medication the rest of my life without this Surgery! So, be encouraged today. You have to advocate for your self even finding a physician who will sign off. You are not alone but you do have Courage. Good luck!

Yay! Congrats wishing. Great success on this Journey.
