Ppis: Should We Be Taking Them?
Swimmer replied to Catracks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How far out did most people stop taking them?I'm four months and stopped at two but felt sick so went back on them. I never had issues pre surgery. -
Non Supportive Primary Care Doctor
Swimmer replied to carlab51's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree I'd find a new PCP. Mine is very supportive, and it makes all the difference. -
Allowed Coconut Yes Or No?
Swimmer replied to NJsharon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A bezoar (/ˈbiːzɔər/, from Persian bazahr, "antidote") is a mass found trapped in the gastrointestinal system (usually the stomach), [2] though it can occur in other locations. [3][4] A pseudobezoar is an indigestible object introduced intentionally into the digestive system. [5] There are several varieties of bezoar, some of which have inorganic constituents and others organic. -
Allowed Coconut Yes Or No?
Swimmer replied to NJsharon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It causes a bezoar in your stomach. You can drink the milk or water, but we are supposed to avoid the coconut meat. Same thing with celery. That being said others eat it without an issue, but I don't. I will peel the strings off celery and eat it though. -

Stalled For 3 Weeks At 4.5 Months Out - Up Calories? Cut Fat? Cut Carbs? More Exercise?
Swimmer replied to Catracks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been stuck at 178 for weeks too and I'm about four months out. I barely eat and when I work out I swear I gain. I do feel like I'm losing muscle now even though I swim a lot. -
I Hope I Haven't Stretched It
Swimmer replied to sgraff47's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm four months post op and can only eat about a quarter of a lean cuisine and nothing else. I'm supposed to be eating 1000 calories a day but it's impossible for me. I think I have an abnormal amount if restriction though. It takes me four meals to get through six inches of subway others at my stage can eat the entire thing. -
At four months out ground beef or any beef can still be very hard for me.

Would You Do The Gastric Sleeve Again?
Swimmer replied to Barb7's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In a heartbeat, down about sixty pounds at four months and less than thirty from goal. I was back swimming at two months post op and feel very normal. -
Hair Loss... Help!
Swimmer replied to SecretStarr82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in the exact same spot. It's so frustrating. -
Totally normal. Feel better.

I had the exact same worry. Trust me you'll feel it when you eat solids. I still can barely eat a few Tbs and I'm four months out.

I did shortly after surgery. It was not fun. Sounds like you are dehydrated be careful. Drink your water. Mine lasted a couple weeks then got better. I was dizzy when standing too.

Swimmer replied to kayte819's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi sleeve sister (1/25) you are doing better than I am, lol. I am hovering around down 50. I lose 10 and stall for weeks over and over, but I'll take any loss. I hope the losses pick up for both of us. Hang in there. -
Red Swollen Incision

That is the one that got infected for me, it split open at the hospital too. Have your dr look at it you might need antibiotics. Best wishes.
