I used to love eggs. Ever since my surgery they still taste great but feel like they want to come back up every time, so I try to avoid em. I also have bad acid reflux since having the surgery and avoid acidic drinks and foods.

I was sleeved Feb 12th and stopped losing about 2 months ago. Started at 315lbs and got down to 205 and sat there for at least a month. Within the last month I have gained 10lbs back, I'm 215 now and last week started hitting the gym again daily but no change yet. I am also a non stop grazing on chips, crackers, pretzels, CARBS. I got so used to doing nothing and losing weight that I just stopped working out and eating the right things. I am almost back on track again. Just have to kick the carbs. Did any of you have any luck with boot camp??

Well I was sleeved on 2/13/12 and was 320lbs at my heaviest. I am currently 205lbs and feel like my progress has came to a halt. I lost over 100lbs in a little over 4 months. Then from 210 to 205 took about a month and now i have been at 205 since 7/12 (1 month)... I feel like i can eat more now then ever and I have been drinking diet soda's (i pour them over lots of ice to let the fizz out a little) I was exercising for about a month of my journey but I stopped going since I started working again. I do try to eat home cooked meals with lots of protein and stay away from fast food and junk food. I have been cheating with granola bars like crazy those nature valley oats and honey ones. Also wondering what is the normal comfortable drink limit for 5 or 6 months post op, I can take 3 small drinks from a glass before i feel the pressure and put the cup down.. Just worried my sleeve is stretched and not working anymore

No i didn't blend it. Thank god for crab it is so soft and moist already was so easy to eat. O I almost forgot to tell you to add a potato to the soup it is so good.

Im from Maryland and love crabs, so i lived off of this soup for weeks. http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/maryland-crab-soup/Detail.aspx I would also leave out the lima beans and never bothered with adding claws.

I just signed up for it today Add Me http://www.myfitnesspal.com/koolaid677

I dont know what is wrong with me. I feel like i am holding back vomiting all the time now. Nothing helps me either, the only time I feel better is early morning when nothing is in my stomach. I have been taking my vitamins and 40mg of prilosec a day. And now with this nausea I am drinking even less water a day then normal. Im trying to get a doctors appt today.

It has to an extent. The nausea goes away for a few hours but I still get this gnawing in my stomach that is really getting getting bad. I have another appointment on thursday so I'll see what they say.

Yeah they gave me the same thing, I hope this helps. Its under my tongue right now.

Im about to be at my 7 week mark on monday and for the past week or so whenever i dont eat or drink I feel a pain in my gut almost like hunger pains or maybe acid. I have been taking my prilosec daily so i dont know why the acid would be so bad. whenever i eat the pain stops for 10 or 15 minutes then comes back. Anyone have any ideas?

I dont think its acid anymore. for the past 3 days i've had a constant pain with nausea feeling in my stomach. Its that feeling of being so hungry you feel like you have to throw up. I hope this goes away soon. I have a follow up appointment on thursday so i'll find out something then.

Here!

There not sharp pains its more of a gnawing slow steady feeling in my stomach.

I just made a post about the stomach pains i have been having, and it is kind of a gnawing pain. I am also taking prilosec generic and think i should try zantac to see if it calms it down. Thanks

Ok ever since i got sleeved my arms have been breaking out with hives at random times. I have never had them before and have never been allergic to anything in my life. But now I get them almost every day and dont know why. I read somewhere that some people become allergic to the sergical tape after surgery and i thought it didn't happen to me, but yesterday I had a bandade on my arm and it started to itch so i pealed it off only to find it was swollen and bumpy underneith. Just wondering if this might have something to do with the acid reflux in my body?

Hi i am 6 weeks out now and am starting to hate everything except soup and yogart. If if try to eat chicken or any type of meat I get pains when it enters my stomach. How long will this last cause I dont mind eating a little bit till im full but I do mind it feeling uncomfortable when i swallow. Just want to know if those uncomfortable swallows will go away in time? Thanks

yeah i dont want to eat out anymore and my family is not too happy with me about it. I have a wife and 3 girls (3,9,12) and they loved when we would all go out to eat. But no im more into making some homade soup at home while they make something else out of the fridge. I feel a little bad for them when i think about it.
