I'm having pain on my left side. It lasted all last night. When I move it sort of feels like a pulled muscle. (That the best way I can prescribe the pain) I think it's gas. Has anyone else had this problem??? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago on 8/8/ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 4/26/2013 and I've been at a stall for 3 months. What's really discouraging is that the doctor told me 2 months ago that she thought I would have lost more weight by now, which is even more discouraging! I have been exercising. I have started Zumba, kickboxing, and walking. Any suggestions on how to speed up my weight loss. I'm looking good but the weight is not falling off as I expected.

Thanks for the responses. I know for a fact that I'm not getting enough Protein because I hate the Protein drinks. I also don't eat a lot. My thighs have gotten huge since I started working out which makes me feel like I'm gaining weight. Ugh

I was sleeved in April. I am a former Pepsi addict. I drank a cup of Pepsi last week, and my stomach did not react well to it. I guess it's the carbonation, but it felt like a balloon kept inflating and deflating in my stomach for hours. Kind of hard to describe the sensation, but I won't be drinking Pepsi anytime soon!

You acknowledged the problem, and that's the most important thing right there. Bad habits are hard to break, and there is always tomorrow! None of us are perfect. You have lost a lot of weight so far! Keep your head up and keep on losing!

Why am I starting to burp while eating or after I eat? Curious.

Yeah. I have noticed myself hiccuping too!

I eat oatmeal in the morning for breakfast when im working. I eat brown sugar oatmeal. For some reason it taste different now. Maybe because I don't add extra sugar to make it taste better

I wonder the same thing. I'm 6 weeks too. I ate pasta last week. It actually went down good and I felt fine. I didn't eat a lot of it, because I didn't wanna overdue on carbs. I'll take every bodies advice and try to steer clear of the high carb foods.

Potatoes are my slider, but I have tried to Just eat them on the weekend. During the week if I eat them I boil red potatoes, because they break down better than white potatoes. I also try to eat them earlier too. I'm 6 weeks out.

Having kid after a tummy is possible, but it could possibly mess up your results. The tummy tuck cuts away excess skin and they also tighten your stomach muscles. I had a tummy tuck about 6 years ago and I have a 10 year old son. The doctor really wanted me to wait to have a tummy tuck since I was only 24. However, I knew that I didn't want anymore children. I did the surgery and since then I had put on 70 lbs. LOL. My stomach was no longer flat after 70 lbs, but 6 years later my stomach muscles are still super tight. Now that I'm losing weight I see my stomach going down. I believe I will get my original tummy tuck results back! In fact I know I will. My body is bouncing back. Sorry, I'm typing so much. Live in the moment and get your tummy tuck! You will love the results. I couldn't believe how amazing I looked after my tummy tuck. Get it while your insurance will pay, because its super expensive.

Is anybody able to eat pancakes or waffles??

Thanks for all the recipes and suggestions! I'm love to hear what others are eating. It makes dinner time more exciting.

Well actually I have been eating pretty good. Before surgery I only hate pancakes or waffles occasionally. Like 3 or 4 times out the year. I just wondering how the sleeve reacts to certain foods. Realistically, I think all foods are fine if eaten in moderation.

I stalled at 3 weeks. Congratulations 21 pounds in 2 weeks is fantastic.

Ok. Thanks for the info guys! I will probably stay away for now.

Wearing girdles will help to shape you. It's an old school trick. I don't know how well it will work for loose skin.

I'm am just so excited! I fit into a pair of jeans that i bought one year. When I bought the jeans they barely made it up my hips. Today I am happy to say the jeans made it up with ease and I buttoned them with no problem! This surgery is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Everybody is starting to notice I'm losing weight. The men are starting to stop and stare again. Lol I feel great. To those getting discouraged hang in there and stay encouraged! Sleeved 4/26/2013. I'm down 30 lbs! I feel good and I look good! ????????????

Im five weeks post op now. I started back wearing jeans at 3 weeks. Next week you should be good to go with jeans!

I forgot my lunch today. I am 5 weeks post op. I haven't had a problem with food going down so far. Is it ok if I eat a soft taco from Taco Bell. Actually, a soft chicken taco. I can handle tortilla chips fine so far...I don't go over board. On the brighter side. My 2 week stall has finally ended! Woo hoo

I am week 4 post op today, and I have been stalled since last week. The scale hasn't moved. At least I know it's not due to me over eating!

I officially no longer have any restrictions. Am I able to eat tortilla shells or soft tortilla shell?

What about rice?
