Hi all. I am brand new here. Had my band removal and sleeve conversion on Monday. I feel great other than all the belly gas and diarrhea. Plus some burping. Is this normal and how long does it last. I also had a hiatal hernia repair. Any help will help

Me too!!! My whole face was itchy. What brand are you using

I am still on puréed. I eat a scrambled egg with hot sauce and a small scoop of cottage cheese. I out the cottage cheese in after egg is almost cooked to make it wetter. Tastes good and is mushy.

I was sleeves on August 12th and lost 22 lbs the first two weeks!! Fabulous. But then as soon as I started my mushy food I stalled and haven't lost a pound. Actually scale says I gained! It's been a week and I am so frustrated. I have been charting all my food and Water staying under 800 calories close to 70 Proteins and 48-64 oz of water a day but nothing is happening. Any tips to get this stall broken or motivational stories of similar happenings would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I will be the only sleeve unsuccessful story!!

All I could say to those beautiful insightful words are THANK YOU.

I have to stay off the scale. I just told my son to hide it on me. I know the mushy food isn't the healthiest foods but still frustrated.

I just started eating mushy this week. I read that some people can only eat a few bites and they are full. But I can eat my entire 1/2 cup of food. I'm full after that but why others filling up earlier? Am I going to hurt by staple line if I consistently eat my half cup of food? I'm scared.

I had Dr Schmidt too He's excellent!! He did my lap band too. I highly recommend him

Dusicmom. Please add me.

I was also stalled a day or two. No worries. It will kick in. I get to eat today. I'm sitting here with my farina and I'm literally afraid to eat it. Wish me luck.

I see them Thursday too!

Good luck

I did not have to do clear diet prior (I went on a cruise instead lol) first two weeks are broth juice gaterade (watered down) tea water crystal lite. I added Isopure which I hear about here bc I was becoming sluggish. Nutritionist will explain it all

It seemed like the floor at Hackensack was not just for WLS since my roommate was not there for that, however a large group of patients there were WLS and the nurses were very knowledgeable, a nutritionist came in, also a representative from the hospitals support group. I liked them.

I had Dr Schmidt at Hackensack last Monday. Hackensack nurses were awesome and I feel great

Does Anyone have any good suggestions for liquid protein that can be taken. I'm still on clear liquids but feel I should get protein in. Can't start protein shakes until next week

Just bought the coconut Isopure. Love it. How much are you all drinking. Bottle or half bottle daily?

Where it says email just add the username. It was easy

Yep. Figured it out.

Just downloaded mfp. Can it track protein intake or just calories?

Must be one of the hidden secrets? Damn not looking forward to that. Lol

What's the foamies?

I am 6 days post op. tomorrow is one week anniversary. I am still in clear liquids for another week. I was told to drink 4oz every hour but I feel great and like I could def. drink more. If I continue to sip slowly can I have more or am I limited to 4oz. I just don't want to mess up recovery
