I've been having this feeling for a couple months. It doesn't burn but just feels like something is rising up my throat. If I eat it seems to dissipate for a while but then it comes back. I'm on Prilosec once a day. I haven't asked my doctor about this but it's very annoying. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

The more muscles in the arms the better they will look but nothing can tighten the skin once its stretched and hangs. The only way to get rid of it is surgery. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

My doctor didn't say anything about no popcorn. I've eaten it 2 times and did ok both times. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Yes depends on where you start. I was a heavy weight. My surgery was may 30. I was 377 and now 295. I've lost 82 pounds- happy with that but still a ways to go. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Ok so I have had a stricture and one dilation for that back in July. Every time I eat- been this way since then- I feel sick every time I eat. It doesn't matter what I eat. I feel sick every time. I'm not eating too fast or taking too big of bites. Nothing is getting stuck as it was when I had the stricture. Is anyone else this way? My doctor has me on anti nausea meds but he doesn't know how bad I really feel. After every meal it's nausea and just a very ill feeling that takes a while to fad. Is this normal? Or is something going on? Ulcer? Just so tired of feeling sick and tired of being afraid of eating. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

With their huge menu there is probably several choices that could work. I haven't been post op but I used to love their steak Diane. Oh my that's some wonderful steak. I remember they had great roast chicken too- the only issue I would see is the portions are too big for us. I'd try to split something with another person. I do miss their wonderful cheesecake.... Oh well. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I have eaten the Atkins bars post op but I can't eat a whole one and they make me so gassy! I prefer not to eat them. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Around 3 weeks out I realized I couldn't do solids either- not even puréed things. I could only do liquids- my issue turned out to be a stricture though. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I bought some yes whey a while back but still haven't tried it. I've been scared. They are very thick looking and I just know it'll be gross. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Oatmeal for dinner. Found some sugar free instant at Walmart. It sits well and most things don't. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Boneless BBQ pork chop, Mac and cheese, green bean casserole, and baked beans. Had a spoonful of everything and a couple ounces of the pork. All sat well. Fun day with friends Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I only needed pain meds for about a week. I wasn't really in that much pain after the first couple days. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I've broke a bed- it had been repaired before from nephews jumping on it but I'm sure a normal person wouldn't have broke it again. I've broken my chair at work too- it was an adjustable desk chair and got to the point where it wouldn't stay up. I'd sit down and it would just sink to its lowest height. So uncomfortable.

I drink 1% milk for Protein once a day, do water- plain. I can't stand crystal light anymore! I do lots of unsweetened tea with sweet and low (I keep some in my purse all the time). I rarely do juice but on occasion I will. Mott's makes a light apple juice that I sometimes will drink- doesn't upset my stomach but does help if I'm constipated lol. Also v8 light juice blends are ok plus you get a serving of veggies in too. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

They are my favorite too. That's how I figured it. I used to could eat 3 with the rice and beans and of course the chips and queso. Now that was an awful meal. I'd also probably have drank a big margarita. Now it's half an enchilada and a couple bites of beans. Lol that's not enough to hurt me and I rarely eat out anyway. Just not worth the money.

I can do one hard taco from Taco Bell no problem. Done it many times- use the mild sauce to make sure it's all very moist. I also did a chicken quesadilla once and was ok. I can eat the whole taco but did only half the quesadilla. I only tried the quesadilla once as its expensive and I waste half. At Mexican restaurants I order one cheese enchilada and retried beans. Depending on the portions I typically get 2 meals from that. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I had my surgery the end of may and am so glad I did. I found out last week I'm being laid off. I have 60 days to find a new job. Put in lots of applications already but haven't heard anything yet. Hoping I get lucky too. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I started using them like a month ago. No problems and I too feel like I am able to drink more with them. I have loved them my whole life and couldn't give them up for good I guess. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

My bowels have been so messed up since surgery. There is no happy medium for me. I suffer from constipation more often than not but then randomly I'll have diarrhea. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I have had them several times post op. Don't be scared- the texture makes them sit just fine for me and they are high protein. I've eaten them with crackers and without and it's all been fine. I only use cocktail sauce though as I've never liked much spice. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
