Hello everyone I have a question for you : have you ever felt that your stomach got larger? I feel i can eat more that the begining just wanted to get an opinion from someone else before i ask my doc Thank you

Haha i know what you mean it took me a week b4 i went to the toilet lool ! I still remember that

Sorry to hear about your problems! There is something you shouldint eat and that is yougut it does fermantation in your stomach which produces gases and acid ! It's not Good thats what my Doc told me ! Besides that you should contact your doctor and tell him what are your issues he is the best person to tell you what to do ! Vomiting is the last Thing us plicaters should do !

Would you mind editing your post i dont think anybody understood anything you said ! No offense

Am happy for you pranjala!! Thats great news i was affraid something went wrong inside.. One year so far you should be so happy i am 5 monthes post op and lost 47 and its kinda stable right now! I dont eat much thats why my weight droped fast ! I just need to lose 10 more then i will reach my goal life is so much better without those extra lbs! Have a great day/eavening/night Jeff

Well am in Canada and my surgeon is in europe hehe am going to write him and see. i ope its normal!! By the way i reached my 48 lb lost bos am so happy!

From time to time when i remember( for the Protein shakes) i am really not eating much.. I cant eat Breakfast unfortunatly although i lnow it's not good for lunch i eat very little and for dinner i eat meat ( chicken mostly) with some vegetables and arround 21:00 i eat something light.. Everybody i know is telling me i dont eat enough, but i never have any lack of energy! I am feeling great this week i am at 191lb so its 45 pounds less than my original weight! I am so happy!! The only thing i cant get off unfortunatly are the stretch marks thats the only thing bothering me.... If you got any question please feel free to ask i will try to be as much helpfull as i can Ps: i noticed i have two accounts.. So you might see two diff pictures this one is the good Account i think

Well the reason why they say don't drink after eating is due to your stomach being full and drinking will just make you feel bad ( stretch your stomach in a longterm ) so have soup no food or food with no soup

Hey all i spoke to my doctor 4 weeks post op, i told him about my food that i was able to eat mashed meat and purreed patatoes. he said that's good now we see that your healing process is going very well ! he said i asked if i can eat red meat he said try it if you tolarate it then it's good if not well you just have to wait a few more weeks.. so 6 weeks post op i had my first real meal which included a fillet mignon and ravioli pastas ! ofcourse i didnt finish all my meal i ate 3/4 of the fillet mignon and a few bites of the pastas only and a glass of wine ! and surprisingly i was full i was feeling pretty good next time i will take pics of what i can eat and post them ! i can assure you that i cannot tolerate DUCK ! i tried and it and it simply is poison to my stomach it's not digestable ! try it 6 weeks post op i don't suggest you to do it before that @ dionysus69 : try it 6 weeks post op i don't suggest you to do it before that @Anjapep23 : that's what i eat during the week : all mashed ( patatoes, vegetables , mashed meat ect.. ) i even still eat Soup during the week . but in week ends i eat what the food that is harder to diggest but in smaller quantities by the way just want to share today's motivation i am 33 pounds less that the day of surgery i am at 203 if you all want and see if i am allowed i will post the things i can eat and things i cant so everybody will have a little idea ( ofcourse with the admins permission )

Hello all i am presently home just came back from a restaurant ! And i overate !! I had duck with a cogniac sauce and some patatoes.... I am feeling like hell i feel like a gonna explod!! it hurts So bad ! What do i do??????

Hey Pranjala It was horrible it screwd up my eavening.. I ended up rejecting it ! Worst feeling i ever had in my life i thought i was goin to explode! Now i know my limit! Lol Thank you for the advice Ps: i ate a fillet mignon today with some pastas and it was all good ! Didnt feel bad at all ( i ate half of what i ate yesterday ! I sure learned my lesson

Hey TC I had my plication on the 4th of feb 2013 ! I was 236 5'7" ive lost 30 lb and still going down well your goal depends on ur current weight , i will elaborate my doctor told me that you lose 80% of the diff between your current weight and your best healthy weight which is great!! The surgery is easy nothing too complicated, i felt bad the first 2, 3 days after that it was kinda ok ! Every person is different but i can assure you you wont regret it! Good luck to you and keep us posted !

Hey ! I know that feeling !! I am crossing my fingers for you ! The first day is the worst but after that everything is going to be just fine ! My thoughts will be with you ! And just so you know it doest last long ( am talkin about the surgery ) so nothing to worry about keep us informed !

Hello It's normal, its from the tube inside your thought! Mine lasted 2 weeks ! I saw how the tube someone and trust me it's not beautifull! Good thing i saw it after surgery My surgery was on 4th of feb it's nornal not too feel hungry it will come after few weeks when the stomach feels better Good luck

I am crossing my finguers for you ! i hope you you will reach your goal as fast as possible and maintaining it. i dont keep track although i should ! to be honest i dont eat much i must be arround 700 calories a day ( which is not very much ) and if it's 700 calories it's thanks to my orange juice,protein shake,or any juice what so ever becouse i dont eat very much but the thing i do most of the time is drink Water when i am in the office i drink a cup of water every 10 min maybe that's why i am losing so much weight.. my doc said at least 2 liters of water every day ! if you have any other questions bos feel free to ask ps: i didnt start my excercise yet i am waiting for springtime to come to start doing my fav excercise which is runing !

thank you all for your answers it was really helpfull !! i am now one month and 4 days post op am feeling great started eating normal food!! i am so happy i lost 29 pounds so far ! my goal was 56 pounds i am just afraid if i bust it! is that possible like to lose more than you should? i was a low bmi 36 and i am 24 year old male. My doctor said that i will lose 80% of the diff between my start weight and the goal weight so far it's going to fast.. i don't know if i am just stressing out or not but just to make sure good day to you all

My doctor forbidden me any types of carbonated sodas ( coke,beer red bull and so on..... ) it's not good for sure becouse in time it will expand your stomach!! honestly i was addicted to coke and my favorite alcohol drink was vodka and red bull but now i simply can't drink it ( doctors orders ) i replaced it with orange juice and so far it's going pretty good ! i am one month post op lost 27 pounds my bmi was at 35.6 i started eating normal food ( mashed patatoes,rice , pita bread , i tried all types of vegetables so far and no problem ) i am really not attracted by junk food anymore ! i am actualy discusted it's becouse of that type of food that i had my surgery it made me the way i was ! the only thing i really miss is drinking whine and eating in the same time cant do it anymore but heck if that's the cost of being healthy and to get to my weight objective i can manage !! Mary i wish you good luck and try to cut those things your forbidden to eat ! replace the bread by pita and cut out the sodas you will see it will get much better ! mednar Congratulations !!! a real acomplishment ! best of luck to you all !!!
