Milk allergy? My doctor said I would not tolerate things I could before and develop some more taste changes as I go along. Try some Lactose Free milk....see if that helps or soy milk, or almond milk. Good Luck!

So true. I have a girlfriend that went to Mexico, so did her mother and brother with wonderful results. I just chose not to. Mexico leaves me with horrible concerns.

We fall back into old habits. Candy, cookies, pies, cakes and carbs. Luckily I don't have a sweet tooth. Carbs are the bad thing. Did you inow that your liver swells with fluie when we a diet high in carbs. Learned that with my 2 week diet before surgery. Omiting carbs helped me lose 1 pound a day for 2 weeks. Result, My liver shrunk 50%

Now think about Mexico....what if you have complications after surgery....maybe you would have trouble finding someone in your area at home to fix what is wrong. Something to think about. Complications.

Actually, waiting is as bad as it gets. The rest is gravy!

You will get better. I didn't eat for 24 hours. I wanted to give my stomach a rest. Don't push it. It will get better on its own. It is so swollen from the surgery it is in rebellion! Good Luck! By the way, you will lose about a pound a day for the first month. Let that be your soothing thought for the day! YeHaaw!

I am sorry you have to wait. It was a no brainer for me. My insurance would not even consider weight loss surgery. I am a self pay. I am glad you are on your way to surgery and the wait can be horrendous. I am so sorry. This will be the best decision you have ever made. I wish I had done this years ago. I have been overweight for over 42 years. I did this for my health. Too bad I waited this long. But just think!!!! You get a do over! How many people get to start over? You, that is who!

I made brocolli and cauliflower cream soup from a Bear Creek Mix (which uses a powdered potato base) and it is wonderful. I have been eating it for lunch for 3 days straight it is so yummy. They have a dozen dry soup mixes you can use. I use potato soup as a base and throw all kinds of things in it to make it different. This has almost zero fat, you might be having an issue with fat. Give it a try. You should be further along than this for 5 months from surgery.

It is just the anesthesia....it will go away. Some have it worse than others. I didn't have any nausea...and just lucky I guess. If you had your surgery yesterday, you haven't eaten yet so the nausea is due to the anesthesia.

You had the sleeve yesterday? Cut yourself some slack. It will get better. I haven't had any of the "usual" problems but maybe I am unusual. No pain, no dumping, no vomiting, did I mention NO PAIN. Just hang in there, it will get better!

I am two weeks out and eat soups, cereals, and just about anything I want within reason. Last night I had steak, mashed potatos and gravy (all mushed up with a hand blender) and it was wonderful!!! I had chicken breast, rice and cream of chicken soup mushed up with a hand blender and it was great! Tonight It will be tuna noodle casserole blended....can't wait! Yes I had the sleeve 2 weeks ago! I have not dumped nor thrown up, so if you persist, you can do this. Maybe you are eating too much at one time or too fast. That would be my observation. I use MiraLax for constipaption every day...works wonders!
