  1. Thank you all for your suggestions. I agree most with Mz60. I do eat small meals, use a salad plate and eat with a baby fork and spoon. I just eat way to fast! I will give my surgeon a call and what advice he can offer.
  2. Need some support/advice please. Had VSG on January 7, 2019. I’m 63 years and I’ve lost 33 pounds. I know it isn’t going to come off as quickly as those that are younger but it’s a struggle every day, as I’m sure many of you feel. Feels like I plateau for 2-3 weeks and then have a week where I lose 2 - 3 pounds. My question, concern is that I’m finding I don’t take little bites anymore, I’m devouring food and then I DELIBERATELY make myself throw up! This only happens at dinner time but I’m finding I’m doing it every day. Any support you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
  3. Just started solid foods on Monday after 1 month. Chicken and fish only. My only problem is that I’m starving 30 minutes after I eat! Anyone else have this issue? Stays down fine, mini bites and chew, chew, chew, but I’m hungry!! Suggestions please!

    Post-Op Vitamins?

    11 days post op. Struggling with the chewable vitamins! Was ready to go to the ER today the burping was so bad and stomach pain excruciating! Still on a liquid diet, so what does that mean “take after food”? I can’t take them another day! Any suggestions? I want to stop taking them altogether!

    January surgeries?!

    The burping is bad! Is it from feeling your belly with air or is it whenever you drink something! My surgery was the 7th and I still have it. Went to Dr today and he said it takes time and to “sip slowly”. Trust me, I can’t sip any slower than I already am!

    Let's talk poop.

    Anyone have very dark “sticky” poops? I believe it’s because of the iron pills I’m taking. Does it go away? Should I cut down on the iron supplements? Constantly feel constipated, I have a couple of squirts a day. Thanks for any words of wisdom!

    50 and Up Sleevers

    5 days post surgery. Constantly hungry even though I’m consuming 60 -80 gr. In protein and drinking 80 oz of water. I don’t feel any restriction either! Anyone else having these issues? Oh, and I can’t stop burping!
  8. 62 years old and surgery was done on Monday, January 7. I feel pretty good, sore and exhausted and realize that will take some time. I’ve lost 4 lbs but I don’t feel any restriction at all! Is this normal? Seeing my doctor next Thursday. Anyone else have little to know restriction?

    January surgeries?!

    4 days postoperative. Sore and exhausted! 7 incisions in my belly. Took a shower this morning but it did me in. The good news, I’m not hungry and dropped 4 lbs!

    50 and Up Sleevers

    I had my band removed in September. It pretty much blew a leak! Gained back all but 20 pounds after 10 years.

    Starting puree foods after surgery

    Soo, I don’t have that baby food stage #2 list. Can you give me some ideas what you can eat?
