@@applegal79 Hi! My belly makes lost of little noises sometimes (often) it's not from me eating too fast ect...it's just the belly Working on digesting. If you feel like it's hurting or any pain then just take one less bite before you feel full. Even if your not you can always go back after awhile and eat a little more. I started that from the beginning And I've never had to go back and eat anymore. Also if your not already weigh your food out so you know how many oz your taking in. Good luck!

It gets easier! I did it a little over two months ago and I've already forgot about it. Stay strong!

Sounds like you have some orthostatic hypotension going on (blood pressure drops out when you stand up too fast) it can be common after surgery, you should consult with your DR most onset cases like that will eventually go away on there own. Just take your time getting up sloooowly in stages. Stay hydrated!!

Congrats that's awesome!

It stinks but it's just one of those things you have to wait for your body to catch up on. I know it's hard especially when we aren't suppose to have any caffeine to help. Just try to get as much rest/sleep as you can right now and don't feel guilty about laying in bed!

Yay! Thats exciting!

Sounds like your well on your way, congratulations!

Usually like to night my husband is going thru a drive thru (Taco Bell) I got nothing. I will make my own food here at the house so I know whats going into my body. Yesterday was my 16 yr old daughters birthday so I took the family to cheddars (the home of nothing healthy) waitress asked what I wanted I told her nothing. I would share off my family's plate. She brought me a small plate and I Ate a few bites of my girls grilled chicken and a couple mushrooms. I've decided it's pointless to buy food out because I can't eat it. We went to Hardee's and I ordered a turkey burger wrapped in lettuce instead of bread But could only manage 3 bites so as of now I'm done ordering myself food out! Too much wasting. If soup were an option I'd go somewhere that offered a healthy soup.

Hi! Welcome.just follow your surgeons advice. Get your protein, fluids, and vitamins in.

I don't really snack but if I do it would be a quest bar and of course I am addicted to my chai decaf tea with Splenda and teaspoon of cream (if you consider that a snack) sorry thats really all I got. I try not to snack but I should eat more. In the beginning I liked fancy little meats and cheeses if you can even have that kinda stuff?

Wow that's quite the range.

Just follow the plan and it should work. I know mine did but I didn't get an option to eat anything it was all liquid for two weeks.

Congrats!

Yep, you got some good advice above...stop doing that now! Use your self Control! You don't want to hurt your new stomach . It's now even close to being healed at this point. Just mention it to your surgeon And see what he/she has to say about it. Good luck.

Sending prayer! Congratulations to the Mr! @@Katcloudshepherd

Oh my! So are we in the guys room right now? I just respond to the "recent topics" on the right. It doesn't say where they are located. I can't be trusted to read and not respond! That's just asking for trouble! I would probably end up a human combustion case. I shall try to avoid the man room if at all possible. Although I would like to point out the fact that using the "guys room " header is like the boys only tree house my brother had...posting that on the door didn't so much work out for him.....thanks @@proudgrammy

@@GeoJen Hi, welcome! And just let me say there is nothing wrong with putting someone else on food duty during this time. I did! My husband was responsible for all the food for the kids and himself while I stayed in my room and guess what...they didn't starve and I didn't cheat! Boom! Done! Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your story!

Oh I have no clue! Helpful huh?! I have BCBS fed and I think it's a case by case issue. You can always call your customer service and ask them.

*hi, not I

Well I just you! Is this a before or after picture?

Oh and maybe one of those cute Jump suits, cat suits whatever you call them...but classy for my DIL's baby shower in 3 months! Game on!

I want to wear a nice short (not hoochie short but short) dress. I NEVER show my legs! No dresses no shorts nothing! I have thick muscle legs I want thinner legs for that reason!

I have no idea what that is but if you think it's hurting your belly I would consult with your surgeon or nutritionist for sure!

@@angiecr Yes it is! Glad your feeling good! Congrats!
