I am having the same issue - I hope someone out there can give us some guidance!

Yes, I do go to UC Weight Loss. I live in Lebanon, pretty close to West Chester. I was sleeved on November 20th. When was your surgery? I had a hard time at first, especially the first few days. But 6 weeks out and I am doing better for sure. I have started eating eggs, grits, oatmeal, stuff like that. I have lost 37 pounds so far, started at 200 exactly. How about you? How has it gone for you? Good to hear from you! Addie

Hi there, I had my sleeve on November 20th. I am starting to eat sort of normally now and I have a LOT of gas. I have read and been told (I think) that the gas will stretch my stomach so now I am freaking out that my stomach is big again. I have an appetite but can only eat a small amount at a time and I am still losing 2 or 3 pounds a week. Does anyone have any information on gas and the sleeve surgery? Thank you in advance, this forum saved my sanity after the surgery!!!! Addie

I RARELY burp anymore, don't know why - so my gas is the other kind. Just tired of passing such a large amount of gas...........

I am the same way! I was sleeved on Nov. 20th and don't want anything to eat or drink. My weight loss has slowed too, although it's still around 2 pounds a week. I was wondering if there were other folks out there with the same attitude. I do hope that my appetite will improve though :-)

Hi there, I had my sleeve on Nov. 20th in West Chester. I live in Lebanon, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati. Let me know if you would like to chat! Addie

My stylist had me start using a regimen of Cerafill Defy kit. It has shampoo, conditioner and a after shampoo treatment. I had knee surgery in September and my hair was thinning from that and I was worried about how much I would lose from the weight loss surgery. I IMMEDIATELY saw a difference in how much hair I was losing and 10 days post-op I see very little loss.

I have the Bariatric Advantage complete multi-formula Vitamin, with 1000 IU of Vitamin D and complete B complex. They are so horrid and I am wondering if anyone out there has a suggestion for a pill vitamin that I can just swallow? Appreciate the info, I feel very fortunate to have found this support group!

I see many people on the site that are on a liquid diet for 1 week. My doc says 1 MONTH and I am struggling already. Is it safe to go on to puree after 1 or 2 weeks? Thank you bunches!

I am 3 days post-op and I am miserable. I can't burp and I don't know what to do about that. Also, I can smell this horrid odor coming from my body and not sure why - thinking lack of carbs but how do I get rid of it if so? I would REALLY appreciate some thoughts. Thank you!
