I have a Gi dr appointment but just wondered if anyone else has had this. I am 12 months post op. it is uncomfortable after i eat food for 2-3 hours and then it goes away. But i don't want to eat much because of the discomfort/and pain sometimes. It also hurts to breathe really deep once the pain sets in. I haven not had any complications thus far. My surgeon is in Mexico so I don't have one here in Austin,,TX . Just seeing a GI dr for any problems. Never thought I would have problems 12 months out. Weird

I hear ya. I have gained 1 lb and I am in a 33 day stall. What @@Kindle said was very rude, could have been said in a compassionate manner. I have noticed people on this forum are very rude to one another, we are all on the same journey and many are on different paths of it, lets give some support and not be so rude. you can Facebook friend me if you want. I am a very good supporter and don't judge. I can lend a good ear.

I need snack ideas. I eat the same thing every day in between Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I am bored. I can eat anything at this point. I am 7 weeks post op Thanks

Anyone Else getting headaches? I have had a headache every day since surgery February 12 th. I see my regular gp on friday. My surgeon is in Mexico, so i don't' have a bariartic doctor here. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this??

go onto pinterest and search for wls purees they have a ton

I am 6 days post op and doing excellent The first 5 days were rough The first day was just awful, being in Tijuana where I had no idea what was going on because of the little English that was spoken was scary and I kept thinking what am I doing here. After a 8 hour travel day and plane ride from hell, I was whisked away into surgery and woke up and was like ok what's next. I was nervous all day then night came and I was puking blood clots which is very normal after surgery but I felt like I was going to die. Day 2, reaction to an iv medication that made he hot, red, and itchy. Kept telling dr's and nurses and no one would tell me what was going on till 10 pm that night. I am also on bi polar medications that I was withdrawing from till I could start swalloing pills again. So that made the healing process just awful fro 72 hours. But I did it Then days 4 home to Austin Texas Long flights home but I was so elated to get off that wonderful virgin airline ride home went to bed and slept for 8 hours after surgery i was up for 15 hours Monday I slept from 830-6 straight. wow that was so nice and today I am doing wonderful I feel so much better. Getting in my ensure clear drinks (1 a day) 8 grams of Protein, 2 cups of broth, 1.5 why protein shots of protein (46 grams of protein per 3.6 oz) loosing very little but i am still quite swollen and not excersising yet From January till today I've lost 18 lbs I am 202 and want to be 130 It'll happen as time moves on I have an interview today for a new job I am so excited how I feel I hope everyone else is doing better

I drank those 2 x's a day for the first 7 days, gave me uncontrabble diarrhea. Stopped and started my premiere Protein shakes. much better now. Those things were expensive and nasty

Kale chips are great substitute for popcorn cravings

I was sleeved 12th, body is feeling weird. My stomach is a symphony of noises. It's weird. I don't think I am getting enough Protein in because I am weak most of the day after doing anything like taking care of my six year old. I sleep a lot I get my walking in I still have terrible diarrhea that I have to take Immodium for everyday I start purred foods monday. Hoping that helps with the energy level of getting more Proteins in other than that I don't look like a person whose had surgery. Can I get invited to the facebook group as well? Seems everyone's eating at different times and diffrent foods/broths/purred foods that their dr says is good. WEird i have to be on 10 days of Clear liquids only, 10 days of purred mushy food, 10 days of starting real tiny pieces of protein food, week 4 starts all normal food. Seems that all dr's should be on the same pge my facebook is kristen grant mcgill

I'm starving too. 7 days post op. I'm so ready for purred soups and smoothies and protein shakes. I'm so weak from hunger I think. All I eat is why protein 46 grams 2 xs a day and broth 2-3 times a day. I'm tolerating jello well. So sick of it. I might try a protein shake sat. Tuesday I can eat purred foods. Every 10 days I get into the new phase. Seems awful long Everyone else is eating more food than my surgeon recommends. Kinda of weird.

took 2 weeks off. go back next friday. but hoping to start a new job in fact next week because my job is high demand of walking and standing and just moving constantly.. not allowed to sit down

I only have 3 days of yogurt and Water only starting tomorrow. I am more scared how I will function at a very physical job run around job for the next 3 days I keep having this conversation in my head, just get through these 3 days you can do it. I don't eat much when I am at work but when I am home I eat,eat,eat. Maybe I should just sleep as soon as I am home from work. I have read that people are dizzy and light headed on the pre op diet. I sure hope that doesn't happen to me. I am getting really nervous for this whole process. for the last 2 months, I have been looking forward to everything. Now I am in the final stages and I am scared. My surgery is in Mexico and the dr doesn't speak english and I don't speak spanish. Nor do the nurses. I just hope all goes well. Thanks for listening.

I am not going to miss having taking 2 showers a day and the sweating all the time. Not bumping my huge stomach into things all the time.

What is a typical morning, lunch, and evening meal consist of for everyone please? I am having surgery feb 12th Thanks

I'm interested in how everyone is doing after surgery, How you feel a few days post op and how and what you are eating? 11 more days till my surgery in Mexico. Good luck everyone

I am going to dr Ponce in Tijuana. on feb 12th. I;ve been doing this on my own w/out talking much to my coordinator. they don't want me to start my special diet until 3 days before she told me. i was shocked. I am doing the happy dance

I have no dr to talk to about pre op diet b/c i am doing it in Mexico. I have to start jan 29th of pre op. i just emailed my coordinator. what i read off their website is one Protein Shake at Breakfast and lunch and small dinner salad with Protein and if necessary protein shake. doesn't seem like enough food in one day. i bought the premeier shakes which is 30 grams of protein, i do know i am supposed to drink half a gallon of Water a day. but i work all day long. i have pre diabetes and get shaky if i don't eat enough so is it really true that only eating that small of stuff will keep me all day? thanks for everyone's adivce on getting me through this i am getting scared

I am scheduled at INT wellness on feb 12 with dr Ponce. i had a friend who loved him but didn't like int, is Mi hospital better. i keep going back and forth and don't think i can change for a 3 rd time. just wondered if anyone had any experience with this thanks

My surgery is booked feb 12th in Meixco with Jamie Ponce De Leon.

Here is what I can eat and need some suggestions and any advice is welcomed please. 2 weeks prior to the surgery I can have 3 Protein drinks and 1 small salad with protein and fat free dressing it says nothing about coffee: i need coffee to be awake at work: any suggestions of what I can put in please. (right now I use sugar free and fat free creamer, is that ok?) Now 3 days before my surgery feb 12 th, which means that monday right ? black coffee with skim milk but i don't like the bitterness of coffee so splenda? says broth not sure if i can have Protein Drink??? sugar free Jello propel sugar free juice any advice would be awesome Thanks everyone

Thank you so much My surgery is in Mexico, so i don't have anyone but a coordinator to talk too. Hopefully she has the answers to some of those questions. REally thank you

I take Latuda now, got off of Abilify 4 month ago but I take 5 other meds, I am really worried how I will be able to swallow these meds after surgery with Water. No one has talked to me about this. I can't go off these meds because I am bi polar and need them to keep my brain working. Anyone else have these issues? advice would be awesome Thanks

I am scheduled for feb 12,2014 in Mexico, Tijuania. I am nervous as hell. I am nervous mostly for after the and how I will work. I took from feb 12 till feb 26th off. I stand all day but can sit from time to time on my own stool i am bringing. I work as a veterinary receptionist and it is actually a hard job at times. having to go grab heavy food for clients run around and do this and that. and the hours are long. My job is not understanding at all. I am more scared about that then the real matters at hand like the diet i need to starts jan 30th before surgery and eating afterwards!!
