Nope! No freak of nature! Those are consider "liquids". They process through your system a little faster, and take more "shape" with your stomach, versus "stretching" it. Those pudding cups are like a 1/4 of a cup... So that combined with the 1/2 from two hours prior... I think your fine. I can drink 16 ounces of water in like an hour, before not a chance! But "solid" foods, totally different!!! Can't finish a cheese stick.

They're pretty small, nothing to large. Do ya'll take them all at on e or space them out? Sorry, for all the questions! I really appreciate the advice!

I was told I could start taking my pills whole at 6 weeks, which will be next Monday. Any advice or thoughts? Were you able to just start taking them whole no problem?

Yes!!!! I'm on puréed, and can have chicken. Used to love rotisserie chicken! Now... Not at all. Everything smells great, but taste like crud.

I tolerate celebrate the best. I like them especially because they seem to dissolve quick, despite being so large!

I'd for sure talk to your surgeon & an endocrinologist about which option is best regarding diabetes. That's a hefty medical decision for surgery & diabetes a like. I've seen great results in relation to diabetes control, management, ect with both procedures. However, it is not a guarantee cure all, even if reversal of diabetes is common (for type II). Also, from my personal experience... My surgeon said he preferred the sleeve, for young child bearing age women. I'm 30, and no kiddos yet, only 1 month post op. But I do know people who had RYN and babies down the line. So since every persons health is different and individualized, I'd talk with a multidisciplinary team regarding your options. If you don't have an endocrinologist, see if your primary doc could refer you, or your surgeon. Consults are great for planning! Best of luck!!!

I bought some MOM tonight. Going to give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the advice! Does this last forever???

Be careful when picking up the baby. I know you don't have an option...but take it easy when you have to. ????. And just remember, you're not alone! You have made it 11 days! I remember when I was like 2 days out and think what the heck did I do...? But now I'm a month. Still have those moments, but when I do, I force myself to find something else to do. Like checking out bariatric pal. You can even word search topics, and see what other people had to say when they were feeling a certain way. Like for me... I'm a month out. I get regretful and depressed more often than I'd like to admit... So I'll search for those topics and read others advice, or post a new topic of my own. It helps me to feel grounded and keep on going. Just like you will do. One day at at time. You've got this!

Thank you all so much. Looks like I'll be heading to Wal-Greens!

One month out... Miralax is not working... Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance!

How are you doing?

Yes ma'am! How have you been otherwise? Any issues with nausea? Eating or drinking? I hope you haven't, but I was just curious.

Hello! Well... Today is the beginning of week 4, and I've moved from 277 to 275. It may just be two pounds, but it'd better than nothing, so I'm trying to keep that in mind. ???? Regarding the nausea issue, I'm still having trouble & just sent the NP a message to request an alternative medication (instead of zofran). Hopefully, something else will help!!!! Thank you for asking... It's so nice to have thoughtful and understanding people! ????

I need to adopt your attitude! ???? Thanks for what you said... You're right. ????

I'll for sure start the Prilosec regularly & see how it goes. I did contact the NP. She called me in some zofran & said that it happens to some people, and one day I'd wake up and the nausea would be gone (her words not mine). But I'm still nauseated and am having trouble eating period... Sorry, not trying to complain... It's just got me down.
