Having the same problem. Started when I moved to soft foods (two weeks ago). Some of the times I may have been eating too fast or too much, but other times - no way. I'm back on pureed for now and have an upper endoscopy scheduled for tomorrow. They want to check to see if I might be developing a stricture. If not, I'll just have to take it really slow, I guess...

Nutritional Supplementation Suggestions?
catwoman7 replied to Hetera's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just take Centrum chewables for my multi (2 a day). I take Superior Source's sublingual D and B12. Still trying to find a B-Complex that doesn't make me nauseous. -

2 Weeks Post-Op - Pureed food!
catwoman7 replied to Amylou's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I blended my cottage cheese when I was in the pureed stage, but now that I've moved to "soft foods", I don't blend it anymore. -
Drinking too fast - probably another dumb question...
catwoman7 replied to Daisee68's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my dietitian said it's not a problem (I asked because I was worrying about that, too). She said your pouch will let you know if you're drinking too fast. -
I don't get resentful or try to change anyone's habits, but I've noticed I've become much more aware of what people are eating. Like my husband (who's never had a weight problem). Yesterday we went out for Breakfast. I got a thing of yogurt. He ordered this platter piled high with pancakes and fried potatoes. All I could think was "good Lord - look at all those carbs!!!"

I had that problem - for me, it was the ursodiol (Actigall). Hives aren't a particularly common side effect, but they *are* a potential side effect. But hives can be a reaction to lots of things - meds, food, bug bites...

Doctor pro band, I was thinking sleeve
catwoman7 replied to Leesa926's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
my surgeon's office doesn't even do the band anymore. Too many issues with it. -
I had gastric bypass. The PA in my surgeon's office said gel caps melt really fast once they hit your stomach, so I could start taking them within a few days of surgery (and I did...). Never had any problems with them.
