No vomiting but tons of belching
spstarla69 replied to Aliel84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have an answer for you unfortunately, my surgery was 5/3 and I have the same issue Maybe eating too fast? That's definitely my problem... I'm supposed to only eat one bite every couple minutes and that's so hard to do. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Mixing protein powder
spstarla69 replied to charley27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My grocery store carries a lactose free skim milk, that's what I use It also has 12g Protein per cup, so helps with my protein goals too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Not losing, confused and frustrated
spstarla69 replied to mom2wils's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc told me to increase Protein, not decrease. So weird! He also said if you're in a stall, to up the calories for 2-3 days, then drop back down, that should get things moving again. Plus exercise is important, maybe switch up your routine? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Agree with SGC, I also lost a lot of weight on a previous diet (and then immediately got pregnant), and those two things killed my gallbladder. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Post op from the sleeve surgery 6/13/16
spstarla69 replied to Jesm1029's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes and yes It took a full 5 weeks for that incision to stop hurting for me. The gas lasted about 2 weeks. You'll get there, you're in the hard part right now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Yes it's normal, I'm about six weeks out and it's still rumbly I think some of it is the extra stomach acid and the rest is your tummy still healing and figuring things out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

1 Month Check Up
spstarla69 replied to beautifully2114's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Apparently there's a dreaded third week stall that happens to a lot of folks. You'll start to lose again soon, just stick to the plan Also I heard that many don't lose a ton of weight the first month because their body is still in shock/ healing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
How did you lose weight?
spstarla69 replied to Rvamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs. We all stall and most of us experience our first stall about three weeks post-op. Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. Embrace the Stall http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/351046-Embrace-the-Stall Yeah I know. Mine just hit earlier than I expected. I've since started losing again, all is well. -
How many days off from work post-op?
spstarla69 replied to leliwhoaoh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took 3 weeks and needed it, the first two weeks physically (tiredness/sleeping a lot) and mentally (2nd-3rd week emotional wreck LOL). -
So what's the deal with fizzy drinks?
spstarla69 replied to MamaRhea's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm not supposed to have them, pretty much forever the doc says. I'm only 16 days post-op, but I have ZERO desire for anything carbonated at this point, the thought of it makes me nauseous. -
How did you lose weight?
spstarla69 replied to Rvamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost the same as you until day 10. It is now day 16 and I haven't lost anything since the 10th, despite following my doctor's nutrition plan to the T. It will be fits and starts. Good luck to you! -
Fat free, low far, light or regular?
spstarla69 replied to FabFemale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 100% with you, the full fat seem more like REAL food to me. You don't need to eat as much and get better nutrients Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I am only 10 days out and have been the same weight the last two days despite still being on full liquids and only getting in about 400 calories a day. So annoying! But I know it will come off, just have to stay the course. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

In the first month
spstarla69 replied to TamaraRae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's great! I also had surgery on the 3rd but am down about 6 lbs (but am on TOM so that might be causing Water retention). Glad you came out the other side ok! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Post op liquid intake
spstarla69 replied to 1cutiejulie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first day home was yesterday, I only got in about 24 oz of water/protein. Hoping to do better each day until I hit the required 64 oz. I have heard that it may take a few days to get there. Good luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Congrats, that's amazing!!! Keep up the good work! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
