Hi! I was sleeved on 12/08/15. I am down 135 pounds so far. I have been sticking to my 4 oz's 3 times a day but lately I feel like my body is telling me that I need more. I don't know if that is natural or if I am stressing and my instinct to to go towards food. Can anyone assist? Is it natural at some point to feel like you need more than 4 oz 3x a day?

I haven't called her yet. I don't have another appointment till August so I figured I would ask and see if other people were experiencing similar issues. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So, I woke up with a stomach virus. I was sleeved on December 8th. I was wondering what suggestions people have for dealing with this. Before my surgery, I would eat crackers, rice, pretzels, and ginger ale. I can't have any of that now. What should I do to settle my stomach? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, So sorry to be graphic but I am a bit concerned. I had my surgery on December 8th 2015. Ever since surgery, I had had constipation issues. Now though, when I poop I start to bleed. Bright red blood and what appears to be a decent amount. Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! I know we are supposed to focus on our protein and clear liquid intake but I was wondering what an average day looks like for you calorie wise. I am consuming between 500-700 calories a day. I am on the proteins only stage of the surgery.

I have stalled at 40 pounds down a month after my surgery. I am eating 3 to 4 oz a meal, I am chewing everything slowly. I drink tons of clear liquids throughout the day, a minimum of 64 oz and yet I have been stuck for 2 weeks. I have even gained 2 pounds. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Any advice or suggestions? I'm feeling very frustrated.

Stay strong. It's always better to get it checked. Feel better soon!

I had my sleeve on 12/8/15 Starting weight 329 Surgery day 312 Today 290 Down 39 pounds so far.

@@RaginCajun Thanks. So true. Happy New Year.

I am 1000% glad that I have had the sleeve a week ago today. I know it is a big change and that it takes time. I was just talking to my husband about a trip we are taking and how the food I get at my favorite restaurant ever, which I used to eat in one sitting, would now easily take me a week to consume. I began sobbing because I didn't realize what a control food has on my life. I feel awful about that and at the same time, don't know how to get it out on my head and break the addiction.

Hi! I am still in the stage where my vitamins need to be gummy or liquid. I am looking all over for ones that have iron and have yet to find one. Anybody have a suggestion?

I was just cleared for soft foods. I think I am going to start with a scrambled egg. I am really excited and really tired of chicken broth!

I kept the surgery a secret from most as well. I am on my fitness pal and just sent you a friend request.

I am 6 days post op and all of a sudden I feel like the stomach is growling all day long. I am on clear liquids and protein shakes till the 23rd and that seems like a lifetime away. Anyone have any suggestions as to make the grumbling stop?

I have made a Pinterest board with recipes that will be sleeve friendly to get me excited about the next phase of this coming up soon. I am hoping that prepping for things that are allowed will get me excited about food in a positive, healthy way. Thanks for the feedback and support!

@@Ellenomore Thanks for the support!

I am pretty sure my liquid intake is good. I pee a lot

@@psvzum That sounds awesome! Thanks for the info!

Amazing! Well done!

It sucks. Try to keep yourself preoccupied and give yourself a little more time to sleep if possible. Warn your family that you are going to be cranky for a bit. You can do it and at the end of the day are going to be so glad you did!! Good luck!

@@psvzum you are moving right along there!! The only protein shakes I can tolerate are premier protein. You buy it in Costco they come in cases of 18 for $25 on sale for $20. What's the name of the bread you found?
