    Throwing up after eating.

    I am a year out and still throw up when I eat too much or too fast. I've found certain foods trigger it more than others ...anything heavy or starchy... potatoes..bread... Or milk based like the creamy soup you had triggered mine as well. At 26 days out your stomach isn't healed all the way...it's still new and still sensitive. Just take your time introducing foods and eventually things will get better ❤
  2. I'm almost one year out and my reflux is terrible. Some nights it wakes me up....my surgeon would not put me on reflux medicine.. he gave me two options..eat smaller amounts and eat earlier.. or gastric bypass. I'm taking tums though to help on days that are worst than others.. funny thing is...I never experienced reflux before the surgery even though I had a hiatel hernia.. I guess it's something I will deal with..if it ever goes away...I'd be a happy girl!
  3. Stage 1 and stage 2 baby foods should be good too! Stay safe and take care of yourself most importantly make sure you get your fluids in.

    Someone help me.

    I wasn't allowed anything other than liquids until about my third week out..and when I started those it was terrible I can only imagine doing those at just a week out. Either way it gets better...just hang in there and get your fluids and protein in as much as possible! ❤

    3 weeks post op cheat

    Well unless you went wild and at the whole bag I think you're ok. I had to have hard candy around post op because I would get sick at my stomach and having peppermint helped that sometimes. Just forget about yesterday and start today don't dwell on it. Congrats on your weightless so far and wishing you much more success in the future
  6. My surgeon and surgical weight loss center were both okay with Flintstones as long as they matched up the recommended daily amounts we need. They should give you a paper showing the amounts needed daily.

    What to tell people?

    Be honest about it. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Most people get a trainer or some help losing weight...The sleeve or bypass is no different. We don't magically loose the weight...We still have to work just as hard to hit our goals. If someone looks down on you for having the surgery...Let them look down on you. Most if the people that have given me attitude about it are overweight themselves and more or less scared of the surgery and maybe a little jealous that I took the leap to do it. Congrats to all on this board on your hard work and big loses!!

    Holy Hair Loss Batman!!

    Make sure you are getting enough protein and water/fluid intake. Not getting enough of either one of these can contribute to hair loss. I'm not saying the shampoos aren't a good thing but make sure you're getting your nutrients as well.
  9. I had this issue about 3 months post op.. Whenever I would move a certain way or stretch it would hurt and be very uncomfortable. I went to my family doctor over it and she said it was more than likely a pulled muscle..Gave me some cream to put on it because we can't take Ibuprofen for inflammation and some muscle relaxers....I used both a couple of times and it seemed to have helped with it. Hopefully this is all that is wrong with. Always a good thing to see a doctor though. good luck. Hope you feel better.

    Sleeved in July 2016

    I was sleeved in October 2016. I've not had any major stalls...But know that time is coming soon. Change up your things you're eating...Be careful with portions and add maybe 15 minutes a day to your exercise.....Walk..Drink more liquids and make sure you're protein levels are being reached. Just like we did when we first had the surgery :). Mine has slowed down...But not completely stopped....Not looking forward to that day.. :/ sending you lots of wishes for continued success!!

    Ground beef

    I have...Ground beef is about the only protein I can tolerate and I'm almost 6 months post
  12. I had both as well. Never had an issue with reflux before surgery..didnt even know I had a hiatal hernia until I had my endoscopy before surgery..But since surgery I have woken up several nights with bad reflux....My doctor won't put me on an acid reducer....He said to eat earlier and monitor the last meal closely...And not eat as much. He said the only thing he would do if it didn't work was to do a bypass over my sleeved stomach....I don't like that sound so I'm just doing what he says. I'm assuming I'm having so much issue now because my stomach space is smaller so the acid it's still producing is too much....Hoping it changes as the time goes on.

    Teeth Changing color

    To be honest I've noticed the same....Thought it was just the new whitening toothpaste I had bought and was working..Loll. I'm almost 6 months post op...And have noticed it for a few weeks..Loll maybe it's like @Berry78 said...We are taking in less staining foods. :). Good luck on your journey ❤
  14. Walk walk walk....That's the only thing that helped to move that has out of my shoulders and neck.

    Failure

    hang in there sweetie! the first few weeks even months were hard on me. I had the hardest time getting liquids and my Protein in.... Vitamins, I learned to buy the chewable ones... became a godsend. and for sickness at stomach... a peppermint hard candy helped tremendously. I'm four months out and I'm still try to learn what my sleeve can and will allow me to tolerate... but the protein and liquid gets easier. It will be worth it! Listen to your NUT and your Surgeon, if they recommend something, please try to do as they say. Good luck on your journey
