    Weight gain in 2 days HOW?

    errrmm no salt but i do use seasoning i am black so black people tend to cook with seasoning which can be quite salty. i made a no carb stir fry with chicken and did a big batch and ate that with my husband for 3 days maybe it was that. i dunno cos i kno i am not physically eating enough to warrant a 3lb weight gain ohhhh mannn!!!!

    Weight gain in 2 days HOW?

    yeh i really dont know thats why i wrote this thread. yeh i have no idea i have have stuck to my surgeons advice. so not sure why iv gained 2lbs Sent from my SM-G935F using the BariatricPal App Sorry. When I read my comment I realized it sounded rude. I apologize. Have you tried staying off the scale? Unless I go to a doctors appointment I only weigh once a week. It really helps me keep my sanity. A little over a weeks go, while eating about 600 calories a day, I gained 11pounds due to medication and IV Fluid. I knew what was happening but it still pissed me off! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App hey. oh yehh thats fine no worries!! ahhhh yeh i dunno i still try to enjoy my treats once or twice a week like i refuse to completely cut them out its jst not living is it? instead i have a small chocolate bar like the kiddies size maybe once or twice a week like i have done that from the start depends how i feel. yeh its only 2lbs well 3lbs cos i lost 4lbs last week then gained 1lb back. but on the brightside i am 55lbs lighter im happy with that Sent from my SM-G935F using the BariatricPal App

  6. hiya. I am almost 10 weeks out doing really well and down 53lbs I couldn't be happier. but I have really bad smelling poop I'm embarrassed to go to the bathroom it's always diahorrea which makes me think I've dumped on something I am eating really carefully hardly any carbs more meat or fish with veg lots of Soup also. I thought it may be from milk so I stopped drinking it cos it hurt my stomach I may be lactose intolerant to milk cos I'm fine with low fat cheese spread. still having bad smelly gas and poop. it's soo bad it makes me wanna vomit I constantly carry spray and in scent sticks in the emergency I need to burn one. I am seeing the doctor in 2 days but I am really concerned as to why it stinks so bad. sorry for the graphic content. Thanks Sent from my SM-G935F using the BariatricPal App

    Can I have some yogurt now ?!

    This is a great time to learn to be able to do things that we think we can't take. You have made a huge decision to change your lifestyle and your postop diet is part of it. At least call your surgeons office and ask if you can add yogurt. You really don't need strangers approval to do what you want to do. I know for me, it was important to be able to meet my Protein and liquid goals and follow my plan. I found each stage to get tiresome because I wanted what was coming next. It is a very small sacrifice in the big scheme. And that first scrambled egg was the best ever! You will get there. This!Omg you are sooo dramatic that's what I hate about this site alot of the Americans act like your gonna die if you eat something. She hasn't asked for a McDonald's or KFC or pizza hut it's a yogurt for gods sake. I'm not telling her to eat anything I told her of my experience and what I did. I did eat a yogurt before I was suppose to both happened my nurse said it's a slider food so nothing with happen or get stuck. You need to realise everyone's experiences are different and accept that!!! Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App

    Can I have some yogurt now ?!

    Hey I'm from the UK and I had yogurt in my 2nd week it's a slider food so will go down nicely. I'm coming up to 3 weeks post surgery and I'm on soft food I must admit I skipped onto soft food few days earlier I shouldn't have but I did I got soo bored of liquids. The American plan seems so much stricter than ours. Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App

    Is my bypass working?

    Yeh I just stop when I think iv had enough. But I stick to the recommended portion that my surgeon gave I'm following the rules lol. Today I had porridge for breakfast and lunch made it really milky and then for dinner I had canneloni spinach and cheese was so lovely had half of one canneloni roll lots of sauce that's on my approved list which I was happy about. Yes good luck to you my dear. Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App
  17. Hi everyone. I'm Mel from London UK. I just had a bypass almost 2 weeks ago on the 14th September iv lost 11lbs which I am so so happy about but I'm not sure my bypass is working you might think I'm being ridiculous but I got sick of liquids so moved onto soft foods few days earlier than I was meant too because I got so bored of it. Iv been eating eggs I had 2 scrambled eggs this morning yesterday I had a Japanese Soup with soft skinny noodles and chicken took me 5 hours to eat it as I stopped and kept going back to it. I don't feel full to the point of I'm going to throw up is this weird? I ate a 90g pot of yogurt today even though I'm much slower than before but I managed to eat it and other people are saying I can only eat half a pot so how comes I am not feeling full to the brim? Sooo confused?? Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App

    Is my bypass working?

    Hi.Didn't really appreciate this comment This is so new to me I am following my diet plan thank you I do have my liquids also. You have no clue whether I measure or not so ask rather than assume....... thanks Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App 1. You are not following your diet plan because you said you got bored with liquids and started eating other things early.2. Measuring your food, you will find 2 eggs are too much to be eating. There were no assumptions in my comment. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App Bye now! Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App
