I'm 6 months post open and i still have a hard time with meat. Causes me great pain, and i even throw up the only relief I can get then is to take some baby gas drops. I've heard you can have some serious repercussions if you overdo. Sent from my SM-J100VPP using the BariatricPal App

I'm struggling getting the 60 gr. Protiens are you supposed to get more than that? Question= has anyone had to fast for bloodwork after the surgery? If so did it throw you outta whack? Meaning. .. I had my surgery in May and got pretty much past all the nausea and vomiting but a couple days ago I fasted for some bloodwork and they took out 13 tubes of blood since then, I've been feeling sick, no energy, having hard time eating again everything makes me nauseas and hurts my stomach. What's wrong with me? Sent from my SM-J100VPP using the BariatricPal App

Get your classes done first, after the classes the certificate you get us good for a year, then you can schedule all the other things. The classes usually give you a format of what needs to be done and when. Sent from my SM-J100VPP using the BariatricPal App

There are times you reach a plateau don't panic, just keep working your new tool. You'll get there. I have heard conflicting things on what and how much your supposed to eat. But I have talked to my daughter who had the Bypass surgery over a year ago, and what worked for her. She said to eat 800 calories a day and your 60 grams of protien a day. I keep a daily food journal and my daily counts, it helps me stay honest. Sometimes i go over but try to stay as close to the suggested counts. I had my surgery in May and since my journey began with the classes before surgery i have lost 83 pounds. Wishing You the best ! Sent from my SM-J100VPP using the BariatricPal App

A little confused if your nausea and vomiting is before surgery or after surgery. If it's before surgery you need to make sure there is No virus or infection is going on. Have you seen your primary care doctor to find out. They may have to delay your surgery for your own protection. But don't panic you'll still get there. If the nausea and vomiting is after surgery, I would suggest baby gas drops. And sugarfree popcycles. Praying for the best for you. Sent from my SM-J100VPP using the BariatricPal App

I'm new too and I think I might even be on the wrong forum, as I have noticed everyone on here has had the sleeve or getting ready to have the sleeve. I had the bypass last May I've lost a total of 80 pounds since the beginning of my journey. I like lipstick lady already, she sounds like my daughter life without her would be boring as hell.

I've been having great progress since my surgery in May, but I'm my last bloodwork they discovered that I'm now showing signs that suggest Hypoparathyroidism, they told me to take some calcium. Which I have begun, their only other instructions were that they would monitor it and keep an eye on that. Just wondering if its something to be concerned about, or am i blowing it out of proportion?
