@lipssticklady- I have . He kept saying its all hotmail at this time I told Him I read on forums and everyone else seems to be doing better than I at this point- he just says its normal I do occasionally drink g2 a few sips a day. So you weren't eating Much either at this point!? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@erp you look amazing!!! Wow!! That made me laugh about " going rogue" . You are right and actually I had told Myself I was breaking no rules until I had passed year 1... But being pretty nauseas For three weeks and eating hardly any solids made me drink some ginger ale. I did it. It felt really good. I know I can't go back down that road. I am not trying to make excuses ( but probably am) but when almost everything that goes in is liquid - and I only drink Water and Protein shakes ( so sick)... Then the mind starts wondering to diet drinks- or at least my mind Does;) Again- you look fantastic Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well dang- I have never heard of a mini sleeve but wish I had! !! I had about 60-70 to lose and some days I feel like I wish I hadn't done the surgery. Like I had an itch on my foot so I cut my foot off . Hahaa I am ten weeks out and still just not really eating more than a bite here or there . I currently feel like what I did was too drastic for MY situation but also know I couldn't of lost it otherwise . I am hoping to feel better about it as time passes. I have had a lot of nausea- so my experience has been challenging. Again- that was all me - not you of course Can't wait to hear about the mini sleeve!! Sounds so interesting. Great luck to you! Oh and I have told a few people but have found they just really don't understand well. They can't i guess they are all life long skinny people . It is def possible to keep secret - I went to my kids open house a couple of days later Great luck to you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I didn't worry about Protein at all the first week- I was only on Clear liquids so I didn't get hardly any Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks @alexbrecher ! I am discouraged because food still just doesn't feel good and drinking is what I mostly do. I know I shouldn't drink them but I have had a few sips and unfortunately it went down perfectly. I am going to keep on trying hard Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was self pay and they didn't mention anything about any of this if you had a hernia later- could it be proven it was from that surgery?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't count it when I make one but not sure if they do or not? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I started at 206 on surgery date and am 177 now- 9 weeks out . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery 8-15 and have lost 35 . I was doing great until a week ago and now have been super nauseas for about a week. I haven't eaten or drank much in a week. Seeing my doctor. Still not eating much meat. All my Protein comes from disgusting Protein shakes and powders . I haven't even been able to do that this last week . Before the bad week I was eating about 2-3 bites a meal I guess? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am only 9 weeks out but I would not do it again as of right now. I feel horrible and can eat or drink very little. It makes me feel like a sick person- whereas before I just felt like a fat person. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am almost nine weeks and not doing as well as y'all! This week I have eaten almost nothing - a bite or two a day- and it all makes me feel so nauseous But when I did eat I did have a little bit of carbs- like 1/2 a piece of light wheat toast- , a few bites of pizza one day- it didn't hurt at all unfortunately ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If my Water is not almost frozen I can't drink it- so weird. I was so thirsty at that time too- was drinking way way over 64 oz - now I can't even get in 20 currently. Great luck to you! Great suggestions here Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I ate anything I wanted for about once I decided to have surgery until the two week pre op. It was pretty glorious. I had never eaten whatever I wanted for more than one meal at a time and without extreme guilt . I gained 10 pounds. Yep. I did. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone- really with this encouragement I can stay more positive Unfortunately Anything added to Water makes me cringe- everything taste so yucky sweet. But I will go get some sonic ice and nausea Meds. I have been drinking water this am.... With just force it down It's just SO WEIRD- that I was doing fine and now - back to week 2 feelings. I am really hoping the dehydration is the key. Thanks again everyone. You have made me hopeful feeling badly can really screw your mind!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hope I don't get anyone upset by posting again on this- I posted two days about regressing and feeling badly. Since then it has really done downhill even more. It's like I am back at week 2 - I can smell everything intensely again and it all grosses me out so badly. The bad breath and taste in my mouth is back again- haven't had either of those in 5 weeks- but most painful is the intense nausea I feel all day long. And I mean not a break in it at all. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning and that one thing took me over a hour to eat ( like in the very beginning ) I called doctor and they said to go back to Clear liquids for a few days and work my way back up through the steps. I am really hoping this has happened to someone else???? ANYONE? I am scared about feeling this way- I have three little kids and can't feel like this- Thanks so much Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you everyone . I am so down it is getting hard for me to get through the day with my kids. Dehydration is def a concern and maybe the culprit? I don't drink much of anything at all. Choking down Water is very hard I was never given anti nausea meds- I am going in to dr Monday ( with or without an appt) and will ask about that. I just can't see past this and keep thinking it will never stop. 6 days of super nausea is rough. Never had it before Thank you all again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Today I am super nauseous and just can't make myself eat anything. I called the doctor and he said to go back to Clear liquids for a few days . I know I KNOW it's irrational but I really am scared I am never going to feel good again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 8 1/2 weeks ago. The last week has been so rough. I can't eat much of anything. Every bite of food makes me feel gross and nauseous. I am burping every five minutes and the bubbling from my throat is very annoying ( dr doubled my nexium for two weeks and then have to go in and see him if that doesn't work) . I am just concerned because of the lack of food I get in. I do meet my Protein every day by taking a shot of milk with Protein powder in it and then a shake for dinner. In this feeling it is hard for me to be positive and think that it will all get better. I am worried that this will last forever. Of course I have read that of course it doesn't , right now I am just scared. I expected to be able to eat some at this point and feel good . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am not happy with my surgery currently either . I am 8 1/2 weeks out and I can't eat too much. But food absolutely grosses me out and every time I eat I feel uncomfortable. Two bites and I am def done . I don't want to eat at all and worry about health from not eating but 400 calories a day. I don't have any energy either and am scared it's never going to come back. But so many people here say it gets better- so I am def trying to focus on that and believe that it WILL get better. I don't necessarily crave eating but I crave my stomach feeling normal when I eat ... Well anything. Good luck to you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I struggled with this myself . My bmi was 34 and I was 212 ... And people kept telling me I wasn't big enough. I also didn't have any problems (except cholesterol) but I knew that I couldn't do it in my own . I wanted to get off the crazy roller coaster of crash dieting and gaining. I needed help. My sister - who I thought would be my biggest critic was actually very supportive. And my last straw was telling my doctor and he was so overjoyed. I knew then that it made sense for my health. And that all my super skinny friends I had told- just didn't understand great luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@hudjess I completely understand- this board has intimidated me several times as well. And sometimes you do want need more recent responses . But there are also a lot of super helpful people that won't mind answering and re answering. I am pretty new so I will try to answer some redundant questions but I still need lots of help myself Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@KristenLe I probably exaggerated- I can eat it just grosses me out and I never feel great eating. But I think I am going to go see him. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine lasted three weeks- I weighed once a week- then stopped for two weeks a just avoid the scales - Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have had a gurgling in my throat for that last week- it is not painful but making me crazy. Nothing ever comes up - just like weird bubbles . I take nexium everyday. What is it and what should I do? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
