Well that is weird. How do you know what dr is right? Seems they are on both sides. Some say one is better other say the other Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have never had reflux- I honestly didn't even know if this WAS reflux because I though stuff came up your throat with reflux Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@hectorlopez323 my surgeon also said reflux is less with the sleeve? Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Nothing is coming up at all- so IS it reflux? I don't know what omeprazole is? I will call my dr tomorrow for sure Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well that is terrifying. I was hoping this was normal of people who have had sleeves Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's usually when I haven't eaten- like right when I wake up :/ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can only speak about me - but in had zero pain ever in my stomach area- the o my pain I had was gas pains in my shoulders and that lasted about a week. I would def go to dr Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did y'all's doctors tell y'all the amount y'all should be eating? I see everyone talking about measuring their food...... Mine did not and would love to know the sizes we should be eating . I can eat so little now I really haven't worried about it - but I obviously need to know Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 7 weeks out and eat 400-600 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow! What a loss!!! I haven't lost near that! My energy and back around week 4.... I would call dr just to double check congrats!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! I had my sleeve August 15! I wanted to see how everyone was doing?? I haven't weighted in two weeks but have been in a stall before that how much are y'all eating? My dr does not give set ounces so I am curious Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I like premier choc best Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That would scare me too! But people always advise to follow your dr orders my diet said Clear Liquids first week- then other liquids then anything---- so I tried real food two weeks after surgery and boy was that a mistake- I immediately went back to liquids for an extra week. I guess puréed meats are kind of liquid but yuck . Hahaha Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I lost 6 pounds in the two weeks--- my diet was all the shakes I wanted and any Protein and veggies for dinner ... So I felt like I ate a lot Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Stating weight was 212 - 206 at surgery- 188 was what I weighed two weeks ago. Scared to weigh again because if I am still in the stall I will be devastated . Can't handle it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I want to follow this because I have read so much saying that you can't really stretch it much and then others say you can. So I am confused about it! Did you have an X-ray and see it much bigger?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We are so similar! I am 6 1/2 weeks out! Usually do a premier shake for lunch and GENEPRO mixed with something for Breakfast ( yuck) ... Yes- I only eat 4-6 bites. And I have also been stalled for about 4 weeks! ( well one pound last time I weighed - which was two weeks ago) total weight lost last time I weighed was 25 ( including pre op diet ) - wow! So similar Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I use premier Protein for one meal and then GENEPRO medical grade powder missed with something for another meal ( it's pretty gross) - the body can't absorb more than 30 at a time I read - so I do it at two separate meals Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery three weeks ago and according to my surgeon can now eat anything. I am being super cautious , but am experimenting with various foods. I have found most meats aren't going down to great but still like to try for the Protein. Anyway- tonight I ate very few bites of some meat and now feel painfully painfully full. I guess my question is - can you stretch your stomach at this point? I am not purposefully eating too much - I just feel like it's such an experiment now--- I didn't know that the difference between the 3rd and 4 th tiny bite would be such a difference Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I felt the same way at your point. I am now almost 7 weeks and feel sooooo much better. It is probably stomach acid making you feel hungry- I felt like that and was horrified and also the Water is so important. One day I felt so badly I was scared and when I went to the bathroom I saw my urine was Brown drank lots of water and felt so much better . Promise it gets better--- and soon!!

I have to mix it in a shot of milk everyday because I taste it in everything and think it's so gross ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Or actually sometimes a homemade fruit smoothie - when my husband will make it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Exactly what @@KristenLe said! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes that's just how I felt week four ,week five and week 6- I am now in week 7 and I think I have felt a little hungry but it def could be my head more. I have fixed several plates thinking I am hungry and am done after 2-3 bites. All very normal I think Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
