Okay I know this sounds ludicrous but every time I belch which since having surgery is a lot lol, But anyways i seem to get this faint Clorox or chlorine taste when I do so. As a nurse I have never heard of this let alone experience it. Has anyone else had this problem. And we do not have city Water we have well water or I would just have chalked it up to be my water maybe. But that can't be it!!! ANYONE ELSE??? Lost!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

With all do respect if it's not on ur list of recommended foods or ur diet plan it shld not be being ate. This list is a prescription not just a recommendation for someone to follow if they fill like it. They give these stages of foods to follow so that you don't hurt urself. Think of it in a way of a newborn baby would you give them popcorn on a new stomach?? If not then why would u give this too ur new stomach that is still healing inside? Wish you all the best moving forward and I hope this makes you think some before eating something not on ur list. Just trying to help you from injury!! Best wishes!!!

Thanks so much!!! That's why I post is bc pre op I read so many post op stories 95% of them about bad pain or gas or nausea or regret or depression ETC. I didn't see many positive stories and I am a positive success no complications story and want people to know everything can go wonderful with very little pain. Best wishes.

Went to see surgeon today they are very happy with my progress surgeon said out of all the surgeries he has done he had never seen a patient do as well as I have and was shocked when he came to check in on me and seen me up sitting in a chair and not laying in bed on the day of my surgery. And he had never had a patient go back to work 3 days post op. He said I have been a model patient. I told him I feel wonderful and have more energy then my husband even the day I came home. My weight started at 289. I was 264 on day of surgery. 274 after surgery bc of fluids and swelling. Today I weighed 254. So I'm down a total of 35 lbs. best news of it all stage two diet. After 4 weeks of nothing but liquids I was so ready!!! SCRAMBLED eggs NEVER TASTED SO GOOD. two bites and I was stuffed like I went to a buffet. LOVED IT!!! Tomorrow I'm making ricotta bake!!! I have had no regret no buyers remorse. No emotional outbursts. I've never felt so alive and happy over a surgical procedure. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
