I can eat salad but in order to do it I have to drink w it bc it's hard to digest! So kind of counter productive but once in awhile I love to have one. And believe me, I didn't get fat on salad. Maybe the dressing lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow you look great! You're doing so well, good for you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine was one night, I was grateful. Had really bad shoulder pain and got iv narcotics all night for it. That was my biggest complaint after surgery. It hurt for like a week. They told me that can happen but man it sucked. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I vomit here and there. I experience nausea a lot too. I ate egg salad too fast once and had to throw up bc it got stuck- that was gross! I am a coffee drinker and I probably shouldn't be, I'm relating a lot of my nausea to an hour after coffee.....I'm thinking it's causing gastritis. I just love it though. Damn.

Power in numbers! Call an attorney. They'll consult for free usually Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow! I had just one bruise similar to the top pic, from my heparin shots. Did you hurt yourself At all? Bump into anything? You'll be even more susceptible to bruising after the heparin shots, but have your doc take a look.

Good for you! Life is short. Albeit, shorter when you're obese, but hey, we are doing something about it. Have to have fun sometimes, and a game plan is good too. Sounds awesome to me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok guys so one update I have for you is the bengal barbecue. It's considered a snack stand and it's across from the jungle cruise. They sell skewers of meat for $4.50, which by Disney standards is a deal! For a Normal person it's a snack but for us the perfect size and a good dose of Protein. I plan to visit today I'll post pics. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Heading there now! I plan to pick at my toddlers or husbands food. No point in wasting $$. Jolly holiday has great sandwiches I may con my husband into that so I can eat the meat filling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't do that well w ground meat but it's funny how sometimes things are ok and sometimes they just aren't. It varies for me based on the day sometimes. Hope you feel better soon. I was sleeved on 11/7 and my surgeon had me on liquids for 4 weeks! Awful. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omg Russ!!! Almost seventy pounds in 4 weeks! Rock star!!! We got sleeved the same day I'll be 4 weeks fri. I want to thank you for this post. I'm struggling with energy levels. Im nauseous with my Vitamins so I'm sure I'm lacking. I get my Water and Protein in. I'm going to bite the bullet and get more exercise in. Seems crazy bc I have no energy, but I realize it's a catch-22. I have a young son so I'm going to increase walking with him. Maybe join yoga as well it's something I like. I started at 268.8 and I'm 242 even today- down 26.8 lbs. I thought maybe I was tired bc of the rapid weight loss (I'm sure that's part of it, I read that losing weight fast causes hormone dumping). Again, I appreciate your post I like to see other people that are around as far out as I am. I'm happy for you, and I'm going to take your lead. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hahah the gwyneth Paltrow recommendation! Hahah I love this thread. I live in LA, so I don't need to explain the value of looks, or how everyone is on some type of eating regimen lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's funny that you say that about the skinny Manhattan chicks you're around. I've been watching a lot more tv than I usually do bc I've been tired and weak post op, and I've noticed all the real housewives of OC are super into low carb and barely eat. See? We're just fancy now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You should get a lap band. They suck for some people, but if you don't have food issues just lost the weight and then have it loosened then you can eat whatever. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hope you feel better. What did they say? Just low fat diet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have this constant pain in my right upper quadrant, was going to ask my md if we should pursue it before it becomes an issue. I hear it's very common for issues after wls. Any news? How are you feeling? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh man I'm so sorry. You must feel pretty down. I'm glad you're home! I was three weeks today and am feeling progressively more shitty: weak, nauseous, pain when I try and eat/drink. I'm going to call md on Monday just to be safe. I'm really sorry that happened to you. Nothing worse than doing something proactive for your health and then taking steps back. Hang in there.

No one wants to say yes either bc it's a liability if something happens to you I'd feel bad. I'm 2.5 weeks out and was cleared for thin Soup but when I'm dying for salt I've eaten those tiny oyster crackers. I chew them to a pulp. I can't take my Vitamins with only clears in my stomach- throwing up hurts so bad. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Maybe aloe Vera? Whole Foods sells it in liquid form and you're supposed to take a shot daily for GI health. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This thread is asking for a fight. I feel the same way as a previous poster- I'm not religious and not only is Palin inexperienced, she draws "wisdom" for governing from a 2,000 year old fairy tale meant to brainwash and control people. Separate church and state. I don't agree with her and I hate her annoying voice. I hope she never runs for president. Questioned answered- have a great day!

Well besides all the other stuff on this page, at some point (when, where and how it fits your post surgery plan is on you and your dr) you can fill half an avocado with tuna or chicken salad to make it a full meal (yum). Thanks to the internet, you can find all kinds of crazy tricks like subbing mayo with Greek yogurt for less fat. Yay. Best of luck.

They tell you to avoid sugar bc it Can cause diarrhea. If you feel ok, it's ok. Not all the time, but you're clear for now. At least you noticed! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Maybe mush up some avocado w some salt, and add a little bit of Protein powder? I bought those oyster crackers for the salt taste and to settle my nausea. A couple of those might stop the craving and they're really small. I want deviled eggs mmmm. I'm not there yet, still early. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi guys, I'm newly sleeved and I read a lot of the threads for advice and many many folks have reported hair loss due to nutritional changes. My hair grew really thick three years ago when I took prenatal Vitamins and my hormones were different while I was pregnant. I'm sure weight loss causes a shift in hormones too. Any suggestions on something I can take to help my hair stay in my head, and/or keep it strong? I can't take the prenatal they're horse pills! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'd mix unflavored protein powder in the water to get the protein in, maybe even try pedialyte- it has sugar but I get nauseous when I'm dehydrated. Maybe you still have a structure? I'm a week post op and have been testing myself- I'm able to "gulp" about three times then I feel full but the liquid goes down. I hope you feel better. Pop a zofran and practice a little?
