I am almost 3 weeks post op and in the middle of we 2 I'm experiencing the sensation of a bubble in my throat which causes me to vomit. I can't get much down and I've omitted dairy, thinking my lactose intolerance had gotten worse. Another thing, my sense of smell has heightened... I have the symptoms of a pregnant woman but I'm definitely not pregnant. My dietitian says these are common complaints. Has anyone else experienced this?

My post op guidelines state to never drink from a straw. I know it's because it causes access air but I seem to be able to get more Protein and liquids in when I use a straw. I am 1 month post op today and I'm still having trouble getting in maximum protein. Yesterday I decided to use a straw and doubled my protein intake so if course I'm doing it again today. Is anyone else using straws? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I lost pretty fast at 1st by 6 months in I had already lost over 100 pounds. It has slowed a bit but still has not stopped I am still losing around 10 to 12 pounds a month and shedding inches which I am a okay with it is giving my skin a chance to play catch up. I also put in work I walk 5 miles a day M-F, do weight training 2 times a week and hip hop fitness 2 times a week. I also pretty much stick to Protein because I still cannot eat much so I have to make sure I get that in daily and it is pretty much all I have room for. It was a learning curve (trial and toilet) but I know now when my belly says stop I do That's awesome. I have to get moving. I'm almost 1 month post op and I'm down 30lbs from start weight... But I know I have to move more. Thanks for the inspiration. Again you look amazing, you rock!!! Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Mine was 3 to 4 Protein shakes a day. Liquids and vegetables but no corn, potatoes or peas. I had to stop meat 7 days prior to surgery. Liquids 2 days prior and Clear Liquids only the day before Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I'm not a fan of chewing gum either lol. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

For me it happens for multiple reasons. At first I felt moving to the next food phase was causing this but now I think it happens because I may eat too fast. A half hour to get liquids down was fine but the same amount of time to get pureed items down would cause foamies/slimies. I'm learning to eat slower with every new food phase but sometimes it just happens. Good luck Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Honestly I don't think you've been knowing him long enough to mention it. You're not exclusively dating just talking. Give it some time, hell you should keep looking and keep your potions open as well. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App Options open** Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I went back to work the next week after surgery but I'm an underwriter and I sit all day. My only restriction was no lifting and I had to get up and walk every hour. Ask your surgeon. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Hello, It's day 6 for me now and I just want to know when can I have Peanut Butter again? It's not on my list. Did I miss it? Did they forget it? Is this a noon recommended item? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I'm headed to my 1 week post op appointment. I'm excited to see how much weight I've lost but I'll be saddened if it's not much. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Did your surgery affect your menstrual cycle in anyway? I was told the surgery could make your menstrual cycle come early but mine is lasting a lot longer. Did anyone else go through this? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

4 months!!! Omg that had to be horrible. Did you talk to your gynecologist about it? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was on the 18th got my period on the 20th and it's still going. My normal periods are only 4 days. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Thank you @@KristenLe I gained 2 pounds. So I'm at a total of 20 pound loss since I started. What you said is exactly what the dietitian said. I'm not doing so well with my Protein. So I have to get at least 2 shakes in a day. And I suck at taking my Vitamins. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
