Hey there... I've read about people who've had the wls that start a new addiction... instead of food they turn to something else... I think I'm one of them... and there's no one I can talk to about it where I live... I drink wine... everyday.... not just a glass, not just a bottle, sometimes it's 2 bottles or even 3... once I pour a glass or even take a sip I can't stop till I either pass out or run out. It gets kind of bad sometimes, I wake up not remembering what I did before sleeping... but the thing I recently realized about why I drink... it's "healthier"to me then putting food into my mouth... I'm so terrified to gain weight back! It's hard to explain really...I don't know... maybe it's me just being stupid...idk...I make 2 years November 1st... I guess I just wanted to know if I was alone or not??? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

No I'm not a smoker, proud to say I quit 10 years ago and never went back to it! HW: 419 SW: 341 CW: 299

Hi there, I tried doing a search for this topic bit didn't find one. Just curious if anyone experienced an ulcer after having sleeve surgery. My surgeon thinks that's what I have. I've been very nauseated and have been throwing up for almost a week now. Talked to him the other day and he said I should take omeprazole, to see if that helps. I'm 9 weeks post op.

Good job! That's will power....lol. just walk away ; ) HW: 419 SW: 341 CW: 314

I don't think it will affect it, depends though...on what you ate, do you plan to do it again and what kind of pre-op diet plan you're supposed to be on. I'm 7 weeks post sleeve and I know how hard it is to be on liquids. My pre-op diet was 2 weeks of just liquid! That was torture! But I just kept thinking of what I was going to be doing and the outcome if it all, to be successful, depended on me doing what my surgeon and his team had planned out. So 2 weeks liquids, had surgery, 2 more weeks just liquids...Lil over a month of just liquids! I know how frustrating and hard it is! You can do it though. Just have as many varieties, that are allowed, then it don't get too repetitive lol. sugar free popsicles and SF Jello really helped! Hope everything goes well! Good luck and just keep thinking of the end result and all the reasons why you chose to do this! You got this! HW: 419 SW: 341 CW: 314

It kind of sounds like what I've been feeling, even before surgery. Exactly like how you put it, esp the reset part. But for me, I was diagnosed with degenorative osteoarthritis...I had to ask my doctor to request an xray, to see if that's what it was and turned out it was. Might want to maybe check on that, if it's not, good to rule it out! Good luck to you! HW: 419 SW: 341 CW: 319

What did you do to break the stall? I am going through that same thing...sleeved on 11-1-16, haven't lost a pound for the past 2 weeks. so discouraged! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Have you tried Powerade zero? My stomach loves that more than plain water lol...I also tried Vitamin water zero, not bad. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I don't know about ice cream, heard it might set back Weightloss BUT absolutely love sugar free popsicles, they taste great and help with keeping hydrated! I was sleeved on Nov 1st. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 4 days out and having trouble keeping it down. My plan was to have 2 premier Protein shakes a day, I can barely finish half on 1! I know that's not good but it's making feel like phlegmy and full really fast that I don't want anymore for the day. Any suggestions? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Well I've told pretty much everyone in close with. My surgeon actually said I'm really lucky to have such an awesome support system. My family and I are real close and everyone is super excited and supportive. My fiancé has been on board from day one. Also the few coworkers I'm close with, they're all happy for me as well. The only people I haven't told, my fiancé's father and sister, i haven't told them because they're naturally negative first people and I don't care to know their opinions on my life choices! I guess I was surprised when my surgeon said I was lucky because I just assumed everyone else had the same support. If someone isn't supportive of something you want to do then just don't even bother with them. Misery loves company. Good luck to you! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
