    Breads

    Has anyone tried this brand of breads. I looked at the ingredients and it's made with wheat protein isolate and oat fiber and almond flower. I know we are supposed to avoid grains and carbs but would this work? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Rash around incisions

    I broke out in hives all over my stomach. I was allergic to the pain meds but had to use it periodically through the first week. Creams made me twitchy to the point of pacing all night. I just had to wait it out but man it was hell. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Pizza

    I want pizza! And watching football with all the pizza commercials is killing me. Luckily fear of the unknown reaction is stronger than the craving. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Pizza

    I'm gonna have to make it for super bowl cause this is ridiculous. I sitting here trying to rationalize eating foods I know I shouldn't. Which was part of the reason I did the sleeve so when I'm weak I will only be able to have a very small amount. But it's too soon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  10. I too craved baked Beans. I was having a rough week of nausea and not getting in Protein or liquids about 5 weeks post op. I made a can. And yes it had brown sugar and syrup in it. It took me like ten sittings over many days but I ate it. I tasted great and helped me get back on track. I get a nausea gagging feeling every couple hours and sometimes I just have to eat the "comfort" foods or I won't get any thing in. I am still loosing. Just went under 200. Fifty pounds in 8 weeks. Could it have been more maybe or maybe I would have been in the hospital with dehydration or something worse if I didn't give myself a small but tasty break. I don't recommend going crazy but the amount we can eat right now is so small any way. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Blahs

    So I'm almost 5 weeks post op. Pain after surgery was intense but short lived. Been fine since. Can eat but today was the first time I really didn't want to. I have been really good about the Protein shakes but couldn't do it today. Felt yucky all day. Just didn't want to eat or drink. Felt like I would get sick so something. Just having a rough day so thought I would share with people who may understand and not look at me with worry every time a headed to the bathroom. FYI I finally ate after Christmas mass. It did make me feel better but I know I didn't get in all my liquids and Proteins. Needed to vent. Now I can shake my self off and get back on track! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Wasting food

    I'm finding that sometimes the idea of eating the leftovers are turning my stomach. I ate left over before. Just the smell of some in the fridge turns me off. Especially ground beef foods like meatballs and meatloaf. Luckily I live with my dad and he eats them or my 3 pups get a big treat! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Do I tell or say nothing.

    Waitress and waiters. I tell them all cause they are so sad when I order food but only take a few bites. They are all very supportive. You don't need anyone's permission to do this. It's your choice. They will either accept it or not. If they can't get behind you getting healthy pfft on them!! This is an amazing journey. Day 22 and I look great and feel good. I walked by a mirror a few minutes ago and just smiled! Love your self and others will follow or fall away. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Food Logs

    I always used myfitnesspal but dr suggested Baritastic. My fitness has more as far as good but Baritastic is comparable in features and it won't yell at you for too few calories. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Protein Shakes Ugh!

    I use unjury. The chocolate powder mixed with Water or milk heated slightly maybe 30 seconds stir then30 seconds stir tastes like hot cocoa. Don't heat more than that though gets clumpy and gross. Haven't tried their unflavored vanilla or Soup but on order will let you know. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Hi folks! Be gentle I'm a newbie!

    5 days out. Drinking is tough. I go from panic I took to big a swallow and have gas bubble to haven't taken a swallow in a while. Hoping when I get back to work my rhythm will come back too. Right now I miss laying comfortably in bed. Spent first 3 nights at home in a recliner which I never want to see again. Love these pages though. They make me feel normal. So thanks y'all!

    4 days post op

    Could be food is stuck. "They" say to walk it down. Don't eat on top of it. Check in with your dr and try to use more liquid when you eat so chicken isn't so dry. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Vanilla power

    I opened my post up Bariatric Advantage vanilla power but it was all clumpy and had a weird smell. It kind freaked me out. I have been drinking the chocolate injury powder heating it a bit like thin hot cocoa. Any ideas on the vanilla powder. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Vanilla power

    I have my one week appointment on Wednesday. I got it from them I will bring it back under the guise of check to see if it's alright. I don't care so much if they replace it just don't want to drink it and get sick or do damage to incisions. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
