Glad to hear i am not the only one having trouble with food. I am almost 6 weeks out and a lot of solid food makes me sick. I have terrible slime/foam....I think it is acid reflux. I am all about a new way of being but I am getting impatient with getting sick all of the time. Sometimes it is even with Water. Thanks for the good ideas!

I said I was having gall bladder and hernia surgery. I am 3 weeks out and headed back to work next week. I am going to say I lost weight because of surgery and just kept going because I was feeling so much better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
How do you help the food not get stuck? Is there a medicine to take? I totally get not wanting food! It is so weird. Thank you for your response- I feel a bit better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is anyone experiencing foamies? I am 3 weeks post surgery. Anytime I eat anything besides yogurt or apple sauce I have way too much salvia that makes me get sick. I am eating very slowly and this happens after 2-3 super small bites. I can't seem to get much in. I also have a tightness in my chest when I eat ( even 2-3 bites) Anyone know how to prevent foamies/ slimies or what the chest pain is about? Happy new year Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 2 weeks post op and have been given the green light to try whatever I want.., Protein first of course. I was only able to eat a few very small pieces of protein ( eggs, ham chicken ) this weekend. Thank you for the encouraging words that it will get better. I love the suggestions on this feed!

I had my post op appointment yesterday and I am down 18lbs! I am allowed to move to soft foods so I am so excited. I need to remind myself to eat small portions and eat really slow. I baked some fish yesterday and after a 6-7 very small bites I got sick. Yuck!!! I am going to use this as a learning experience. I am taking it very slow today. I think I need to remember i am different and my body is different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is anyone else having a hard time getting calories and Protein in? I am just not hungry and the thought of having a Protein shake makes me want to cringe. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also had surgery on 12/12. I am struggling to get my liquids in and am spending most of my time on couch. Anyone know when we start to feel better? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
