I know Motrin is a no no after surgery. I took Motrin quite a bit before my surgery in Dec but not since. This month I am having the worst menstrual cramps. I need to be able to function today and can't just rest them away. I'm thinking if taking 1 Motrin because nothing else really helps. But I'm scared! Any advice suggestions etc?? TIA. [emoji7]

I had the sleeve 4 months ago. I'm so glad to hear that. I think I will take one. Ty.

I am 4 months out from sleeve surgery and have list 43 pounds so far. I would like to lose 25 to 30 more pounds. I've been pretty strict with not eating carbs and sticking with protein and vegetables. I'm a type one diabetic and I've been having some issues with my blood sugar as of late,where I have frequent lows. I usually take glucose tablets but today I decided to have a small bowl of protein special K with milk. This is the first time I've had cereal since the surgery. I didn't have a large bowl but I feel like I should've been full for what I ate and I wasn't. do any of you eat cereal or is it a slider food to stay away from? I don't think I'll be eating it again even though I enjoyed it.

Gallbladder surgery is an excuse that I have heard people use.

Hi everyone. Does decaf coffee count towards my fluid intake? I thought it did but I was told that it does not. I'm confused. Anybody?? Thanks.

I only had to do liquid diet 2 days before surgery. Everything went well during and after surgery

You are awesome!!! Inspiring!! Thanks for sharing. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everybody's. I was sleeved 7 weeks ago. Starting weight was 239. After surgery I went up 10 pounds from air, Fluid etc. lost 28 pounds by 3 weeks and stalled for 2 weeks where I hovered at the same 2 pounds. Then I started to lose again and this past Saturday I was down to 207. Since then I have been creeping up and today I am 210.5. . I had been drinking a small decaf iced coffee with skim milk for past week so I cut that out 2 days ago. I am eating 3 meals and 2 Snacks Usually stay between 800 and 1100 calories a day and have 70-90 gems of Protein. I did go out to dinner on Sunday and ordered a chicken dish with a balsamic dressing. I only ate a very small part ( obviously) but then ate it 2 more times for different meals. Won't do that again. Been exercising but not enough it seems. So with all that... any advice, tips, words of wisdom?? I understand A stall but weight gain at this early stage but weight gain?? Very discouraging. I'm trying to look at behaviors and use this as a learning experience but I'm feeling down. I didn't go through all this to fail. Help!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For Breakfast I might have 4 ounces chicken salad, a scrambled egg with 2 slices turkey bacon or 2 low fat bomber cheeses. lunch might be a boca burger with a carrot and some cucumber or 4 ounces of turkey breast and a slice of Swiss with mustard. dinner might be 4 ounces salmon or cod with veggies. Or chicken breast the only carbs I'm eating are yogurt on occasion or skim milk in iced coffee. I will also have s Protein bar or shake occasionally for a snack.

You look terrific!! Can I ask where you started? I was sleeved Dec 5. I have lost 32 which I am thrilled about but i am always curious about the journey of others. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My tastes are pretty much the same. I don't crave sweets so much and if I do want something sweet, a Protein bar or sugar free pudding works. The only thing I can gag from is peach flavored iced tea. I loved it pre op but can't look at it now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everybody I was sleeved Dec 5. I have lost 27.8 lbs so far. I am seeing the nutritionist on Friday but I am curious about trying a few new foods and since it is the weekend, I figured I would put it out there and see what the prevailing thoughts were. So what are your thoughts on raspberries, avocados, pistachios and parmigiana crisps? Also since we are not supposed to drink half hour before or after a meal, will I ever be able to have a few sips of Soup with chicken ? Thanks in advance.

Week 5 I should be back on regular foods, obviously making healthy choices. It says nothing is off limits in particular but I was wondering about seeds in raspberries Also I know almonds are a good snack but I had read that pistachios were not recommended. I love pistachios. I will call dr office on Monday Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hanging at home. My hubby and I usually go out to an Italian restaurant with 10 other couples and then go back to someone's house to continue the party. This year I just can't sit in the restaurant where everything is food focused. This year I'll spend NYE quietly being thankful for this new way of life...( but still missing the shrimp, Pasta and booze. ) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
