I'm almost four months out and I've hit a plateu with my weight loss. I've only lost two pounds this past month. It's frustrating because I'm not doing anything different with my eating. Has anyone else had this issue and were you able to work through it? What helped you break through it?

I accidentally swallowed sardine bones. I didn't even know they left them in the can. Do you think they will puncture my pouch? I'm worrying about it. It doesn't hurt but I don't think they are supposed to be swallowed

Thank you so much james for your reply. I went to my doctor and told him what you said and he did a endoscopic balloon dilation on me and I did have a stricture which he fixed. I feel so much better. Thanks!

has anyone had bad issues with burping a lot after gastric bypass? I burp constantly now and it's really bad after I eat. I take nexium 40mg twice a day and gas x. I chew thoroughly and eat slowly, and stop drinking 30 min before eating and don't resume until 30 min after. My doc says he hasn't heard of it and my co-worker complains about it constantly, but I really can't help it. Any advice?

I am eight weeks post op from my gastric bypass surgery. When I first went on solids I was tolerating them well and only had pain when I ate certain foods. Now, I have pain every time I eat anything and it is excruciating. It feels like my pouch is too stretched out and is going to pop. Food goes back up my throat and I belch constantly. I am only eating 1/2 cup per meal and not drinking fluids during meals or 30 minutes before or after meals. I'm avoiding foods I was told could cause trouble and the foods that are bothering me now I was tolerating fine post operatively to start. I've put myself back on just protein shakes and water this past week and am tolerating those ok, but know I can't do this forever. I am really worried about what could be causing this pain. Any ideas or suggestions from people who have already been there?
