Spica

Well i certainly feel shifty after eating a couple bites of anything, so getting sick and the whole slime thing is still a real problem. hopefully just some more time is needed to move forward, but I am scheduled for blood work and office appointment next month. Unfortunately my surgeon seems to be an a*****e with a terrible office of unknowledgeable people who have not had the surgery and have nothing of relevance to share. As I was told a robot was doing the surgery I never gave the surgeon or office support much thought, but in hind sight it would be nice.

I just joined this website partly because I never got much information from my surgeon or his office about what to expect or how to do this. It was liquid for two weeks after then eat small pieces of real food slowly. Anyway I never herd of lactose being a problem, but turns out the isopure protein powder does not have lactose. I am however making pudding with real milk but will switch that up to see if it helps - thanks

Thanks for your comments. It looks like I am a little ahead of you and I am just getting a little frustrated with feeling terrible after eating, the slime thing, and then throwing up, etc... After reading many comments here it looks like everyone has different experiences and challenges to deal with and work through. Looks like the timing for various things are also different for everyone. The weight loss for me has been unreal, but seems like a starvation thing at this point as well. Try to eat something and then get sick - repeat.... In three months many great changes have already happened and I needed to do this for sure, so no regrets, yet. My goal is to loose half my body weight but I do not want to do that in 6 months! I just hope this is a phase that will end soon, cause this sucks for sure.

I am having a hard time keeping any real food down no matter how small the pieces are or how slowly I try to eat. Sometimes creamed soups or ritz crackers with peanut butter stay down, but even the protein shakes are upsetting my stomach and causing burping or discomfort which is eventually making me throw up. The weight loss has been amazing thus far, but I am getting concerned about how this is going or when it might change, etc.. anyone else having this kind of a problem? thanks, Steve
