    Caffeine

    Good for you! I had a killer headache for a couple of days. I gave it up and haven’t gone back even after surgery. I just feel better! Decaf teas if I feel the need for a hot drink :)
  4. Definitely can be hormones. Don’t make any decision for a few months and see where you are then. Everything at your stage is up on end emotionally for a while Good luck

    Feeling emotional

    It gets better around week 3! Try hot water or decaf teas... it helped me when I had that type of pain drinking. (Or alkaline water). I’m at 7 months and had zero pain after month 1 with fluids Good luck!

    I Want Chinese Food!

    Wow that’s really early! I hope you feel ok afterward! 🤢Slippery slope for me!
  7. I’ve been ok so far just not paying it any mind when others eat less healthy food. The way I figure it, we can’t eat a whole lot anyway so why waste it on a bite or two of something that is going to be less filling. I kind of take pride in the fact that no matter what anyone else is eating I am eating a high-protein meal . However, I do like the idea of keeping your food separate… Or having them keep their food separate so you’re not even going into that cabinet or section of the refrigerator

    Annoyed by doctors office staff

    Mine took a week before scheduling once it went to insurance. Definitely take at least 2-3 weeks before returning . I took a week and a half off (not including weekends) and was fine.... just no heavy lifting Good luck with your date!!

    Walk a lot for the gas pain.... walk a lot and then walk more. Glad you’re home!

    No limit on food amount?

    My tell are hiccups too .... but that usually means not only am I full but maybe ate too fast too

    Constipation help

    I’m jumping on the smooth move tea vote... give it a few hours after drinking. Definitely not an issue after that. Make sure you’re home - gives me stomach cramps for about 15 min

    Surgery Tomorrow

    Hot water was better for me than cold for months and months . Feel better! Get up and move- a lot of pain for me was gas moving through for 3 days
  18. Hang in there. Definitely kick up your exercise as Matt suggested. I also wonder about the 3 shakes- is this something your Dr recommended? Maybe you’re eating too few calories at 3 months out? I’d ask your nutritionist to be sure Good luck and hang in there

    2 Months and 1 week post op sleeve

    Hot water or decaf tea worked for me when that happened. Good luck
  20. Perhaps share a bit of your eating, water and exercise so folks could suggest some help?

    Shopping....

    My butt is gone! Makes the pant sizes go fast.... I’ll still take it :)
  22. I do too.... just just a second or two . Typically at night and when I get up quickly . I assume it doesn’t happen during the day BC I’m up and about more often.

    Quick Lunch/Food Question Regarding Ounces

    Volume and weight differ so be careful of each . I would suggest only eating what your stomach tells you and slowly. Give time for your brain to catch up to your stomach to feel full. Feel better !
