My nutritionist says at least a year and half before I'm back to normal. I'm in no rush. I'm 3 months out and I've lost about 90 lbs down. Feeling good. It is a step that you have to go alone most of the time. Don't feel bad, because eventually you'll feel so much better and as for your friends, if they're really good friends, they shouldn't exclude you or make you guilty that you can't eat. It is a process and it takes time. Good luck! Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

You're in my prayers. Good luck. It certainly is a big step, and since you're the one taking the plunge and not them, they don't share your same mentality. It takes time and at first will be very frustrating. Stay calm as best you can. You'll get used to it and hopefully your family will also come to grips with your surgery and fall right into line. It will be at least a full year before you are able to get to a normal diet. Good luck again. Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree. I usually get it from dumping, but the nausea runs after for at least 6 to 8 hours for me. Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

Are you taking you antinausea pill? Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

I woke up and was screaming at the nurse for no good reason. It was extremely painful. God bless her patience (though with a little attitude). I had a hiatal hernia fixed which is right under the sternum. That actually hurt more than the stomach surgery! I sent the lady flowers apologizing for my rudeness, but then again, they don't prepare you for the pain or discomfort of not being able to move. Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats. I'm flying through my clothing collection of 20 years. I'm down to a 46 from 54. I still have my jeans from 1998. So vintage! [emoji23] Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

There are moments when I'd want a flat Pepsi. But it's super sugary and I'd get dumping and that reminds me it isn't worth it. Good luck and keep strong! Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow! That's awesome! Congrats! Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

I think it's the sugar content which in turn causes dumping syndrome. Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

In my experience yes you can. But consuming too much to me, causes me to get the runs. Think about that. Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app

Let me explain. I'm currently in Phase 3 of my Post-op diet. Which is supposed to be soft foods. I can have moist soft meats and veggies whole. I just need to thoroughly before swallowing. Duh. But this part right now has been extremely difficult. I actually prefer stages 1 and 2. Liquid and pureed foods. Weird? I'm eating low cal/zero sugar "snacks" as a preference. Cheese sticks, jello, pudding, fruit cups in natural juices. Mashed potatoes and pureed meats mixed together with veggies. All weighed and counted like I should. But because of the absolute sickness I get from regular eating, I avoid what I'm supposed to be doing as part of my doctor's diet plan. I don't eat what I'm not supposed to, like candy and fried foods etc. But I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I'm still losing hella weight. I'm just wondering if anyone else is going through this as well. Thanks! Sent from my F8131 using BariatricPal mobile app
