I've only had it happen once where I actually vomited and it was the first time I ate corn. About 3 weeks post op..about 10 minutes after I ate it, it decided to needed to come back up. It was simply a matter of my stomach wasnt ready for it yet as I tried again a week later and it was fine. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

Everyone seems to call it something different. My dietician called it the foamies...its what happens when you eat something but dont chew it well enough or your stomach doesnt like it so it vacates it through making you vomit. Lots of foam and or slimy spit comes up with it. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I didn't tell anyone that I was having surgery or even thinking about it. I live in Canada so our process is different. We can't just walk into a surgeons office and say I want such a d such surgery how much is it. All of our surgeries (unless cosmetic) are covered by our healthcare/government. So you need to be referred ect. Anyway, when I started the process I didn't tell anyone. I knew what i wanted and didn't want to deal with the drama and people thinking they could talk me out of doing it. So I asked my doctor to refer me to my local bariatric clinic. It took 18 months to get into the program. But was so worth the wait. Not only would they be doing the surgery but I had unlimited access to a psychologist, dietician, nurse, doctor, surgeon and other specialists. They taught me a lot, how to maintain weight, the healthy way of eating. What to expect before and after surgery...and so much more. It was 9 months after joining the clinic that I met with my surgeon and signed my consent forms for surgery. 2 months after that I started my epic long liquid diet. Just before I started my liquid diet is when I told close friends and family. As I would have to explain why I wasn't eating and only drinking shakes anyway. By then I think they thought it was to late to talk me out of it anyway as I had RNY bypass 4.5 months later. Now, however I tell people. If someone asks me how I've lost weight I tell them from portion and calorie control as well as having surgery to help me. Most are genuinely curious about the surgery. So I look at it as a chance to educate and squash so many of the misconceptions about having weight loss surgery. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

It might be to dry. Try eating it with a little gravy or something to moisten it. That's what my dietician suggested for me and it worked. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I've never heard of it. I will have to check that out. It sounds interesting. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

True enough there is no falsehoods when chatting about a mutual interest. There is no reason to be boastful. It's a nice easy way to get comfortable with someone at the same time. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

Those are great ideas thank you. I will look into some for sure. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I've never used Tinder. But I have tried Plenty of Fish it was just a bunch of wanna hookup messages on there. I'm in Western Canada..but thank you for the advice. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I never thought of it that way. Perhaps I shall look into Tinder. Thanx for the ideas and feedback. It is greatly appreciated. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I haven't tried either of those. I'm a little hesitant with sites I need to pay for. Granted I understand the whole you get what you pay for thing. Having to pay for something generally weed out the less than serious types that are just looking for booty calls. I've nothing against the hookups I just don't know if it's something i could do..

Thank you for replying. Any ideas on where to meet people? I've tried dating sites in the past but was never met with anything other than "Hey do you wanna hook up?" kind of messages. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

To much of certain vitamins aren't good for you and can cause problems. For example to much calcium can cause kidney stones or gall stones. I'd stick to whatever was recommended that you take. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I've never cut or crushed my pills. I take them whole as is. I'm 9 months out from RNY. I take a Prenatal Vitamin, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Calcium Citrate and Biotin. I think most vitamins come in a liquid or chewable now though so maybe see if you can find either in the ones that you are having problems with. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I was on them last year..they are outrageously expensive I was lucky enough to have a doctor that gave me samples so I wouldn't have to pay for it. But Saxenda and Victoza are exactly the same drug just different brands. There is no difference in the one being lower than the other. When I went to the pharmacy though Victoza was cheaper than Saxenda. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app
