I do have rosacea and it has flared up since surgery. I also find my face gets hot and flushed with blood sugar spikes since surgery.

I was sleeved 11/1 and today I have reached 30lbs since surgery. They weight loss has not really stalled, but is slower this last month. I also need to pick up on the exercise. I severely sprained my ankle 2 weeks after surgery so that has been limited to physical therapy 2 times a week. Hoping to hit the gym starting next week. Keep up the good work!!!

I had an EGD before surgery and had mild inflammation at that time. I was negative for H. Pylori, but did have severe reflux prior to surgery. If you were negative for H. Pylori whatever they gave you to take after surgery ie prilosec, pepcid...should help with inflammation.

I was sleeved on 11/1. I had both. Doc fixed my hiatel hernia. I only have heartburn if I eat too much. I have learned very quickly not to eat too much lol

I found if I did not get my protein and water in I stalled. I genepro feom Amazon, GNC has it as well. It is a small amount of powder for 30gm of protein. I add it to my water with some crystal light or MIO. Can get 60 to 90gm in easily while also getting your water in.

Low potassium or magnesium can cause as well.

I never had this problem either. Was 5 days post op with colace. I take colace daily and need a smooth mouth tea every other day to go every 3 to 5 days and I am 4 weeks out.

Pinterest and kindle have some good resources as well. I got a free stage 2 and 3 booklet on Kindle.

I found that the whey powders made me bloat and feel very uncomfortable. I switched to premade shakes, isopure and genpro. Since then the bloating has mostly disappeared.

First 3 days were rough. After that I was able to get my protein shakes and 48oz of water in daily. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Started phase 2 one week after surgery. Found I do well soups, pudding, and premade shakes. I can do Unjury powder shakes but all other powder shakes made me nauseous and bloated. Today is my 2 week mark. First day of phase 3 for me is Thanksgiving!!! Good luck.

I did ok on Unjury unflavored and chicken broth when I could get them to mix well with fluid. And god, whatever you do don't heat them up to much or they will cook on top of the fluid. I am not to keen on cold chicken broth. When I started the flavored whey powder products, I ran into the problem of discomfort and gagging.

I am 2 weeks out tomorrow. I started having this problem yesterday. Started drinking slower, that did not help. Only seems to happen with powder protein. If I have a ready made shake or soup, I am fine, but any protein powder makes me uncomfortable and has me gagging.
