So my Surgery was on June 29 which is a little over 2 months ago but I am noticing my appetite is increasing. I just finished a 6 oz sirloin steak. Is that concerning? Should I be eating up-to 4 oz of food at a time? Am I overeating? I’m still only eating upto 1000 calorie a day but for me to be able to finish a 6 oz steak was alarming. I know people can usually eat 6 oz of food maybe 10 months out but I’m able to eat it now. Any advice? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you so much for your guidance. I hope we don’t have to do this for the rest of our life? I’m this is just the first couple or three months or so? Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What kind of benefiber are you taking? If you are taking the gummies then how many are you doing daily? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you all for your suggestions. I’ll have to do some reset and I needed some munching while I was watching a movie. String cheese is an excellent idea and I’ll bring that to me. I appreciate the honest feedback on this group and I’ll sure to very careful from now on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so I have been having bowel movement every 4-5 days and todays Bowel movement I had to put a lot of pressure and when I passed the stool, I had an excruciating pain in the rectal area. What should I do? Should I continue start taking the softener? When will this issue end? Is it because I’m taking multi vitamins with IRON? My doctor told me stop taking mult vitamins with iron for. a week. My fiber intake bas been low because I’m avoiding grains and beans. Should I start taking fiber supplements? I have equate prebiotic fiber supplements I can take? Please help. Pain is very bad. I just applied some preparation it’s not helping. Maybe I’ll try witch hazel wipes. Did anyone go through this? Any suggestions?? Thank you so much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I have to make a confession…I’m 28 days post op and I was the at movie theater yesterday and couldn’t resist their Nachos and cheese but I only had 10 chips with cheese dip. I felt guilty and skipped dinner and had a protein shake. Does anyone go through these issues that early or is it just me? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so this is my third week post op and even though my diet plan doesn’t mention anything about crackers I have been eating ritz reduced crackers and my stomach is taking them really well. I am not munching on them but I had about 4-5 crackers today. I don’t know if I should be guilty? Or is eating crackers normal at the soft food stage? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How important is to chew the food properly? I am told to chew the food 20-30 times but it’s just too much for me. It’s like no taste after chewing it multiple times. Anyone here that doesn’t follow this rule post op? What are the post complications with not chewing enough? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so took the vitamin chewable tablet with food and I was ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t take it with food. I took it first thing in the morning so an empty stomach. I also have the ones that are capsules. I’m too scared to them now lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I started taking soft foods (scrambled eggs, tilapia and ground beef)…I have been holding it all well along with medication pills. Today I started the multivitamin chewable tablet and I threw up right after 5 minutes of taking. It was a big chewable tablet (Bariatric ultra vitamin solo) and I chewed properly but it all came out. Any guidance here on what should I do? Maybe I should start taking the capsules of multi vitamin because I have been taking other capsules (Tylenol, Antio biotics) just well.

Here is my plan. Just like everyone else said, all plans are different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m good but I still lower right pain…I guess the incisions are still healing? I’m still not able to bend down fully. My surgery was on June 29. I have started pureed foods/soft foods as that is part of my week 2 plan. I had 2 oz of tilapia yesterday for lunch and dinner and experience any issues. Im just worried about the lower right stomach pain….I don’t know if it’s muscles or incisions but it hurts like crazy when I try to bend down. When will the pain go away? Thanks.

Ok I’m really watching out what I eat and tomorrow is my first test as I’m going out with friends to eat. Obviously I’ll carry my protein shake with me but I had a question about coffee/tea..would it be ok to have the coffee/tea with caffeine with milk? This is would obviously be just one time but I don’t want to have any ramifications. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m only day 4 but I keep hearing different things from people on how much can you eventually eat? I guess this question is for people who have had the procedure for a year or so? I am being that I will never be able to have more than 4 oz in one time? Is that true? Does your intake goes up eventually? I’m sure people cheat here and there but what if you are invited to a buffet? How much can you eat without vomiting? I know I shouldn’t be thinking about these things I am just curious… Thank you, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
