Also I have an appointment with my surgeon next Friday and I will ask about the Furosemide. I went to Walmart and got a regular Water pill and I think it helps a little Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all so much. I just wanted to confirm that it's Water and it will go away. I thought about increasing my calories to 1000 to see if the weight will go down but I was scared to do that too. Lol. I will increase the Protein and the scale that weighs water weight sounds GREAT I had no idea those types of scales were out there. Thanks again, I'll keep you posted Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hi. I had the gastric sleeve on July 18, 2016. I was on hydroclorothiazide for over a year before surgery. By October 2016 my bp dropped so on November 8th (2 weeks ago) my primary doctor told me to stop the hydroclorothiazide because my bp was so low. Since the surgery I had lost 55 pounds. I was steadily losing weight. My surgery weight was 297 and my lowest weight so far is 241, 3 and a 1/2 months after surgery. I am no where near goal. After I stopped the hydroclorothiazide, I gained 8 pounds in two weeks!! I only eat about 800-900 calories a day. I literally cry because I don't know what to do. I even walk between 1 and 2 miles a day to try and keep the weight away. I went back to the doctor to see if he will put me back on the hydroclorothiazide but he won't. Please, anyone has experienced this, how much did you gain and when did you start losing again. I'm thinking about lowering my calories to 500-600 a day to see if that will kick start my weight LOSS again Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I had gastric sleeve surgery on July 18, 2016. I still feel pain because I went from a gastric band to the gastric sleeve. I have pain at the port site removal area. I feel nausea and very, very tired. I'm on full liquids and starting purée tomorrow. I eat about 300 calories a day. I've lost about 21 pounds so far. Every day gets better.

It depends. Sometimes it's just a burp or a little food and mucus comes up. Sometimes it's painful throwing up and chest pains. It happens to me if I eat too fast or too much. If you talk while you eat it can happen. You just have to be careful to chew everything well and stop when you are satisfied.

Productive burp (regurgitation)

Hi I am a single mom also of two children ages 11 and 3. I've had the band for 2 months and would like to have a buddy also. So far i've lost 36 pounds and I had my first fill of 5ccs yesterday. I would love to have someone to buddy with.

Hi...I used to eat popsicles to help. Maybe it's the cold that curbs the hunger. Just keep thinking to yourself "soon I will be on soft food" I am 2 months post op and was told I could eat "regular food" but I actually like the soft foods better. I eat WAY more fish than I ever ate and my hair is actually growing. I probably eat more protien now than I did before the surgery (I love carbs). I had the surgery April 8, 2010 and so far i've lost 36 pounds. I had my first fill yesterday of 5cc (not plesant) I am back to eating very little again and my esophgus feels swollen - I hope it feels better soon.
