I had my surgery on August 13th (I think) I am eating and drinking fine but I developed reflux and have to take medicine before I eat. I still have a tough time with some foods but for the most part I am eating what I want just very small portions - make sure you are chewing your food into tiny bits and be sure you are taking good Vitamin supplements. I also still use the Bariatrics Advantage shake for Breakfast on most days to ensure I am getting my Protein. Can't ever seem to eat enough to get it all in. The shakes don't hurt my stomach.

I think all of us sleevers went thru a crappy period or two! Im 9 months out now. I promise you both...as soon as your new stomachs catch up' date=' your crappy feelings will pass and you will be able to eat & drink just fine. Hang in there![/quote']

Yeah what she said!!! I was right where you are at one month, today 9 months out breakfast was 3/4 cup kashi crunch with 5oz Greek yougart I shared a cheese stick and granola bar with my 2yr old for snack time a 30 gram Protein shake about an hour ago ,some mussels with parsley and lemon steaming right now for lunch, some chicken breast fillets marinating for dinner later, oh yeah a nice papaya I prepped yesterday for pm snack. I will probably eat 1000-1300 calories and close to 150 grams of Protein today. So there's hope my dear hang in there!!! I might note ,getting active Was the turning point for my energy level and allows me to eat , and not feel guilty.

I would suggest hydration G2 or pedialyte. Also I did better with room temp and warm drinks. I felt like every time I drank something cold everything would just tighten up on me. I also felt like I had a lump in my chest/deep throat area for a while till about the 6-8 weeks mark.

I'm approaching the 3 week mark and I found out if I don't eat or drink enough through the day I get light headed or feel dizzy. I still have pain eating certain foods or drinking milk, but I will mix and match a little, like putting a little milk in my cream of wheat in the morning, or drink my Water with a Protein mix.
