Good thanks finished my last nut appointment the other day! Talked to coordinator and now just have to wait and see:/ they said they will call me when everything is finally submitted so I will know when the clock starts. Glad to hear you are doing good! What kind of vomit issues were you having?

Hi! I was having trouble keeping anything non-liquid down. I am actually still on about an 80% liquid/mushy diet. They aren't sure why this is happening. I don't have a stricture or blockage or leak (although that was the initial concern). I just have a really picky sleeve. I can only eat about 1-2 ounces at a time, depending on the day/meal. I'll be 15 weeks on Wednesday.

How are you doing?

Wow! Sounds about like me lol it was awful

im glad you're doing well! i cant believe its been 6 months ready! feels like just a month or so since we all met on this thread hows the progress been?

after I gave in & started back on liquids it all started feeling better. I transitioned back to mushies about 2 weeks later & have tried solids but they just hurt. I can't tolerate animal Proteins at all. I'm now lactose intolerant. And Im not cleared to have raw veggies, yet. It's been a slowwwww process. But the weight loss has been decent, so I can't really complain. They keep encouraging me to re-try more solids, but I haven't had much luck. My NUT is afraid I'll get (or already am) mentally stuck, so they want me to start seeing an eating disorder specialist at an outpatient clinic. :/

WTG! That's an awesome loss so far!

Mine has slowed to a crawl recently. I used to lose 4-6#/wk & now I've only lost 4# in 3 wks. It's very frustrating.
