Hi all,

Had my check-up yesterday, and it seems although the eating issue is an issue, if you get all your Vitamins in the main thing to concentrate on is hydration.... I'm back in a month to check progress again, but no alarm bells are ringing at the moment.... Phew!!!

I had same problem, I finally had my gallbladder out and I am just getting to feeling right. I was sleeved in July and GB out in December. I still get sick if I eat too fast.

I am just starting week 6, and I was told by my dietician to eat with a teaspoon to make sure your not putting too much in your mouth so for someone to say they are only eating 6 teaspoons of food makes perfect sense to me. I am the same, if I eat its only 4-6 teaspoons but I try and ensure I have three meals a day so it adds up to extra. I do still get disappointed that I can't finish a meal even though its a tiny portion, if I'm enjoying the food but my tummy says no way I just stop. I've learnt not to push it as if I continue I get very sick. I do carry a water bottle with me everywhere or I forget to drink, this got me pass my stall and is a blessed relief when I'm feeling very dry, I constantly take sips x

I hope I have anyway, if I start to stall again I may just cry lol it was horrid to stall but I read lots of feedback on here and the main advice was drink...drink..drink. So I bought my Water bottle and carry it everywhere, sipping as I go :-)

I am 1 1/2 years out and it has only been a few months that the regular sickness is going away. But I still get sick once a week or every two weeks. I needed to identify what was making me sick, at first it was eggs and cheeses. I can eat them now in little doses. Breads seem to plug me up and I get sick fast, so I have learned to not eat the bread or have one small nibble. I also will eat flat tortillas, not pita bread. Eating too fast has been my problem also, I can't eat at the table I have to eat in front of TV to distract me from my small plate. Also make sure to not drink with meals, that seems to get me sick pretty quick.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
