[motherof5 364]

I came across this in the post op section and wanted to share. There is a site that will provide bariatric supplements if your insurance will accept it. You can call them or fill out the info on their website. I already did and I hope I can that needed help.the link is below.

Also, do you think we should move the August sleevers thread to the post op section?

[amorga 35]

I think that would be a great idea. How is that done tho? Is the person who opened the thread able to move it, or does it need to be closed and restarted in the post-op section?

Don't get discouraged, I'm right there with you. I was sleeved 8/25 and lost 9 lbs. I know it will come off eventually. I will not let a calorie defeat me.

I need some advice.. How do you get past the head hunger and craving sweets?! I don't want to blow my success by eating something with sugar in it. I have a family reunion this weekend and I know it's going to hard around all the food... But I know I can do it, just wondering if someone can give me some advice to get through it. Thanks in advance:)

I have to cook for a family of 8, well 7 if you take me out of the picture. I feel bad cooking and not knowing if the flavor is on point so a few times I actually put the chicken in my mouth chewed it a little and spit it out. I got the flavor but didn't swallow the calories or eat before I was supposed to ( I was sleeved on 8/26). I know it sounds gross but if you have to do that a few times and politely put a napkin to the mouth to get rid of what you don't want going down, that might help. Good luck!

I just did the same thing tonight.. No fun cooking if I have to serve it and not not if it's on point... Spit it straight out though

Staying busy helps me. I struggle more with head hunger when I'm watching tv for more than an hour. There are so-- many freakin' food commercials OMG. Popsicles help with my sweet issue. That and a bad incident when I cheated on my pre-op diet and had ice cream. My stomach was VERY ANGRY.

Hang in there you can do it

[soniaJ 49]

I was on a stall for 4 days and I am only 16 days post opp. It hard not to be discouraged. But today I woke up and lost 1.2 lbs thank god.

[DevineMissM 59]

Yeah...congrats.

[papoose 48]

My third being sleeved. How did you get rid of the gas and burping?

[Galaxy Girl 68]

@@papoose I did not have issue with gas, but am told walking helps. I use Miralax daily and that keeps me regular.

I was in the 15th lost 18lbs the first week. Then it slowed to mere ounces a day. Now it's 12 oz to a lb again in my 3rd week. At one week out the Dr ordered me to eat soft foods and that's what caused it for me. I wasn't getting enough calories and blacking out. I started at 220 now today I'm at 195
