Hello everyone,

I will be 2 years post op in July (and 120 pounds gone) and I have been experiencing my first real "tummy issues" for the past week or so.

I am having terrible acidity issues along with gassiness, blo

Hey y'all,

 

So, last week I had a TERRIBLE stomach virus. We're talking five days of almost constant diarrhea (TMI). When I visited my doctor last Wednesday, I was a solid 250. 90 pounds down from my start weight.

 

I w

Good morning, friends! Hope you all are doing well.

 

I am five months post-op, 80 pounds down (!!!!!) and experiencing two issues. HAIR LOSS! Ugh. I was hoping to avoid this but I am losing an alarming amount of hair every time I wash.

Hello everyone! Long time, no talk. 

 

I am almost three months out from surgery and nearly 60 pounds down!!!! 

 

Quick question, lately it seems when eating it feels as if I can feel food moving into my stomach and it's

I was officially one month post-op yesterday and 27 pounds down!

 

This week I should start venturing back into regular foods. An

Like the subject line says, everything I attempt to eat (i'm on pureed foods) or drink today makes me feel so gassy and nauseous. Every sip of a protein shake brings on a belch.

 

Any ideas? 


honeywell posted a discussion topic 7 years, 8 months ago

I'm confused if I'm eating too much or not enough? Here is what I have eaten today. And keep in mind, these things were over the entire day. From 9 AM until 6 PM.

 

1 - 11 oz Premier Protein shake

1/2 - 5.3 oz Oikos Triple Zero

Hello all!

 

I am day 4 post-op and when I'm sipping on some chicken broth or eating a popsicle, etc sometimes it feels like my stomach swells up after I swallow and then deflates. It's not painful but UNCOMFORTABLE. Is this just gas? A

Had my surgery on Thursday, 7/14. I'm not even going to lie, I was in a lot of pain afterwards. Between the pain and nausea, it was almost unbearable. I'm home now. Feeling sore and sipping on water and chicken broth all day. A huge improvement!

I'm so nervous, guys. Just so nervous. I'm sitting here with tears about to well up in my eyes. Having so many thoughts about why I'm doing this. I KNOW I'm doing it for all the right reasons, but I can't get that through my head right now.

I have been reading on a few blogs/websites about using compression socks/stockings to prevent blood clots after surgery. I have not discussed this with my doctor as of yet, but I definitely will be before surgery on the 14th.

 

Did any


honeywell posted a discussion topic 7 years, 8 months ago

Vets, what would be your suggestion to bring to the hospital for my stay? Besides the obvious necessities.

 

I'm already thinking of what to pack in my little bag for the 14th. I have a comfy, lightweight night gown, socks, undies, a ve

Strange question but...

 

After your sleeve, do you feel full after a protein shake? I am on my two week post-op diet and I've been drinking 11 oz. Pure Protein shakes for breakfast. I will drink one and literally feel my stomach growl


honeywell posted a discussion topic 7 years, 9 months ago

So gutted, guys. My surgery date was moved back from 6/30 to 7/14. I know it's only a few weeks but I still feel so upset. My mindset was ready and now I feel like...gosh, more time to mull over this?! Ugh.

 

And, to top it all off, I w

Good morning, friends!

 

I have some serious inner turmoil going on. My surgery is scheduled for 6/30 and I have not told my best friend of 20 years. Please allow me to explain...

 

I am afraid of the "fat girls stick to
