What meds are you on? For the first year after surgery, I was on pantoprosol (I think that's how it's spelled). The surgeon said it was to protect the stomach lining and help keep acid down. I...

Hey! Awesome news! So glad to hear from you again, congratulations!
It's very important that you follow your post-op diet. You are still healing, even if you can eat things you shouldn't. I wouldn't, for example, consider chicken salad a soft food unless it was put...
Congratulations!
Pedicure and new outfit! Congratulations!!!
If your surgeon isn't concerned, then you should be fine as long as you do your six days of pre-op. It's funny, but I would have to read back to find out how long my pre-op was. I think it was two...
I think a lot of it is adjusting to not having food as a crutch. You're used to turning to food when you start to have feelings that you aren't real sure how to deal with, and now you couldn't do...
This is completely and totally normal. I call it mourning food, but other people blame hormones, etc. You have made a LOT of changes in your life and you are going from relying on food as a crutch to...
I like your attitude! I'm losing really slowly now too. The first five or so months I was dropping weight like crazy, but the last year it's been pretty slow. I worried at first but now find I don't...
I can't wait to hear about when you go back. I was at Universal last year and rode with no problems. The previous year I wouldn't have fit (I'm sure of it but was too intimidated to even try!).
Hey! Glad to hear of your success. I remember when you had your surgery :) Congratulations! I totally know the feeling of going on a roller coaster and not having to worry hahaha I went to...
I had to lose 10 pounds between my initial consultation and my surgery. I lost 13 during my pre surgery diet, so it wasn't really a problem.
Even if you do get samples, I would advise you not to stock up ahead of time. A lot people find that post-surgery their tastes change. I experienced this big time with the shakes. I still can't...
Not a mistake :) Right now your stomach is swollen and hardly anything is able to pass through very easily- even water. If you consider that you just had a major organ cut up and ripped out of your...
It isn't going to matter. What's going to make the difference is your behavior changes when it comes to eating habits and lifestyle.

Bariatric Advantage will usually send samples.
I think complacency is what slows a lot of us down. It's easy to forget that you're working on something here and it takes constant vigilance. Not every day is a good day for me, but I've also...
Good luck with your surgery! Just remember everyone is different and everyone can reach their goal but in their own time and their own way. I told myself I would never compare my progress with...
Hey! Good to see others are still around! You look amazing! I've decided I need to keep in touch with the community, even if it's only occasionally. Only other sleevers know and fully understand...
It's been a long time since I've posted on here, and I guess I kind of feel like it's tim again. I don't recognize most of the names I see on the forums anymore, and that's kind of weird because...
Since about month 8 or 9 I have been losing 2-4 pounds a month. I would love to lose faster, but the truth is that I'm eating well and working in exercise when I can do I think I'm losing at a...
I generally recommend following the program you're on, but if you are getting your protein naturally, get off the shakes! Natural is healthier.
I assume you are talking about how you will be eating once you've recovered and gotten the "all clear" from the doctor saying you can eat "normal" food again. I strongly recommend that you stick with...
What you're experiencing is perfectly normal. You know that after surgery things will be different. I'm not going to lie, sometimes it's really really hard, especially when you find yourself sitting...
