I take them and have had no problems so far. Why such discrepancy, I wonder?

@Mimi...I'd check with your doctor and let us know what his take is as you haven't had your surgery yet. Maybe he can shed some insight as to how long this lovely side effect lasts. It's a doozie!
I'm with you! Those are my favorite foods since they are so neutral and go down so easily. I'm wondering if it's the anesthesia....that can screw up your senses for a while?
Me, too! It's like my olfactory senses are on overdrive. If I smell a disinfectant that smells even remotely like the clinic I was in in Mexico, I'll gag. And men's cologne...good Lord, gentlemen....
You've lost a lot more weight than I have. I am worried that I can hold too much food "comfortably" in my new stomach. Congratulations on your wondeful weight loss...we were only a day apart and...
Thank you so much for that link. Never heard that information. My boss had this surgery 3 years ago from the same doctor, and has no trouble drinking soft drinks so maybe that wasn't high on their...
I don't have any problems now. The first time, I had to wait until it was pretty flat and then sip....and I never heard that it will stretch your tummy. That wasn't in any of my brochures from...
Could you share what you eat on a daily basis? I am four months out and only down 30 lbs....so afraid that I'm going to be one of the failures. Thanks and congratulations to you...you're my new...
I dreamt about food for the first two weeks....grilling every kind of meat, fish, chicken, etc. I dreamed about huge green salads loaded with Ranch style dressing. I made my husband describe every...
I am hungry every three hours...oddly enough.
You can do, Carlee!!! We are all behind you here. God speed, Peggy.
How??? How have you done four pounds a week? I have totally stopped....at 30 lbs ( at one month from surgery) and can't get back into the losing mode. What do you eat? Help !!!
You've already done much better than I have. For some reason, I cannot get passed the 30 lb mark...drives me crazy. I am now going back to a more Atkins-like approace to see if that will kick-start...
One bite won't hurt you...and be sure to have a turkey leg to gnaw on throughout the day. You'll fill up with protein and then won't want any of the fried food they offer. And just think how good...
Congratulations to you my fellow Dallasite! I had my surgery on May 4th...and like you, I have no problems eating almost anything. However....and here's the biggie...I have only lost 30lbs and...
Your other symptoms sounded like mine, when I realized that my blood pressure was too low. Do you take your bp? Are you on meds? I very quickly had to cut my meds back by 75%!
Once they remove the majority of your stomach, there is no place for all the bodily fluids to accumulate, so they have to drain them....and watch for infection. Look up seroma while you're at it. ...
Does your doctor know that the gastric sleeve used to be used as part one in a two step bariatric process when having bypass? For those who are morbidly obese, they first did the sleeve and then...
This varies all over the place. Some docs remove it before you go home, my doctor wanted it in for two weeks. I took it out at ten days...yes, my husband did the pulling. Lord, it was weird. I...
Try Sugar Busters....other than using cream, it's a very high-protein, high glycemic index foods kind of cooking. Love it.
I am so impressed! How have you lost so much weight? I'm four months out and only down 30 lbs. Pleaes share your tips!!
YES . . . I have one again. ;-)
Tums!! GasX; infant mylanta; or anything like that to help coat your stomach. And keep drinking your protein drinks and fluids.
I, too, just go to my PCP. So far, it's been almost three months and no complications. I hope it stays that way. Good luck!
I can eat way more than I thought I would be able to. Had a small hamburger for lunch today. Last night, however, I was able to only get down a few bites of chicken and some roasteed vegetables...
