I would put my pills in a zip lock bag, then crush them with a hammer. Then I would mix the powder with a tiny sip of water. Tasted gross but better then swallowing them before you are allowed too....
I am getting alot out of this thread.
I am on day 3 of doing the 5 day pouch test and hoping it will help me get back on track.
I lost 80 lbs in the first 7 months but have been stalled for close...
I was told to crush my pills into a little water for the first month post op. it tasted nasty but it was easy on my stomach.
Hi! I know it seems tough now and like you will never eat normally again, but you will! I am 6 months post op and eating very normal-meaning a variety of normal foods. I do stick to the rules...
I was sleeved in May as well and am having a very similar experience with hunger. If I go too long without eating, it is BAD! I feel horrible. But, it still only takes 1/2 cup of food give or take to...
My surgeon said not to lift anything over 10 lbs for the first 4 weeks I believe. My daughter is 4 so it wasn't so hard for me (she can us the step to climb into the bath, etc.) I would get down on...
best of luck to you! such an inspiration! I am 6 months out from surgery and have been thinking alot about having a second child. My first is 4 1/2. My surgeon said not to get pregnant for one year...

hey! Congrats on your weight lose! I am 6 months out, and I still struggle with eating fast. I am really trying to work on it. I have lost close to 80 lbs and I haven't ever overeaten majorly, but I...
I am about 5 months post op and am drinking coffee again. About 1 cup a day...sometimes 2 but no more than that.
thank you all for your thoughtful responses. It's good to know we are not alone in this. I felt confident in choosing not to tell prior to the surgery, it's just now that it is going so well for me...
Since my weight loss is noticeable, friends have been asking me what is my secret.
Since I am a very private person, I didn't tell many people I was having the surgery so as not to be the object of...
HI!! You have come so far, don't give up! I don't know about you, but my surgeon totally installed in me how dangerous drinking bubbly drinks is to sleeved patients. I was never a soda drinker but I...
I took omeprazole for three months following the sleeve per my surgeons instructions.
I am 4 1/2 months post op and I am losing hair like crazy. Started around 3 months post op. Tons of strands come out everyday. No bald spots yet but it is freaking me out. I do take vitamins and...
Hello!
I live in NYC too! it was chilly today. I think what you are experiencing is totally normal. I am 4 months out and I think my chilliness has gotten better. I felt very chilly for the first...
I lost 6 bags on potatoes! (66 lbs)

Hello!
The side effect of surgery/weight loss is happening to me! My hair is starting to shed like crazy. Advice? I take vitamins everyday as per my NUT recommendations. Any advice on additional...
I am two 1/2 months out and find I enjoy one glass of wine once a week. I find if I try to have two glasses in one night I feel wickedly hung over. My tolerance is way lower. I also like white...
I am over two months out and use Tabasco/ hot sauce to flavor my food sometimes. I have had no adverse effects.
My surgeon made a point to tell me to not eat more than one piece of fruit a day. I am assuming her reason is because of the sugar/ calories.
I was sleeved two months ago and I have a 4 year old. I wasn't allowed to lift her for 5 weeks.
The first 2 weeks were the hardest on terms of energy. I let her watch more kids movies then I would...
My heart goes out to you!! Wishing you the best of luck and hope you are on the mend soon.
Are you talking about while you are on the soft food stages in the month or so after surgery? That stage doesn't last too long, and you can use other protein sources: soft fish, tofu, eggs...greek...
