I am 5 months out from my gastric sleeve. I started 5,000 mcg of Biotin immediately post op as well as multi-vitamin. I have been tracking my protein on My Fitness Pal.

I had an esophagram today. Doctor wanted to check to see why I am vomiting. I cant keep things down. He said there is no blockage or scar tissue. Take things slow and chew my food completely. I am 69 days out with a 47 pounds lost but I am unable to eat soft foods. For dinner today McDonald's Broccoli/Cheese soup, three tablespoons and up it came. I am tired of vomiting, it is easier to avoid eating. Any similar situations?

Today I am down 40 pounds. I know I live in Michigan and it is winter but I am never cold. Recently I just cant get warm, is this a common complaint? Brrrr!
