I've had the same trouble last few months and I'm 11 months post-op. I didn't loose for 2 months + gained 10lbs. Today is my first day to track my food again and your message was first on screen. I...

I was able to eat yogurt on day 3 after the got cleared of clear liquids from hospital. I love yogurt too and have some everyday.

I haven't even asked my Dr about alcohol but from websites etc I think you are supposed to wait at least 6 months. Now with that said, I think everybody is different and should listen to your own...

I think everyone is different and therefore can tolerate different amounts of liquid. I was able to drink 8 oz of fluid on day 2 while still in the hospital. It has been 3 months since surgery and...

Why can't you attend local wls support groups in your area? Just attend and say you did use a local Dr or hospital... it should be any of their business where you had your surgery done. The end...

I'm 10 weeks post sleeve. I eat 3-5oz of food at a meal. I measure everything and just eat until I'm full even if I don't eat all 4 oz. If I'm still hungry after 4oz I wait 15 mins then add 1-2 more...

I'm sad to say I went down a couple band sizes and 2 cup sizes already before surgery losing 90lbs. I'm still a 42D now and hope not to drop below a 38C which I was on my wedding day. In my twenties,...

I too had constipation from surgery. I didn't have a BM until day 15. Dr said that I probably didn't have enough solids in my body to go. I did use Miralex 2T 2x day for 4 days. Sorry you feel yucky...

Welcome to the site. I'm 2 weeks post-op and I think the preparation is the worst part. When you are on a liquid diet pre-op you do get hungry and irritable. Good thing after surgery when you are...

Congratulation! I am 12 days sleeved and I too had less pain than I imagined. You will definitely feel better once home in your own bed around familiar surroundings. I still have that side pain but...

My surgery is Dec 9th. I was looking for recipes for protein shakes and I stumbled on this site. It looks fun and could be a good outlet for advice & inspiration.
