I know, I know Salt/Sodium is the devil, but yesterday I had a small piece of corn on the cob (LOVE CORN) and put probably 10 sprinkles of sea salt on it and I swear an hour or so later my ankles...

Thanks EVERYONE, this is probably some of the best advice I’ve ever been given on here.

Hi Ladies & Gents……..Question, I’ve read on here where people have said we’re supposed to have anywhere from 1000 calories per day to some saying 1200 calories per day, which is it? Secondly, when...

Question, how much weight is normal to have lost at 2 months post op if you went in weighing AROUND 285? I do realize weight loss varies depending on how much you weighed going into surgery,. but...

God help me if I couldn’t ever have seafood again, Lol.
I’ve actually had sushi (California & Tempura Rolls) since surgery and it went down with no problem. My biggest concern was whether my...

CONGRATS to you lady!!!

HOLY SHT, if sleeve surgery makes a tummy tuck look like a walk in the park, I have to re-think my plan once my weight loss bottoms out. I’ve had a few surgeries in my lifetime, hernia, lap band,...

A close friend of mine was told by her PCD she needed to go on Dialysis a couple years ago. She refused and determined with some lifestyle changes, her kidney’s would improve. I know, I know, I...

@ KATRINA…….After reading your comment, I’m hopeful that I will one day be able to have a normal Easter Dinner, Memorial Holiday BBQ, 4th of July BBQ, Labor Day BBQ, Thanksgiving & Xmas dinners...

@ linzy2886, Lol, I laugh because I asked the same question 2 weeks ago. I’m 6 weeks out today and I do feel somewhat better than I did 2 weeks ago. I visited my PCD and he prescribed ‘Prilosec’...

@ rjkimbal, you're right, eating out is a waste right now. We’ll likely just takeout for at least the next 6 months or at least until I feel more comfortable. Thanks for the advice 

@ greenmomma, but that's the way I feel now, it’s a chore, suffering. I'm hoping at some point this feeling will subside. Last night was my first time sitting down in a restaurant since surgery and...

I can totally relate insurance wise, my husband’s insurance doesn’t cover weight loss surgery of any kind, NOT EVEN if it were life threatening. I guess they would rather cover heart bypass, stroke...

You’ll be fine, good luck to you :D

Good luck to you and I hope you feel better :)

I’ve been suffering with cold like symptoms probably since surgery (5 weeks out). Last Friday after work, I picked up some cold medicine with the hope that it would help with the coughing and mucus...

Interesting Joe Poppa, because that’s how I usually eat it anyway, LOL.
I think I’ll just wait a few more weeks, because it’ll be hard to eat a roll with that fluffy pillow of rice surrounding it...

Thanks ladies for the advice!!!!
I’m so afraid of upsetting my stomach, so
I think I’ll wait awhile before eating California/Tempura rolls again.

After reviewing my Post-Op nutritional instructions I see I can eat previously tolerated foods, BUT I have a question………
I’m thinking about picking up some California and Tempura Rolls (SUSHI) on...

Hey, when I got my Sleeve surgery there were 2 women who weighed no more than about 135 each getting 'Sleeve' surgery. There's no way a health care provider here in the states would approve that. You...

Bethee, you give me hope. So I’ll be able to eat a small piece of grilled chicken during the Memorial Day weekend without feeling like I’m gonna throw it all back up.

A 4 WEEK PRE-OP DIET, seriously? Are you having ‘Sleeve’ surgery done? Are you going through your insurance company? I notice when people go through their insurance companies, the doctors make them...

Did you have bacon and toast to? Lol, noooo just kidding. Maybe a glass of water would help it move on down.

I would suggest you see your Bariatric Surgeon.
I'm 1 month out and had an appt with my PCD yesterday. I'm experiencing heartburn, throwing up, excessive mucus. He prescribed something for the...

Hey, Breaking up, I’m 1 month out (2/23/15) and when I do try and eat something I’m scared to death of getting sick and throwing it back up, mainly because my stomach doesn’t feel like it use to or...
