    To be honest, I still forget myself (I'm 3 and a bit months out) and eat too fast sometimes, followed by that uncomfortable feeling (and sometimes throw up) - but it feels like it has more to do with...

    Re: Hair?? DO I get to keep any?

    I'm not sure what the main factor is behind the hair loss. Personally, I am just over 3 months out now, and I have not yet experienced it. Like many, based on research prior to surgery, I have been...
  4. Re: How does everyone's sleeve handle spicy foods?

    Pre-sleeve, I wasn't really a big fan of too hot or spicy foods, but I did tolerate 'mild' fine enough. Post-op, I can't even do 'mild' without major discomfort, and what I'm going to describe as...

    Re: Feeling irritated * cant eat anything*

    I think every single surgeon/bariatric group has their own unique set of recommendations - and that's for everything related to the surgery, like whether or not you go on a pre-op diet, what kind of...
  9. Re: Has any body experience constipation a month out.

    At the recommendation of my NUT, I was taking (and still take) probiotics daily from about a month before surgery. This seemed to be enough to keep things regular during pre-op diets (ATKINS-esque...

    Re: Weight loss after sleeve

    As far as the weight loss post surgery is concerned, you've probably realized by the responses so far that everyone is different! I'll pile on to that and add that I actually gained weight in the...

    Re: Questions about Water intake and other

    As far as the constipation part goes, my doctor told me that Miralax (Restoralax in Canada) was mild enough to use every day if I needed to, to keep things moving, I usually put a 'dose' in my water...

    Re: Gall Bladder Removal?

    The first time I had an attack, I had no idea what was going on - I'd never felt anything similar before, and it felt like being stabbed in the shoulder blades, and just continued twisting. I...

    Re: Has anybody felt this.

    When I was on pureed food stage, I did try the refried beans - which I really loved - I had them with some extra melted cheese. But I did find they were REALLY heavy, and felt almost like I'd eaten...
