I bought a bag of oranges and found I couldn't tolerate the pulp and such, so I chew on an orange slice and spit the rest out!

It's a small world. I, too, have a severely autistic grandson. He's 11, has no speech, and is still in diapers. How did you handle puberty? We are just starting with that.

There seems to be this big urge a week or two out to try something forbidden. I had it, but luckily didn't act on it (on the advice of someone in this forum). It would have seriously hurt my healing sleeve. When you are able to consume more, you probably will have dumping syndrome if you eat the...

Kiss that bad puppy goodbye!

Welcome to the forum. You've done great so far and will continue to do so with your good attitude. Who is this 1 person who hasn't lost weight with WLS???? I'd like to meet them! My doctor told me that when people come to him and say they can't lose after WLS, when they do more research they...

Welcome to the forum. You will find friends here, it's not a big site but there are a lot of good people on it. Good luck to you.

Sad to say, there's really not much nutrition in bread so it shouldn't be a main staple for you post-op. Have you read Wheat Belly by William Davis? He claims that our over-engineered wheat supply has become harmful for us and shouldn't be consumed at all. I agree with him (about the...

How about renie+++. Keeps the original and reminds you to stay positive. :)

The best support you can give is not to criticize. Asking honest questions is helpful, too.

Yes, the pulse ox test showed average saturation levels at 82%.

Thanks for the info and the google link. The point of my post was to answer Sue-t's question about "what do you wish you had known about before surgery". I didn't get any information on maintenance pre-op. In fact, I'm going to get my first lesson on maintenance at my 6-month appointment when I...

OOH, the hits just keep on coming. Thinking about you and praying too

I will have another sleep study before discontinuing the CPAP, but the oxygen wasn't related to sleep apnea.

Congratulations on identifying your triggers, figuring out what was wrong with your meal plan, and deciding to fix it. You will do great!

Please don't be ashamed to go back to your Bariatric center. That's what they are there for. They are invested in your success and want you to succeed. Also make sure to join a face to face support group if you aren't already. I don't know what kind of carbs you are eating, but if it's cakes and...

I wish that someone would have told me that the post nasal drip from allergies would hit my little stomach in the morning and give me morning sickness. Fortunately it was fresh on my mind and during an appointment I asked the nurse about it and she suggested that I take my allergy medicine at...

I went back to work 2 weeks after sleeving. If you can possibly stretch your leave out a little, you should.

I drank Coke (full strength or some equivalent) every day of my life. I recently tried a few sips. The carbonation didn't go well, and guess what, it didn't taste good!

Good for you, Cheyenne. I kind of miss the oxygen. It made me feel so good when I woke up. Clear headed

Thanks for the input Ralph. I'll pass it along to my new PCP.
