    I have figured out how to manage "belching" and eating better

    Great advice I'll try it. Curiously, the sleeve has a greater chance for gas and acid reflux. So this trick might just work, I hope so.

    New to here.

    Hi Christy 24 You probably didn't finish your psych eval. I know I had to fil out a long questionare And have an interview. I'm thinking you just ran out of time that day. Don't worry it's a waste of time, energy, and happiness.

    almost 5 years post op and cant loose more

    The Home page has a diet for just this reason; apparently it is a common problem. You can find the diet in the articles section of the Home Page. The article is called "5 Day Pouch Test". It seems to jump start the weight loss cycle again. You'll do great and reach your goal for sure. Also...

    Restlessness??

    I know exactly how you feel. Last night was the first good nights sleep I've had in weeks. I had all this energy and that nesting compulsion like just before childbirth or taking a long trip making sure everything is secure weeks into the future as best I could. But now is the calm phase that I...

    Hospitalization, Homecoming and a new start

    That is fabulous news. I will order the Calcium Citrate from Unjury today. Do you know who makes the chewable iron that your doctor gave you? I can't imagine what crushed iron tastes like. I guess I could find out but I may not need iron anyway so I'll wait. But a chewable iron would be good to...

    Hospitalization, Homecoming and a new start

    Wow that is a wonderful gift your surgeon gave you. Thank you for the link. My nut doesn't want us to eat anything chewy for about 6 weeks I think. So the yummy Viactive calcium chews are out. She said the clog the opening to the stomach. Thanks anyway.

    Hospitalization, Homecoming and a new start

    Omg that sounds sooo good right now. I went shopping. I couldn't find liquid or even chewable Calcium Citrate even at GNC nor could I find even a small B-1 vitamin so I may as we'll stick with what I have already. Oh well shopping helped waste a couple of hours. Oooo I'm getting grumpy. I'm...

    Thanks for the advice. My Dr has me on Actigall cap 3x day, for Gallbladder protection, Protonix tab 1x day, the PP; both will be taken for 6 months. I also have Loenox subcutaneous injections every 12 hours for 7 days to prevent blood clots. I have powdered vitamins that can be mixed with...

    New and in need of support and guidance!

    This evidently a common problem because on this site is a 5 Day Pouch Test diet for this very reason. You can find it on the Home Page scroll 1/2 way down and you'll find it in the Articles section on the left, I believe. This diet goes through the different stages of diets post surgery to...

    Hospitalization, Homecoming and a new start

    Thank you. I have some pretty shot glasses of my Grandmas that I thought I'd use for fun. I kinda figured my tummy would tell me what I could or could not do. I've got the sip sip sip....down but I haven't actually timed my sipping. I will today. I'm on my clear liquid pre op diet now. I report...
