I have made up my mind to invest in a juicer and I know nothing about them. If you a have a juicer, do you mind letting me know if you like it and the brand name. Trying to get an idea of the best juicer to buy that is not over the top expensive.
I know you are not a new post-op. But I used to teach a class where I used a empty 2-liter soda bottle to represent what the old stomach could hold and then the bottlecap from that soda bottle to represent what the new pouch can hold. At your stage you can probably hold less than 1/2 cup of solid food.

Ok, thank you. I feel fine today and did so after vomiting. Can't believe I over ate. Going to take it nice and easy.
You may have eaten too much at once, or you might have something like a stomach flu. After vomiting, it is a good idea to stick to liquids for a day or so to keep the pouch from getting inflamed. Also sip the liquids slowly so you don't get sick again.

I just had my labs done a month ago and was told to increase my vitamin d from 2000 iu to 4000 iu. so I guess it depends on what your labs are showing. The dr told me he would adjust my intake if my labs increase but could also increase my intake if they are still decreasing.
It is very normal to worry about this but don't let it sabotage your success. I am only 1-3 men in my support group and we hear about this a lot from women at the meetings. They said they can find garmets that will help with the excess skin but you may still need some removal and from what I have seen if you have enough excess skin to cause pain you can get it covered for removal.
I had mine surgically removed, but honestly, I would have taken the excess skin any day of the week over being super morbidly obese again. Plus, it was easy to hide in clothes. I'm the only one who knew it was there (well, other than my husband and my doctor!)

Sounds like he is! I don't blame you for looking for another doctor. You need one that will support you each step of the way.
I grazed on fruits throughout the day today and at 6:30 I tried having some turkey and carrots. Unfortunately, it caused a very upset stomach and within 15-20mins I was vomiting. Did the grazing plus my meal have been to much and be considered overeating? I did not like the feeling of my stomach being in knots for 15-20mins. But what a relief now that it's out! Is my pouch ok if I vomit? What if it was to much food, is my pouch ok? Thinking back on what I ate today: strawberries for breakfast, string cheese for a dairy snack, apples and grapes at lunch, yogurt for dairy snack, a few blueberries, and then the turkey and carrots.
Much of it can be reduced or even eliminated with skin surgery and targeted liposuction after the fat cells have emptied out through diet n exercise .
I use a couple of things that help - one is 2% Salicylic acid acne body n face wash available cheaply in any drugstore. ( Neutrogena makes it but most stores carry identical generic versions on the same shelf)
Scrubbing my skin with this in the shower and using it to wash my face turns over the skin slightly faster than it normally would . Since we actually sport seven layers of skin getting the topmost dead one off efficiently lets a natural tightening happen as you lose .
Try it I think you'll like the results ( and the grapefruit scent smells good! )
For double chin and sagging neck and lower face issues there's a device they sell on home shopping that's a facial exerciser .... You put it between your chest and under chin area and the spring inside provides resistance that very quickly tightens your neck and jowl area . It costs about forty bux with shipping... very much worth it .
There are also other facial exercises you can look up on you tube they look weird but work as well . I often do them at traffic lights ! ( people probably think I'm seriously strange lol
