I am really sorry. No advice, but I am in a similar place. Sleeved on 10/29. I'm nauseated 90% of the time and have reflux 100% of the time. Luckily, I haven't thrown up yet. I just feel like I need to. And I can eat less now than I could about a month out. Just got off the phone with my doc's nurse and looks like more testing is in order. As I was crying and saying how much I regretted this decision, she told me "This is not my life, this will pass." I just need that to be my mantra for now.

Thank you! It was a long, rocky road. I started all my medications after they started the TPN in hospital, so I’m also back on the full dose for my bipolar medication. I feel worlds different than I did a month ago.

I have GERD so i went withvthe bypass and yesci was scared. But so far as of now my weight loss is 167lbs just went to the doctor last week . I weigh 190lbs. But over all the decision is your how you wamt 5o be healthy. Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am scheduled for March 13th and I am very nervous and still in shock. I saw my surgeon on Friday the 15th and was approved same day. Good luck to everyone!

You are too much. Girl, i needed that laugh....lol Sent from my LM-X210(G) using BariatricPal mobile app

You just gotta ride the wave now. Pre-op Mag Citrate liquid was my go-to. But post surg, even 1 or 2 oz goes through like Sherman through Georgia. So fast. So painful. Fetal position rocking and moaning terrible. Once it's in you, nothing is gonna stop it until you get all the crap out of you--literally. Sorry. Hope it eases quickly. Make sure to get your fluids in. Keep trying to take sips of water. Now the key is to keep everything open and not allow yourself to go 14 days. That's just wrong. At 3 days no BM, I'm formulating a plan for day 4. But my recipe so far is: 17g Miralax 3 Colace 11g whole psyllium dissolved in 2 glasses of iced tea 1/2c yogurt 1 GG brancrisp cracker with 1tbsp almond butter before bedtime lots of leafy greens and broccoli and cruciferous veg 100oz water DAILY. Every. Damn. Day. I'm finally having lovely fluffy movements every day that I follow those rules. It was Rosemary's Baby bad before that.

There is a difference between physically able and properly following post surgical guidelines. Not following post surgical guidelines can put you at risk for injury. If you are unsure if a food is safe regarding your surgeons guidelines you should call your team. If you are seeking permission from strangers online to eat outside dietary guidelines post op, you are an adult and it is unnecessary.

March 5th here! I’ve been dieting as well. I’m down 17 pounds since my first visit with the nutritionist in October.

Link to story So sad I know a lot of people here watch the show so I figured I'd share. I never realized till I watched the show how hard obesity hits the body, and that even something as simple as an infection or cold can kill you when you're severely overweight. Sean is the latest example of that. Let's use this as a reminder to be happy that we are working on our health, and that slipping is never worth it.
