I'll know I have made it to Heaven. when there are No Cortisone Shots and No More Surgeries. And there I will have gotten rid of my 👣limp, pain and sorrowful 💦times.🌈😝

Please explain. What is happening?

Yes. You might be having GERD. But it may also be "normal" for you for this stage. You've just had surgery. And your tum is very sensitive. Sometimes at night our tummies get clocked (gooped) up with mucus from drainage during the night. And it get's "stuck". Many have food aversion or foamies till that mucus clears. My RD told me if that happens to drink cups of warm fluid until it clears out. Try some decaf herbal tea or even just warm water since coffee is still too acidic for you. And see if that helps. If it doesn't, then that's a surgeon's phone call. Many to this day only drink coffee with a protein shake in the mornings.

Not leaving the remnant stomach is an option (that is what is done when the surgery is for something like gastric cancer - you don't want it lying around in there, lol) but there are trade offs as usual. The main one that I can think of is that the stomach is no longer there producing acid to neutralize the bile being secreted just downstream of it, so there may be greater chances of bile reflux. AFAIK, there are ways to minimize that when the surgery is done, but these are things to discuss with the surgeon as to how best handle your individual problems. If I had revised my VSG ro an RNY a few years ago, that is how it would have been done - no remnant stomach.

I wonder why they don’t just get rid of that remnant. They throw away the rest of the stomach with vsg. Lol. Sounds funny throwing away stomachs. I’m hoping that the diet change and hopefully reduction in meds will rid me of gastritis for good!

A lot of people yearn for salty- and- or savory things. Like most things in life, you got to do what's good for you, we all got to make our own kind of 🎶 music!

Thanks! I fully expect it to take a year to get to my goal, slow and steady wins the race Congrats on your success, it is a huge inspiration!

Sorry to hear but what's going on? Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

1/4 cup is 2oz, and 1/2 cup is 4oz. By 3wks I could eat 3.5oz. Your 1.6lb gain could just be water weight. If you're gonna weigh yourself you should do it consistently at the same time and preferably in the morning after you've gotten up and emptied your bladder. Also, if you haven't pooped that will be a good lb or so added lol. I normally fluctuate 1-3lbs during the day. Depends on my water weight, food, bladder, and pooping! I wouldn't worry about your 1lb gain. Now if it was like 5lbs then I would be curious!
