I finally have gotten some relief from the reflux today, but for the last 3-4 days I feel like my food takes forever to digest. I go o dink 30-45 min after I eat and end up throwing up bc I'm too full. WTH?? I'm 3.5 weeks out.

Tomorrow I'm going to stick to mushies and see how it goes. I just ate a couple tablespoons of plain avocado with a dash of salt and it seems to be settling in nicely. Nice and soft and ripe. Man, it tasted good!

They had me start on Pepcid. Seems to have really helped. I just am frustrated with the need to puke at least once a day.

Yesterday was 3 weeks since my surgery and I had my first post op appt today. All went well. I'm down a total of 44 lbs, 26 since surgery. I expressed my concern over the major reflux issues I've been having the last week. I did not have reflux issues at all pre surgery, except when I was pregnant with my twins. He told methat when people have reflux pre sleeve, the sleeve only makes it worse, so he won't sleeve them, only bypass. He said I was the first patient he's had to complain of reflux post, that didn't have it pre. Weird. He prescribed Prevacid. Hopefully it works. I'm dyin ova hea!

Ask for zofran for the nausea. I'm surprised they haven't given it to you.

Don't get it! Everything tastes funny. I'm having issues with heartburn as well. I see the dr tomorrow for my first follow up. Today marks three weeks post.

When you shed weight, you shed insulation, therefore you are more sensitive to cooler temps. Just science, nothing to do with the removal of the stomach. I had issues with being superheated after my c section. Mostly hormonal and it subsides.

I'm really struggling this week to get calories in and with heartburn. I'm sooooooo tired! I'll be 3 weeks out tomorrow. I have my post op appt Tuesday. I've thrown up a couple times bc I've eaten too fast. That's definitely not fun.

I was a roller coaster the first few days after surgery. I would have intense hot flashes and then be cold. It evened out after a few days and now I'm 3 weeks out, 41 lbs down, and cold all the time! Lol!

They didn't give me heartburn meds. I've been taking Zantac 150 the last few days. I have my follow up on Tuesday.

I love It with canned pears

I told everybody. No problem. If they disagree with my decision, that's on them. If tey want to talk behind my back, so be it. Like I said, not my problem. I'll call it jealousy. :-)

I've Never had issues with heartburn. Today it has been constant. I took a Zantac. Is this normal. It'll be 2 weeks on Monday since surgery.

I dont have my follow up till the 17th, so if this keeps up I'll call and see if they can call something in bc all I have is Zantac pills.

I've been eating potato soup from panera, whizzed in the bullet, for a few days. Yum! I'm so tired of sweet. All the full liquids are so sweet. I craved saltiness and something with flavor. Was just the ticket!

Today I feel like nothing is going anywhere. I feel like its all just sitting like a rock in my stomach. I've had a container of yogurt and a half cup of soup today. Any ideas?

I have twins. When I was pregnant, I rectangle shaped area developed on my belly that was completely numb. About an 8by12 area. Dr said it was bc my belly had stretched so far the nerves stretched. After my c section, 3.5 years ago, I still have an area below my belly button that's numb bc they cut nerves during surgery. Completely normal, apparently.

My dr actually said to let it get flat and drink it. Only diet.

Blue Bell sugar free Bullets are my fave!

I'm 8 days out and I'm getting a lot more down as well. It's important to stay hydrated. Anything extra, you'll pee out!

I was sleeved on Monday, 6/25 and on clears till Friday, then to full liquids now. Since then, I've had a couple berry smoothies with added Protein Powder, yogurt, and Soup. I tell ya, that Bullet is freaking awesome for this. I've craved saltiness being that Jello and Popsicles are all sweet. I had hubby hit up panera for potato soup yesterday. I put the container in the bullet and it came out smooth as baby food and gosh did it taste good! I separated it into 3 1/2 cup servings. Ate one, and put the others in the fridge. Today we picked up some regular old cambells chicken and stars soup at hand containers. I heated one, turned out to be about a cup, put it in the bullet, and it was dinner. I guess my point is that its a great tool for this stage. Much better than the blender.

I'm giving myself heparin injections daily for ten days

I put potato soup from panera in the bullet yesterday. Was yummmmmy!

I had surgery Monday and started my period last night....a week and a half early!

I don't have a drain. Wonder why some do and some don't?
