Here is another update..

I wasn't able to drink water for about 2 months for some odd reason... also Gatorade and all the other light drinks I turned to fruit which is probably not a good idea but I just needed hydration watermelon is like 90% water... also any liquid u can tolerate as long as it's not a lot of sugar or cafiene... u can dialute low calorie or low sugar drinks with water to make it even less

I'm soon to be 4 Months post op... a friend of mine had been asking me to come to her pole dancing class... I told her I don't feel comfortable until I am at least under 200lbs she told me we are about the same weight so I went and I loved it.. my body aches but that's what I need and it's fun and sexy.... yea... I started at 299 day of surgery Dec 28this weighed 276 today 4/21 I weighed 212 yay me...

My potassium was low too... get a prescription for your dt

Yes I do feel great... It has been a tough journey and I was sick for a while I wasnt eating. but now I eat fine... a week ago I saw myself in the mirror and saw a fat girl... I was depressed thought I was gaining but I havent been on a scale since mid february weighed 242. I finally realize that even tho I only lost yen pounds since then it is still progress... Goal is 160... Hope to be under 200 by july ... Good luck to u all and best of luck...

Please give me ideas on food.. Maybe recipies.. Im putting together my grocery list

Im 2 months out. Do I still need to wait an hour between pills?

Im 2 months post op is this ok?

I cant hold ice tea... For the past few days I have turned to snapple and now juicy juice... Too much sugar and gives me a belly ache but I have been dying a thirst

Man im running out of options on drinking... I cant tolerate anything thats good for me.. Ill be dehydrated soon... Things that I could tolerate I no longer can.. Im so thirsty

I cant drink Water or gatorade.. Hot tea is ok but the artificial sugar I cant tolerate I have been adding a little motts for tots apple juice to my water but im starting to not be able to tolerate that either.. Cant drink crystal light bc acid reflux.. Someone please advise me on something to drink.

I just had my follow appointment almost 2 months out. I told my surgeon I have been throwing up yellow stuff. He responds its bile. As if its normal, I just feel like talking to him is a waste of my time. Ive grown tired of turning to him for anything

My surgeon did endoscope and leak test thats it. I dont have a car or support and since out of work over a month no money... I want to go to a better hospital but its kinda impossible. Hopefuly the mri will show something. I even had to drop my classes this semester. Things are a mess and my mom is even crayz my family thinks its in my head

Anyone else experience this? Is this serious?

No..

I truely hate my surgeon

I saw my primary care dr right before I started throwing up bile.. She sent me for sputem culture blood work and catscan. But her first response was "why are u seeing me.. You are his problem" but she dicided to help me out. catscan shows cyst on my liver and ill be getting an mri soon. And she perscribed potassium. Bc my potassium is low

Thanks this has been going on for over 2 weeks. u can imagin how I have felt. I was admitted to hospital for 3 days all my surgeon did was check for leaks and let me go. Its been very hard to live my life with no energy and not being able to do anything with a barf bag in my hand... he had me on different laxitives naseaue meds supposotories... Every day I call him he tells me to go buy somethin different. The last time we talked hesaid get mucinex. I didnt get it. Its too expensive to buy based off his guess just to get me off the phone

My dr. is absolutely n help he has put me on numerous meds without fully listening and hearing detail of my problem. He finally told me to see my primary dr. she is awsome and I have so much faith that she will fix me.

Does not eating make reflux worse ? I dont eat much anymore. Im 5 weeks out have been haveing hard time with acid and dry heaves so I have started eating less and less. I try to drink. But everything has acid. EVERYTHING.. i instantly throw up Water, ice, pedialite and gatorade. I eat a cracker or a very little bit of Cereal. Thats it..

When I first experienced acid reflux a few weeks ago it felt like hunger but once I took medicine wooh it felt like acid reflux for sure it sucks.. And the worse part about it is not knowing that just about everything has acid in the ingredients. Drives me nuts.. Wish I could help. I struggle with reflux too.

Also havent been able to wear a dress without getting terrible rug burn between thighs..... Killer

Im 23 and never Walked the beach or boardwalk with a bathing suit on Done cowgirl position for more than 1 minute. had sex with a man who actually cared about me Been able to shave my kitty with out getting frustrated
