Last night after supper I got this crazy pain starting just below where my ribs meet. It kept getting worse and it still hurts this morning albeit not as badly. Has anybody had this? It doesn't feel like the dumping I've experienced and it's lasting so long!!

Oh my gosh! That explains why my skin is so dry this year! I thought it was the winter and I'm living in a high rise now. It's driving me insane! -

I dilute all my juice with water. My nurse said g2 was a good option post op. Powerade also makes a zero calorie drink. It tastes normal to me and it's nice having something with flavor since just water makes me get the foamies.

Help! Kidney Stones And Can't Keep Anything Down
carms posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to the hospital 2 nights ago with kidney stones and since then I can't keep anything down. Thankfully I can drink (for the most part) but if I try to eat I end up vomiting. Any suggestions? I don't want to make my health worse but I can't be forcing myself to eat either. -
The good guys are out there! I've been seeing someone for about a month and just told him about the surgery. He didn't even bat an eye! His aunt had had it and he knows all about it.

I've just started dating as well. I tend to avoid food on the first few dates. But I always just say that I'm really watching what I eat and I really don't have a big appetite. If they aren't understanding then I doubt they would be supportive of your choice to have the surgery. I'm still nervous about when I have to tell a guy about the surgery though...

I just started taking an antacid prescription and haven't had the foamies for a couple days! So here's hoping it was an acids build up

I get that foamy puke every morning and right before going to bed. Doesn't last long but holy it's getting old!

Coffee is also slows down the weight loss process.

My boyfriend and I broke up a week after the surgery. Sure there was more to it, but I got the push to finally get out. New start to life!

It can also be a form of dumping

It will get better! I promise! Took a couple weeks to get completely comfortable sleeping on my side/stomach. -
