Start using miralax and dulcolax. Use gas x for the gassy and bloating and try to walk walk walk it helps push that stuff out.

I just do 2 Flintstones complete daily this is what my surgeon recommended. I get a monthly B12 shot and I don't start calcium until my next appointment in February.

I haven't gotten that far out yet. They usually wont do skin removal until your like 18 months post op. And insurance won't cover it unless your doctor has documentation of rashes and sores etc.

I buy the low-fat saltines I usually eat one serving which is 5 crackers has 2 grams if protein and 50 calories

I had the Adkins chicken broccoli Alfredo. 26 grams of protein and it was delicious!!! I have a breakfast sausage one to try tomorrow. I'm just going to have to fill my freezer with them

Well I ended up calling the surgeon today as the pain is a little worst today eating and drinking. I have had 2 strictures in the past 2 months at least this is exactly how I felt when the surgeons did the EGD's and said I had a stricture. So he called me back and it was like he didn't believe me and made me feel like I don't know what I am talking about. He said it isn't a stricture because I am not vomiting well I didn't vomit the last two times either. Its just pain when I eat or drink like 10 seconds after swollowing and burping with reflux just like before. Now I don't know what to do because I just lost all faith and trust that I wont be believed. This has always been an issue with me because I will always wait till I just can't handle it anymore to go to the doctors or call or go to hospitals thinking its all in my head and so now I am so upset

I wonder if this is what my pain is that my stomach is finally healed and the nerve endings are working now.

The ones I have has 6-8 carbs in them

I am hanging in there able to eat and drink some today. The pain is still there but was worst this morning and yesterday. Just waiting till bed time to take a pain pill. I will talk to him Tuesday about it as maybe something was stuck or just irritated and inflamed my pouch.

Rny is suppose to but a lot of it is in our heads and how we are conditioned. We smell food we get hungry we look at food we get hungry we talk about food we are hungry

I had a Atkins frozen dinner yesterday it was really good 26 grams of protein and calories was 330 but its a meal. Was the beef with broccoli. The chicken Alfredo is good also it is broccoli and chicken in sauce

Your sugar may have been low. With our surgery we have to be prepared just like a diaper bag is for a baby when we go out. Bring a snack and a bottle of Water in our purses

They actually gave me decaf coffee in hospital after surgery

Very safe to do

I use miralax 2-3 times a week and ducolax 2-3 times a week. I learned the hard way 3 times they are a must for me!!

The reason is the 400-600 calories your body is in starvation mode. At your stage you need to be getting at least 800 calories a day and also make sure you don't skip any meals and are drinking 64 ounces a day.

Both

You wont feel that feeling for a few weeks till the nerve endings heal

My signal is burping or a hiccup

Use papaya enzymes if you have them. Hold your arms above your head like stretching see if it helps

The pain I am having is constant now were the past few days it was just when I was eating and drinking. I know its not hunger pains as I am eating as much as I can tolerate. Wednesday they did a CT scan and showed I didn't have any blockages or twisting as I am able to pass gas and go potty. But because I am not throwing up or running a fever its like they think I can wait

Or maybe to get the big bucks they just called it a stricture and said they did a dilatation and they were being dishonest with me

Well I can go but they will just call him to refer to. He said we will see what's going on Tuesday when I go up there. But its like what happens if it gets worst? I mean I have never did the "cry wolf" thing every time I have went they have found something wrong! So I am not sure why he doesn't believe me now! Maybe he is just fed up because like clockwork every 3 weeks something has happened to me

Chili's has awesome new fish options on their menu. I had some last week. It was talapia with mango and advocado sauce and steamed broccoli and of course their loaded mashed potatoes that I could only get a small taste I was so full. But that's also when my stricture was starting

Isopure has a horrible taste in my opinion you can buy it at GNC
