I felt just like u. I didn't get satisfaction until I got on real chewable food. Just b patient :-)

Jerz u r too funny. I think it ends up coming out as orange ass Water too! Baby wipes people! And wipe very softly. Even try Vaseline or buttpaste or desitin. I had diarrhea for two straight weeks and wish I would have done these things before I got terrible hemorrhoids. Which are now gone. I got the lemon lime. Got it cold and mix half with sprite and half w ginger ale. It was the only way I could get it down.

O and I got in 100grams of protein yesterday!!!!! Can u believe that. I was stoked.

Taco meat. Like he best stuff ever. First time after surgery. Can't eat beans anymore tho. They make me dump and cause terrible gas :-(

Girl u will b fine! Ur doing great. All this diet stuff before really prepares u for after, I promise! And I promise it will pay off uve already done amazing!!! Look at how far uve come. My life is actually a lot like urs. Different med issues but all in the same. I also ended up in divorce but no big deal there. I actually had shrimp last week. 3 weeks after surgery, and it wasn't all that great It will b here before u know it and u will b so happy u stuck w it!

Thanks for the advice on throwing up. It was just so scary bc I kept having spasms in my tummy and esophagus. They were very painful. I just had to wait it out. It took about 1.5 hours to go away.

Sne: it's gonna just depend on u. My gag reflux before was terrible and now it's just a bit better. But.... I threw up yesterday for the first time after RNY and it was god awful. So if it makes me gag I'm not gonna do it. Wait until like 4 hrs after u eat so there no chance it could bring vomit up. Bc once u start those muscles it's hard to stop. So empty tummy and go slow. U never know, ur gag reflex could become super sensitive or disappear!

Yes, I know what ur talking Bout. But I'm only 4 weeks out. I actually had this w my band. Have they done a test to c if u have a stricture or if ur new tummy has adhesions or has attached itself to something? Bc this is what was happening to me w the band and it had attached itself to my liver. I'm just so sorry ur still dealing w it. I've suffered from panic attacks before and I can c how the two would b related.

Maybe other things are bothering her. Do u guys have kids? Does she work full time? Maybe she's just exhausted. I know that I need foreplay. So don't just go up to her and hump her, lol. Start by sitting and just hanging out with her and work ur way up to it.

I can't add u. Says it can't find ya. Add me nairali

Reflux, cough, choking, aspirating were gone IMMediately! It was great, so don't worry about that. Try the pillows with a travel pillow around ur neck. Eventually u will fall asleep and it truly helps. U will b so happy when u get that band out. Mine was the worst 2 weeks before surgery. Just look at it this way... Going on the liquid diet will just prepare u for after surgery. Get ur favorite soups and purée them. Thinner mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes. Try to stay away from too much sugar. Protein shakes and yogurt go down easy to w the band.

I was gonna say sounds like spasms!! Those ate the worst. I'm so sry u r going thru that. U just can't get comfortable. Have u talked to docs about it? Maybe a muscle relaxer could help. If I drink too hot or cold I get them awful. Or if I do too much activity, cause I'm only 4 weeks out. Let me know how it goes for you.

Awesome! I'm 5'6" too. Hope I look like u soon! Thanks for posting and great job. What is ur goal weight? Where do u want to b vs where ur doc wants u to b? My doc wants me to b around 170?! Which I think is too much. I want to b like 148.

When I had my gallbladder taken out it took me forever to get my diarrhea under control. Maybe a few years. It's been 15 years and I stil can't eat certain foods, so start taking note of what makes u sickest and stay away from it. I've had RNY 4 weeks ago and I'm still having diarrhea. Your body needs to get used to things, be nice to it and talk to ur doc about it. I can't send u money, but what size do u wear? I may have some u can have! Ali On mfp as nairali, feel free to add me

ADVICE PLEASE! I vomited for the first time an hour ago and still having spasms and heaving after an hour. Someone please tell me this is going to stop!!! It was totally my fault. I waited to long to eat. Got 2 oz grilled chicken and finished in less than 5 mins. It had no chance of staying down. This is awful!!! It's hard to break those bad habits.

Is it rough getting the stricture taken care of? Is it painful?

Pep, U look amazing. Do u ever feel like u could gain the weight back? Or feel like if u weren't exercising us gain it back? Or have u gained any back?

Cat, How tall are u? I hope to look that good in the 190's!! U go girl

U guys look awesome! Great job. Any great tips?!

I keep trying to tell myself... When was the last time u lost that amount in that amount of time???
