I'm going to my surgeon tomorrow at 3:00. The pain is still there and radiating. If I didn't know better, I would think I had appendicitis... It's just not possible... Louisville, KY ~ RNY June 24, 2013 ~ Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

Thanks for the feedback! You're gonna laugh, but I took some Mylanta Gas after supper and have felt TONS better!!! And I've read about the dreaded 3 week stall, so I feel much better about the situation. I'm still going to try to get into my doc this week rather than next. Also, the location of the pain wold be around my ovaries, but the pain is not cramp-like. Doesn't feel like a woman issue. And I'm on YAZ so I rarely have periods. I have three more pink pills before I start my white pills this month. So we will see if I'm better tomorrow! Louisville, KY ~ RNY June 24, 2013 ~ Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I have trouble with pills, too. They go down but I get nauseous almost every time, and I can't crush mine.

I'm four weeks out on Monday. This week, my lower belly has been acting up. Sometimes it just feels sore, and sometimes I have sharp pains. My bladder is hurting as well - I'm on antibiotics for a UTI but they haven't kicked it yet. I'm probably just being paranoid, but I only lost 0.8 this week. 30.4 total. Total loss is great I know, but why the stall? Anyone else have lower pains? It's NOT when I eat. food goes down fine and I go to the bathroom everyday. Sometimes Twice a day bit the amt is small sometimes (TMI). I'm hoping its just gas and surgery pains, but I'm a little worried because I'm almost a month out. Shouldn't all that be gone by now? I'm just anxious due to the stall on week 3, and I was in the hospital 6 days due to infected hematomas. I've had the worst luck and am just afraid I have a crazy blockage or something. Someone talk me off the ledge or send me to the ER.

I'm 4 weeks out on Monday, and ice Water makes me sooooooo nauseous. Louisville, KY ~ RNY June 24, 2013 ~ Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I'm sorry a bunch of us are struggling a bit but its good to know I'm not alone! I've been on heavy staph antibiotics since I left the hospital, and they have made it next to impossible to drink without getting nauseous. Food went down fine - water was killing me. To make a long story short, my endocrinologist couldn't even get blood because I was so dehydrated, so I went to my urgent care to get fluids and nausea medicine. I've been sooooo much better! So don't hesitate to ask for fluids if you are having trouble getting them in! Surgery Date - 6/24 Down about 30 lbs

I'm three weeks out tomorrow. food goes down great - no trouble at all except one time when I ate Pop chips like an idiot. Won't be doing that ever again. I'm on regular food. My issue is liquids. I drank tons of Water and Protein shakes and Crystal Light before surgery, and now the only liquid that goes down without nausea is tea. I'm really disappointed that the shakes are making me nauseous. I also struggle when I take my meds. Anyone else having issues with liquids and not food?

Mine was worse before surgery, but I still have the Big D. I'm three weeks post-op and on very strong antibiotics that are probably causing it. Louisville, KY ~ RNY June 2013 ~ Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I think it's different for everyone. I'm fairly certain I had a case of it today - sweating, major pressure/fullness in the chest, heart racing, and nausea for me. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought I was having a heart attack. And my stomach is STILL growling - I can hear it and feel it.

I had it for the first time today, and I'm guessing it was mild, but it was off Pop Chips!!! I mean seriously! They have NOTHING in them but my mother said I was eating them too quickly. And too many. I guess I just lost it! My chest felt like it would explode, very rapid heart rate, and nausea. I survived without puking, but even after a nap potato Soup made me nauseated and made my heart race! My stomach sounds and feels like a thunder storm right now. All for stupid Pop chips...never again. Boy, do we learn. Louisville, KY ~ RNY June 2013 ~ Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

Lisa - We sound a lot alike. I did fine week 2, but week three has been rough. I have infected hematomas that are still healing, so I'm on a ton of antibiotics that are not helping things. The only liquid that doesn't make me nauseous is tea. Forget the Protein shakes! I loved them pre-op and now I can barely drink half of one a day. I'm on the toilet at least twice a day. I'm on regular foods now, and solid food goes down better than anything, but I'm still not getting all my protein or liquids in. I made an appointment with my nutritionist, and she said not to worry that stuff like this happens often. Here's to a better Week 4! Louisville, KY ~ RNY June 2013 ~ Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I will donate my boob fat to anyone who wants it! You probably don't because it is very, very dense. I'm a 42DDD. I'm definitely having a reduction if they don't shrink - I'm almost 3 weeks post-op so they haven't yet of course. They never have when I've lost weight in the past. Every time I go to any doc I'm like, "Oooooohhhh my poor back! It must be my dense breast tissue!" Louisville, KY ~ RNY June 2013 ~ Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I'm pouting. Made some bad choices today and had a mini-episode of dumping for the first time. So I had potato soup for dinner, and it also made me nauseous and made my heart race. I'm better now, but boy do you learn quickly. Back to Popsicles for me... Louisville, KY ~ RNY June 2013 ~ Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk
