I've been eating low sugar fudgecicles.... they only have 2 grams of sugar... less than yogurt. ... they're helping my chocolate cravings

They still have sugar alcohol in them

To people that are down energy my nut said to start taking B-12. You can get it so that it dissolves under your tongue.... it seems to help

Well here it is... My very 1st blog ever! Over the last 10 months I have been obsessed with reading blogs and watching the YouTube videos of other's as they go through their gastric bypass journey's. I have been looking forward to the day when I could make my own video and have my own before and after photos. Finally the day is almost here for me! I am having a gastric bypass on June 5, 2013. I am both excited and scared. The surgery in itself is not what bothers me, I work in surgery and see wonderful outcomes every day... what I am afraid of most is my LOVE for chocolate. I have done very well on my 2 week pre op liquid diet, I have lost 17 lbs, and have been working very hard mentally to keep myself from having one last reese's peanut butter cup! It's funny all of this time I've been thinking I would be fine, because I'm not a BIG eater. What I am finding out though is that I am and have always been overweight because I'm a BAD eater. I had a chocolate addiction. All that I can do at this point is keep marching forward and hope that I am one of those that gets dumping syndrome!

At 2 weeks post op I started having horrible nausea. By week 3 I could barely keep water down. I was so worried that I was being a whiner that I waited until that 3rd week to call my doctor. It turned out I had stricture. Yesterday I had an EGD and got it stretched. I felt awesome last night. I had eggdrop soup with not even a bit of nausea. Today I woke up feeling good had about a 1/4 cup of soup and felt nauseated again. Also I'm getting nauseated by water again. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has anyone had a stricture come back quickly?

Having a deficit is dangerous

I was the same way.... but with no citracel

I have many friends that have had this and they say it can be rough for the first few months and then you will begin to enjoy things again. Things will get better guys.... we just have to go through this tough spot for a while

Well just got back home from my EGD. I did have a stricture they said it was so small they couldn't get the camera down. So fhey stretched it out, and I'm hoping this will be the only time. I woke up in more pain than I expected, but I think it was mostly on from the gas they use. Now I'm not experiencing near as much discomfort .... hoping no one else ends up with this problem

So just finished at the doctors office. I am 3 weeks post op and was doing fine until last Thursday when I started getting nauseated. I hadn't had a bowel movement in a while so I assumed it was from that and took a laxative. It didn't help at all and my nausea has progressed to where even the slightest sip of water makes me feel horribly sick. The Dr said the extreme nausea, vomiting, and constipation are all signs of a stricture. So looks like I get an EGD in the morning. Hoping they can just stretch it and be done.

I can't remeber last week but I'm 3 weeks today HW 270 SW 225 CW 205 GOAL 130

Good luck today guys.... you got this!

I have it too... guess gas sounds right but it sure is uncomfortable

Congratulations and good luck!

I'm at a loss of 38 with my preop weightloss.... preop i had lost 20 ... and we had surgery the same day so we're pretty close

Didn't you lose really fast in the beginning? I've had steady loss... so maybe your body is trying to hold on to something to make sure doesn't starve

I was getting that before I had foot surgery last week ... now jusy constant nausea

I actually took 2 biscodyl tablets.... they are tiny tablets that disolve easily.... I had no problem getting them down. .. I am not taking any other pilss but theses are tiny and potent

Has anyone else had extreme nausea? I am almost 3 weeks out and have been having nausea for about a week and zofran isn't helping.
