Hi all sorry I haven't been on in a while. I have been incredibly sick and nauseated for over a week and have been not able to get any real nutrition in me. I've been sleeping alot and the Dr's were worried about my health. I started on new constant anti nausea pills for this and I'm starting to do better than I was. I see that everyone has been having problems. I'm sorry that it's been a hard road for us all. I've been through the ringer of emotions this week and am just so tired of feeling like this. I hope things will get better soon cause I'm feeling like I made a huge mistake having the surgery. I know lots of people who have said this so I'm hoping that I get over it but right now I'm just feeling bad.

It sucks. I'm so sick of it. I'm wondering if it is the protein. I haven't had a problem with the acid reflux at all, luckily. I am wondering if it's my pills not getting into my stomach before I lay down to sleep or if they are coming back up because I'm not giving them enough time to fully break down in my new stomach. I'll have ask the doctor on Thursday when I go in for my first follow up and diet training. Can't wait tell then, I get to move up to soft foods. So excited.

Yes Casper, I am. My Dr prescribed me one to take every night. Maybe I need a stronger one? Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Ok so just a quick question today. I wake up every morning with the worst taste in my mouth and horrible breath. Does any one else have this problem? It's just awful. I can brush my teeth a billion times and this still happens. What do you do? It's so gross.

Just a quick check in this evening on me. I'm so much better than I was a few days ago. My cyst is still bothering me but the drugs help. Having pcos sucks. Lol I stepped on the scale today and am officially down 22 lbs from where I started this whole journey. So exciting. I don't really see much of a change in the mirror but my face might be a bit smaller and I know my stomach looks less bloated than it has in a long time. I know I'm not supposed to look at the scale tell I go see the Dr again but damn if I can go a day without looking. I feel so defeated when it doesn't go down. It's so hard not to feel like a failure when everything is ridding on this. Oh well. TV is driving me nuts. One more commercial about food and I might cry. I never noticed how many food commercials there really are. I'd love to hear from everyone about their days!

I'm so sorry Mzfreda. The doctors told us that we could start absorbing things differently. I know that I am. My all day pills seem to only last about half a day and others make me sick so I know its just an absorption problem. You will be out in no time and they will hopefully have your meds figured out in a day or so. It's a good thing, shows you that it's working. Walk alot in the hospital, even if its with a walker. Gets your heart pumpin and your body back on track. Hope you're home soon.

Jenn have you tried watering down everything tell it is very runny? I do great having everything really thin. I had cheese yesterday that I mushed up tell it was nothing. (Tiny baby bell cheese)

Jenn I've decided that when it rains it pours on me. But I'm back to my old self just a little soar. I was worried about your protein intake this whole time and was wondering what you should do. I hope you don't lose your hair.

Good to have you Mzfreda! I'm glade your doing well and totally get you on being sick of the liquid faze. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

So yesterday was a very bad day. Almost 90 % of the day was spent in the ER. I was feeling fine most of the day and after going to the bathroom I was in the most intense pain ever. I had to have the paramedics come get me and take me to the er because I couldn't walk down the stairs in my house. Hours at the ER later worrying that I had popped a stitch and I find out I have a huge cyst on my left ovary and a large kidney stone in my right kidney. Thank god I didn't do damage to my bypass but man do I feel like crap.

Jenn I can't believe you have been on clears this whole time. I'm going crazy on clears and Protein. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

What are nudge foods Casper?

Thank goodness for you guys. I was feeling like there was something wrong. I didn't want to go to the Dr and look like I was dumb.

So anyone having bathroom problems sense surgery. I seem to only be having diarrhea and in very small amounts. I pee all the time. I know there isn't really anything in there to make a bm but I hate the diarrhea and I'm always afraid I'll be sick if I fart. This sucks.

Just read your posts. My doctor wants us to have protein shakes 4 times a day and the rest water or protein water. I'm doing OK with all the water but the shakes are hard. This we do for two weeks then we go in for a checkup and get to move into the soft food phase. We will get a class with the nutritionist on Oct 1.

Well its been a ruff couple of days. I've had highs and low lows, but I'm doing ok right now. The pain is alot better today I just feel really weak which I haven't felt like this tell now. I'm a little worried I'm not getting enough nutrients in. I just keep reminding myself that this will be a distant memory in a few weeks and a couple of months I won't even think about at all.

I should be going home today. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Oh Jenn that sounds awful. I hope you heal fast and don't get sick again. Today is the beginning of day 4 at the hospital but I'm doing great. Pain is under control. The leak was nothing and I'm finally going to get to do something more than water. Who knew you could get so excited about protein shakes.

So day 2 in the hospital. They found a tiny leak and now no food again today. Pain is hard to manage I'm either in pain or to tired to keep my eyes open. I'm hoping the leak isn't a problem at all and I'll be alright in a few days. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Well today's the big day. Getting up and heading to the hospital. Really scared but hopefully everything will go great and I'll be home in no time.

I could just cry it is so bad. I wouldn't wish this on my x husband. Lol Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Way to go Jenn! You just gave me hope. The magnesium citrate is killing me. I can't be more than a minute from the bathroom. Uggg Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Good luck! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Don't get the band. They have a 60% fail rate. I had one for ten year lost on 30 pounds and spent all ten years throwing up every day. I did damage to my teeth and my esophagus.

It's going to be great. You'll have no problems. You'll be sore and tired but you will have all that weight loss to look forward to. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
