Awesome! Congratulations! You look very happy [emoji7]

Thank you ReneK...I like both of those...will have to see if they like me [emoji106]

Inner Surfer Girl...Yes I can have oatmeal....that's a great idea with the PB2! Thank you [emoji3]

Kristenle....thanks for the advice....I'm not having much trouble with protein but I'm getting it by drinking protein shakes ...I want to be able to reach my protein goal without relying on the shakes eventually [emoji2]. My nutritionist had told me she doesn't want my body to get use to living on such few calories..She wants me to work my way up to 1000-1200 calories a day eventually [emoji106]

I'm 10 weeks post gastric bypass and I have been struggling since April 6th when I suffered a week of horrible diarrhea and cramping and my pouch felt like it was on fire. My PA started me on Sucralfate and Reglan and everything started to improve almost immediately. I have been having ugly side effects from the Reglan, so today I decided not to take it to see if that's what's causing sleepiness, fidgety and depression. The verdict is YES, but at a price, my pouch feels aweful tonight [emoji53]. In addition to these issues I'm having a hard time reaching my calorie and protein goal because I just can't eat the amount I should be eating at this point. I'm feeling so defeated [emoji26] Thanks for listening. I'm not sure what to do next, my next Dr appointment is May 18th at which point I'll be 3 months post op. I have lost 40 lbs since surgery but I can't even enjoy it right now. Sorry for having a whoa is me moment but sometimes it just helps to talk to someone that can relate .

Sorry you are in pain! It does get better and welcome to the losers bench! Take care of yourself and rest up [emoji3][emoji106]

Thank you Renkoss....it helps just to talk it out sometimes too! [emoji3][emoji106]

Dr took me off the Reglan and my pouch is starting to calm down....I'm feeling much better physically and emotionally the past few days [emoji2]

If WLS is such a horrible thing...why would insurance companies cover it?? Just saying..[emoji12]

I guess men project their emotions differently [emoji2]

I wore the same outfit coming and going, Chapstick, biotene mouth spray, toothbrush and paste , deodorant and clean underwear. I never touched my phone or IPad ...I could have cared less! The best thing I had was my husband [emoji7]

Suzannie19 .....what medication do they have you on

Cari, yes I'm taking omeprazole once a day...also taking Sucralfate and Maalox when needed. Thanks for asking. Sometimes it's just nice to talk about it rather then hold everything inside! [emoji4]

I'm wondering if I have an ulcer too....I had a week of horrible cramps and diarrhea a few weeks ago followed by a burning pouch. My dr put me on Sucralfate and Reglan and I felt better up until the past 3-4 days. I've been having bad gas followed by diarrhea which comes on in the evenings and my pouch doesn't feel right...almost like heartburn. I hope they fix us up!! Btw..I'm 10 weeks post op

I'm 10 weeks post op and still have moments of regret, especially lately....I've been struggling with what feels like acid reflux and extreme gas followed by bouts of diarrhea for the past 3-4 days...I feel good most of the day but then come evening and night it flares up [emoji20]. If I'm still this way come Monday I'm going to see my Dr again. We need to figure this out! I have bouts of depression too which I never had before surgery. Sorry I'm not much help!

I agree...I do not like the Reglan at all!! I wonder if there is an alternative without the nasty side effects?

I'm taking Prilosec too. I have been taking a probiotic for a couple weeks now. Something is irritating my pouch, I need to find out what. Now that I think about it, it could be my chewable vitamin. I wasn't taking it when I first started this medication and was feeling better. I've been taking it again for about a week or so and now I'm starting to have problems again....hmmmm

Thanks for your replies...I will contact them tomorrow. [emoji3]

Good luck!! I was shocked at how calm I was the day of surgery....I was so ready for it!

Congrats on losing 140lbs!! I cannot give any advice as I'm only 2 months out [emoji3]

I have wide feet ....has anyone dropped shoe sizes after surgery?

I'm hoping it's just a virus or something Rebecca...it just sucks! [emoji12]

I'm 7 weeks post op and last night I started having horrible cramping and diarrhea. It's almost 24 hours later and it's still there. I'm not sure what's going on...it didn't start until like 5 hours after I ate yesterday and now within an hour after eating I'm running to the bathroom ...I'm miserable!! Do you think this is dumping or a bug of some kind? I'll be calling my Dr in the morning if I still feel this way.

I saw my Dr yesterday....she put me back on liquids for the weekend and if not better by Monday she may do a scope to see if I have an ulcer or blockage...I'm having a rough time staying hydrated since this all started...this is the 4th day of misery [emoji26] The worst part is the severe cramping ...thank you for asking

Congratulations!! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]
