Place a pillow against you stomach and hold it to splint the area to help with the pain. Just keep taking sips.

Buy single servings of Protein powders until you find ones that you like. Isopure I don't like. Intex and phormula I like. I also loved the bariatric pal strawberry short cake and I just got a orange cream from them. I have a vanilla one I like from costco too. I have about 8 different flavors so I don't get sick of one kind. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

I was 8 days without and had dumping syndrome from it. My surgeon told me to get some milk of magnesia and to get my bowels moving. You should call your surgeon and ask what they recommend. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

I had a huge improvement in my energy and ability to walk after a week. I was doing great then had a gallbladder attack and had that surgery 4 weeks after my gastric bypass surgery. I know am feeling great again. Been 4 weeks since second surgery and have been back to work 2 weeks now. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Get some Mylanta or maalox is what they told me today. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

You need to call your bariatric team and tell them you need more meds for gastric reflux. I know how you feel. It will get better and hopefully they will order you some carafate for the acid.

I was taking a stomach pill twice a day since my surgery Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks.. i have sooke to my surgeon he was ne to take the acid pills in the morning abd at night...hopefully this will help. How long dis it last for u? Sent from my SM-N900P using the BariatricPal App I used the carafate for about 21/2 weeks. I just had gallbladder removal 4 days ago and my reflux is back now pretty bad bit I was NPO for 4.5 days too Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Sounds like you have gastric reflux. This happened to me too. They added Carafe 30 mins before meals and at bedtime. You need to tell your surgeon or team about you symptoms. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

I was told just to make sure it says isolate Protein powder. I think the worst part of this whole process was the 2 week liquid diet before. Enjoy your last week eating and chewing real food. I had to chew gum because I missed it. You can drink your after surgery shakes on that liquid diet. I had to drink 5 carnation instant sugar free. Breakfast shakes. I liked the vanilla one better. But what saved me was the Bariatric Advantage strawberry shortcake protein powder. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Myself being a insulin dependant diabetic for 30 years now and also being an RN, I would not be doing these home remedies that you are talking about. You bariatric team will tell you what to do. You,very come this far, don't be messing up your body. The liquid diet before surgery makes lots of changes. I had RNY on 7/26/16. I had gallbladder removal on 9/1/16. I was in the hospital for 7 days with second surgery and NPO for 4.5 days and I was one sick gal. All of my labs were messed up. I even had to drink a phosphorus supplement.

I have several kinds of Protein powders. I found a vanilla one in a bag at costco. The strawberry shortcake is good online from Bariatric Advantage. If I were you I would order at least 3 different kinds. I have 5 but I don't get sick of one flavor then. Also reorder when you are about 3/4 gone. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

I would suggest spending the money on a personal trainer Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Abby that was very well written. You can't change the past and you can't fix stupid. For your peace of mind, block those negative people. There is a meme and I can't find it. But it said it's okay to remove the negative people from your life so that you can enjoy your happiness. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

I pureed eggs and they tasted awful pureed. I would wait until you can have soft foods. My nutritionist Said to try to add salsa for flavor. I pureed up two rotisserie chickens deboned and deskinned and that saved me. Got some low fat gravy and mashed potatoes. Pureed cottage cheese tastes like plain yogurt.

I was on pantprolozol twice a day and my surgeon put me on liquid carafe before meals and at bedtime. Solved the issue of gastric reflux. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Only 8 weeks out....you should probably still be on pureed to soft foods as tolerated. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

July 26 for me. Where in WI for you? I'm in Madison. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Talk with a counselor or schedule an appoint with your psychologist you had for your surgery. Does your work have an employee assistance program? Take one day at a time and if need be file for intermittent FMLA. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Go back to pureed foods. THEY TOLD me that you will eat pureed foods for at least 3 months. Call your surgeons office. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Can you switch jobs with someone? That seems like quite a bit after just one month. Your job should find out if you are released and how much you can lift. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Get a new doctor. But do go in to be seen for any skin problems.

Try Isopure or nectar for Protein. You may like them. Not all flavors are appealing though. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

They do make Vitamin Patches that absorb through the skin. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App

Talk to the surgeon before making a decision on what type of surgery. Gastric bypass takes the diabetes risk away but the sleeve does not. Money for transportation is the least of your worries but don't let that stop you. Your health is worth it. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App
