Had Bypass a month ago just looking for some accountability partners.

Does anyone else wake up at night or in the mornings with extremely dry mouth? Mine is terrible and so of course I want to drink a lot of Water and then I cause my stomach to hurt. This only started since I had surgery.

I have been nauseous as well and haven't been able to eat. My heart rate has been up as well! I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor now!

I called my doctor Thursday and they seem to think I am dehydrated, they told me to increase my water intake but it's so hard and so I honestly don't know what to do. 64oz is 4 of my water bottles and I have only been getting in 2 or 3 bottles a day.

Yeah I wish I could have lettuce it would make life a lot easier! I do my protein shake in the morning and then I have to make myself eat the rest of the day...

Awesome I'll have to go get some! I probably wouldn't like the dill or Thai either lol... I made some chicken salad the other day it was pretty good. Just hard eating it without crackers lol. I feel like I eat the same stuff over and over and I get tired of it.

I haven't tried those. I will have to get me some because I'm getting tired of my tuna with mustard lol

Thank you guys for sharing! It's terrible and I keep water at my bedside for when I wake up. Like you guys said it's like my mouth stays open all night!

You look amazing!! Congratulations!!

I totally understand what you mean!! Food was my drug for so long it's very hard for me bc I went through so much depression and stress that I turned to food so that's always been my go to so now trying to end that addition is only through help of God. I have tried salmon twice and it didn't work at all. Sometimes if something has a lot of seasoning on it I can't eat it. Chicken hasn't really bothered me as long as it's not dry. But I almost have to eat it shredded like and yes it takes me forever to eat! And that's been really hard for me bc I'm use to hurrying and eating and taking big bites and big drinks of drink so it's definitely hard learning to eat again. I have tried too many veggies yet. I have been eating eggs and tuna and chicken and I love the grilled fish from Caption ds knock on wood every time I have went it hasn't been dry and it's so easy to eat. I found Pinterest to be the best at finding recipes that are good for us. Some are still kinda crazy and they say they are for us and you read the ingredients and you are like no way that's healthy lol but they are some really good healthy ones on there. I fixed cauliflower crust grilled chicken pizza last night it was actually pretty good. I got this amazing sauce from sams yesterday that has nothing in it and it's so good I'll have to get you the name of it! I'm so glad you replied to my post it really helps having someone else to talk to that's going through the same!

It's very hard and I'm only a month out. Are you taking your vitamins everyday? I take all my vitamins and I take 10,000mgs of biotin a day praying my hair doesn't fall out so bad. I have been going to the gym everyday. I have been doing my 30'mins, did 45 mins last night and I think I may have over done it. But it felt great at first lol. I'm praying I can lose another 25 lbs before I go back to Dr Ross. There is this amazing app you may already know about it but it reminds me everyday about my vitamins and tracks my protein in take it's really good and helps keep me on track! I really didn't lose anything before surgery but my sw was 286.6 and now I'm 261. It's really hard and even harder when you have a family to feed as well, but I'm learning and just taking it one day at a time and trying to turn the time I use to spend eating doing my Bible Study. I know i wouldn't of been able to do without surgery. I had tried everything and I would lose some but then I would gain it all back, so I Thank God I was able to have surgery and I'm just trying to make the best of my "tool"

Dr Ross did mine. When did you have surgery and how is it going??

Down**

I'm in Spartanburg. My sister and I were just done there last weekend!

I had surgery January 23rd, went to the doctor yesterday and I have lost 25lbs since surgery! I couldn't believe it. I am over excited and very happy with my decision so far!

Thank you and you too!!
