    Dehydration this helps me

    I have that as well plus other electrolyte products.
  2. Hello everyone, my name is Carolf5 and I am here to say that I have made the mistake that I originally said that I would not do. I originally had my Gastric Bypass surgery on 12/17/2012 and I lost 287 pounds-fast. The following year I was still losing and then the next year my face looked like a skeleton and I needed to add a bit to it. So, I was told to add some carbs back into diet-ended up being a big mistake. I ended up gaining a lot back to the carbs-mostly crackers. I tried to stop and found it too hard to do so so, now I am going to do the pouch reset and hope that helps me get rid of the carb problem. I will have to get rid of all carbs completely. Definitely no crackers. I should have already done this. My main problem is that I work the night shift at our busy hospital and so my eating schedule is all turned around. I work on our busy Cardiac floor where I do blood draws and EKGs along with patient care. big problem for a bit is that we have been overly understaffed and that has put a lot of stress on me. The biggest busy time is from 4am to 7am where I do the blood draws, EKGs, weights, vital signs and also people need to go to the bathroom, etc.. Big stress time. I am 69 years old and for me it has gotten to be a big bit. I am trying to make it through this year before I try to go down to 72 hours or to another floor-for my sanity and stress. So, today I am starting my pouch reset. Need to go to Walmart this morning for some jello and frozen popsicles. I have frozen dill pickle juice pops for any leg cramps-it works. Onward I go. I now currently weigh 200 pounds. My original weight before surgery was 308 pounds. I got down to 145 pounds and then gained.
