Rny patients....& Taste change
PhantumBelly replied to KatyC2922's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Well I was eating crap before that contributed to my obesity disease so it’s probably good that I can’t eat those now. I discovered a lot of new food so I’m going to say it’s probably a blessing for us but just doesn’t seem like it when you are in the moment having a food funeral. Now I like habernero and jalepeno and flavorful crunchy fresh things lol -
Possible stricture and the dressed foamies
PhantumBelly replied to Swinny's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hey girl I would roll things back to liquid. Go pick up a fairlife milk fat free it has your protein and your fluid ounce in it and is very light this might hold down the fort til the dr gets in there -
Nausea and fatigue after eating
PhantumBelly replied to fourmonthspreop's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
If it’s just nausea and some chest comfort that’s when I eliminate the food and if it’s food intolerance it goes away -
Nausea and fatigue after eating
PhantumBelly replied to fourmonthspreop's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi again. There is nausea sweating and tiredness for me with the hypoglycemia. The nausea is for me from a food intolerance. Try eliminating that food for awhile and see if it goes away -
I use better than bullion chicken and put black pepper in it

Vasovagal Syncope ( Fainting ) episode
PhantumBelly replied to catfish87's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Could really be a number of things for many of you here. I use an at home monitor and I was having low blood pressure 88/58 etc. .. For those who speculate orthostatic hypertension diagnosis can be confirmed with the tilt table test mentioned by a poster in this thread it could also be,for those with bypass, reactive hypoglycemia (occurs like 3 hours after eating something substantionally Carby) which u could use a cheap glucometer or borrow a friends during an episode to test if your blood sugar is low. For those who want a diagnosis after having low blood sugar it can be confirmed with lab test gtt (glucose tolerance test) extended 4 hours -
This sh*t aged me ten years but that’s why people go on to plastics next probably. So there’s always that for you to read about :)

Nausea and fatigue after eating
PhantumBelly replied to fourmonthspreop's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi I enjoy your food pics in the other thread. I am glad you are approaching your doc about this. I will say sometimes pouch decides it doesn’t like a food all the sudden even if I’ve had it before then I just ban that food for awhile and try to reintroduce it later. I do recommend you to have a glucometer just the cheap one. I am one of the lucky ones who has non diabetic reactive hypoglycemia as a result of the rny. I would not have known if I didn’t check the sugar in a “nap desiring” state after consuming a little higher carb than my norm -
Eating carbs (pasta, rice, or bread )

Can you ever drink soda again after surgery
PhantumBelly replied to Happy Stylist's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don’t because I read it can stretch your pouch out. I’m not risking it. To each their own lol -
Did your comorbidities go away after surgery?
PhantumBelly replied to ClareLynn's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I’m down over 160 lb for context and I definitely have a personal opinion about this as some of my conditions did not resolve. I have found that doctors and data can correlate conditions with being fat but being fat isn’t always the cause of conditions like migraines which can be hormonal as an example, and sleep apnea which can be caused by bad genetic jaws and teeth that fall back needing braces /jaw surgery instead of having fatty throat flab. The data doesn’t distinguish this so neither do the doctors who use it to inform themselves when discussing with patients. Being fat youre statistically more likely to die sooner fact. But the surgery may not cure all your conditions because some of them may have other causes like genetic bone structure or hormones out of whack etc that weren’t fixed. 93 lb is a lot and don’t let your brain play tricks on you to discourage you from hitting the finish line. Check to see what resolves when at goal, and focus on other wins like how many sizes you are probably down - being able to move around easier- etc Pouch pals -

PhantumBelly replied to fourmonthspreop's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi let your team know but I want to suggest trying your water at different temps. It’s a simple thing but might help!
