I Already Feel Weak....

My surgeon said that we can take extended release meds because we still have our pyloric valve - compared to gastric bypass patients who don't have this. I'm kind of surprised that you weren't given Prilosec right away after surgery. The first month after surgery, I took a Prilosec every 12 hours. Then it dropped to one a day.

@momto3girls... By any chance are you on a CPAP or bi-pap? Is it happening all day or only when you sleep?

No, no gallbladder left and I have a CPAP but haven't worn it in months. I never got along/played nicely with my CPAP so it has been a total waste of money. My stomach has calmed down tonight. I managed to get down an 8oz Protein Shake without too much difficulty. Took 2 Gummy vites which aren't as potent as the Celebrate chewables but better than nothing and then managed to get down a 2nd Calcium chewable as well. Also took my Iron and B12 early this morning. I will see how I feel in the morning. If the shakiness and heavy arms continue then I will be calling them. I did all of a sudden get super sleepy while working on an assignment for school so I am heading to bed with an Ativan on board as well. Hopefully that will help to calm me down a bit. And my nightly prayer will be said for "a better day tomorrow". Thanks for all the support.
