The nurse called me back this morning. I have to go in next Thursday and have a scope out down my throat. She said they may have to dilate the opening a bit. I should not be having reflux. :-(

@amylynns. Well now you have an answer & a way to resolve it. By the holiday you'll feel so much better!

I tried to get them to give me something for nausea and it was like pulling teeth. I still don't have anything, and I feel nauseous quite a bit. :(

Do you take any acid reducing meds? I take omeprizol and then when I was so nauseated they added prescription pepcid. It helped ALOT! I have gotten nauseated if I eat something too quickly.

I see your ticker. :-) It's keeping track of your BMI.

If you want to update it, go up to the top right hand side of the screen and click on where it says, "Hello Sherrib4health" and then it will say,"update clicker." Then you have to click through some screens to get to where you update it.

Hopefully that helps?

@@amylynns I had a problem the first 3 week I would spit up after every meal but fortunately that started to resolve.

Lol, men never seem to have issues! Yes, I take omeprazole once a day, but no pepcid yet. Maybe that would help. Even before surgery I got nauseous alot. My tummy could never really "handle" meds...a few weeks before surgery, I was taking Iron supplements because I am anemic. I was doing the Protein shakes and so that's all I had that morning. 10 min after my bf started driving, I threw up...I have to get the iv Iron now. In the hospital they had to give me tramadol for pain, hydros make me sick. I want more of the anti nausea Patches they put on me before lol. Idk....just blah lol. I just had a no sugar added Italian ice, mmmm it made me feel much better!

I had a 5 day stall and it was devastating but the scale is moving again but not as fast. I started eating and drinking a little more and that may have helped

So, those of you that are on or have already been on the puréed stage, do you have any yummy puréed suggestions? My nutritionist said everything has to be puréed except for 3 things. Scrambled eggs with a little low fat cheese, cottage cheese, and a little Peanut Butter on a spoon. I start this stage on Friday and I am so excited for some more variety! Did anyone use the pre-made baby food like Gerber?

grits were wonderful

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
