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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
