Soooo how do I even start off. I’m 7 months post Gastric Bypass and loving the results so far. I was having a bit of a problem (and in retrospect that was just me not knowing when to stop) with my food getting stuck in my throat literally only 3 bites in. I was well past 5 months going into my 6th and was thinking I should be able to eat a normal post-op meal!

I am doctor google, if you guys didn’t know, and found this awesome post from some guy who was going though the same thing and he suggest Super Papaya Enzyme Plus! I was like yes! I found the miracle.

So this chewable mint (tastes really good AND you can chew it?! too good to be true) helps break down Protein and helps with absorption.

I tried this puppy and it’s really easy to get addicted. I would chew 2-3 after every meal so that I wouldn’t get that choked up feeling (again it was just me eating WAY too fast AND not chewing enough).

FAST FORWARD: It’s now April 9th and Rosemary is in the ER with gastritis....

I literally thought I was dying guys. Every single time I ate or drank ANYTHING I would be in this immense pain. I thought it was my gallbladder (because again doctor google here) and I was pretty sure I heard it explode on the night before I finally went to the ER.

Just a friendly reminder guys, don’t be like me XD. There really is no shortcut or easy way out. You just have to stick to it.

If anyone is taking the Super Papaya Enzyme Plus, just be careful. I again self-diagnosed regarding the reason as to my Gastritis, but I since stopped taking the chewable. I have a doctors appointment with my team on the 19th and I’ll keep you guys posted!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
