Sorry I haven't written or responded in a while. I have had a very rough two months. I am officially 2 months out and I am just now starting to turn the corner. My hw 315, psw 269, sw 259, cw 233. The last 2 months since surgery I contracted cdiff, suffered from severe nausea and vomiting required multiple admissions for fluids and IV meds. Over the week, I have started drinking gingerale and for whatever reason I have all of a sudden started being able to hold food down. Today the doctor cleared me and I am doing so much better. I get to start my B12 injection and I got cleared to start working out. I am finally excited.

I was afraid of carbonated drinks myself, till I saw some researchers and surgeons talking about how irrelevant drinking carbonated drinks are down the line (drinks with zero sugar that is). I guess the initial worries are that you won't be able to meet Fluid and Protein gains because of all the gas

Happy you are doing better!!!

Glad you are getting cleared to workout. It helps. Listen to your body and when in doubt contact your NUT for clarity (something I do too):) People will have their "two cents" about "I would never do" but their body isn't yours so do what's best for you with approved doctors orders and wishing you all the best![emoji4]

Hang in there, the first year is the toughest from what I've heard in my local support group. You already lost quite a bit from what I read above, hang in there, I am certain it will keep getting better!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
