You remember way more than I do, but I'm ok with that. I probably don't need to know if I treated them all to my favorite rendition of some FloRida song!

At 4 or 5 days you will be getting rid of stuff in your bowels that was there before surgery. Once that's gone, it will turn from rabbit turds to cow pies because protein shakes.

@TheRealMeIsHere! Congrats on your weight loss of 115 lbs. Great accomplishment. Your eating plan, whatever works for you, is what counts. I am a "recovering" morbidly obese person. Analogy - "recovering" alcoholic. good luck to the alcoholic for not having that first drink. hope/wishes to all of us for not eating that WHOLE pie, cake, bag of chips etc.☺️ kathy

Back in the day, we used to have baby feeding bowls you put hot water into the bottom of. Shame they don't seem to make them anymore, I think they would be perfect.🍝

Bihhh, Eat everything. Joking joking. Take a bite. Toss it. Move to the next treat. If you like but... Join the ❤ January 2019 Challenge ❤ 😁😁😁😁😁😁

I had terrible acid reflux after my gastric sleeve on December 12th. Every time I'd swallow, I'd have to burp and then a radiating pain would occur across my back. My doc said it was very bad reflux and prescribed me Calafate 4x a day, in addition to the esomeperazol that I was already taking. The pain went away after 5 days...thank God! Talk to your doc about taking something for it because there is relief out there.

My wife stayed with me until about 5 pm and came back the next day around 9 am. It wasn't bad at all. The staff were great, but just keep in mind that it's a hospital and the 'squeaky wheel gets the grease' when you need something. They're busy and you won't exactly be a high priority (at least that's the way it seemed). Bring things to keep you occupied; iPad (don't forget the charger), books, music, etc. Or just enjoy the narcotic haze every 4-6 hours. 😵

The nurse at my docs office suggested it after 2 years of trying on my own

I had my surgery in April 2017, and have had to take omeprazole ever since. I can stop taking it for like a week, but then the acid in stomach comes up into my throat. It's awful. My dr says its normal but sometimes people choose to go back and get the full bypass done to get rid of the acid.

Also see if elevating your head when you sleep helps. Sometimes it does. An extra pillow or a wedge of some sort, maybe?
