The past two days I have been suffering from heartburn. Any advice? I take prilosec twice a day

Yes where at?

Great advice! Thanks so much. I am going to print this out!

I weighed myself yesterday. I was 208.4lbs.

Going on a 6hr road trip this weekend with my fast food/chip loving boyfriend. I have packed premade shakes, protein bars, soy chips etc. I hope I am ready. Any suggestions?

Go to mybariatricpantry.com they sell Samples of different proteins. Maybe you can find one you like without breaking the bank.

So since everyone (doctors, friends and boyfriend) have been on my back to increase my colories to at least 800-900 (I had been doing 500-600) I have been trying to eat a little more. Unfortunately it made me soooooo sick this afternoon (spent about one hour throwing up and gagging on slime) that my stomach can't tolerate dinner. So fustrated

Try lemon with water or HINT water not sure if they have artificial sweetener though

I know it's soo easy to get up, after all we did cut out a portion of our stomach. Have faith we all stall. That's the body way of handling all that's going on. As long as your eating and drinking what you are required to eat and drink then you are fine. That extra pound could be water or TMI poop lol. You are doing great!

I was sleeved 2/8. So close in time. How are you coming along?

I am waiting in urgent care, they triaged me and took me fairly quickly while others are waiting outside still :-( hope I am ok.

I was getting ready to go to work and I felt sick, like fainting. Thought my blood sugar was low so I drank a little protein and I immediately started to gag. Now mind you I have been feeling off for about 2 weeks now. My nut tells me I have to eat more, which I have. Now I had to call out and I am sitting on couch crying. It's after hours, not sure if i should go to urgent care or wait it out till am.

Hey I am 29 and from LA too. Are you a kaiser patient?

Yay! Congrats

Was just wondering where are you guys calorie wise at this point? If I do 2 shakes as meal replacements I run lower in calories that day, around 400. If I do one shakes and then regular food throughout the day I can do 500-650. My NUT told me I HAD to increase my calories in order to have energy ( of which I was low on). Just want to know where everyone is at around this point.

Omg so jealous. I am 7.5 weeks out and my larger incision is still with a scab. Ugh frustrating

Today I weigh in at 211. Down 3lbs from last week. I have a feeling it might be a little More because I feel bloated and heavy.

The chicken broth is actually good

Will do!!! :-)

So I have been suffering from boredom of Plain protein shakes. Bought a couple of samples of shakes, protein bars, high protein snacks. Can't wait to try them

Just spoke with my doctors office. She said to up my calories. Especially since I am back at work (constantly on my feet) and going to gym 3 times a week with a trainer ( I did miss 2 sessions this week cause I was dead tired) I think I am going to up my calories a bit and do gym 2 times a week for a while and see how I feel.

Happened to me too. Seems like the days I am naughty the scale drops.

I feel that way too! And I am 7weeks out!

At work one night I had one Hershey kiss and one tiny bite of cheesecake a co worker made. Cheesecake made me feel weird, so no more for me!

Lol I read 40 ounces at first!
