Oh...ok! When I put my info in, it put me at 1200 a day. I changed it to 1000.....I may have to take that number down some bcuz I'm still having a bit of a time with my intake. But I know it will change. Best if wishes to u in ur loosing journey!

I used my fitness pal b4 I had this procedure done....and it worked good for me.....until I fell off track. I'm now downloading it again to get back on the wagon to getting down to my weight goal. My only issue is bcuz I have acid reflux, its kinda hard still for me to get in what I'm needing. I am doing better than I was last week. My question is, when putting ur goals in, how many calories do u put n to intake a day?

Thank u much!! Yeah, I am gonna call on Monday. Today, I've just been sipping Gatorade...that's it! Not even 8ozs all day. But I also don't want to be on this medicine forever either. I pray it'll come under submission real soon. Thanx again!

Well, my reflux wasn't really bad prior, but it's worse now. Tho when I was doing research on the vsg, it did mention that the reflux may get worse. Now, I was asked by someone that was working with my doc in her office why didn't I get the bypass since I was having this issue. He said bcuz of the reflux it would've been better. I also read on here on ladies post that she'd gotten a scope done and bcuz of her reflux they were gonna do the full bypass and not the sleeve.

Acid reflux is basically when u can't keep any Fluid or anything u eat down. It'll go down but come back up like when u burp. Ull also have a nasty taste in ur mouth or the back of ur throat. Sometimes it may feel like u have a lump in ur throat and u may have a sick feeling in ur stomach. These are the symptoms that I've had and because of it, I haven't been able to get in what I need to. Its not a good thing at all!!! I hope u don't have or get it!

Thanx! My doc is gonna scope me in 2 weeks. She didn't want to on Monday bcuz she said its to soon. Thanx for sharing!

I haven't been get down much of nothing!! I'd try and do my soy milk and protein powder which will give me a total of 32g, and that hasn't been happening for me....especially in this last week. I tried fixing a smoothie and I got down maybe half a cup with that bn all of any intake that whole day.

Well, that's good to know. I hope my issue will get better soon as well. Had u or do u feel hungry a lot, bcuz I do?

I have been checked for leaks, don't have any. She wanted to scope me on Monday, but she felt it was a lil too soon since I was then only a lil over 2 weeks. Reason for bypass was to reduce the reflux. I was told because of having the reflux issue prior, I should have gotten that anyway. But we'll see...

Ok....I'm 3 weeks post op today and am just coming home from the ER because of bn dehydrated. Since being sleeved, I have been back in the ER 2wice for dehydration and after the first time in the ER, a day later I was readmitted into the hospital for 3 days. This acid reflux is really the pits for me!! I'm not able to get down a good 8oz of fluid and I'm feeling like crap! I'm not fully vomiting, but whatever I try drinking or eating, it comes right back up to the back of my mouth and its NASTY....NASTY....NASTY!!!! My meds have been increased but the sad thing is since I can't get much fluids in, the meds aren't dissolving really like it needs to. On top of that, (not to get tooo nasty), I'm not using the bathroom like I should be. So, my question is, is their anyone else having this problem? If so, how r u dealing with it?? I mean the only thing that seems to kinda stay down are SF popsicles. I know it takes a while to get things down, but like all day today b4 going to ER, I had maybe 4ozs of my soy milk and protein. I just finished the rest of it.....other than that, I had 2 bags of IV fluids. I pray this gets better, my doc said if not I may have to go back in for bypass. I just feel miserable and often a lil weak. Anyone else like this??

Thank u! I'm 4 days out
