How long for our little tummies to empty?
shrinkadonk replied to shrinkadonk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
are you sure its hunger and not gas or acid? are you taking an acid reducer? i dont feel true hunger, but i do feel like i am empty or a little weak. im 4 weeks post op, today. -
How long for our little tummies to empty?
shrinkadonk posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Being that I no longer feel true hunger, its hard to know how long it takes to empty my tummy. I was told it can hold 3-4 oz at a time. I'm guessing certain foods take longer? water less? I'm completely ignorant on this. anyone have a clue? -
Searching for encouragement
shrinkadonk replied to Stranger 123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow. To imply someones doctor is not good because he performed the surgery differently or used different technique is not only harsh but its a statement that does zero good after the fact if it were true. I have noticed that the method of surgery, diet afterwards and even pre op diet varies from different regions of the country AND based on the size/health/pre-existing scar tissue of the patient. You can not make an inflammatory blanket statement like that and not expect to ruffle a few feathers. -
Anyone with surprises at their endoscopy?
shrinkadonk replied to Im done mooing.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry to hear it try not to be alarmed it is probably benign. Did they biopsy it? Was this a pre op endo? -

Mine is 1000 and then covered 90 percent after that. -
Its insane. I'm up till 3-4 am, and the crazy thing is I'm not even super tired when I wake at 7. Whats up with that? Reduce your calories, reduce sleep? Anyone else, or am I the only weirdo?

shrinkadonk replied to shrinkadonk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you so much for the reply. Believe it or not, they dont make the suppository form any longer (canasa) but maybe I could talk to the doc about finding a compound pharmacy to do so. I'll be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. I put a call into my nutritionist, I am concerned the coating may get "stuck" in my pyloric something or another, which she explained could not handle seeds, pickles, etc. for 6 months. Anyway, I am miserable right now so I'm willing to try anything. Thanks again for your reply, and if you are a car mechanic, I wish you were local, because your pretty darn smart! Thanks for the suggestions!
