Starting to see the difference myself.

Here is the box. . Sorry it is for blisters not corns.

I had that with my side one. I cleaned it with perixide and then would put the thick brown (corn pad protector) band aide on. Then I would change it once weekly. It is the same as a duoderm. My side one ended up healing the best out of all of mine now.

Tried them and threw them out!!! Taste really nasty!!

You have lost more than me. I am 1/29/13 and am only down 24 pounds. My sister helps to remind me that she was exercising and dieting since the fall and has only lost 26 pounds. Here I have lost 25 in 1.5 months. I could never have done this without the surgery. First thing you should do is have someone hide your scale!!!! I only weight myself once a week, otherwise I become obsessed and depressed. Don't worry about the scale, it is just a number. Concentrate on how you feel about the new you coming forward!!! By the way, you are doing awesome!!!! I am jealous

I know how you feel. My surgery was 1/29/13 and have only lost 22.2 pounds. I start to feel great, then find myself comparing and wondering what I am doing wrong.

I am three weeks out and do not regret my choice. I have lost 16 pounds, though that is not the best thing. I have found that I now eat to live and not live to eat. Going through this showed me how addicted I was to food and helped me to start to help with this addiction. I could have lost the weight without it, but would have gained it back plus more, because I was never treating the real problem. This surgery effects you physically and emotionally. I have had no complications and will admit the first two weeks are hard.

Thanks, will try the papaya enzyme first and see what happens. If not I will probably be taking a 1.5 hour drive to my MD.

2 and half weeks post op. took papaya enzyme but burped it up within 15 minutes . I feel okay until I take a sip of water, then the pain start and I burp the water up to the back of my throat. Never gets in my mouth though now.

How long does this last? I ate dinner 5 hours ago? I cant even sip water without it being burped to the back of the throat.

I have noticed that I am always cold now!!! I am currently in 6 blankets and still cold.

I went to a restaurant and ordered Alaska samon broiled. When it arrived it was swimming on butter. I only got about six tiny bites in before pain and upset stomach. I ended up "burping" 1/4 th of it. Ever since when I try and drink I get pain and start to burp it up to the back of my throat. Has anyone ever had this happen? Is this dumping or something else?
