one day at a time

The reason I had RNY was due to this same sounding pain. My doc told me it was esophageal spasms and gerd related; that this surgery would help. I had my surgery in Feb and I still have the pains! They doc prescribed me nitro to take as needed/when I have the "attack" and it helps immediately. I hope you get it figured out. Good luck.

I started at 214#. Had surgery in feb. and I'm at 132. You will lose.

Went to the ER. Diagnosed with an ulcer! No fun...

I'm 8 months out and the only foods I have trouble with are triscuts and pork chops. I can eat everything including fried foods and dairy. I eat these foods in moderation!

I drink tons of fluids but will try to drink more these next few days to see if it helps. Thank you!

I wake up most every night with charley horses in my calfs and/or feet. I've never had this problem before and hurts like hell! Any insight would be appreciated. I'm almost 8 months out.

2/20/13 dos was 214. Today I'm at 136 and still losing. 5'3. My goal weight was 140, but I still have some to lose so im not sure what I will stop at. My fear at this point is losing too much.

7 months out.... Went shopping and bought size 7/8 pants and small sweaters. Medium was too big! I enjoy being able to buy cute clothes. So happy

Yay! Weighed this morning and down to #140.4!!! I've upped my carbs and lost 8#in 2 weeks. Finally not overweight; although my left over flab tells me differently.....

I was served decaf in the hospital-post op. I drink it every day and mix with my protein (chocolate-which makes it taste like a mocha) some days I nix decaf and regular.

It's my only hope. I have Bell's palsy and feeling rough. prednisone is not helping ......

We were at 62 and I wanted my long johns! Holy crap it's cold!

Have any of you had to take prednisone after bypass? And, was it ok?

Today I was prescribed a full cycle of prednisone starting tomorrow. The doctor was not my regular physician and just want to make sure it's okay to take with the bypass. Thoughts or insight? I'm 6 months out....
