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....

Soccer mom I see you are at 199! Way to go! You're a rock star

I'm from brainerd! A far way from Rochester.

Hungry yes. Snacking yes! I find hungrier in the evening- when I'm thinking about it. Down to 147# today. Unfortunately not exercising very much. Mainly walking.

I'm finding myself snacking on unhealthy carbs! Ugh. Makes me depressed.

Cecilia, you popped up on my google circles and you look fabulous in the picture!

Great job! Keep it up.

Would it be heartburn? Acid reflux?

I was stalled for about 3-4 weeks. I've upped protein AND calories. Weight is going off again!
