Hi everyone! I have been super busy and away so I thought I would stop in and update. I joined a roller derby team and I tell ya it is an awesome work out. I have lost 56 lbs total so far but my weight loss has slowed I go see my doc next month for my 3 month post op. Otherwise all is good!

Most of us are on protonix or prilosec for 3 months per our surgeon. Aren't you?

NOO!!! UGH!! I wish I was cause it has been hell!

Have any of you had issue with stomach acid? Not in your pouch of course but in your "old stomach?" I am having it really really bad! I am having to take like 4 zantac a day it is so bad!

take the 5000mcg of Biotin a day it really helps the hair skin and nails and comes in a easy swallow gel cap! I wish I had the energy to go to the gym kudos to you..... I want to start my zumba again but I know I won't get through more than one dance!

I am taking the natrol dissolvable 7500mcg Biotin. I think last week it is because I slacked on everything. But if I start losing it clumps I am just gonna shave it and flaunt a big beautiful baldie

So I just got out of the shower and realized the drain was clogged because of my hair I think the falling out process is kicking in. I credit this to last week of not eating properly. Luckily I have really thick hair so hopefully it wont be to bad or continue since I am back on track.

Wow. When was your surgery?

I had it February 4th.

Okay so I made sure I ate 3 meals today. I got all my Protein in and all my fluids. I deep cleaned house today and worked up a good sweat so that was my exercise. I am hitting the gym again in the am. I need to figure out something new and fun to do cause I am bored with the tread mill. I am trying to prepare for the dirty girl mud run in April. I am very excited about doing it! It is a 5k I believe.

Well my Kindle finally died I am waiting for a new one so I have officially learned how to get on here from my computer LOL WOOHOO!! Soccermom I feel for you! I have yet, knock on wood, to experiance dumping. Everytime I try something new I go into a panic! My major issue lately is I havenot been eating! I am lucky if I remember to eat once a day. I have to get myself back in gear! It is just hard when I literally have no appetite!

R u on Prilosec or protonix?

No. I have been taking zantac twice a day but if I miss a dose or it wears off it is horrid.

Ok this stomach acid issue is annoying!

So I called my doc about the stomach pain I was having. Turns out it was my stomach acid. I took a zantac and it went away. Thank goodness cause it was super bad. I kept telling my doc it feels like my stomach is burning. He thought I was crazy lol

So my nausea is from eating too fast. I dunno how much slower I can go lol also met with the dietician today for my post op follow up and I have lost a total of 30 lbs! That motivates me even more!

Ugh everything has been going great and then Friday everytime I eat or drink I get super nauseas. Gonna put a call in tomorrow to the doc. I will be 3 wks post op tomorrow.

My RNY was on Wednesday- I'm post-OP!!

In the hospital until tomorrow. I started clear liquids today! I've been walking as much as I can without falling to sleep. And I've farted today!! Wahoo!

Looking forward to being home in my own bed to snuggle my husband!

Welcome to the losing side! Glad all went well! Congrats!

I really like the Unjury Protein Shakes. They don't have that Protein taste that all others have. I mix mine with Water and it still tastes great. I have even mixed it with the light soy milk and the low carbon milk and it taste just like a chocolate shake!

I have encountered the feeling like I have some contagious disease that no one has syndrome lol. We were invited for a spaghetti dinner at a friends house Sunday. Also Saturday was my bday. So I was feeling blue because no bday cake and no spaghetti allowed. I told myself I have been good and deserve a reward. I ate two bits of spaghetti and made sure I chew chew chewed. No issues. I even had a teaspoon of cake. I was completely satisfied. I had no issues from it until yesterday afternoon and honestly dunno if that is what caused the visiting of the toilet cause hubby was having tummy issues too. Don't beat yourselves up. Remember you did this to be healthier and more than likely all the foods we were eating before weren't helping us but hurting. In time we will able to eat regular foods but in moderation.

Hey everyone! I am glad to see everyone is doing better. Today I am 14 days post op. I went from 247 morning of surgery to 236 as of today. Eating is getting easier. I just have to remember to eat otherwise all id good. My first followup is on Thursday.

I had the rny gastric bypass on the 4th of Feb at Depaul and yourself?

I live in Norfolk

So I asked my doc about roller coasters. He said we are safe to ride. He said he doesn't see why we wouldn't get that tummy in your throat feeling either lol

Hay to the gas Gods! Boo to the pain meds making you feel yuk! I hope everything works out for you. What are you on for pain? They had me on lortab elixir and I will say it tastes yuk!

Katt77 I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Omg they are gonna give you so many enemas you are gonna blow an o ring! Tell them to lay off your booty duty!

Hang in there Hun! Hopefully tomorrow everything will work out in your favor.

Wow! Yeah they are going a lil over board!
