    Pixers got a reaction from epiphani in foamies?   
    I had this once it was horrible. Usually now if I eat too much Or too fast. I will start burping a lot. Usually I can stop before either happen now.
    There are several times I will put another bite in my mouth and spit it out because I know I had enough.

    Pixers got a reaction from melhealthy in Buffet restaurants?   
    I just went to a buffet for the first time since surgery (6weeks) last night for my youngest daughters birthday. I had a couple bites of steak some veggies and a spoonful of sugar free chocolate pudding.
    I most likely didn't get my Protein in for dinner. But I didn't over eat, eat too fast, or get sick.
    Of course I didn't "get our money's worth" on as much as I ate. However it wasn't about that. It was about spending time together celebrating a birthday.
    I have wasted money on far more stupid things.

    Pixers got a reaction from Dawnakers in July RNY Page   
    I had surgery July 9th. I had a rough start. I had a reaction to the morphine which caused me to stay in the hospital for 4 days instead of 2. I also developed am infection in one of my incisions.
    Everything is cleared up and I feel great. I am down 40 pounds. I am back to work full time. I walk 2 miles on my breaks during work and walk some more when I get home.

    Pixers got a reaction from sunnkistme in Sleeve or Bypass   
    I went over the same question a million times. I wasn't sure until right before we submitted to insurance. I went with RYN. It was my first choice when I first started out. Also I HAD gerd and I WAS borderline diabetic. Both of which I don't have anymore.

    Pixers got a reaction from pik in How about your jewelry (rings) after surgery?   
    My rings slipped off me today when I was giving my puppy a bath. I am trying to convince my husband to buy me another diamond band to match the one I have now then I can wear the loose ones on the bottom and a tighter one on top to keep them on.

    Pixers got a reaction from pik in I am just ill.   
    I was having a hard time with Vitamins too. I got Gummy ones. I can handle those. I had tried liquid ones and the ell alone made me sick.
    For my Protein shakes I mix French vanilla powder. chocolate powder, almond milk and a half of cup of Decaf coffee. It's pretty good I can't taste the powder.
    I had a rough 3 weeks after surgery but you have had it much worse. I hope you recover soon!

    Pixers reacted to James Marusek in foamies?   
    "Foamies" are when you vomit up part of your meal (a nasty saliva foamy mix). It happens if you eat too much, eat too fast, or don't chew well enough. Foamies result when your stoma becomes blocked and the body's natural reaction is to produce a slimy foam liquid and copious amounts of it.
    After you experience this once or twice, you tend to detect the warning signs and stop before you get to this stage.

    I had my surgery July 9th! I had a rough start. I had a bad reaction to the morphine in the hospital and one of my incisions became infected. But now I feel great! Going back to work on Monday. I both look forward and dread going back:)

    It may depend on the Dr. I was told it would count. Then my Dr retired when I was on month 4. My new Dr said it doesn't count so I did 7 months.

    Pixers got a reaction from pik in RNY - how are you feeling?   
    I had RNY on 7/9. I was doing really good the day after and then I had a bad reaction to the morphine. My 2 night stay ended up being a 4 night stay. I have 2 incisions one in the middle and one on my left side. On my left side I had a JP Drain.
    I am still taking my pain meds frequently. I try stretching it past every 4 hours sometimes I can sometimes I can't. The incision on the left is the one giving me the most pain. I see my medication go down with every dose and I will be out before this weekend and I am scared to death.
    I am not getting in all of my Water or all of my Protein either. I try to walk around as much as I can but most of my day is spent in bed. Yesterday I managed to go to the store for a few things and I thought I was going to die.
    I usually have to take ambien to sleep but not since surgery. Now I sleep a lot. I know once the pain is gone I will be happy I did this. But right now I'm thinking what the hell did I do to myself?
