  1. i just emailed my Dr and listed my concerns and questions. i hope to get a reply soon to see what would be my next step. Thank you for the support.
  2. Thank you for the support and KristenLee will keep you posted. I would seek another opinion but i am currently in Africa and such procedure is not common here. The pill helps so i don't have acid reflux all day . i think i chew well and i do try to eat soft or Soups but at time a piece of boiled potato gets stuck and i am doomed all day. i will try to ask around and see if i can do an image here and then send it to my Dr. to seek his opinion. I wanted to know if it was normal or who else is experiencing this. i guess it is not normal and i need to do something about it. Eating a steak is definitely something i don't even think of lolol
  3. we have made it !! one year now. my experience has been rocky but the results are great. I still suffer from heartburn and i don't know when that will be over. I am still struggling to eat but hopeful that things will get better. Cheers to us!
  4. Thank you for your comment. I spoke to my Dr and he said it is ok it is normal just try to eat only soft foods. i am starting to doubt if it is normal or not ?
  5. Hello Everyone ! I was sleeved a year ago after going through gastric band first 6 years ago. I am finding it hard to eat. I have major heartburn so still taking Omeprazol each morning, i am kind of under weight now and still cant get food down easily. At time even liquids are hard to keep down as something is blocking the passage. Anyone has experienced this before ? and will it ever get better ? I hear people talking about weight gain and some people can eat all kinds of things few months after surgery, which makes me wonder why i am suffering this much a year after my surgery? What is your experience and what do you think???
  6. i am 10 months out and i still have a hard time eating nuts, so i think it depends on your body. Try a small amount and see how well they go down !
  7. Just use h use him and his comment as a reason to prove him wrong and not gain it back. Yes some people do put it back and some don't so try and be one of those who don't Then go see him again in two years Don't allow anyone to make you feel bad cause nobody is walking in your shoes !!
  8. Hello everyone, I am down 60 Lbs and hit my goal. I first had a band then got sleeved last year. I really cant eat much at all, still a lot of food i can digest. I can go two or three days without food if something gets stuck. it is annoying and painful when it does and i just have to be patient. I still cant drink with food for at least 2 hours after. Heartburn is a big issue for me, still taking Omeprazol each morning. Only if that could go away I need to exercise cause i don't like the loose skin but i am not motivated. this is my next step is to exercise. Keep it up guys !!!!
  9. I have exactly the same problems. My heartburn is an issue and i take Omeprazole every morning . I just hope this wont stay like this for the rest of my life.\ Bathroom too is a nightmare, i only for every 3 to 4 days and i know i am gonna suffer. i order a few fiber supplements as i read on this message board so lets see if they will help. I am really not enjoying this surgery.
  10. I do it more often then i would like it is becoming a habit to puke it back up. i really am hating the entire process.

    i am taking Omeprazole, one every morning. Sometimes the heartburn wakes me up in the morning cause the effect of the pill wore off. I cant see myself taking a pill every day for the rest of my life

    Thank you guys for the support ! the funny thing is my doctor never told me to take Protein shakes or Vitamins, i decided to add those in because of all the post on this forum. His list of what to do and what not to do was super small and i was even allowed to drink diet coke after the liquid stage (which i never did). I feel my doctor is not really looking into the health side of things but i am. today my assistant made the comment that since last month my body has slimmed a lot. it felt really good as i wore a tight dress to work. i will keep believing that there is hope and things will get better. i guess i will continue taking each day by day and try to enjoy the ride.
