I'm 2 1/2 months postop and ever since I have been two months postop I've been getting nauseous every time I eat. I have a miracle cure that works for me hopefully will help some of you out there suffering from the same ailment. It's called meclizine. It is sold in Connecticut at Walmart and under the equate brand which is Walmarts brand as motion sickness medication. Is a miracle cure if I eat too much or I just get nauseous. I take one and 45 minutes later I feel fantastic again. I hope this helps you as well

I have been chewing juicy fruit sugarless gum since the day of surgery. It takes the bad taste out of my mouth and curbs my sweet tooth. And if I feel hungry it takes those cravings away as well. But yes the surgeon made sure that I knew not to swallow it because it could cause a blockage. My suggestion is just do what your surgeon says. But I will tell you I'm glad my surgeon allows sugarless gum

I previously had a lap band and lost only 35 pounds. So when I got to the 35 pound mark with my RNY I panicked thinking this is it I'm not gonna lose anymore and then I got on the scale and I'm now losing 2 pounds a week which is fine for me. When I first had the surgery I wanted 10 pounds a week to come off. It's just not like that I might go week without losing anything and then I would lose five or 6 pounds in one day. So stick with it and don't be too discouraged because you'll be able to eat anything you want in moderation as long as you know your full

OMG I craved everything from shrimp to chicken with anything but a little tiny bit of mayonnaise on it. It totally gets better I am almost 3 months out eating anything I want moderation. The only thing I found hard to do was to realize when I was hungry. Before surgery I was full when the entire bag of potato chips was emptied. Now I might have one potato chip and feel full. But it's the realization that you're full. It's a whole new world and a fantastic journey that you will end up loving once you can eat solid food. I regretted the surgery and thought I was going to die with the stuff that I had to eat and drink for three weeks post surgery. But there is light at the tunnel and the journey is amazing, I'm glad I did it and I think you will be too

Congrats! That's an amazing accomplishment you should be very proud of yourself

Thank you for posting this as alot of us are struggling with what seems like an an eternity achieving our goal weight. So thank you for the inspiration and you look amazing by the way

Back to the coffee....I have been using SF flavored creamer since a month out. I am now almost 2 months out and no problems.

Kim that happened to me with the scale at bariatric doctor. I was so mad. But I know when I go to my PCP he hasn't changed over. So I'm looking forward to going to see him and sliding that thing on the 150 Dj. I've now been struggling between 201 98 for the last two weeks. But I know it's a process you'll get there too my friend. Keep up the good work

Lol. I was stuck at 200.8 for 4 days. Omg it drive me crazy! I thought it would never move. Then 198.4. You will be there soon enough!! Congrats to you too! Keep up the good work!

Other people's posts of help me get where I am and I know will continue to help me get to my goal. So I'm glad I could help????????

Finally after 15 years I am now in ONEderland! I never ever thought I would see a 1 in front of my weight. I will tell those who feel they are struggling that if I can do it ANYONE can do it. I'm not saying it's going to be easy but it's going to be worth it. 2 weeks ago I was crying because I was stalled at 211 and now I'm crying because I finally get to see the number 1 in front of my weight. Those that are "skinny" don't understand what a life-changing event it is and how something so simple as to have a 1 in front of your weight can make you so happy. Good luck to all and for the first time since having the surgery do I feel as though I'm going to succeed!!!

Thank you so so much for all your help. Everybody's input is really valuable to me. Sending them to the hotel would be an awesome idea only were going to be in Venice for one day and then a seven day cruise to Greece and then two days in Venice at the end. Otherwise that would've worked really well. I think I will have to go with the powder. Although I hate the powder it's the next best alternative. Thanks again have a great day everyone

I brought my bed pillow. Best choice ever. I slept much better in hospital with it. Also, a G2 zero drink. Hospitals don't have them and it helps the nausea if you get it.

I had my RNY on March 16, even though I am on solid foods I do enjoy an Atkins EAS Protein Shake daily as a protein booster (chocolate yum). Anyway, I will be traveling to Venice/Greece in May and am wondering if I should pack a 2 weeks worth of shakes ( a lot of weight in suitcase ) or try to find a place in Venice that sells them. I can't imagine being able to find them there. Any suggestions, or has anyone seen them in Italy/ Greece stores.
