I'm 11 months out and I loved coffee before surgery. Afterward I couldn't stand it at all!! I kept trying to drink it though because I missed it so much. After about 6 months I could choke down a half of a cup. Now I have a cup every morning and I enjoy it but not like I used to.

Thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate the support and help. Omeprezole does make it go away for a while.

It mostly hurts when I haven't had anything to eat. Like when there's nothing in there but the acid.

I had RNY last May and I have recently began having a severe burning in my pouch and the intestines that it connects with. It's like stomach acid is boiling in there. Has anyone else experienced this??

Thanks everyone for your responses. I've been wrapping gifts today so the exertion would not be the reason. I'm a teacher and stand/walk/squat all day everyday. Today was relaxing actually. I didn't eat a meal either. I had a sausage patty a couple hours after my morning protein shake. That's all I had eaten when this started today. It's not the first time it has happened and I was just wondering if it was something that anyone else had experienced. It lasted a couple hours today. It's not usually that long.

Has anyone experienced hard rapid heart rate? I'm wondering if I may be low on some Vitamin or something. My blood pressure is fine but I feel horrible. Lightheaded and just plain yuck. My resting heart rate is 87 right now and it feels like it is pounding. Im 5 months post op and haven't had any problems. This has been going on for about a week.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to take a moment and share that I am down 48.6 pounds in 3 months. I'm about a pound less than I usually get down to before I start gaining the weight back. I'm so excited to see the changes that are ahead for me!

Thanks!! I do walk everyday. 4 + miles. It finally moved. Thank goodness!

I love mine!!

Will it pass? I've never had this feeling. I ate a piece of deli ham. Not too much or too fast. I chewed it up really well. It's been 3 hours and I'm still in pain. I tried to eat a Popsicle a few minutes ago and threw it up.

I'm very frustrated also.

I'm one month and two days out and I still don't go very much. It's easy for me to go 5 or 6 hours without needing to go and I drink all the time.

I'm 15 days post op and for the past 2 days I have gained weight!! What's going on??? I'm worried!!

Hi Tim! I hope your surgery went well and you are recovering nicely. I'm 13 days post op and doing well. Only a couple of painful spots remain. I just moved into the puréed stage and I must say it was way easier to to get the protein in during the liquid stage. I used Carnation instant breakfast no sugar added, 13 grams of protein when mixed with 8 oz skim milk and added 1/3 cup instant fat free dry milk to make it 21 grams of protein total.

This is hard but it's going to be worth it!!
