Called the hospital today and they said to up the PPI to 80 mg per day and wait 3-4 days. I'm kind of relieved they didn't tell me "come in immediately".
In addition one of our surgeons palpated my stomach and did an ultrasound so we could rule out any really scary stuff for now.

I am craving fresh fruit so bad. I am camping and I want nothing more than a big slice of watermelon... I am noticing that I am not even craving unhealthy stuff any more... All I really want is watermelon and salad!

Glad you are getting fluids and able to keep things down. I hope this is your road to recovery!

Just an update I went to doctor yesterday because of all the vomiting and feeling so bad, he direct admitted me, started lots of fluids, I was low on some Vitamins so have been receiving them, also Reglan every 4 hours, didn't get sick last night or 2day, getting ready as I type to drink some broth and try some Jello, fingers crossed it stays down.

I surprisingly don't mind people eating good food in front of me. I love the smells but don't care to eat it. It's really weird. Since being in the hospital I started eating soft foods. I had retried Beans with cream cheese mixed with taco seasoning and cheese on top! Nothing ever tasted better!

That reminds me why I plan on skipping certain events during the next week and maybe months. That restaurant/celebration thing bothers me a lot. Luckily we're no restaurant people. We prefer to eat at home so it's no everyday issue.

It's manageable, isn't it....and you'll wake up tomorrow feeling sooooo good about yourself! Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

It will happen sooner than you think!!

I don't eat till I'm full either. I usually fill this small bowl I have. I think it's like 3 ounces. When I put my Beans in there, I fill it to the rim and I eat all of it with no problem. The egg filled up two halfs of the bowl. So I didn't expect to get full. I guess because it is more solid than the beans? I don't know, but the fill feeling was amazing for me. This is really going to work! 1 egg? Really? I felt like I had just ate a whole footlong from Subway. The underwear comment... lol.. yeah it does come out of no where. I only mentioned it because my comfy undies are feeling a bit loose in the caboose.

Speaking of comfy undies....I never thought of this but maybe a year from now I won't be buying my underwear in a "5 Pack+Bonus 2 Free!" Package from JustMySize or fruit of the Loom. Underwear won't just be something I mindlessly toss in my cart at Target along with Windex and light bulbs and Cheerios.

I love eggs but I'm not very fond of scrambled eggs. Since I am tired of Beans, I gave it a shot. I thought maybe I would actually enjoy it. Nope! The only way I could eat it, was to add a tablespoon of sugar-free ketchup.
The point is, I finally felt the "full" feeling. I had one spoon left to eat from that one egg, but I was so full. I was so excited!
ALSO... someone told me that I should buy new underwear. I'm glad I did, you guys should too.

@ u go girl! So happy for you

liquid foods I'm having 4 ounces (thick soups). pureed foods, I'm having 2-3 ounces. If I have more than that, I feel sick. Not sick like dumping syndrome, but I feel sick like uncomfortable. It's hard to explain it. I don't know if that is what "full" feels like, but I am labeling it as I'm full. So I stop.

Dear Refried Beans,
When I bought you, I couldn't wait to taste you. I feared you might be too chunky, so that is why I put you in my juice blender. Once you were done, I put you in a 1/2 cup Glade tupperware. I then wanted you to be warm, so I put you in the microwave. You were so hot, the flavor so delicious and spicy. I enjoyed several small spoons of you. Then, the worst happened. I became full but my head was not. I wanted to keep eating you, but I just could not. Please understand, it's not you, it's me.
Love,
Monica

How many oz is everyone eating per meal at this point?
one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

I know exactly how hard that is! Hang in there
I am 3 weeks off now, will be 4 on Friday and today is first day that I almost don't have nausea and was able to eat. It will get better, that I see now... I honestly didn't think it would...

Got the staples removed on Friday. The wounds look fine so far.

@@Lana R.
I understand you completely, I am in the same boat with the nausea... I never knew how hard it can be when you have no appetite to eat

None that I know of. I use nectar Protein. 1 scoop is 23 grams. I use two scoops.
Then I add 16 ounces of fat free lactate milk. The milk is 18 grams of Protein for the 16 ounces.
It makes up to be 64 grams.

I just started on soft food. Was so looking forward to it. But it kinda sucks..hard to get enough protien in. Hard to tell when I'm full cuz my belly still wants food but it's kinda stuck. It's very tough....comments? Advice?
