2.75 years out I started out by keeping it to myself as I was a little embarrassed I guess maybe I told 10 people . But the longer it’s been the more I own it. Now if someone ask I normally just tell them. People will always judge idgaf honestly. My wife’s friend who doesn’t know makes jokes about it being the easy way out and my wife laughs and we joke Bout it because my pre op and post op diets freaked my wife out and she saw that it’s not EASY at all!

I worked on the railroad at the time and now I’m the oilfield. I took about a month off before returning. My biggest piece of advise would be start practicing early on water consumption in small amounts. I returned to work and had to be taken to hospital first day for dehydration... the lifting I was very careful I made my job aware I was on light duty but personally didn’t tell them the reason. You guys will be fine just stay hydrated and lift smart!

I’m about 2.75 years out and I’ve been taking a PPI to treat Gerd daily. Has anyone taken Omeprazole long term or any PPI. I’m concerned with some of the literature I see. It links PPIs like Omeprazole to esophagus cancer. I’m confused does PPIs help or hurt the cancer risk. I know there are other problems associated. Anyone with gerd post op I’m interested to hear your thoughts!!

I’m very concerned. I’ve been taking for almost three years and haven’t followed up with doc in a while. I really need them but so scared to see if I’m helping or hurting myself. Let’s keep each other up to date I’m calling doctor his week!

See my diet it similar if not the same as yours and I'm 23 young and was released same day from hospital. I also am thinking about starting puréed food on the 3rd week and I just don't see how it could be a problem when these other people are going wild lol. I haven't cheated one but since my pre op diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
