Jenny A

It has been much better. My nausea and pain are gone. Unless I eat to much or to fast. I also have IBS and this has helped with that also.

I had gastroparesis also. I had gastric bypass 2/16/17. Am I am doing great. I've lost 90 lbs so far. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Has anyone used plexus after gastric bypass?

I would like to be your buddy. I'm 32 years old and I have had the gastric bypass surgery on Feb 16 2017. Please feel free to email me at jen8984@yahoo.com

Would also like to know why?
The run-up to my op were many months of careful decision making and liaising with various doctors who specialize in their respective fields. This was all to make sure I was a good candidate and to best equip me to make the final decision.
My bmi is now 20 and I feel great. I eat 3 full and 3 snack meals a day and I enjoy all of them.
There are also huge medical benefits. Why do you feel like you would like to go back?

I can not believe what I am reading. If I say I am gonna pray for someone I am not projecting my religion. I am simply saying I will ask my God to look over you. If you don't believe that's all well and good. But it never hurts to have someone thinking about you.

3-5x a day. Chronic diarrhea. History of IBS and I suffer from dumping syndrome as well. It's a battle every day. I never pass up a bathroom!

Water with drops. The only artificial sweetener I like is Stevia

http://www.sturdrinks.com/ Orange Mango tastes great, almost like orange juice, almost

These are good http://sweetleaf.com/stevia-water-enhancer/ I like the lemonade

The nice thing about drops is you can keep them in your purse and you can turn any water into a tasty drink. Comes in handy at restaurants.

The Premier Protein shakes are the best for me. They are 30 grams of protien each and packed with Vitamins.
In the beginning it took me over an hour to sip one down, but now it's about 40 minutes. I try to do 2 each day.
I drink Gatorade G2, but I Water it down. I like it better then the MIO drops (personally- so many friends love them). So I will pour the Gatorade into 3 different empty 16z bottles of water and then water it down. I do this bc the Gatorade still has calories and carbs and I'm trying to keep my carbs down as low as possible and don't want excess empty calories.
I will drink plain water, but I find it hard too.
I get my premier Protein from costco. chocolate, vanilla and bananas and cream. They have strawberry and caramel on line. I've heard that Walmart may carry it too in 4 packs. It is WAY more paletable for me then any other protien shake so far. I just haven't found a powder that isn't gritty and gross - but again it's so personal, my friend will ONLY drink the powders.
Vitamins are important too. I use Patches (patchmd.com) and today was the first time since surgery I didn't wear them...and I felt like crap. Needed a nap and if I wasn't visiting family, I would have stayed asleep...so I think they are helping with my energy. The patches I love bc it's one less thing to factor into my day of "eating" and drinking.
But get in you FLUID! Dehydration is one of the most frequent complications from surgery and it can be prevented (most of the time) with some effort. And believe me, I feel you, it was effort. I set alarms to remind myself to take sips and eat. lol.
I hope you feel better. It takes some time, but focus on healing and the protien and fluids will help the healing.

Yeah, Chaos and I go to the same place, so I've tried the same sample pack. A few of them are passable, but it mostly is the equivalent of bubble gum flavored medicine. It tastes passable to swallow it. There's no mistaking it for candy.

I'm DREADING those berry flavored Celebrate ADEK vitamins they gave us. I could barely choke down one. To do that multiple times a day for months? PASS.

Hi I'm 4 days post op and I messed up. I purchased Vitamin zero but regular Vitamin Water was on the same shelf and I picked that one up too. I didn't realize t until after I drank it. Can something bad happen. I didn't get sick from it.

Mine is tomorrow. I'm freaking out.
