I threw up and dry heaved for weeks! Sometimes I could keep down a little water if I put lime in it. And oddly enough sometimes I could take a few bite of refried beans. My potassium got super low as well and I sipped/drank orange juice. Hope this helps!

You have given up food. Its like loosing a friend. I had a grieving period for this loss where I was full of regret and depressed. I think it is normal. Mine passed and hopeful yours will as well.

I am two years out and I take a drink of milk if magnesium every night and follow it with some water. It is probably about I tbsp nightly. I have found this keeps me regular. I also eat veggies with every meal including breakfast. One veggie in particular that gets my stomach moving is cauliflower especially riced. You just have to experiment to find what is right is for you.

Love cauliflour rice - my go to breakfast is CR With turkey sausage and a sprinkle of cheese.

I love that i now weigh less than husband!!

I am 11/2 years out and I still measure I keep my meat to 3 1/2 to 4 ounces. I do not measurd veggies but it wouls probably be about 1/2 cup

I am year and half out and I still feel light headed at times. It happens when I have not had enough water or maybe a low protein morning. I think it is my body's way of reminding me. So I just think about what I was lacking that day and correct it and it goes away.

I dont know if it work out or not I am 1 1/2 years out and I take a swig of MOM everynight. It is as if my body no longers knows how to go on its own and has been this way since surgery.

I like turkey sausage for breakfast. You can get ground, link, or patty. I usually add some squash and zuchini. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I take a swig if MOM every night an d every morning it works! I have tried all the other stuff - miralax, benefiber etc and MOM is the best for me. I have often felt the same as you it as if my body has forgotten how to poop!

Yes it works [emoji28]

Miralax gives me cramps as well - I liked benefiber more than miralax but still not great results. I take a drink of MOM every night with some water. Probably about tablespoon or less and that has given me the best results from constipation.

Just read your post. I was wondering what kind of stent you had? I had an esophageal stent for 6 weeks after my esophagus was torn during surgery. It was awful to have that stent. Your story sounds very familiar someone that had a somewhat similar experience. I am 1 1/2 years out doing great and i do not regret the surgery but it does still haunt me at times what all i went through. I also think that i am more committed to keeping the weight off since i almost died for it. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I like ground turkey sausage with some squash. I usually have the sausage precooked and saute some squash with olive oil. I also like turkey bacon. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app
