  1. Currently 50lbs from my goal weight and this by far has been the hardest journey of my life. I have been admitted into the hospital for severe Dehydration,  I have been well for a couple weeks an then BAM the last couple days back to feeling ruff... My gurd is controlled some times I dont need my heartburn meds other times I live on them. Im loosing slowly at this point but I consider that a blessing as I  have lost a lot very quickly in the beginning of my journey, I do want to feel better. I try foods that I would think would work well with my new stomach some times its a big fail 2 days ago it was avacado I hovered over the porcline god an prayed for releif as I sometimes dont understand, I often times crave carbs and Im trying to control my cravings but its so hard... My sugar tends to drop really low and that makes me very ill Im happy with my progress but often times think WTF did I do to myself, feeling down today as I just dont feel well at all :(

      I am not... One day at a time at this point some days are good others not so much but Im trying and that counts

  2. So this morning I hit my 70lb weight loss however at what cost?  It has been just 9 weeks and I feel that maybe that is a bit to fast and in a hurry.... The last 5-6 days have been very very hard i can not eat anything I currently can not even drink water with out getting sick to my stomach and or throwing up :( Im not sure what Im doing wrong yesterday I managed to get all My viatmins in however I dont think i will be that luck today :( I figured maybe heartburn but I dont think so as that is something I have delt with from day one...My PCP just put me on a new Meds So I stopped it and pray it gets out of my system quickly and I can be back on a good food and water regiman at this point I feel horrible :( and am regretting hole heart every thing I have done to my body becuase currently and most of the last week I have felt horrible

  3. 56lbs down and seen my doc and he asked me to try to decrease my Omeprozal as he said I am on a very high dose some days Im fine to not take so many but the last 2 days I have ate very little due to my burning heart my stomach has been in knots an just have very much wanted to throw up; :( Im ready to throw in the towel im feeling very frustrated at this point

      Don't throw in the towel yet, you have come WAY too far to try and turn around now. I see you have lost 56 pounds, that is a great feat, and I know that you're body is feeling better and deep down it feels absolutely AMAZING to fit in clothes that you never thought that you would be able to fit in again! I would go and talk to you're surgeon and ask him if he can reduce the dose of the omeprazole. Tell him how you are feeling and what your PCP said to you and the two of them can come to and educated decision as to the dose that you should maintain. This is a easy fix so please don't go back now! We both have more pounds to loose and quite more life to live at a much reduced weight! :)

      Nope, you need the meds. You aren't even 2 months out, and you'll likely need it for 6 months. (Hopefully you'll be able to decrease or cut it out after that point). Just go back on your med until you can find out if there would be benefit to taking less PPI and adding an H2 blocker. (or something like that).

  4. :51_scream: TODAY I HIT 50lbs lost :) I am super happy and excited to be at my 50lb loss at  6 weeks out  !!!!!

      Yay! Congrats to you, I hope you're doing something to celebrate this huge milestone. I had my hiatal hernia repaired during my surgery, so not having to take any GERD/Acid Reflux Rx's since surgery is wonderful. I do take 1 Acidphex Rx daily, though, since we have to ensure we don't get ulcers post-op. I'm so proud of you, just think where you'll be on your birthday, girl!

  7. I have been on this stall for just at a week today.... Trying to keep positive but I think I am going threw a little buyers remorse WTH did I do to my body?? I mean I am focusing on trying to keep positive some days are deff harder then others.... Today is hard :(

      I'm sorry. I'm in a stall too. it's frustrating. I decided to take my body measurements. It made me feel better to see that has changed! (14" overall). I'm hoping we both get out of this stall ASAP!

  8. 3 days and I will be a full month POST OP, I am down 43lbs and on my stahl currently.. Still having a hard time with my protein but Im pushing myself to make sure I can get enough in for the day.. I have been learning what it is like to NOT eat due to my feelings (its been hard) but Im learning that not every feeling means I have a excuse to shovel fat in my face :) currently I have started expressing myself threw my pen and paper... I no that its a much healthier way of dealing with the stress that is in my life. I HOWEVER am ready to start regular foods, I like to freeze my shakes into ice cream and eat it with a spoon but I would give anything to just have some regular High protein foods, a couple more weeks and then that will be something I will be ready for, this week I start some strength training me and the gym will get a long well :) this journey is crazy but I am making it <3

      Hi - be careful with the strength training... I was reminded by my body and my nurse that I have had major surgery and cannot join the gym for 5 months! I had lifted just a couple of light boxes and ended up in great pain. You need time to heal - just walk, walk and walk. I was told NO resistance training, none, no weights etc. I have made the mistake of moving boxes more than once and paid dearly each time. So check with your doctor/nurse before starting any exercises. I struggle with protein too but it has gotten better now that I am 7 weeks out - eating chicken & protein bars very slowly with many chews.

    2. IdontWant2beAfatty

      IdontWant2beAfatty

      Thank you <3 I have to not do major strength training until a full 6 weeks out so I have a couple more weeks, I do walk every single day and do stairs and other things to keep me motivated :)

  9. Going on day 3 of feeling awful, I cant keep my protein down, I can get very minimal water down at this poing everything makes me want to throw up... I have No will to eat or even drink at this point... my energy is super low I do good until about 330 and then I want to crash out... Thinking Im low on fluids so I may be making a trip to the Emergency room :(

      Ice helps! I had trouble with water at first and crystal light went down easier (Weird I know but it worked) I was so swollen at first I had a similar time but it does get better. I promise! Thinking of you and hope it gets better soon.

      Sugarfree popsicles saved me when I couldn't drink

  10. Currently 12 days post-op.... Someday's are better then others some days my emotions are crazy other days Im overly happy... I miss food mostly tacos weird but I thats my current craving that Im considering throwing in my blender... LOL however I am learning to eat again, I am still on mushy food yesterday I enjoyed tomato soup... my body handled it fairly well I however can not tolerate Jello since the day of surgery my body has not wanted it every time I try it I get ill... So I just don't attempt it any longer.... I went and seen my Doctor on Wednesday and that went well I am down 15lbs since my operation so thats over a pound a day... I think this journey isnt going to be easy however i believe it will be worth it... She gave me a long talk about a stall I will hit from week 3-5 explaining this is normal to not freak out to much it will not last but may last the full 2 weeks I have vowed to not weigh myself but when I am at the doctors office and to only take measurments once a month so that I dont become overly obsessed with the changes in my body I just want to focus on feeling better and that alone will make me happy :)

      Tacos in the blender, lololol I love tacos, too.

  11. 3 More days and I will be sleeved, I am nervous and my general thought is everyone is at this point, I am a big baby when it comes to pain and I a positive from everything I have read that the first few days are not pleasant... Everyone has their own journey and I am hopeful that this is the start of mine, I was just as concerned for my pre-op diet but I have been just fine.... Im sure this is not going to be easy but I am sure it is well worth it for the future of of myself and my children then deserve a happy healthy mommy and I deserve a happy health life <3
