Second thoughts
Keep up with fluids, you get rid of the endproducts from weight loss by washing them away. And maybe this is your own body#s way of doing things. Keep on keeping on, the victory is yours just out of sight!

What is the Norm?
I think he may a brother-in-law of Average Joe. I believe they may be in the same family. And I agree, Norm has a lot of P.R. but no substance.

Sleeve vs bypass
Bypass, I'm your height, started at 355, at least that's when my wake-call came, might have even gotten a shosh higher, that was a year ago. 335 in April-May when after I escaped an asshat surgeon, went to Ohio State University where I was treated with respect, kindness and they were not afraid of my age-72, 330 when I got my date of September 5th, that was July, did liver shrinking diet the month of August, Surgery morning at319, bypass surgery was success, at 6 weeks I am down to 293 (this Am) , I have a natural sluggish BMR, plain diets didn't help me , and I have tried everyone out there and some few have heard up to and including strucured starvation. The b6pass for me is a wonderful tool. Hope to use it clear down to my dream of 175 if I can. And I am losing fat in the dangers places, neck, forearms, but the belly that no before diet touched, its actually not as blubberific, my rump, well I am losing my fat pad there, hurts to sit too long on hard chairs, but guess what? I have renewed energy, I don't want to sit down as much! Oh I had and still a few blips on my road, but still I have more hopes at 293 than I did over 350, and I would not change or regret the surgery I have gone through.

Nausea after surgery...what is your experience?
hi again. Thought I was doing better, strained veggie soup, creamed st rained soups, half and protein shakes, early afternoon here, had sensation I was interpeting as hunger, made thin maltomeal cereal with a little low-fat 1% milk stirred in A,mistake, 2t notice not T but t, and and I'm upchucking again. 6 weeks 1 day out and this set in at least a month, maybe 5 weeks ago. I'm crying?how could something so beautiful be gone so sour? A week from tomorrow Dr Noria is scheduled to a repeat EGJ, can I limp along to then? Should I at least check in with a nurse Practioner in Columbus? My,local community hospital, I guess if I got dehyrated enough they know to hang a bag of fluid, but they don't know much about Bariatrics and rny bypass, it would be like a peacock parachutin into a flock of chickens "What. do WE do with YOU?". I guess I was foolish to think Precious Pouch could handle such a foodstuff, but my Surgery Twin sleevers and bypassers, they are starting on soft,food by now. I'm a nice person, should I be punished?

What is the Norm?
And you're making your own kind of music , marching on your own trail toward your goal weight. I could tell you how much I have lost since my surgery on September 5th, and you might sniff a little, say that's not fair! But if you see any of my other posting where I say the amount, keep in mind. I am not uncomplicated a path, I am losing so much because I have a stoma stricture, no purees or solids get through, once that gets fixed my precipitous weight descent will level out and I'll be more realistic. Don't woryy, that's your surgeon and bariatric teams problem, let them guide you, they know your case better than we do. We will cheer with you when you reach your goals, promise!?
