Definitely bring it up to your doctor! 3 weeks is a long time to still be in that much pain!

Keep up the great work!

You have been dumping this whole time! Every time you have to lay down after you eat it is because you are dumping.
Have you tried eating high Protein, veggies & fruit (natural sugar)?
I would stick with a Bariatric Eating protocol instead of filling your body with sugar & crap.

I agree with it being dehydration.
I say forget trying to push through it & go to an ER to get some fluids!
It could have been nausea from the anesthetic that cause may have lasted 5-8 days & now your body is dehydrated & can’t catch up without an iv.
Dehydration is a huge thing to watch out for! My daughter has to really make sure she drinks enough liquid each day! She got dehydrated 5 months after her surgery & passed out at work! Scared the crap out of her coworkers. She also passed out in a convenience store once because she was dehydrated!

I made a roast in the crockpot for my family. I took a little bit a roast a little bit of potatoes and a little bit of carrots and blended it all up and it was pretty darn good!
Cream Soups are OK you can just pick out the two pieces of chicken or the three mushrooms that are in the can😹🤦‍♀️
There’s always mashed potatoes😋 with gravy!
I got unflavored Protein Powder and added it to a lot of things.

I’m 4 years out. At home I still weigh my food. At dinner I eat around 1-1.5oz veggies & the rest is Protein. The whole meal is 3 -3.5 oz. If I eat more then that I get too full & I’m uncomfortable for a while. When we eat out I eat a little less then 1/2 of the meal, my husband & I usually share an entry. If I’m eating out with a friend I ask if I can order something on the kid’s menu.
At about 1.5 years out I started eating over 4 oz & I put back on 30 pounds! I used The Fast Metabolism Diet & I did great & I actually got to my goal weight!

Just know that letting sugar back into your life is a slippery slope. Wish I never would have done it.

Are you still in the purée stage? It is hard. I
added unflavored Protein Powder to Soups or mashed potatoes. If I made a roast with veggies for the family I would blend up a little bit of all of it with some of the juice essentially making my own baby food, but it was good! I also ate a lot of soft scrambled eggs or even soft boiled eggs or made egg salad from hard boiled eggs.

Wow, I guess because my RNY was to fix GERD my Surgon told me to take a PPI for the rest of my life. I was on pantoprazole for 4 years now I’m on omeprazole.

Try just a couple of sips of Coke. It’s what I had to do when I had that sensation before my RNY.
And call your surgeon!

I have chronic pain & will for the rest of my life. I use a lot of Lidocane Patches & BioFreeze but I’m not sure how those would work on your crack.
I have taken ibuprofen occasionally when I’m in a lot of pain (maybe 4 times in the last 4.5 years). I know I shouldn’t but when the Lidocane, BioFreeze, tens unit, heat, ice, Norco & Metaxalone aren’t working I need some relief somehow!

How exciting! It is so nice to have more choices in what with wear now!

Congratulations on your weight loss! I had my bypass in May and I'm down 45 pounds from when I had the surgery. I just dug out a bunch of shorts in smaller sizes that I haven't fit into in years and was so excited that they fit.
My own personal NSV was being able to get into a kayak without plopping down like Pooh Bear, ha, ha.

Yesterday marked 5 months post op for me!
Down 93 lbs in those 5 months and 130 since I started my WLS process.
My favorite NSV is buying shirts anywhere; concerts, festivals, souvenir shops. ETC. Shirts, more my personality rather than the plain ones I bought because they fit.
I don't measure myself too much. I did the night before surgery and have 1 other time I think 2 months ago. I carry most of my weight in my stomach so the only number that really changed was my waist measurement. I will again, but it is not a big deal to me because I can see a drastic change (most days) some days I do still the extra chunky me but most days I easily see the new and improved me.
I am so grateful that this has been so smooth, really haven't had any issues at all.

I hope everyone is doing well, KEEP CHUGGIN! ❤️

I have been using a patch Vitamin for the last 4 years (after RNY) I take enough supplements & I didn’t wanna swallow another pill & chewables make me nauseous because of the artificial sweeteners.
I haven’t had any of my labs for Vitamins & minerals come back crazy when I have done them each year since surgery.

Major life changing surgery was 5 days ago! Don’t be so hard on yourself! Your body needs to adjust. Right now it is saying “WTF?” It might take a few weeks. Once you can start eating more solid food it should get easier.

I am 4 years post op & I have been plagued by nausea almost all day long. I wake up nauseous! This has been going on since at least February.
I currently take 3-4 8mg of Zofran a day & meclezine too. I keep my food intake to less then 4 oz at a time so I’m not over stuffing myself.
I am seeing a gastroenterologist & a naturopath & a urologist (I have asymptomatic Ecoli - I have it actively in my urine but have NO symptoms!)

I’m wondering if this could be from the bypass.
Anyone else dealt with any of this before?
I’m just tired of feeling so crummy most of the time. We are going on our 1st 7 day cruise in Sept & I don’t want to deal with this then!

The 1st couple of weeks can be really hard. Your body just went through a great big shock! It will be easier I promise!
Between prescriptions & supplements I take an lot of pills. I use the PatchMD Vitamins. They might cost a little but for me not having to swallow one more big pill pie worth or & my labs have always been great.
I take a multil, B12 & a D. I think it’s the bypass set.
Things will get better I promise!
