I was wearing a fake wedding ring set because mine didn't fit. Now 3 months post op, my original set fits and is starting to spin on my finger.

Feeling comfortable in the folding sports chairs I use at my daughter's softball games. I am no loner hanging out the sides.

I'm feeling good. I appear to be a slow loser so I am disappointed in my progress but I am just getting into the swing of getting enough protein so I am hoping it will start picking up soon. I still have not mastered eating slowly. But I've got the fluids thing down pat. And I just got a delivery of Gatorade Zero with protein today so I am hoping that will be a tasty addition to my daily intake.

Dr. Schmidt in NJ.

OH! No, he did have me take one for the 2 weeks I was on the antibiotics but none prior to that and none after.

What is a PPI?

My surgery was 8 weeks ago today.

Daily but I really should stop because it is aggravating when the scale isn't moving.

My surgeon did not do an EGD prior to surgery. I was also diagnosed with H-pylori when they biopsied my stomach tissue and had to do a 2 week run of antibiotics at 4 weeks PO. The antibiotics gave me reflux but once that was done I have not had any at all.

Have you tried protein water? I prefer the protein20 but there is also premier protein water but I found that terribly sweet.

My first attempt at chicken breast was awful. Last night I had a baked chicken thigh and it was sooooo much better. The thighs are dark meat (but not too dark) so they retain a lot more moisture. I couldn't even eat a whole thigh but it was good. I had it with a side of creamed spinach and the multiple flavors made it that much more enjoyable.

You can do it. I quit 25 years ago and it was probably one of the best things I ever did for myself. I did it cold turkey and so can you!

I am applying lotion all the time. It is awful. The worst is my back where i can't reach to put lotion. It itches something terrible.

I haven't had cooked salmon yet but I have had smoked salmon and raw salmon. Neither made me sick but they did give me a ton of gas.

I had sashimi (which is just a slab of raw fish) on Monday at 4 weeks PO. It was wonderful! I hear you can get sushi wrapped in cucumber instead of rice.
