Have you noticed what foods trigger it, the 3 main triggers are coffee (caffeine), Chocolate, and Carbonated drinks. other people find food like orange juice, tomatoes etc. I find the first 3 I listed are triggers for me especially if I have all 3 on the same day . Mine is controlled with 20mg Nexium daily.

I dont think its time for that just yet, it can be sorted by finding what foods are triggering it and avoiding them, something as simple as renny's, tums or the equivalent could also settle it down. If that doesn't work meds like a daily Nexium.

it gets better it really does you will be fine, each day will get better and better, good days will start to out weigh the bad days. in 6 months time you wont remember feeling this bad

2 days ? is that really considered a stall? now I am guilty of this too but really you should only be weighing once a week then you wouldn't see these "stalls". Personally I don't class anything less than 4 weeks a stall but that's just me.

I wondered why I had seen any posts from you for awhile, sorry to hear you had a rough time. I hope you are on a speedy road to recovery

yes it could be, pre-op that was how gerd presented itself for me , commonly know as LPR this one doesn't have chest pain

So I am guessing your main concern is the slowing down of your weight loss? At this point I am going to say its very normal for weight loss to slow down at the 6 month mark ( depending on your start weight of course) so dont worry about that. You do however need to sort your nutrition and gastric problem out. Sort that out then once you are all good there then concentrate on loosing more weight if you need too.

Wow 55kg that's awesome !!!! Just be mindful of how much you eat like yes have a piece chocolates but not the whole block. I am having to stop myself from eat a packet of chips tonight been out all day didn't eat or drink much now I am starving . Eating slider food while waiting for dinner to cook another bad habit I need to break, picking while cooking

I am at the 10 month mark too, I haven't lost anything for 3 months. I find myself being able to eat " normal" serving sizes. Sometimes it's a bit less sometimes a bit more. But I must admit snacking has crept back in and it's something I really need to get control of.

Probably around the 4 month mark but everyone is different it maybe sooner for you or as long as the 6 month mark but it does get better ?

Yes the super nose I forgot about that bit ?

It's normal and it should pass, I hated the smell of cooking meat straight after surgery and a few other things but I happily cook meat now with no problems. It all settles down and gets better with time.

I have a lululemon jacket that I bought for a trip to nz 13 years ago and it was too tight. I always told myself I would fit it one day and now I do in fact it's loose these days but I still can't wear it cause it's to hot where I live so a trip to somewhere cold where I can wear it along with some beautiful boots would be a great reward for me .

It gets better and you will eat again ?. Don't compare your experiences to the experiences of others,some have had it easy some have had a hard time but it's all pretty standard. Took me ages to be able to eat with out discomfort I stayed with foods I knew I could eat without issue longer than the phases actually were and that's OK go at your own pace listen to your body.

I gave up my multivitamins once I started eating normally all my bloods come back fine and I feel much better for it.

I was going to suggest the same I find on the days I don't drink much I can eat all day and feel very hungry but the days I drink plenty I feel full faster and it lasts longer

That is neat. I wish I could have accessed that information

Write a list of all your questions to take to your appointment

Mine too and I only managed 4 months without it. I do have 1 every couple of days now.

I drink carbonated drinks no problem now. 9 months post op.

I know right and I am allergic to bananas and mangoes. They are in everything these days

My thoughts exactly

Call your surgeon or go to the ER

Same, it's to prevent bacteria entering the wound site
