It's similar to a gastric bypass but less invasive and reversible. Sleeve wasn't an option for me because of my acid reflux

I had mini gastric bypass 4/14.

thank you! I knew you would understand being your Hashimoto's struggle. I literally can't "stomach" the taste of water additives. I'm not a picky person at all so its super frustrating when everything makes you gag. I can get about 2 sips of a protein shake and less of protein water but this too shall pass so just doing the best I can and drinking water with lemon with SO MUCH ice lol its literally the only thing I can drink, and it has to be that way. I'm really trying to drink more than my current 2 - 3 glasses a day - it's an all-day struggle. I may get another myers IV bag next week but really hoping to no have too as its not cheap.

Hi Rachel and Jen!! My mini gastric bypass was 4/14. I have lost less than you both. I have not been able to get anywhere near my protein and water intake, I have a HUGE aversion to protein since week 6. I did my surgery in Mexico so I don't have any local support at this point but my surgeon advises he thinks I'm very dehydrated causing my inability to handle eating. I went and got a Myers IV bag last week and i feel like it has helped a bit, My starting weight was 242 and hit onederland Monday!!! I only weigh once a week and was at 199.8 this past Monday. You both are doing so amazing!!! I have fibromyalgia and this has helped with my brain fog and exhaustion for sure. I am not working out yet at direction from my surgeon until my fluids and protein are under control. I still get very light headed and dizzy everyday.

I do! It will let update my b day and address and occupation but won't let me do surgery info. I sent an email to the app cust service, hopefully they can figure it out. Just so much easier when your info is in there when your chatting. Thanks so much for taking the time to help me. Maybe I need

Thank you. I have no idea if I have a glitch on my end because I literally uninstalled it and re-downloaded and it still doesn't give me an option. Oh well, I really appreciate your help. Sent from my SM-G986U using BariatricPal mobile app

Love, how do I update my surgery info on my profile? Am I not seeing the option cause I need to be on an actual computer?

Good for you, that's awesome!!! I only had a 4 day preop diet and let me tell you it's been hell. I think that helps you alot with the mental part of food. Keep us posted!!!

1st off I hope this gets easier for you soon. I'm 9 weeks post op and haven't been able to tolerate food in weeks. Protein is my biggest Aversion. Can't eat it or drink my shakes. I've never been able to Meer my protein goals. My surgeon and dietitian think it is the hormones being wacky from severe dehydration. They put me back on clear liquids for a few days but I'm still not able to reach my fluid goals. Everything is upsetting my stomach (yes, even water). I went and got a myers bag IV (banana bag) 2 days ago but no relief yet.

That's amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing, I didn't even know that was a thing!

Thank you, I really appreciate you responding.
