congratulations...you will do fine, the baby will take what it needs from you so dont worry about that, but you will need to get your nutrition without going overboard,, Im sure your doctors will have a plan for you...good luck and God Bless!

How are you Kinsee? I hope you are well and on your way home...

I think you need to cal your surgeon....you cant keep going without fluids!

Hi music...im feeling better, dont know what happened those couple days, but last time I ate chicken, all was good....seeing the doc today..so will report back later..thanks for asking....

egg whites gross me out, do you really not taste them at all..?

So, I have had reactive hypoglycemic since I was a teenager..absent of diabeties...so when we are talking about "late dumping", is that what we are talking about, and if so, why do they call it dumping?

*hugs*.....get well soon.....

I am seeing my doctor tomorrow, I will ask him what he thinks too..thanks for letting me know....good luck..

I pretty much lived on hummus and cottage cheese at that stage....

I think they want you to lose 5-10% of your body wt...to see if you can adhere to the diet after surgery....

one day i can eat something and the next day I cant!! so frustrating!

good luck...let me know, cuz i do get that pain too...thought maybe i ate too much when it happens, but really not sure??

I am a sleeve to bypass on aug 1st 2013

yes, i get it alot, not sure what it is either....?

I've been told by many to up my calories so your body comes out of starvation mode...so I've gotten the calories up by doing small meals and snacks..doing about 1000 a day

thanks, hope I dont get one. but doesnt sound as horrible as I thought it would be...

Yes, talk to him,,I just switched from 10 mg reg to ambien CR....I hope you get some relief..It is horrible when you cant sleep and cant eat either..I know its been rough for me...:/

ambien has a short half life ...only 2-3 hrs..so it is good at putting you to sleep, but not keeping you asleep...thats why they came out with the CR...maybe talk to your doctor, and dont take them with food, it slows the absorbtion..

I didnt copy the whole thing they also said you dont absorb other medications as well...so you cant count on anything being absorbed!

I just had her switch me to extended release, havent started them yet...I have leftover lunesta and now they are working again...omg..I never had this problem before...

I'm 5 weeks out, and one of my favorite meals is watermelon with cheese an crackers,, I think I could live on it the rest of my life lol

SO, HERE WE Have itReduced Medication Effectiveness The shorter intestinal length after gastric bypass or duodenal switch surgery can make extended-release drug preparations less effective. Some extended-release drugs include antidepressants (Wellbutrin XL), anxiolytics and sleep medications (Xanax XR), and anti-hypertensives (Toprol XL, Verapamil XL). Because these formulations are intended to be absorbed over 2-12 hours, the pills may pass through the gastrointestinal tract before absorption is complete. This same principle also applies to delayed-release and enteric- or film-coated pills, which are coated with a material that prevents the medication from being released until the pill moves through the stomach to the small intestine. (Sometimes the abbreviation “EC” is added to the name of a drug to indicate that it is enteric-coated.) Immediate-release dosage forms should be substituted, although they may need to be taken more

wow, sleeve to bypass in 1 month, and you sound so upbeat...congrats and good luck...keep us updated...I am sleeve to bypass, but 2 yrs apart..LOL

Music..If I get aggressive in bed, the only one with hurt feelings will be my pillow LOL................

thanks Hottmale...I will mention it to my doc...
