How about B12 Patches, or they have B12 spray for your mouth. they have Water that says liquid IV. Got on this site. Helped me .anti nausea pills do not work?

Hang Tough gabybab, I know you can do it! There will be answers soon, may they be ones you can work with!
My own is getting extra polka dots, this is like the intro to Tale of Two cities " It was the best of times; it was the worst of times"
Bad things first, I had pneumonia last month , spent 26 hours in the hospital,had an MRI to check size of thoracic aneurysm, luckily it is remaining stable, b.p.is low-ish , good less stress means not close to rupture, but they discovered I have a renal cyst, pulled my PICC line because 1, it might have been a foci for my pneumonia but it wasn't, totally cultured clear 2. I guess they thought 3 months was long enough- so back to p.o. foods totally, had Fluid build-up on right shoulder joint, that's the one with the plate and 12 screws from fracture repair of humerus in 2010, ortho wants to pull it out, be only ambulatory/outpatient, perhaps next month? Depends on whether more fluid buildup at next appointment. And now I have to have Reclast IV to address my osteopenia before it turns into full blown osteoporosis, I am having so double vision so carotid arteries need scanned , last week my neck got super- stiff, cat scan showed my neck vertebra are pretty degenerated by arthritis, but it also showed an almost 2 cm. thyroid nodule on the left side, PCP kinda poo- pooed it at first until he pulled up last visit to Urgent Care, said "Well I'll correct myself, you DO need a thyroid workup after all, because your voice has turned husky, pressure on laryngeal nerve? Told PCP I am. getting tired of every test having a little extra findings, feel like I am becoming a Treasure Trove for Modern Medicine! And specialists will be circling me like a pack of hyenas, each one getting a little nip in on my poor carcass!👈😴👉

I went to the ER, because I developed a 101.8 fever. My bp was over 200 and my bs was high 200's. The diahreah caused low potassium and they said was causing my bs to be so high.
I had an infusion and a bag of saline. I'm home and still feel weak, but hopefully soon I will get over this bump in the road.

You can really see it in your face. You look AMAZING! I had a rough go of it too!

I can't believe I'm already a month out from my VSG. I saw my surgeon yesterday and I'm down 33 lbs all together (23 from surgery day)
I was so discouraged that I wasn't losing fast enough but I was told I was doing beautifully !

So tired. Went to the Dr this morning bacause I'm not feeling any energy, in fact it's worse. 17 days post-op. Have had to start metformin & glimeperide again. Forgot to tell the Dr I've had diarrhea since yesterday, so waiting on Dr to call back and see if they want to add more blood work. I'm wondering if I'm dehydrated? I'm lucky to get 45 ounces in. Can't stomach whey Protein. Took one sip and started to gag. I may have to go to the hospital at this point. Any ideas?

I'm 2 weeks post-op today and am already scared. The first week after I thought I would never eat, now I feel opposite, I can eat 1/2 cup of food and I'm afraid I will revert to my old habits. I'm going to my first support meeting tomorrow. Best wishes!

When I'm busy at home or out running about, I've discovered that I'm too busy to take a 20 to 30 min break to eat. I was very excited to start my week 3 foods today and ended up having a Protein Shake for lunch because it was too hard and would take too long to eat food. I had a mozerella cheese today and it took me over 45 minutes to finish it. Maybe I'm just being over cautious. I really don't feel hungry and don't care about eating. I just get a weak feeling when I haven't eaten in a long time.

Ice cream. I don't care for a lot of sf products, but they have a lot of great ones and cold stone has their sinless and is really good! Good luck with your surgery!

Been just over 9 months since surgery and I promised I would post an update when I had my surgery
I've lost 27.8 kg so far and how do I feel? best way to describe it is i feel alive!
Thanks again to the team!

Still on Clear Liquids. I can start full liquids tomorrow.

I just ordered a food scale to help prevent over eating. My eyes are way bigger than my stomach. I felt so bad because I ate a bit to much. I am learning that when I start to burp a little that I should probably stop. Recidivist you should try ricotta bake. Its yummy. This last week I dropped 4.5 pounds. I think I will continue do Protein Drink each day.

As you lose weight,you probably will be able to get off meds. My sugar also ran high. I did take liquid Tylenol and that had sugar. Also my chewable Vitamin had fructose and that seemed to raise my blood sugar. Give it a bit,bet it will come down.

14 hours until check in and 16 hours until my surgery.

I'm 12 days on and weighed the same the 9-11 day. I've lost a lot quickly and I think your body has to catch up. I'm not eating a whole lot, so it has to come offveventally. Don't be discouraged, you're going to start losing again!

The pain was a large cramping and would subside and come again. Happened about 15 minutes and was very painful!
I've at small amounts of honey. I'm going to look into stevia. I'm not fond of it, but it is better than the others.
I definitely will be ultra careful eating from now on.

I definitely am still healing, as I'm only a week out. Maybe too much too fast?
Best wishes on your upcoming surgery!

Before I start I would ask that you please be kind or don't comment. I'm very emotional this last week.
I had surgery 1 week ago today. I was all excited I get to go to full liquids today. I had half a YQ yogurt today and was fine. I ate baby bites. I had 1 cup mushroom Soup strained. For some reason soup I can get to go down without pain and relatively quick.
I'm allowed to have cream of wheat and put a tiny amount of brown sugar (I do not use ss) and fair life milk. It seems clumpy and thick but I tried to stir and rolled it around my mouth. I had to stop. I felt extremely full. Not sure if I are to fast or what, but I though I was going to die for 15 minutes. Terrible stomach cramps, which pretty much just subsided.

I'm scared to death and never, ever want that to happen again. Do you know what happened?

Thank you for your help!

the support groups are a really key in this journey. I am not a 'people person' lol so I avoided them in the beginning. I have been twice now and OH MY I love it. my doc kept after me until I showed up.

I’ve been a bit stalled lately, been stuck in the low 140s for about a month! According to my NUT my goal weight should be just under 120 lbs, so I’m a bit frustrated with the stall. Any tips to overcome a stall? I’ve decided to go back to basics this week - I’m doing liquids for the week and making sure I get all my Protein, so hopefully that will get things moving again.

BIG win for me last week. I was cleaning my storage unit and found 2 large suitcases filled with clothes that were too small for me a few years ago. I couldn’t bear to throw them out, and completely forgot about them. Finding them was so awesome! It’s literally saved me hundreds of dollars in shopping for clothes at my new size! Currently chilling in a pair of pants I haven’t fit into since high school, and it’s the greatest feeling!
