  1. I myself am out 6 weeks and what tastes good to me right now is deli sliced turkey breast and muenster cheese sliced really thin. i do roll ups and that fills me up. I tried sliced chicken but it sits really heavy. I have gotten to were if i have a craving for something i try it and see how it goes i dont always have success but i at least try.

    Hey One! :) I too have heartburn on a regular basis -- I asked my dr. if I could double my dosage of nexium and he said fine. The double dosage seems to work for me. He explained that the body doesn't realize that your tummy is 1/8 of its original size so it keeps producing acid for a much bigger tummy.

    About the food, I'm almost 5 weeks out and have no real desire for food except when I haven't eaten for hours -- and some food is really gross to me (like bread) -- so I just don't eat it. I'm eating what I can tolerate right now. I'm loving fish, chicken - hate beef right now. I can eat broccoli and green Beans fine. Rice, Pasta, potatoes are gross. I LOVE Water. And I love chamomile tea. That's about it. My nutritionist said that my appetite should reappear sometime, but I'm not in a hurry. I think I've accepted the fact that this is my new life and I'm not really upset about it.

    I guess if I were in your shoes, I would eat those things that didn't make me gag -- maybe somethings from the liquid phase? And then slowly introduce the solid food?? I'm all for not doing things the hard way, and if certain foods make you gag, don't eat them!

    I hope this helps!


  2. I dont dry heave but i usually throw up every time I eat. I am five weeks out also,And am still trying to find that fine line of when to stop eating. I dont get a full feeling I get a pressure feeling like somthing is stuck. the more I wait and try to swallow the worse it gets. I ususally throw up spit more than anything. I just have to keep working and figuring out what my amount is

  4. My husband took it upon himself to get me a wedge so that I could sleep sitting up if i need to... He just had gallbladder surgery about a month ago and he hated trying to lay down, so he said he didnt want me to feel that pain.....I have already had a c-section and a hysterctomy all without the above mentioned wedge. Its funny how serious they take our pain when they actually get a glimpse of it. I do love the fact that he doesnt want me to hurt.....He loves me so!


  5. WOW 23lbs sounds great to me...I cant wait. I have lost 3 so far in one week just playing around witht the protien drink thing. I actually havent been hungry at all with the drinks until around 6 at night,then i feel like i have to eat, so i do! I have a high protien supper and stop when i get full. I know I have a lot to go, but I fell like I have gotten some positive feedback from my body about this. Im ready to get control of it instead of it controling me. exactly 2 weeks from today it will be mine,


  6. great post, I enjoy reading what everyone has to say. I love the fact that through all your trials that you have stayed your course, and learned new things about yourself and how to deal with challenges. It goes to show that this surgry will not only change our body but our mind if we let it.
