My surgeon said to go ahead and stop taking the pecid yesterday. I was only taking 1 pill at night. Anyway, I didn't take one last night and my stomach feels really weird...I sort of feel sick to my stomach. How did you feel once you stopped pepcid (or something like it)? Just wondering :)...thanks for your help.

have you been taking it every day since your surgery? I was getting it in my IV in the hospital, but I wasn't told to take it at home. When I felt I needed it, I took it, and I did feel more settled in my stomach, but in general I've sorta had an icky feeling. Maybe I should be taking it more regularly. Hmmm..... Yesterday when I saw my doc, I asked if it was okay to take pepcid or tums if I had an icky feeling stomach, and he said yes. But he said if I start having acid reflux symptoms that are more severe I have to tell him, because some people need to go on a regular prescription. (I guess like nexium or something similar) Hmmm... Good luck. Maybe give it a few days before you call him?

Yes I've been taking them since the day of my surgery. At my post op he said to stop taking them at 6 weeks. I wonder why I just can't keep taking them if they make me feel better...I will be seen again on the 21st. But if my tummy still has this yucky feeling I may start them up again.

Thanks!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
