On the loosers bench, never knew a burp could feel so good. No real belly pain. Chest tightness and a massive headache

Anyone taking the gas-x strips... Do you start by taking the recommended 2 strips? Or are you taking 1strip?

I am taking them. I start with 1 and if I don't feel a change in 10 minutes, I get another

Haven't posted in several days. Been having a rought time. RNY 3/11/13. Lots of nausea. Trouble gagging down any Protein. Have not been able to get down any of my crushed meds. Pain is significant, although the liquid codeine helps. And the best part, liquid diarrhea. Copious amounts. They were going to readmit me but my sig other-22 years in the Army--said he could get the requisite liwuid into me. And he has, using his Army voice. So enough Water but not nearly enough nutrution. I really hope my bowels figure out what they are supposed to be doing soon, cause the constant diarrhea is a nightmare.

Gibby, I am so sorry you're having a rough time. I'm just on Clear liquids right now. I've not started any Protein yet. They gave me IV bag of Vitamins in the hospital. I have had quite a bit of diarrhea though. Keep taking little sips of fluids, but don't get dehydrated...if you are maybe being in the hospital getting some IV nutrition would make you feel better. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way. Hang in there :(

Post op, surgery was the 13th. Until today I felt like poop! Today is great. Went shopping a little and got a pedicure. I waited til after surgery for that because I couldn't have polish on during surgery. Tonight I am going out to eat with my family, rather going out to watch. My daughter is here with me from out of town and she has to get to go to her favorite restaurant while she is here. I am still on liquid diet for 4 weeks. Everyday really does get better!

On my way home from the hospital now. My daughter went and made sure I have Jello and pudding with Protein and banana ice cubes for my smoothies. So I am set for the night.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
