Yeah I take omiprezal once a day but it was not working. I called my nurse and she told me to try pepcid and zantac. By them self it didn't work but I put them together just a lil but ago and I feel so much better. Thank you.

I am 18 days post op and I feel great. My love affair with food is definitely dying. I mostly eat now because I have to, I don't really plan my meals because there is so little that I can actually eat. It is a little depressing to be honest.

I. Agree MO. I'm on 'full liquid' for 2 more weeks. Very boring and most times I have my meal just because it's what I'm supposed to do. I feel a little nauseous every once in a while but I can't seem to figure out the trigger. I have not gotten sick, just get the occasional moment when I feel like I could.

Im 8 days out & decided to be nice to hubby & cook wrong move. I ate a few finger scoops of mash potatoes with corn stuck to it. It went down well, but i had to put the left overs in the ice box fast because i kept coming back.

Well because I can eat such small amounts, I am all confused on what to eat. It took me from lunch to dinner to eat a Wendy's grilled chicken wrap. I didn't chew well on my last bite and ended up throwing up in my kitchen sink. That was so traumatic for me....I don't care to eat solids anymore..went back to liquids and yogurt. I am wondering when I will be able to eat solid foods comfortably.

don't be discouraged. My instructions says if you have problems with a food in a step go back to the previous step for one week. Perhaps your not ready for dense Protein like meat? Wait a week them try again, each of our stomachs are in different stages of swelling. Our insides are not healed yet. We will all get through this :)

I truly believe if we follow our food stages & walk/exercise, the weight WILL come off, have faith!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
