The nurse called me back this morning. I have to go in next Thursday and have a scope out down my throat. She said they may have to dilate the opening a bit. I should not be having reflux. :-(

@amylynns. Well now you have an answer & a way to resolve it. By the holiday you'll feel so much better!

I tried to get them to give me something for nausea and it was like pulling teeth. I still don't have anything, and I feel nauseous quite a bit. :(

Do you take any acid reducing meds? I take omeprizol and then when I was so nauseated they added prescription pepcid. It helped ALOT! I have gotten nauseated if I eat something too quickly.

I see your ticker. :-) It's keeping track of your BMI.

If you want to update it, go up to the top right hand side of the screen and click on where it says, "Hello Sherrib4health" and then it will say,"update clicker." Then you have to click through some screens to get to where you update it.

Hopefully that helps?

Lol, men never seem to have issues! Yes, I take omeprazole once a day, but no pepcid yet. Maybe that would help. Even before surgery I got nauseous alot. My tummy could never really "handle" meds...a few weeks before surgery, I was taking Iron supplements because I am anemic. I was doing the Protein shakes and so that's all I had that morning. 10 min after my bf started driving, I threw up...I have to get the iv Iron now. In the hospital they had to give me tramadol for pain, hydros make me sick. I want more of the anti nausea Patches they put on me before lol. Idk....just blah lol. I just had a no sugar added Italian ice, mmmm it made me feel much better!

I had a 5 day stall and it was devastating but the scale is moving again but not as fast. I started eating and drinking a little more and that may have helped

So, those of you that are on or have already been on the puréed stage, do you have any yummy puréed suggestions? My nutritionist said everything has to be puréed except for 3 things. Scrambled eggs with a little low fat cheese, cottage cheese, and a little Peanut Butter on a spoon. I start this stage on Friday and I am so excited for some more variety! Did anyone use the pre-made baby food like Gerber?

grits were wonderful

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
