I think I had my first dumping syndrome experience and it really sucked! I took 1/2 of the opurity Multivitamin and I think that is what set it off. I was puking and diarrhea with sweats and going between the toilet and the sink for about 5 hours. I was doing great until this episode. It has cut back to only occasional diarrhea now, but I am still feeling tender. Not cool at all. :(

I'm sorry to hear of your dumping syndrome I kept getting really bad hiccups yesterday. My stomach is so sore. I thought I was tougher than this. I just keep telling myself it'll all be worth it in the end.

I have a pretty high tolerance for pain and I am not one to really talk about it either. Sorry to hear about the hiccups. It will all get better in time. Keep pressing forward and it will all be worth it in the end.

I am sorry to hear about the hiccups and I can imagine they are painful. Like you, I thought I was tougher than this and normally am not someone to complain about the pain. Anyway, it will get better with time and be worth it in the end. Keep up the positive attitude!

It was a rough night for me last night. Heart burn from hell and just plain uncomfortable. But after I took prescribed acid reflux meds and pain medication things settled down. I feel so fragile inside. I'm even scared to blow my nose, as it might rearrange my new insides.. I'm definitely struggling to get in my fluids, for fear of vomiting. But I just keep slowly sipping. I'm moving slowly and am able to get up easier. So the gas is slowly escaping. I hope the rest of you are doing better than I have been.

I hope your day has gone better. I am doing okay. I have a wicked sore throat and I am also struggling to get in the liquids. I get tired and queasy in the evening. I suppose this is our bodies healing and adjusting to the new piping. Hope you have a better night.

Thanks for checking on me.. I hope you are feeling better too... I woke this morning at 145am with acid building in my throat, and it scared me I might throw up. But thank goodness I didn't. My insides feel so fragile with any movement, and God help me if I ever throw up. I gaged a little when I was trying to get my pain meds down and felt a horrible sensation of ripping, just ever so slightly, and freaked me out. I started praying for a miracle healing lol..

Today has been a lot easier moving from a laying down position to a standing position. I'm only able to get about 20oz of Water and I have 2 shots of Protein mixed in. The protein is 16oz per shot and quite tasty. It's called Liqacel. So I'm just moving along as my body allows. I hope you have a better night as well. It's good to know I'm not the only one experiencing this like this lol

I believe my throat is sore from surgery. My dad is a retired Ear, Nose & Throat doc and he looked at it and said it probably is an canker formed from the tube they put down my throat during surgery. It sure does hurt.

I am very tired tonight and freely extra queasy. I am just about to go to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow. I wish you a better tomorrow.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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
