I had my gastric bypass on March 12,2015 and it's been good but it wasn't easy because of the new change, new eating habits and trying to stay hydrated! I tried having the Protein Shake and it made me nauseous, they're days when I'm good and days when I feel weak but lately I have gotten a lot of energy and I exercise frequently now but I know God is helping me and he guides me threw this

That's awesome you're doing better! I had bypass on 5/27 and Protein shakes and Water have been an issue for me. Instead of getting overly frustrated I decided to just do what I can so I mix my pre made shakes with some ice and hazelnut flavoring and I found a 15 calorie lemonade drink made by minute made that I mix with ice and just drink that as my liquid intake. I know it's not exactly what the plan says but it beats nothing at all which is what I was taking in at first lol.

I'm like you, I know God is helping me through this so even when things seem a little uneasy I'm not bothered by it because I know what the end result is...blessings to you!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
