proton pump inhibitor, an antiacid, usually on BP omeprazole/Prilosec. and it protects your stomach lining after surgery, if you have GERD you,may already be on it. I am on Dexilant,a higher priced and I think better pill. 💊 😛

@Sleeved in DFW :-)
First, your respective is sound, you look vibrant, healthy...just lovely and full of life!
Second, congrats! Your hard work has already paid off.
Finally, you are correct. Age has a lot to do with this. At nearly 54, this post-op loss is much slower than post-op lap band at 42! :) Thankfully, I have far less to lose!

Add genpro to a apple sauce or sugar free pudding. It is 30 grams of Protein. U should only be eating 1/4 a cup to 1/2 a cup per serving (that is ur whole meal. I can only get 1/4 down. I do not get my protein in by meats only by genpro I can not eat enough. If u feel thirsty while eating u are full throw the stuff out. My Snacks are the apple sauce and sugar free pudding with the genpro. Like I said I get 400 calories a day. A 1000 calories is for someone trying to sustain there weight

Wow 4 weeks out and 1000 calories I can barely get 400. You are eating way to much.
I wish you had taken the time to actually read this post. It’s 10 months old now and there is an update from me right above your post. That aside, wow. Your post is rude and unhelpful. I am so glad no one responded this way when I posted this ten months ago. I received so much love and encouragement, advice and kindness. I guess that is not your style. While others lifted me up, you chose to do the opposite.
Quick piece of advice, if you are only eating 400 calories a day, you are going to have serious Hair loss and other issues with mal-nutrition. May be a good idea to discuss thoroughly with your doctor. Good luck to you.

Part of many sites and this is normal 4 weeks out and my surgeon says it’s normal 4 weeks out not much u calories u can get on baby food. He only wants u at 600 -700 cal. Until u hit a year which will be easier when u can have higher calories foods when ur stomach heals. My nutritionist says the same. So don’t bad mouth me when I following my surgeon recommended plan to a T to ensure I don’t eat through my stomach. I also have crohns and can have major tears in my stomach from my he healing process. But every person I know 4 weeks out try’s just to get there Protein in and I do get 100g a day through genpro. I take my Vitamins I do everything to a T. And if u go to the support groups they will tell her she eating to much for 4 weeks out. I am not allowed to touch a nut tell 8 weeks

Some of the posts (in relation to the stomach issues every four hours) have suggested PPI I’m curious if anyone had or has taken Ranitidine? my doctor said it’s suppose to be better than nexium. How true is this?

Also, to the original poster on this thread. You’ve come this far along you’re journey and probably doing awesome!

How are you feeling now since the surgery?

I’m due for mine in the middle of Aug

I am so impressed with your 61 lbs. loss and do understand the frustration of losing little to no weight when you're trying so hard. Allow yourself a break from the anxiety and frustration and focus on your happiness and health. Get out and walk (sunshine) , spend time with friends, doing something different - yoga, Pilates, bicycling, etc. This frustration will pass and the weight will continue to come off without falling into old habits. Be kind to yourself and let the healthy changes you've made work, no matter how slow at times - you are worth it!

I take Rantadine. It was prescribed as a liquid right after surgery, and after about a month I switched to a pill. It is OTC, and super inexpensive. It works for me.

      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!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
