Well Well, how well I know about Ralphin!! I had Strictures and started vomiting very soon after my RNY. I had 5 ENDOSCOPES with 4 DIALATIONS. I had the FOAMIES more times than I can count. I couldn't keep even Water down. I took my sleeping pills and was throwing up all night the next morning still going at it and up comes 2 Amitriptlyn undigested they had set on top of my pouch all night and came out as they went in!! I got so tired of driving 2 hours away to see my Surgeon. From Nov 2013, Dec 2013 Jan 2014 July 2014 with my last one Jan 2015. BTW I fired my Dr. and now I have to drive 4 hour drive but at least I am comfortable with that Bariatric Center. For those of you that go out of the States and are worried about after care, you can get DR's to take you on. Also, my PCP orders my blood work and I have her add what the Bariatric DR needs and then it is faxed to them. I only have to see them if needed. There we are done cryin here. LOL

Even at 16 months out I will feel quite ill if I eat too fast. I get dumping syndrome - regardless of sugar content in food - if I eat my 1/4 oz in under 1 hour I can be quite ill for a long time. I get weak, can't talk, can't move, have never thrown up but do this weird horrible breathing thing and then I fall asleep for a period of time between 20 minutes and 6 hours. It's horrible.

I can't stress enough to be careful when eating and give yourself time. Most days it's fine but when it's bad I can't do anything and it puts my entire life on hold while I have medical event happening.

I try to maintain my good attitude and sense of humor about it. I say that I'd much rather have this horribly sick feeling than be morbidly obese and dying. So there's that. hahah!

I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but if I eat too fast or too much I get severe pain, feel really naseaus and wish I’d throw up to make it stop. After about 30 minutes it eases, but until then any activity, conversation or anything but sitting is horrible.

      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!!
