July Butterflies Master Thread



Recommended Posts

I am here hanging in there trying to find a job but still working at the same place with that evil woman. I asked for a half day off friday and it was so nice.

Anyways this week my acid got real bad I woke up twice spitting it up. Not good. Called my Dr office my Dr was on vaca I was told to not eat 2 hrs before I go to sleep and that should help. I found some otc med that is strictly for acid you can take and it feels like it numbs as it goes down it is called Gaviscon in liquid form. It works so fast I have only have used it twice. Once on Friday when everything bothered me I really could not eat anything. I found it at the store on lunch and it made me feel better. Then to be on the safe side I took a dose right before bed and had no problems.

I looked it up on web md and I guess I have bad acid reflux and i am trying to not have anything that they listed that causes the acid except I have coffee I am just cutting it back to a small cup.

So I am trying.Love you all and wish us all good vibes and strong wills to get through this battle of ours.

Well 1:00am am I can't get to sleep I took an ambien 3hrs ago and nothing my head will not stop chatting. I have not really felt good today nausea, headaches, I have had night sweats the last two nights something is not right. I think I have been messing up my stomach with all this acid problems and I need to get the Dr to loosen my band so I can rest my stomach. I sure it it a combo of stress, emotions an other stuff but I have never had acid so bad before and I do not want to take any more stuff for the acid the band needs loosened.

OH Yes girl, Make sure they take a little out. No reason in the world to be so uncomfortable. Stress is way worse when we're tired from lack of sleep. Hope it goes well for you.

Okay everyone back from the LB Dr took 4.5cc out of my band. I am going to be on Prilosec for a while to get my stomach to settle down due to it is most likely irritated under the band from the acid, PBing and so forth. I have 3.3cc in my band like in the begining liquids till Wed. the soft/ mushie then start solids this weekend. I get to start over and this time follow correctly. Oh he was not surprised at the weight gain because of the issues.

I am go to my reg MD shortly cause I have had such a Migraine for two days and have not slept so she can give me a shot of toradol it is the only thing that really works. I might take tomorrow off to so I can get some rest I will keep you posted.

Well, I finally found our site. I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving. I did not overeat at the meal, but I have gone on a cracker binge this evening. I have got to stop it because I feel a little reflux coming on. I am not going to Black Friday. I don't need anything, and it is too cold for my bones.

Melissa, I see you found this thread. I hope the rest of the Butterflies find us. Yep, tomorrow starts a new goal for Christmas. We have another month to work on our goal.

Thx Melisa, I found it. It will surely take some gettin use to. Well i've not done that well at resisting, since yesterday I had 2 peices of pumpkin cheese cake and a small peice of pecan pie (I have got to quit baking) Now comes the blasted beating myself up part. Why do I keep repeating the same behavior? A Christmas goal would be nce, I sure didn't hit the Thanksgiving one. New day tomarrow and a new start.

I got the tatoo I was talking about, It's a Butterfly and above it it says Trust Your and under it says journey So maybe when I'm in doubt I can just turn my arm over and remind myself. Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving

Hey gang, if you click on fast reply at the bottom you can change the color and size. I finally found July Butterflies by clicking down the page under "following content" and clicked on topics. All the thread you have commented on come up I don't know where we are on the Home page.

Once again. No change in my weight. I will try again this week. Oh how do you change your signature? I change my ticker, but I don't know where to click for my signature.

I'll try to post one I'm really lost on this new forum.

OK, 1 month until Christmas and I'm gonna try really hard to get back on track. Had such a bad food day yesterday and the guilt is kicking my butt. I've got to stop giving in. I'm gonna lean on ya'll for support and encouragment and the butt kicking I deserve from time to time.

      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!

      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!!
