Post Op 22 Days!

Hello all I am a greenie to the website. I was introduced by someone in my WLS support group. It is so nice to be able to read everyone's stories and to hear how all are doing. I only wish that I had found the site BEFORE my surgery (2/3/06). Before the surgery I weighed in at 271. In the week before the surgery(GB) I lost 9 lbs on a liquid diet. I am now at 242. It is exhilarating. Besides missing double cheeseburgers, things have gone well. I am in my last week of full liquids and have been experimenting with some soft food. The most challenging part I find is getting all the water down that I need to. At the most I have gotten down 50oz. Any suggestions? I have only one major roadblock...Before my surgery I was taking a medication that I have been on for 7 years. Since the surgery everytime I take it I very quickly experience dumping syndrome. It is horrible and so debilitating. The dilemma is that I cannot be with out this medication. Has anyone experienced anything similar?? I would love to get some feedback! I am so happy to be apart of this fabulous resource that all WLS patients should know about!

Hi, I was worried about that too, because I take heart meds, but luckily I tolerate everything, liquids, protein, etc. I would call the dr and see if they have any other ways that you can take it!! Good luck! Love, Kennie
