My hubby got very sick post gastric and they had to strech his pouch out and he get a vit b shot and also has taken relclaspe to help with severe osteoperosis from  calcium deficency. we also been eating gummy bears vit that we get from costco seems to help with digestion. seems pills were not digestin as well. seems to help him .. I was so malnourished  after my recent surgery, I had to increase my caloric intake and also took vit c and oh my the nausea went away and i feel so much better just taking  vits like hubby did.. U did not mention what new problems. I am feeling amazing and doing well with a slight unfill and taking the gummy vit  Good luck susan. 
 

Has anyone here been sick with strange new problems since gastric bypass surgery?  We're all three years out and I'd like to talk with anyone that has been experiencing problems.  I have been incredibly sick and want to see what other people are going through.  Maybe we can compare notes.  I need to try and find out what I am doing wrong so I can hope to possibly fix my new problems!

Good morning everyone. I hope you are all doing OK. i took a break for a few weeks and now I am back. I am glad to see some familiar faces.
As you all are, I am also struggling. I find I can eat a tremendous amount and it scares the hell out of me. the carbs and goodies can endlessly go into my stomach. The heavy protein (meats especially) seem to clog me up quickly. So, the question is.........why don't I just stick with the protein?? DUH! My emotional sickness with food has resurfaced, But I will not give up.
I hope everyone has a safe holiday weekend.

why does it always want something thats so difficult?

I finally had the time to just zone out and actually just relax.. I first wanted to thanks everyone for their support and caring heart over my recent events. Seems I have pulled away from most people and  kinda been a hermit. I recently be friended a annorexic friend.. I could see my friend struggle with eating issues and well u learn alot being around a person stuggling on the  other side of the scale so to speak. My friend and me have alot ofthe same thoughts of food and  is this gonna make me fat. I guess what i learned from my friend which by the way eats more than i ever could.. is alot how our bodies are influnced by genetics and situation beyong our control. My friend eats more than me lol.. but i am not that skinny.. I often say well I am a great food storage person. Well I did see my plastic surgeon and he told me that I am basically carrying 10 lbs on my chest of saline and that is not my true weight.. I am currently 168 lbs with saline which makes me 158 lbs.. My annorexic friend told me u r not fat.. I was just like what?  she says u r tall and tiny.. I like your body.  she was showing me how her bones stick and and i can see threw the eyes of a annorexic how they see how fat they look. we both been talking curves  and how recently gaining 10lbs made that bony apperance go away for my friend. I have been enlighten and really can see that we are not much different with are realtionship with food post surgery..
Specking of surgery my son was approved to have his lap band on again after losing it the first of the year. So sad to see my son gain 70lbs back since the loss of the lab band.. I thank God every day I still am able to keep my lap band..  so currently my weight is a respectiable 168 with saline implants. I am recovering and maybe not emotionally in a good place but it is all how u see u comming out of this in the end.. I have had major set back with my prophylactic masectomy.. may post pics when i get brave.
I am not sure I can say I am emotionally in a good place but what I can say is i am hanging in there as best as I can..
I am so glad to see friendly faces  and actually the back bone of my weight loss . my A team..
So hows life in your neck of the woods?
