How long does it take to feel better??!!!!!

I'm 6 weeks out and I'm having problems with reflux and the DR thinks I have an ulcer.Well it's been a week with no relief. I'm happy with the wt lose (start 343 now 303) but I hate the problems that are coming with WLS. It's hard to stay positive when you are not feeling well. I don't think I'm drinking or eating enough and PROTEIN SHAKES SUCK! HELP ME!!!! I don't want to give up but I'm almost at that point:{ Akilah

Well you cant give up, you new body wont let you , so get rid of that thought. Did you have a lap band or bypass.,, cause if you had bypass you cant have reflux cause you new pouch dont have acid in it... I hear ya about protein shakes they do suck.. I got some unflavored protein and add it into a drink and although it changes the texure a bit it doesnt taste and that a + for me.. Good luck to you and stay strong

I had the bypass and I'm sure it is acid in my pouch. I've been back to my dr and he put me on more meds for it. I just ready to feel better thank you for the support

I'm sorry its been difficult for you. You have a lot of company here. The adjustments can be a strain. I wish I knew what to say to make it better. All I have is a *HUG*. Hope you get the help soon.

Thank you,I really needed that hug. Everyday is getting a little better

don't feel alone I am there with you and it seems to get alittle better now that I am on provcide 30mg twice a day. I still have some trouble but it seems to help better than anything else. I have just deceided that if I feel sick I just go with it and get sick then I feel better. If you let your self get sick then you will feel better. Please let me know how you are doing.

i really didn't use the shakes...the minute i taste one it was over......so now days i drink Isopure zero carbs with 40 grams of protein........and pro-stat649natural flavor) the other 2 flavor are sick....anyway pro-stat64 gives you 15 grams of protein for every onuce of liquid...
