What's up people!

Someone sent me a note today asking if I was ok since they hadn't seen me post in some time, well Yes! I am! lol Thanks for sending me that note as well... Spent 6 days in Vegas, 2 in Newport Beach, CA and another 3-4 in the N.E. area.

So, I haven't smoked in over 2 months... I got realy pi$$y since I put on 8 pounds. SOOOO, I head off to Vegas, for 6 days I completely abuse my body, not with food but with the liquid consumption, Let's say that today I thought I was going to have to fight off the DT's as for 10 straight days I enjoyed life, a little too much (I know, I know, I don't need anyone's soap box, I am my worse enemy). So, I ate well, actually pretty healthy... Sushi 2 out of every 3 days. SO, I come back and I lost all 8 pounds... LMAO, I nearly laughed my ass off. If I wasn't single and lived alone I would have to have had someone witness this. Camera's can't give you a true date and time stamp!

OK.... So, big question for the group... I quit smoking, ok... I wasn't a heavy smoker at all. Maybe 3 packs a week, 1 Mon-Fri, 2 Sat/Sun.... Now that I quit I get reflux all the time.... WTF gives????

And don't even get me started on the friends that shock you. You ever have one of those friends, who can do no wrong in your eyes, but yet... They just shock you with their choices. Ehhhh, just had to vent.

Someone hook me up with some reflux guidance, this is getting annoying.

Hey Chris ! Nice Vacation !  You can get some Prevacit ( spelling ?)  over the counter  at Walmart works good for me and the Hub ! Thats what our Doc suggested . Proud you Quit smoking as a smoker I know how hard it is ! We all do them things we are not supposed to do ! I say clean your own back door for you go cleaning someone elses ! Glad you had a good trip ! Welcome back !

Chris did the reflux start after your trip or have you had it since you quit smoking?  Also do you have it at night when you lay down?  Just asking so that I can tell you what I think from my own experience.

Had it before I went away. I started getting it when I quit, and it happens a heck of a lot more when I am laying down.

Thanks!

I used to have it all the time until my RNY, but I've noticed when I smoke more than usual I get reflux from time to time but not so much when I try to quit (which is a bi-weekly thing now).  But at least you have quit!  Just make sure with the reflux that you do not lay down for at least 4 hours after eating...at least that was one of the rules before RNY!

And its awesome you lost your gained weight!
