Acid Reflux back again?

Just a quick question. I had severe Acid Reflux b/f my WLS in October 04 (about 4 mos. ago). This morning I woke up with terrible Acid Reflux and was worried this is the beginning of hell again with battling the reflux. Anybody get this occassionally? Am I worried about it for nothing? Everything else going okay though and no other health worries I had b/f WLS. I have lost 104 lbs as of this morning from 313 to 209. People say I am getting too skinny b/c I am 6 foot 2 inches and are worried I am losing weight too quickly. I lost 4 lbs since last Friday or about 3 days. My doc. said no to get below 200 but people keep asking how I stop losing weight? Anybody in the same boat? Will it stop? Never thought I would be worried about losing too much weight. Thanks and have a good Tuesday!

Jesse, We live fairly close together. Do you have a support group in Sigourney? We do in Washington if you would like to come sometime. We meet the 1st Mon.nite of the month at 6:30 in the Hosp. meeting room. You are welcome. We have people from all over join us. Now to answer your questions, yes I have Acid Reflux occasionally but it goes away with a tums or rolaid. And yes I was worried about loosing to much weight. I got down to 139 and am 5'9" so according to my surgeon I was only to get down to 160-150. I was very worried about not stopping but I have maintained this weight now for 2 mos. I think you will probably hit a point that your body will adjust to. My surgeon suggested I add protein powder to my foods to help get more calories in to help me maintain. This has helped some. I don't like the taste of food so I tend not to eat much. Meat makes my pouch grouchy most of the time. So I have to use the protein supplements for most of my protein anyhow. Just call and ask your surgeon what he suggests or if you will stop loosing soon. How many calories do you get in a day? Have you kept track? I don't because I don't really want to know, and as long as I maintain where I am I am not going to worry to much about it. Do you feel healthy, or are you tired, weak and drug out? One more question about Sigourney, do you know any Flanigans from there? That is my Dads family. My grandma was a Flanigan. Just curious. Good luck with your journey and let us know how things are going. Cindy G.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, there are several Flanagin's here in town. There is Wayne Flanegin and there are some that used to be Flanegin's that are now married. Michelle Flanegin (now Herman) used to own the restaurant on the square here called Flanegins. On my diet....I don't keep track of calories, I should but after doing that with dieting in the past...I thought that I would never have to do that again but I should if I want to watch it. I feel great though and have more energy that ever. Thanks for the invite to the support group. I will definately try to make it soon. It's better than going all the way to Grinnell. I used to work in Washington so it's pretty close for me anyhow. Thanks again.
