Good Morning Everyone, I had RNY 7 months ago and am going very well.  I have lost almost 90 pounds and am now losing about 2 pounds a week, which I am happy with.  I am very close to goal because I had lost 20 pounds before my surgery.  About 3 months ago I had severe pain and retching after my dinner and had to go to the emergency and ended up staying in the hospital 4 days due "they say" to a partial blockage.  I was never convinced that was it.  Well, last night I started with the pain again and I didn't go to the hospital.  I was up all night in agony.  It finally went away.  I want to know what it was. I didn't eat anything differently.  I had 3 oz of chicken, a tbsp of rice, a tbsp of squash for dinner.  I keep a food journal so I noticed that I had only had a little over 700 cal and I was a little hungry latter on so I had some high protein cereal (1/2 cup) with a 1/2 cup soy milk.  Now this is where I may of went wrong.  I used splenda and I dumped on more than I usually do.  Could that have done it?  Also I noticed that the soy milk had expired but I used it anyway.  It tasted fine.  ???  I also had a very thin slice of cheese and a couple of crackers.  That brought my total for the day to under 1000 cals and over 75 grams of protein. I am going to my internal medicine doctor today and I will discuss this with her but I doubt if she will have any answers.  I don't want this to happen again.  It feels like I am in labor.  Please help. Thank you, Susan

I want to thank everyone for responding to my question.  Oh- no one did.  I thought this was where I would go for help but I guess I was wrong.... Anyway, I figured it out for myself and I won't trouble myself here again.

Hi susan, I can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't respond because it sounds like a major medical problem that a dr needs to address, I am sorry to hear you are having such a horrible time, I feel for you.  I hope you get the help and relief that you need. Lynda

Wow, catty indeed. It'**** or miss when you ask for medical advice on a message board.  Sometimes we don't know what's going on, most of the time we don't want to try to diagnose when what you really need is a doc's opinion. I suppose someone could have just given you a courtesy answer.  Sorry no one did.

I do not get many response's on my questions either. I did not respond because I am new and had no clue. Sorry nobody answered, Tracy
