This is NUTS!

My journey to WLS has had its ups and downs. I am almost 6 weeks post op and I still have bouts of vomiting every time I eat. The doctor is trying to run tests to figure out what's going on. I go back to the doctor Wednesday. Even though I am having this issue I wouldn't change my decision. I am off all my meds and no longer need a sleep apnea machine. I started my journey in March at 401. I am now 305. Everyone at work call me the disappearing woman which I think it's nuts because they say it everyday. Getting a little embarrassed. I have a girl come up to me and said I been even wanting to tell you that I think you have been losing a lot of weight and you look great. What did you do? Ohhhh you guys I have to share a story. I would say a NSV. I used to run track when I was in middle school and haven't ran since. Yesterday my sister and her husband were at the train station and I just took off running. My brother and law was like why are you running? And I said because I CAN! My stomach use to get in the way and I use to get out of breath so quick when I was bigger but now I can actually run again. Once again NUTS but in a fantastic way

 Just had to share! 

I hope the vomiting resolves. Off to a good start!!

Wow - if your ticker is current and you took off running, you are going to blow the doors off this surgery!  Keep it up. 

Sounds like you are doing well minus the vomiting... Do you take an acid reducer/PPI? Too much acid can make you vomit. I know from experience.

thanks everyone. I don't take an acid reducer but I might have to ask my doctor about it. I tried saltine crackers and wheat thins yesterday and I didn't vomit surprisingly. It's not Protein but it helped with the dizziness and light headiness. Will post an update after I see my doctor. But thanks you guys for taking out the time to reply with your encouragement and words of advice. ;-) God bless

Oh I have to update my ticker. 

I had the same problem for a couple of weeks around my 6-8 week post-op mark.  My surgeon says that is when the scaring is the worst around all your sutures.  I vomited daily for those 2 weeks, but finally came through it.  It could also be other issues, so make sure you don't let it go for too long!
