Monday Weigh IN
Sharon,
Since you exercise so much, I bet you are just losing inches like crazy!! That's probably why people are all the sudden seeing changes in you. I know its little consolation when the scale is being a little ***** and not moving but it's probably the truth!
Wishing you a great week!!
Had a horrible week and gained a couple lbs. Here's to a new week.
For the first time, I'm going to try 600-800 cals and carbs under 40 - but its going to be 80% liquids since the only way I can do this is if I'm not hungry (and that means my acid has to be under control and i pretty much can't eat anything or my acid flares up)
Ive actually been letting thoughts creep into my head about a revision to the RNY to control my GERD problem and get the added benefit of weight loss. My reflux is horrible and im scared of entering the territory of esophogeal erosion issues. I just dont know if the RNY scares me more...
But, I need to fix my head first and foremost.

GERD is basically acid reflux, an occasional side effect of the VSG. Because of the way they make the pouch with the RNY, it's cures acid reflux. My surgeon has wanted me to do the revision for the last year but i refused. Because the DS won't change my sleeve, it wouldn't solve my reflux issue (nor my cookie addiction lol).

Hi Alison,
I am having bad GERD as well. I cant eat a bite of cooked food after 6pm or I am in hell all night long. I have found if I use digestive enzymes followed by a bottle of water it helps considerably in the evening. I also try to eat only raw after 5p. I also do not chew gum at night because it sends a false message to our brain to produce more acid which causes GERD.
Good Luck....GERD sucks.

You know I really think Acid can be a real problem. Have you tried that supplement Dr. OZ talked about? It's called DGL. I know some people hate Dr. OZ. You might ask your doctor if that's ok to take. You just take one before every meal. Also did you know long term use of a PPI can cause low magnesium levels? It's not a bad idea to add in magnesium :) Maybe those will help? I started taking magnesium and it really made me feel better, even energy wise. It helps with the constipation too. I know for sure though that RNY will cure your GERD. So if you think it will help go for it girl

I had a really stressful week and somehow lost ummm.....8.6 pounds?? What the heck?! I am assuming I will bounce back up but still my official weigh-in's are on Monday's so I am counting it and will deal with the bounce back as it comes.
