Hi Rita, Sounds like you are doing fabulous! Congratulations! Sorry you are still having a little pain. I hope it passes soon for you! Do you live near a mall? At all of our local malls they allow "mall Walkers" to enter the mall before the stores open and walk laps around the mall. That could be a really good alternative for you because it is temerature controlled and you don't have to worry about getting rained out. Or if you can afford joining the YMCA, they have all sorts of equipment you can use and classes to take. Or if you're not a "joiner" (which I am not - I'd rather work out on my own until I feel more comfortable in my skin), buy a treadmill. You can get a decent one for a pretty reasonable price these days. Well, I wish you continued success! Keep up the good work and keep us posted! , Robin

Not sure If I've hit a stall yet..don't think so but know it will come..thank you so much Kat for the post! Rita

Drinking protein shakes helps a TON i think! I've felt hungry a lot as well Mo..but when I do well with the protein shakes I have much better days! Rita

I'm with Diana! My dr. has me taking two pepcid as well and I haven't had much problem with gas or hiccups..my brother who had surgery in august never took the pepcid and has a HORRIBLE time..he started on pepcid two days ago and it is already doing better for him! Rita

I also had my rny on 3/29. My doctor has me taking 2 pepcid per day - one in morning and one at night. I occasionally burp after consuming food, but nothing unbearable. No hiccups here.
