Topic: Guess what my mom saved??
So funny. My mom is NOT a pack rat. She cleans and declutters often. But we were talking about how baggy my pants were and she said I think I have something and ran to her closet. She then took out five pairs of jeans from when I was 18 and lived at home. I couldn't believe she saved them! So weird. I don't even think the wash is in style anymore but I'm going to keep them and see if they ever fit, lol.

I know. Tomorrow is six weeks for me. Time flies. I just hope the weight continues to come off!!!
Topic: RE: Weird....
Yeah, I agree. I return to work in a week and a half. Last night I had the first dream about work since I've been off and it was all about deadlines! Being off is nice.
Are you having trouble with your pouch and food? I was doing well on soft foods, nothing spicy and for the last week, I've had troubles. Pain vomiting and such. I tried going on liquids yesterday and it helped a little. Today I tried saltines, cheese and avocado for lunch and it hasn't gone too well. It isn't blockage, just disagrees with me. Just wondering if you have experienced this too.

Topic: RE: 1 1/2 week out & sipping fluids keep causeing burps & hiccups?
I am a month out and I still burp and get the hiccups. I found that if I take too big of a sip, I will immediately burp. And the hiccups just come and go, even after eating food it will happen sometimes. It's totally normal. My nut said that its usually too big of sips or too much food at once and air gets trapped in between .
Topic: RE: not doing well with water
I found out the hard way, I can't do crystal light. Gives me horrible gas. So I've been doing low cal gatorade. Goes down soooo much better than water. Hope you can find something that works with you.
Topic: RE: not doing well with water
I also cannot tolerate plain water, unless its really cold, and even then sometimes I get pain from it. Crystal light works though, unsure of why, I used to drink water all the time, now I avoid it.
Topic: RE: not doing well with water
yes, but I feel sick immediately and it goes away- its not delayed like you. I am asking my doc about it on monday. My nut said to try warm water and that seems a little better, but its even better if its tea or crystal light. Mostly anything liquid doesnt sit well for me, except a popsicle!
