So I went to the dr again today...I am getting so frustrated. I had my gall bladder out last thursday and thought everything was going to be better. But as usual  its not going to be all better. I am still having issues eating, if I do eat I am either throwing it up or just dry heaving. So today at the doctor he does a barrum swallow and says that my stomach doesn't seem to be emptying the way it should be and he saw some come back up instead of staying in my stomach. WHOO HOO GO ME! Since I saw the dr on the 11th I have lost 8 pounds so in 7 days I lost 8 pounds. He said that I can pretty much plan on doing this until I can start eating again.
So tomorrow I go to a GI dr to find out when he is going to a scope to see if the bottom whole of my stomach is full of scar tissue and if so have them stretch it back out.
I know that all of this could be side affects from the surgery. What I didn't think was possible was to get them all. Since my surgery i have had a kidney stone (did not know that this was a side affect) my gall bladder taken out and now this. I am back to my all liquid diet. WHICH I HATE!
The doctor told me that I have an advantage over most, that I will lose more weight quicker than most. Which I guess is good but not exaclty how I thought it would be.
Another thing that bothers is me is the fact that my mom had the surgery 3 weeks after me and isn't exactly following the diet and is having none of the problems. It just doesn't seem fair. I am glad that she is doing well but come on, when do I get a break?

If you have any information on any of this or have been there please let me know. I feel so alone! 

Hello All-
I have been a member for some time now, but have never really blogged. I had my gastric bypass on December 31, 2008. Since this date I have lost 42 pounds. I have had some problems with my surgery, the one thing I didn't know is that the rapid weight loss would cause kidney stones. So a month out of surgery I had a 4 mm kidney stone. WHOO HOO. Then the next week everything I started to eat came back up. I called my dr who said that there was a stomach virus going around and that things should get better. So later that week it was still as bad so I called back and they ran some tests and found out that my gall bladder was only working at 7%. So last thursday they took it out, I am somewhat sore but I am so afraid to eat. I don't want to throw up any more. I have been trying to eat little by little and I stop eating when my belly hurts. If anyone has any advice about that please feel free to let me know.

o, when I started my journey with my dr I was at 267 pounds, before surgery I had gone down to 258 pounds. Its been almost 8 weeks since my surgery and I have gone down to 216 pounds. I am extremely surprised that I have lost that much weight in that short of time. I have been told that my ideal weight will be somewhere around 137 pounds. That leaves me needing to lose 79 more pounds. I know that the rest is going to be harder to lose than the first 42 pounds. It just blows my mind that within a year I could lose 121 pounds. HOLY COW!

The only issue that I am starting to notice is that I don't really look like myself any more. I know that its to be expected but oh my god I didn't think that it would be that different that soon. Hmmm...any opinions or thoughts are more than welcome!
