change your diet

What you are going through is so normal. I had some complications and had to have a couple of EGDs, but I was also getting sick...so it is so great that you are not getting sick at all. Good luck on your journey!

You will be the FIRST I tell if I ever get sick or dump... LOL I have also noticed that the others who had surgery with Dr. Joya don't talk about having problems with foods..... it would be interesting to know if it was because of his awesome skills!!

Yeah, I did panic and think for a moment that maybe I had that Mexican "Swine Flu". But all I have is the cough.... none of the other flu symptoms. So I think I can rule it out ;) But I am keeping a close eye on it and have been in contact with my doctor via email. I will see her on Tuesday at the very latest.
Yep, TOTALLY NORMAL. I remember that feeling of being really rundown and wondering when the healing would be over. It took a few weeks for me (your body did go through some pretty major surgery :) but it HAPPENS!!! Hang in there, girl. Big hugs.

Good to know that I am "normal" and not a freak who's body is turning agaist her!!! That is what I feel like sometimes! I think, like you said I need to remember that I DID just put my insides through the ringer and it is best to take it EASY ;) Thanks Girlie.

it IS alot!! it will get easier. Drinking was a major prob for me, but now it's almost normal, like b4 surgery. Hang in there girl!! Don't be surprised if you go into a depression too... that's normal. No worries... hang in there!! :) If you want, we can exchange numbers in case u have any questions. :)

Just today I started to actually be able to drink PLAIN WATER!! Which was a major hurdle for me. I think getting in fluids will be easier now. Thanks for the support!! You are awesome :)

Okay, so I'm at week 6.5 and I've had ZERO energy until just the past couple of days. I thought there was something wrong with me, but apparently that's normal. Plus, I know I'm not getting enuf protein, so that doesn't help. But it will get better... takes some time. Good luck, keep us posted! :)

Ok, so I was hoping my energy might pick up a little SOONER than that. LOL But thanks for the heads up. It REALLY helps to know that others have experienced the same. LUVS to ya!
