Hey y'all.
Dave here. I had almost 63 yrs old and have WLS on Sept 21st, 2016. I have to say, it's been an adventure. I never had problems before with my stomach or gut in general but I have experienced all kinds of problems since my surgery. Now I have to take Protonix for gastric reflux twice a day. I have been told that this should subside in a few months. I'm getting used to my extremely small stomach and eating tiny amounts of food. I have lost 35 lbs but it's mostly from living on protein shakes and drinking 64 oz of water daily. I have been very weak and tired but I think this is getting better and I'm looking forward to exercising. My joints no longer hurt and I no longer snore. I still have a long way to go and I'm glad to be onto the next phase of eating. It's interesting that my taste buds have completely changed. I love fruit now and it tastes sweet to me where I never ate it before because it didn't taste sweet. I am totally encouraged about the future and my further weight loss. I believe the lower GI upsets are getting better and my body is getting used to my new diet.I am learning to know when I've eaten enough. I will experiment and continue to visit support sites to glean any info I can.
