Congrats! I'm almost at 4 months too. I get sick too, might want to get checked for a stricture. I'm being scoped this week.

Thanks everyone. As fr what makes me sick? About anything and everything. one day I can eat something and do fine and the next day it makes me sick. Some days anything will do it. I have tried to eat when nothing will go down. Like my neck is closed.
No explianation. I have a dr visit this week and plan to ask about it.
I still have no regrets!

Congratulations on you weight loss, I too am down 80 lbs at 9 weeks out. It does feel good. I do also get sick a lot and can eat very little, perhaps that is why I have lost so much.
I cannot wait till food starts agreeing with my pouch.
Keep up the great work Sgtsmith. Peace
