Hi! Consider a dietary version of a Spring Cleaning first then perhaps consider intermittent fasting or keto/low carb but naturally ask your team for guidance first

Make a list today. Put 3 actionable steps on it that are just for you. No matter how big or small they are. Just put them on the list. Keep it only to 3. Then go get those things done. Check them off your list. And look at the list as you accomplish them. Finish the list before you sleep. If I was fighting depression, I would segment it so that it didn't feel overwhelming. Such as: 1. Go outside in the fresh air for 5 minutes and do deep breathing. (Concentrate on how good it feels to feel the fresh air on your face. Mentally release all of the anxiety, sadness, and dark feelings. Imagine it lifting away and being carried up into the air and blown away on the wind.) 2. Walk either outside or around the inside of your house for 5 minutes. Just 5 minutes. Walk as fast as you can. Get your heart rate up. Listen to happy music. Walk walk walk. 3. Watch a comedy that really makes you belly laugh. And I'd check them off and tomorrow I would do another list of 3. Keep doing it daily and build on your list but keep it under 5 things for awhile. When you're ready, focus on your diet. But right now, you need to focus on your mental/emotional well-being. Hang in there. ((hugs))

I think the stomach bug idea is your best bet. Hopefully no one will pay any attention to what you're eating anyway and it will be a non-issue.

Hey all, I am 22 months about and was getting my work up for a tummy tuck only to find out I’m pregnant! Besides being freaked out by the fact that I’m having a baby at 42 after a gastric sleeve.... I’m surprised and getting used to the idea. My major concern is how will this progress? At 22 months out I am still eating 4 ounces three times a day averaging about 750-900 calories has anyone gotten pregnant? Any issues?

My surgeon asked for a 10% loss... 27lbs for me. It wasn't a firm expectation, and when I was struggling, in part due to one of my diabetes meds, they helped me get in to see a specialist to make some changes. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I second the Diclofenac cream, but don't need it anymore since my steroid injections. If you can't do the shots, the Diclofenac cream really does help a bit. Yup, Tylenol sucks!! Lol! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was in the big and tall section, looking for just a tall shirt was a specific reason. The salesperson didn't think I belonged there. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using BariatricPal mobile app

I went 17 days without pooping at one point so I know this pain well. LOL. I take Colace twice a day now and a Mag Citrate PILL (DO NOT GET THE LIQUID) in the evening. If I happen to go more than 3 days without going, I take some Milk of Magnesia. Smooth Moves tea works, as well, but I've found MoM to be better. You can also have Miralax twice a day... just add it to WARM drinks and not cold because it is not unflavored, despite its claims. lol. Miralax is meh, though. I was told not to take fiber because it is bulking. I had a hernia after surgery, though, and that may play a factor into why I was told no fiber supplements.

Me too! I'm still hungry also on the liquid diet my surgery was on the 3rd. I hope when we transition to soft then solid foods it will be better with the hunger.

Well children I had shoulder surgery April 4, put on Norco postt And 5 guesses where I am visiting? I think my constipation tendency has turned into obstipation, or close thereon to. As soon as Tomkitten gets up we will be off to the ER, been taking twice daily. Miralax, took a dose of MoM last evening to no avail. Seems not to be hard but my rectal muscles don't seem able to pass it out. Oh Me, Oh My!💩
