I was the same and wish I took colace. I think it took me a while 7 days. UGH it was bad.

I don't really remember that day or night much. I do remember waking up a lot to go pee due to IV fluids. I only remember being gassy is the most painful part so I just took gas X pills and strips.

I stall but then have to find more cals some where and as soon as I up my cals I started to drop again. I think your body gets use to what you are eating esp if you eat the same thing every day. Try to change it up and see if that helps. I know it helped me.

MY absolute fav is the greek gods brand and the Honey or Honey vanilla. It is high in fat but I have found I have been not stalling as much as I increase my cals a little this is my only fat splurge.

I LOVE one line comments like " food got to me where I was and now I am happy with out excess food" Or "When you go with out ice cream sandiches they just don't taste as good anymore" " I eat for me and no one else"

I was sleeved and my most recent little thing to celebrate was new unieds as they are falling off me when I walk I have lost 5 inches off my hips. I am 3 weeks out and 30lbs down.

My Dr suggested 2 weeks but it was beacuse it is hard on your stomach.

I can say that is why I am an adict of CLICK protein espresso. I get my coffee first thing it is warm so nice on the am tummy and It has protein.

I have been sleeved since 3/12/12 and I have gone though some of these moments. The most recent being yesterday after my 5th time opening the fridge and thinking I can't eat anything in here WHY AM I DOING THIS! I was stressed (kids home on spring break and being BAD) Then I had a moment ahh this is why I ate and I ate to much to make me 278lbs. So then I thought I need to find something to do to fix this issue(s) that is turning me to food. I haven't come up with much yet except for once I am able to (after healing) I am going to wake up an hour before everyone else in my house and do Yoga or Palaties something for just me and a stress reliver.

the funny thing when I had my surgery the Dr talked to me before and said that I will lose a lot of weight and not to be surprised if I lose a friend or two as for the shear fact of jealously. I have a few friends that haven't been so great and a few great ones that like to share with me when we go out.

I have almost the same reaction I cough and have hot flash. I am 3 weeks post op and this just stared 2 days ago.

You can do it. I have been sleeved for 3 weeks now and tried C25K but hurt my knee last year and then needed a major knee surgery so then I really needed to get WLS. For my knee health. have you hear about or looked into C25K I highly reccomend it.

I am 3 weeks out and my larger incison just stopped being soar. I am thinking that is the insision that was used the most and had the most movement going on like the staplier and removal of your excess stomach.

I can understand your frustrations but if these are people you will be eating in front of ever again they are going to figure it out. Also there are many other surgeries that have a limited diet immediately following so some people might not even bat an eye at the comment.

surgery can bring on a period. I have PCOS and a IUS and I don't have a period at all. EVER. I did how ever have one the week after surgery.

My post op I could have soft diet foods at 4 weeks out. Mashed veggies, toast, oatmeal, fish, cottage cheese, apple sauce. All Drs are diffrent.

week 2 I had the worse lower back pain it was there at the end of week one went away for 3 days and was back the mid to end of week 2. I think it is just how my body was healing also I have lost 30lbs in a 4 week period so I think part of it is how my body is holding itself and catching up with my weight loss

I am 3 weeks out and I didn't have much rib pain but OMG I had the worst lower back pain weeks 2. this week so far I am feeling well. I think it is just how your body is healing and the process it is taking. Also think of your weight loss and how your body has carried itself. I have lost 30lbs and I think most of my back pain is becuase I am holding myself diffrent with the 30 lbs gone. My body hasn't caught up with itself.

for me so far I am 3 weeks post op. HEAD hunger and what drives you to eat. I have found out I was a huge stress eater when I get stressed now all I can think about is how I want to eat but cant. I found myself today saying to myself I need to find something to help I am angry (stress build up) I have been considering waking early before everyone else and having some me time with Yoga.

Questbars are very tasty. I have found eating fish is a quick and easy way to get a lot of protein.

CELEBRATE ones are awsome. I love them they can be big the buy the cacium chews and not the chewable viatmins beaucse the does it 4 of them. That is a lot of chewing th multi is 2 tabs. They also have the BEST tasting chewable iron. YUMMY.

I would call her back and tell her you would like a basket with some lip gloss, protein bars, nail polish and a little shaker bottle. ( I love my little shaker bottle)...etc things like that if you offer up those types of suggestions she might be a little more understandable.

My drain was in for 4 days and it didn't hurt at all They had me take beep breath and pulled it out a little on each exhale. I just concentrated on my breathing. Maybe at most for me it stung a little in the end. I think my body felt better having it removed and out. sorta like taking an band aid off. how your skin feels like it breath after it is off. I hope this helps. I know of the other gals that day only one said it hurt when it was removed but she also had a hard time with everything even kneed/kicked the nurse when her IV was done.

I would say just say congrats but be careful depending on how long you were a diabetic it can return after weight loss surgery. I have a friend that lost 80lbs was off meds for 5 months but then needed them again but not as much as beofre. That darn pancres has a mind of its own at times. Make sure to just becareful and watch your levels

my new baby tummy LOVES warm/hot in the mornings and I can drink cold at night. It is painful to drink anything cooler than room temp for me in the am. Also my post op was 64ozs but split. NOt all water they wanted half clear and half full (full being protein shakes, creamy soups) wtih full liquids starting between days 3-7. But start drinkable yogurt day 4. Also clear liquids were/are broth, Garorade, pedualite, apple juice watterd down, protein water, popsicles. I am on day 18 post op. I was sleeved 3/12/12
