How about you just follow the rules and if your on full liquids you eat full liquids? If you want to cheat and eat applebees why did u even get the surgery? Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Try miralax and stool softeners. If that doesnt help milk of magnesium will do it. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

The excitement of what to come motivated me to do it. It wont hurt for you to snack on low carb, low fat items. The point of preop is to shrink your liver. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Both my wife and myself had gastric bypass surgery at different times. We are both supportive, helpful, and attentive to each others needs. As a man I am a bit offended by the intention of this thread. I dont know anyone personally from this site so please dont take this as personal. If you are unhappy at your husbands laziness why does it bother you that he is there to ensure you are ok. Do you have insecurities that you take out on him because he wants to be helpful? How can you be irritated with a projection of how he may need assistance when he goes through life altering surgery? Sounds like you want him to be lazy just so you can be unhappy and complain about it. Sounds like you are just a debbie downer. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Id it happens again before you get the ultrasound keep a mental note of what you ate previous to that pain. Gallbladder attacks usually come on from a fatty meal. Mine happened after I had a chunk of cheese. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

I noticed the same thing happening with me. My nutritionist said that it might be that I am strictly drinking Water now where in the past I had carbinated drinks and artificially flavored drinks which cause irritation in the bladder and more frequent urination.

They could if your gallbladder had stones in them previous to the surgery. Did your surgeon have it tested? The pain is more upper abdomen directly under the right breast and extends across the upper abdomen to the left. Hope its just gas pain for you. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Im am only 1 week post op and I can only get about 400 calories in me. Im never hungry and after a few nibbles I feel satisfied. I am only eating Proteins blended with stock or low fat chicken gravy. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

To start i think you should see ur doctor to talk about this. I have notices that the antigas chewables help alot with belching etc. Also look closely at what your eating, how much your eating, the speed at which you eat etc. If anything there has changed you may be getting some pushback from your body thats alerting you to this.

Remember this journey is as much mental as it is physical. I would recommend seeing a therapist on a weekly or monthly basis to help your eyes see the improvements that the body is showing us. Remember we have had years and years of society convincing us we are fat and ugly and unwanted. We now have to teach ourselves we are a different person we used to be.

That looks so good. Definitely beats this pureed stuff I am eating for the next 4 weeks. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

I agree with previous posters but just add one comment. Is mineral/soda Water something that you drink regularly? If it is I would reccommend ending that consumption now because after surgery you probably cant drink it anymore. If you have no issues stopping once you have surgery I would say enjoy in moderation as long as you check with your surgeon, dietician, and team first so you are in line for success.

I'm revising from band to sleeve in two weeks. If you didn't have the band, please don't make broad statements about why I need this revision. I didn't "abuse the band". It injured me and continues to do so. I had my band for more than six years- I thought it would be in place forever. Unfortunately, my body has decided that enough is enough. My esophagus is worn out from working hard to get food through the restriction. It has nothing to do with eating around the band or drinking milkshakes. I did what was asked-I continued care with my surgeon, I saw the dietitian and exercise physiologist, and ate as required for six years. I lost a lot of weight but once things started going bad, none of that mattered. I did my due diligence and researched before I was banded in 2010. I resent your implication that I did this to myself. You have your theories about why the band doesn't work, but you need to be careful when you make blanket statements. Yes, it's dropped in usage but it isn't just because everyone abused it or ate around it-the problem is with the device itself. OP-I'm revising because I can no longer eat food and have it go through without sitting in the back of my throat. My last upper GI showed that the barium didn't clear the band for almost five minutes. My band now sits empty, ready for revision. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Amen. I love your reply. I had lapband surgery back in 2011, when i weight over 500lbs. The band was great and I lost over 240lbs. Life was great. I was running, exercising everyday, staying up on ally support doctors, dieticians, fills etc. Back in 2014 after a fill the band eroded into my stomach. I was not drinking milkshakes, overeating, or finding ways to overeat. Long story short I spent a week in the hospital on two of the best anitibiotics known to man and required emergency surgery to removed the band. I then spent the next two months out of work on hardcore oral antibiotics treating a staph infection that nearly killed me. Do not ever make assumptions or accusations that you know everything about what some of us went through. If you are just starting trouble because of your own insecurities take it somewhere else because some of us actually use this site as a portion of our continued support. Sorry for the rant but I could not keep that in. I went forward with bypass surgery andbhad it oct 3rd 2016. I will keep you all posted on how it goes.
