Ok so I know its a little TMI but I haven't gone "#2" for 10 days now. I read on the previous forums that this may be pretty common but i just wanna make sure that everything is still ok. Also, since I haven't "#2'd" I have gained a total of 4 lbs. What am I doing wrong? I am now currently on my 2nd stage diet and eating soft foods. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance...

Thank you for the advise. I have talked to my DR finally and he did say that on some occasions, this can occur to patients whose had WLS. He also said, that just because it happens pretty often, it doesn't mean that we are to IGNORE it.! He even gave me kuddos for at least trying something. He has advised me to try some enema and magnesium citrate and has instructed me to contact him again if that does not work..

Thanx everyone... that egg lady is amazing.! I am definitely falling in love with her. Anyways, what about pasta (spaghetti or fettucini)? What about for breakfast? I am going on a trip to San Francisco next week and will be staying at a hotel with some friends. Any tip on what types of foods I can order on different restaurants??

Ok.. So I got sleeved on Aug 16th and has been on Phase I liquid diet since then. I am about to start my Phase II diet in a few days and the DR told me that everything I eat should either be soft or mushed. He gave me examples such as; Scrambled eggs, Soft Fish, Tofu, Plain Yogurt and vegetables that are well cooked and mashed or pureed. I was wondering if anyone can share here their own list of what they were allowed to eat on their Phase II diet or if anyone can share what they actually started eating i.e.; shrimp, seafood etc. I have done some researches online on what I am allowed to eat on this phase but it pretty much gave me the same list. THANX in advance...

My surgery date is on the 16th which is this Tuesday.. in 2 days! Im starting to really freak out. I have been cheating on my diet and have only been doing 2 Protein shakes a day and one meal. I'm scared that I may end up having complications during surgery because of what I have been doing. Does anyone have suggestions? I have really been looking forward for this surgery for so long but now that it is actually near I'm getting more scared. Does anyone know what type of complications is possible for someone who has been eating the 2 weeks they were supposed to be on liquid diet? I have lost 7 lbs d past 2 weeks but I'm still scared of the possible complications? ' Should I just cancel or postpone my surgery? HELP!!!

My surgery is on Aug 16th..!!!

Thanks everyone..! You are all Great..! You guys have no idea how much help this is for me! If I can only give each one of u a hug, I would.! lol Again, Thanks so much.!

Thanks for the fast response @ Raine and Indymom... I'm actually thinking of calling my surgeons office tomorrow morning and telling them about it. I'm just concerned because I know for a fact that the next available surgery date for me will not be until last week of September, meaning I will have to wait another 6 weeks for it.
