I have this problem to. I am currently doing miralax at night. Ugh. I have never had this problem and I don't like it. My belly was starting to hurt and cramp and I didn't know what was happening until he asked..... How are you moving your bowels?! Duh, it was like a light bulb! Hang in there!

So I am 3 weeks out, surgeon told me I can eat and see what I can tolerate. I think I ate to much at a communion lunch. 3 shrimp, 2 bites of chicken, 2 bites of tomatoe and mozz cheese. Then 1/2 graham cracker in chocolate and a bite of cake. Plus 2 strawberries. Am I crazy?

I use Myoplex chocolate by EAS it has 42 grams power drink in 17 oz. sometimes I will also do the atkins at 15gr pet drink if I am below for the day at might for my snack.

My first day back was today. My surgeon had me out for 2 but I asked for am extra week because I was sore, he approved with no problem and I asked for light duty for a week this well and no problem there either. Talk to your doc, they would rather you be safe then sorry.

I just started introducing solid food and omg I an having a problem..... Lol

I found out today that I have a 40 french bougie? Is that big? What is it?

I would love to eat a hot dog with bun this summer.!

Thank you everyone. I was just curious about it.

My surgeon was/is Dr Louis Balsama in wash. Twp.

Okay got freaked out that out was alot and called my friend who is also a nutritionist, she said it was not alot over 4 hours and most of it was little bites. I didn't eat a piece of cake, took not even the end of a forkful, and they were cocktail shrimp, and the chicken was smaller then my thumb nail. Lol. Okay I feel better.... Lol

Thanks. I forgot to mention that this was over a 4 HOUR period of time! my sleeve doesn't hurt but I feel full. I guess now that I think about it over 4 hours that isn't so bad. Lol

No pain, just very full. My husband said to mention they are small shrimp and the chicken bites were so little to even mention but it seemed huge to me. So, it was less then 1/2 cup of f food

I am 3 weeks out and down 25 pounds, I don't notice a difference either however, I missed taking my daughter to gymnastics for the first week and when I went back this week the other moms couldn't believe how great I looked, our so they said. They see a huge difference. I don't because we look at our selves everyday. 43 pounds is huge and I an sure there is a noticeable difference. Great job! Keep it up and congrats!!!!!

Sorry it posted twice, damn phone...lol

I was on clear liquid for 1 week then full liquids. I saw my surgeon on monday and he told me to eat soft foods but to start eating to see what I can tolerate. My nutritionist told me 2 week clears, 2 week full liquid then 4 weeks mush. So, I do a little of everything. I typically will do a protein shake in the morning, lunch is usually tuna or chicken salad our egg salad with special k crackers another protein shake, then at dinner I will do a healthy choice which I can only do a few bites of or a white flaky fish. No pastas, no breads though. And I an afraid to do pizza, red meats and since chicken still. I do liquid like crystal light throughout the day. Apparently everyone is different.

I are with hadouni, it sounds like it could be your blood pressure is to low. Call your doctor and see if you can get a blood pressure check. I also agree with hydration. Make sure you are always drinking Water. Good luck!!!

I had my first nsv yesterday. My jeans that I had been wearing were way to big so I dug out the jeans I knew were in my closet ( the I know I will fit into these again one day jeans) they had been there for 3 YEARS! I put them on..... TOO BIG, they were falling off! They are 3 sizes smaller then pre surgery size! It felt amazing!!!!!!!!

I was sleeved on 4/11 saw my surgeon yesterday, I lost 22 pounds the first two weeks and I can't eat more then 1.5 oz of tuna or anything. I drink my water and protein. He said I was right on target. Also said to come back in 4 weeks and said I should be down another 20 to 30 pounds by then. Enjoy it! Your doing great. Just remember to sip, sip, sip so your hydrated. Good luck!!!!!

I saw the surgeon today and he said I was doing great. down 22 pounds and was cleared for trying new food. Said to start small and work up to chicken, meats. I an so thrilled and so was he with how great I healed and how great I feel!
