Could you send me more information and rules. asksheckles12@gmail.com Thanks!

I am so thankful to have found this post. I am literally in the same boat as you. I am 9m post op and down 61lbs. I seriously feel and do exactly as your post. I just emailed my doctor tonight for guidance.

I had pain between my boobs at the top of my stomach Friday night. It almost feels like someone is pulling me apart and burns a little bit. It went away in about 30 minutes. It just started doing it again today. I am calling the doctor tomorrow, but has anyone ever had similar issues. I'm afraid of an ulcer and not sure what one would feel like. Has anyone had an ulcer post-op and if so what symptoms did you have.

Ow does everyone get all the water in? I try and can't do it because I either forget or feel to full to drink. I managed to get 45oz today and that's a good day for me.

I keep having constipation off and on. I have 5 weeks post op and its frustrating. I take 300 mg of stool softners daily. I use miralax when constipated and used enemas and had no luck. I eventually just went on m own. This is probably my biggest frustration since surgery.

I was sleeved on May 13th and I have done great till this past week. It seems like I am fighting myself on what I know is right for me. I have ate things from a phase that I'm not on yet (my doctor has 6 phases and I am on 4). Tonight I went to Taco Bell and got a chicken quesadilla and ate 3 of the 4 triangles. I thought I was going to die bc it hurt so bad! I have wanted soda all week and I've been soda free since Feb. I don't understand why I am feeling or acting on these impulses. I have noticed that I am picking at things outside of my 3 meals a day. Today I felt like I was starving and nothing satisfied my hunger. I am feeling a bit down and afraid my surgery is going to be a fail bc I messed it up.

Btw I only used pepperoni and mushrooms because I can't have some of the other toppings yet.

I actually made this last night for dinner. At first I didn't think there was enough to cover the bottom of the pan, but there was plenty. It was amazingly good!! I am 6 weeks post op and love pizza. I didn't have a hard time with it at all.

Starting weight.. 374 Surgery weight.. 341 Current weight.. 316 Sleeved May 13th

Well my prune/apple mix didn't work and neither did the enema this morning. I am seriously about to throw the towel in. I drank 4oz of miralax about an hour ago. I'm giving it till tonight and then going to the hospital I guess. This is the only issue I am having after surgery and its starting to make me regret it and I don't want to be that way.

I had this issue two weeks ago and then was fine and now dealing with it again. I'm frustrated to the max! I take 200mg of a stool softners and miralax once a day. Tonight I drank a prune/ apple juice mix and hope to see some results.

I'm 20 days post-op and have only lost 15 lbs. The first week I lost 13 and the last two I have lost a total of 2. Really getting frustrated with myself. I don't regret the surgery, but sometimes I think "why the hell can't I eat what I want if I'm not losing and it's a stupid choice". The plus side is my diabetes is under control and that usually makes me see the bright side. What can I do to lose weight? I'm tired of being told "it don't just fall off" and I'm aware. I have lost a total of 50lbs since Feb and I worked hard to get the first 35 off!

Has anyone had problems with constipation? I am 15 days out and stupid me wasn't paying attention to my body. I have gone 7 days without a bm. I started taking stool softners 3 days ago and miralax 2 days ago. I called the doctor today and they said try an enema. Did that tonight with really no success. I have to call again in the morning to see what's next. I have increased my fluid intake to also try and help. I feel so stupid because I work in healthcare and know the norms. I don't see how I didn't notice. To top it off I've not dropped a lb in the last week.

K8ee... I am two weeks post op and lost 14lbs and nothing more. 13 was from week 1. I was freaking out a little myself.

I emailed my doctor the pic and they said I am fine. They said the glue came off early and that's why it looks the way it does. They said the "puss" looking stuff is what they call fluff and my body is healing. They said not to worry unless it becomes warm to touch and drainage can be wiped away.
