Not to be gross.. Does anyone have lots of diarrhea 6 days after surgery? Is it unusual?
Red_lips_and_confidence replied to birdie1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I havent had my sleeve yet but Ive talked to my dietitian about it and it could be from all the liquids your ingesting and no fiber, your body doesnt have anything with substance to you so basically what your taking in ) liquids) is coming out lol Then again theres other people who have the opp problem and cant use the bathroom.... I rather have the runs any day then dealing with that haha good luck hope this helped a little, it should clear itself up once you start to introduce fiber/solids into your diet -

@thetattooedlady Aw girl Im sure they will be fine. Just try to drink plenty of water and have a gradual weight loss not 100lbs over night! lol. I got my tats on my foot and wrist, places I knew wouldnt be effected once I lost weight and Im getting maybe a 3/4 sleeve or side piece once Im down to my goal weight because I worry about the same thing! But remember everyones bodies are different Im sure youll be fine and your beautiful tattoos will match your beautiful new smokin hot bod before ya know it -

@KAT... hahahahahaha thank you!!! :):) Even though im already fabulous being thick @jen Im glad your hair is growing back its my WORST FEAR on top of not being able to tolerate milk anymore ( my addiction) My hair is my identity its long and about medium thickness if i lose it I will probably shoot myself. ahh so nervous about that :-/ -
Smoothies anyone!?
Red_lips_and_confidence replied to Red_lips_and_confidence's topic in Food and Nutrition
Yeah I remember them saying to stay away from ice cream and slushies because you can eat more or it without getting full as quick so i wonder if i made my big smoothies wqith my protein in them if ill be able to get alot down still... if so that would be awesome! Hope I can so i can mix in veggies and my protein and not wanna puke for drinking more then a 1/2 cup worth at a time...guess we will see! -
So I gave up pop and slushies and found a new love! GREEN SMOOTHIES! What a green smoothie consists of is about 50% leafy greens (I use a hugeeee handful of fresh raw spinach leaves,about 40% frozen fruit like a 1/2 frozen banana and i use prepackaged frozen cut up fruit mixed ;mango,strawberries ,pineapples,peaches and the rest about three ice cubes,a little water/orange juice and wallah! Delicious! I get huge serving of fruit and veggies and I replace a meal:) it's helping me stay off of pop and other unhealthy habits because I feel like its bad for me. Drinking it cause its so satisfying hahaha! So for all of you out there needing to drop some bad habits pick up this one it's delicious an the recipes are endless! I'm two months away from my surgery and this is helping greatly with my pre op diet! If anyone has any suggestions and recipe a for smoothies they want to share please do I would love to try them!!!! ••Ashley••

Birth control AFTER surgery...
Red_lips_and_confidence replied to Red_lips_and_confidence's topic in The Gals' Room
oh whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol! -
So I went to my doctors yesterday and got on the subject of birth control. I originally started taking birth control because I have PCOS and thought it would control my symptoms and horrible headaches. Turns out it hasnt fixed my headaches and according to my doctor birth control is probably what is making my headaches WORSE. (JOY)..Im debating on after getting my surgery if I should go off of my birth control ( Ive been on it for over 2 years) Maybe it'll be good for my body? Im just worried about possibly gaining weight from the pill after being off of it for 2 months and getting back on ,. Also I never had a regular period until I went on BC cause Im over weight, but I wonder if my body will equal itself out from me losing weight gradually with the sleeve...then I worry about becoming extremely "fertile" (OH MY LANTA!!) That would be horrible haha...Is there any ladies out there who decided to stop taking the pill after the sleeve and had good results or vise versa?! Thanks gals

Birth control AFTER surgery...
Red_lips_and_confidence replied to Red_lips_and_confidence's topic in The Gals' Room
Yeah Im totally not getting an IUD put in thats why I wanted advice about the pill after surgery. Regardless I would still use two forms of protection (condoms/the pill) but Im just concerned about the gaining weight with the pill still idk what to do. I feel as if I should get off the pill and try it and see how my body reacts to it and be Extremely careful Im just not sure... hope someone see's this who's been there done that! -

I hear ya that would be HORRIBLE! -
Lmao girl I hear ya!!! I use to wear heels allllllllll the time when I was thinner ..now that Im "thick" I tell my boyfriend the reason I dont wear heels is because its winter and I dont do heels in the winter due to snow/ice and me being very accident prone. FALSE. I feel like a walrus balancing on tooth picks lmao cant wait to rock them again gracefully instead of fearing Im gonna break the heel in half ahahahahaha

Any ladies out there have PCOS put your hands up!
Red_lips_and_confidence replied to Red_lips_and_confidence's topic in The Gals' Room
Wow thank you ladies for all your input on my forum post and Im happy ( well not happy lol) that Im not the ONLY one going through this. I went to my doctors yesterday to get my release papers and a clearance for surgery and he wont give me them untill I get an MRI....Im nervous. I told him all my horrible headaches are from having PCOS but hes still making me go get one just incase...Just hope nothing serious delays me from getting cleared for the sleeve...but I guess its better to be safe than sorry...UHG cant wait to get sleeved and get this PCOS under control its complicating my life to the max * angry face* -
