SW 256 Surgery date April 29 CW173 83lb lost. The weight has been coming off super slow over the past few months. 8lb to go until goal weight. Cravings are back. I have to keep myself busy so not to focus on them. Ill make it eventually.

Im an endoscopy nurse and I do think it could be a fecal compaction. Sometimes when we have a fixed compaction you actually have runny diarrhea around the impaction. My guess is that you have been on some pain meds post surgery, which led to the impaction. Because you have a fainting reflex followed by the urge defecate sounds like a vagal reaction, also caused by impaction. You need IV fluids simply because its been more than 24 hours since any significant fluid intake. Your insurance should cover the charges simply due to dehyration, even if its not impaction causing the problem, my guess they will scope you while your their anyway.

My guess is its just been a while, if it continues I would be concerned.

4/29 No preop diet, SW-258, CW196. While I am thrilled to have lost 62 lb I really do wish it would be a little more. My goal is 80 lb by seven months out and the rest is cake! I am thrilled to have a BMI of 29 now, the first time in a very long time not to be in the obese category. Im getting in 1000 cals a day, every now and then I go over, usually on Sundays when I cook for my family all day. Im starting to want some sweets again, although now I am much more sucessfull at fighting off temptaion. Averaging around 2 lb per week now.

I actually stopped working out with weights a few weeks ago because the weight was coming off so slowly. The loss has picked up again. It is because you are building so much muscle. I am also able to contain my calories much better without using weights, and am not so exhausted all day after my workout. I am sticking strictly to cardio now and will focus on weight training a little closer to goal. I know with my common sense mind the weight training is a good thing and I should keep it up for best results in the long run. However when you have struggled with weight for so long, you really just want to see those numbers drop. I feel as long as I stay committed to cardio I am good.

I love Spark by Advocare (fruit punch flavor, yum). Each 8 oz drink has 750% of your B12 and B6, with amino acids to help with focus power. It definately works. I feel an energy rush immediately and lasts a long time. You can have up to 2 per day. I usually just need one about 2 o'clock, along with a good cup of coffee about 8am and I am set. I have friends who have replaced their morning with coffee, I just cant do it. It would be perfect for those still in the healing stage.

I gained a few but noticed I had not had a BM in a few days. Well it all came out today and I was actually weigjed a couple less. Gross I know, but there it is.
