I'm drinking lots of water and taking Metamucil. I do not ever want to go through that again. On the upside? I lost 3 lbs after going!

Omg, I have never been so constipated in my life. Nothing is working. (Warning: TMI) I had to disimpact myself it was so bad. I feel awful. Does anyone else have constipation and how do you prevent it? I think I'm going back to liquids for awhile.
-
Holy cow! 106 lbs is amazing! Feel proud of yourself! I hit a stall about 2 weeks after surgery. I've put on half a pound here and there but it does come off. I know I need more exercise and apparently I need more water cause now I'm dealing with constipation. Fun.

I was sleeved on May 15. I've lost about 29 lbs. It's very discouraging to do what you're supposed to and put on half a pound. I don't understand why the weight isn't coming off faster like some stories I've read. Maybe I should have gone with the bypass but I was afraid of the malabsorption.
-
How in the world do you get so much water in? My intake is about half of what it used to be.

Thanks for the suggestions! I obviously need some fiber so maybe I'll start using the clear citrucel or Metamucil. I don't ever want this to happen again. I also need to drink more water. The fiber gummies sound good too.

A whole month? Ugh. Well I'm glad your body decided to behave itself. I'm starting to walk again so hopefully my stall won't last too long.

I was sleeved May 15. I've already hit my first stall!! It started when I was able to go to cream soups. Is this normal? I had to stop walking for about a week because I overdid it, so I'm hoping the weight loss will start again. I'm only down 13 lbs. it's discouraging because I'm not eating very much.

Pickle juice? I love pickles! I get heartburn every time I try and take my night medications. Wonder if I can drink pickle juice. After all, it is a clear liquid right?

You look amazing! I can't believe you're only 2 months out. And you don't have loose skin. I'm discouraged because my weight loss has already stalled 2 1/2 weeks in. How did you prevent the loose skin? -
I was told after surgery that I wouldn't be hungry at all. I am. It's not psychological hunger either. Does this go away? I had surgery on May 15.
-
Good to hear tootie! I'm 8 days out. I went to a restaurant tonight for the first time. I had a cream soup and I think it must have been a little rich for my stomach. Definitely couldn't eat much of it but my stomach stopped growling! Maybe I just need more substance to my food.
-
Oh my gosh, that is such a relief! It does feel like growling and gurgling.
-
I really don't think it's head hunger because my stomach growls and feels uncomfortable. I really don't like it and it's one of the reasons I chose this surgery over the others. Hunger has always been a big deal for me. I HATE being hungry. I am on an acid reducer.

Thanks! I'll try that.
