February/March 2014 sleevers
SuperFab replied to rebeccasams's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
In all honesty, I'd rather become dependent on them for the rest of my life than go through the pain I went through trying to poop. I'm talking blood. When you're like that it changes your views. Just remember that phentermine does affect your heart and you're just about to have major surgery. Be careful -

It took 3 softeners and FINALLY! But the next day I was constipated again. So 3 more. I think I'm gonna have to make it a daily thing. Odd thing is, since my gallbladder was removed in 08 I've ALWAYS had diarrhea. Bile acid diarrhea and regular diarrhea. And usually I'd be running for a restroom within minutes of eating. Now I'm the exact opposite. -

op is valentines day ive got the jitters
SuperFab replied to katieTC's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My surgery is Tuesday, the 18th. I do exactly as MegaBob. I'm focusing on excitement. Looking forward to the new changes in my life. When I start to let doubt or fears creep in, I slam the door on it. Worry will not change anything, but it will rob me of my excitement and I refuse to let it do that. April -

Ha! I just tagged u in a pic on FB. You'll find the humor in it -
There are ppl that are a year or more out that don't go up to that many calories. I see them usually around 800-900 at a yr out. I think you're in the right zone, but of course I'm no doc.

I contacted the bariatric center I wanted to go through. They had me watch one of their seminars. I then decided to go with them and they did all the rest for me. Set up appts with psych, nutritionist, etc -
Glad you're doing well. From what I've read, miralax and stool softeners. A lot of people recommend SMOOTH MOVE tea. And when it's at its worst, milk of magnesia. The first 3 are usually approved for continued, long term usage. April

That's awful. I'm so sorry. Are you able to get up and do your walking? I heard that helps. I hope you get to feeling better soon. (((Hugs)))

psychology evaluation today!
SuperFab replied to re14768's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to a bariatric center so I didn't have to find a separate psyche. I just used theirs. I'm bipolar and see a psych on a regular basis. Their psych said she'd approve me but wanted my personal psych to fax her a letter stating I was emotionally stable, etc. mine took about 4 days Bc of that wait. -

Well, welcome This place is full of excellent support and information. Lots of great people on here who will help you as much as possible. Right now some of us are on pre-op diets and we are trying to get through it as easily as possible. Lol -
I see a lot of people post about gummy vitamins. My Nut said I wasn't to take them Bc they are too sugary and some ppl do not readily absorb them in that form and they just come right out on their stools. Other people take them so I guess it just depends on if you doc's office ok'd them

Welcome! I'm sorry you had to start back at square one, I know it can be frustrating. But, I found that in the time it took me to get where I'm at I've learned so very much. Take this extra time to learn even more about your new lifestyle and the nutritional changes that will happen. There is a lot of support on this forum and we'll be here cheering you on. Good luck!!!

There are lots of threads on here about it. Seems that lots of people take stool softener a regularly and many use milk of magnesia.
