I got through using sugar free Popsicles. Weird but they worked for me.

I consume about 500 per day which I think is too low but can't help it. You?

I'm sorry. I know it's gross. I'm in Mexico and have horrible cramps and then a blood and a bit of waste passes. Help! I'm stuck in the jungle.

They gave me an intestinal antispasmodic, an immotiam type drug and probiotics. Clear liquids for 12 hours. What a way to drop another 2 lbs! Thanks to all!

Problem pinpointed. I had a dumping syndrome incident hours before the blood starting to pass. It seems I've injured a portion of intestine with undigested food. It's still going on 24 hours later. I have meds now. Wish me luck and thanks for the support.

Well... my first complication, 4 weeks post op today. Last night, about 2 hours after dinner, I had massive stomach cramps and the resulting diarrhea! Yuck! I thought it was a one time thing and today, 2 hours after lunch... here goes again! I have only had 2 oz. baked tilapia, and .25 cups steamed broccoli. I read this could be cronic... Suggestions???

I also feel great! Not one problem!!

All because some of us do not have a BMi of 50 doesn't mean we need any less support and understanding of our journey.

So surprised at how well I feel, bored, but good. I'm getting the staples out today and hopefully will not fell like such a prisoner. I have had ZERO tolerance problems. (rebelled and had a bite of my husbands scrambles eggs. No problem). Sticking to the blended program for about another 4 weeks and then good to go. I'm having one problem... I hope I know when I'm full. I feel like I'm always wanting more at the moment. Thank all for this forum it has been beyond helpful!!!

I wish I wouldn't have told so many. It's like I cheated or something. Sorry, having someone remove part of my stomach on purpose sure feels the opposite of cheating.

My BMi was 32 preop diet and only 30.7 the day of surgery. I wasn't told anything different than we will loose weight slower. I feel great. I'm 8 days post op!

If you can't vent here... where can you. I'm so sorry you have had such a rough time. Doctors can be real jerks. I wish I had something more helpful to say. At this point the last thing I would worry about is the 2 lbs you gained. The ONLY think I would worry about now... is feeling human again!!! I say call and kick and scream until someone listens.... Good luck and vent any time you want!

Walk walk walk and gasx!!

I so know the feeling. The no salt cream of chicken soup just doesn't do it. Have to think long term though. I put a little salt in my soup and it kind of helped! Good luck and be careful!!!

Ive always been hot natured, keeping the thermostat at 68 degrees. Now... I'm freezing unless the temp is above 75. Am I low on iron?

I'm 4 days post op and feel the same way. Thx, it is nice actually!

I lost 7 lbs pre op and 5 lbs post op! Surgery was 9/26 so I'm 4 days out. I'm totally excited as well. I'm sore, but that is my only complaint. I'll keep in touch with your progress. Congratulation!

I was also sleeved on 9/26. I'm excited to see your progress. Sorry about all the complications. Glad you are home. I'm extremely bloated and don't dare weigh myself for till I go to the dr. on Friday 10/4. Good Luck!!!

I'm 3 days post op and totally swollen. Any advise?

I feel great except for a little soar and swollen in stomach area. How long does the soarness last?

Wow! Congrats!!!!!!

Having surgery day after tomorrow. I'm so emotional. I rescued a dog in the street today and started crying for no reason! I'm also listening to sad music!!! I guess this is supposed to be normal from what I hear!!! Hang in there!!! I AM!

I started at a 32.2 BMI. I'm lost 6 lbs on the pre-op diet and am now at 31.3. If I loose 7 more lbs, I will be at 30. Do you think they will still do the surgery which is scheduled for 9/26/13, this Thursday?

I thought there was senna in smooth move?

Thanks. I'm self pay. So I hope I'm ok.
