Happy Mothers Day!
berniec replied to KevinsBabyGirl85's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I know that's your husband but you need to take some time for yourself. My sister is the SMS way. She does everything at her house. Her husband and son don't lift a finger to o anything. So now that he stopped doing something's her husband has a attitude. I wish you the best. -

Constipation After Surgery
berniec replied to crystalcdbailey's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm having a problem with constipation too. I'm not used to this. Before surgery I used to go 2 to 3 times a day. Now sometimes I don't go at all. I'm going to try the miralax because the stool softeners don't work. -
Welcome. Thank god I didn't have the gas. I was just very sore. I found that walking really helped.
-
Welcome aboard. This is a great bunch of people on this forum. I also had my surgery April 23rd.

I went in on a Monday and went home on Wednesday. I would've went home on tuesday but I had a fever. It depends on how the surgery goes. I would say 2 to 4 days. Good luck!

Gastric Bypass Surgery Progress Pictures
berniec replied to JustFluffy's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You ladies look awesome. -
I'm having the same problem. I'm just doing the best I can. I'm not going to worry about it. When I need a snack I usually have some turkey breast with a piece of low fat cheese rolled up. I've tried so many protein shakes its not funny.

Just Started On Soft Foods
berniec replied to KimW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds like your not chewing enough. As far as the bowel movement you might need more water or liquids. Good luck. Monday I will be three weeks post op. So at I am doing great. I haven't had any food or drink issues. I know I'm not getting all of my liquids and protein in but I'm trying very hard. -

Surgery Set Up For 5/21 Thinking Of Backing Out
berniec replied to john's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That's why I didn't tell many people. I did my research and there's more success stories than horror stories. You also have to realize that some people don't do what they are supposed to do. Then they won't to blame the doctor. -
Surgery Tomorrow ;-)
berniec replied to jessicamiller4889's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Glad your doing well. I don't know if I had a catheter or not. Which is good. I hate them things. -
I'm two weeks post op and my doctor said I could have coffee. I love coffee but my taste buds don't agree with me. After the surgery my taste buds have changed so much. Something's I used love I don't like anymore.

Congratulations!

Keep walking it will get better. Don't over do it. If you feel tired sit down. Remember you just had major surgery. My surgery was April 23rd. I didn't realize how out of shape i was. The more I walk the better I feel. Every couple of days I try to walk a little further. I'm actually down 30 pounds. I am so happy. Good luck on your recovery.

I had it. I didn't think of calling the doctor. I just scraped my tongue in the morning and at nite before I brushed. Eventually it went away.

I'll be praying for you. Tips for the hospital is to walk when you can. It helps with the gas and stops you from getting real stiff. Good luck tomorrow. -
