It all depends on how far out from surgery you are. The protein, calcium and iron are constipating for me. My surgeon said no senna and to not go over 2 days without bm. The stool hardens if it sits in the lower colon/ rectum. Even using milk of magnesium, stool softeners I have to used Fleet enema to get it started then GI fine. I've felt like I was birthing a watermelon at times. Not fun. I would check with doctor to see what they recommend I always keep Fleet enemas on hand. -
acid reflux after gastric bypass?

It could. I would check with my doctor. We've gone through too much to mess it up with alcohol. I'm afraid to even have a glass if wine. -

You look awesome. I had my surgery 2/5/2013. I'm 5'10" & started at 245.5 I'm down 60 lbs 185.5. Plus I'm 61 yrs & need to exercise more. I have fibromyalgia therefore joint & muscle pain, but best decision I've made to have surgery. Only good things to come. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of so many clothes couple years ago when I thought I would never get into 14 or hopefully soon 12. Feels great guess I'll have to get new ones. -
Would do it in a heartbeat.

I had around 4 weeks & it turned out to be a stricture. Had stretched & so much better.

Not suppose to have any alcohol for 1 year after surgery. Can cause ulcers. -

I had stricture couldn't eat 2 bites without vomiting. Had stretched & made all the difference in the world. So much better. -
I had mine around 8 weeks, but probably started earlier since I was only doing liquids before. Two bites, pain, then had vomit - lot of foam. Even liquids got hard to take without vomiting. Felt bad very tired no energy. Thank God much better after dilated. Now no problem.

I'm 5'10" too. Had my surgery 2/5/13. I'm down 54 lbs. I need to exercise more. Also, I'm 61 which I think I lose slower because of my age. -
Sick and Dont want to eat...
macy1952 replied to coolnessa22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would take 2 bites of food or sometimes liquid & I would vomit. Really got bad I couldn't eat anything. Dr. said really not a complication 5% of patients would develop. I had it before surgery several years ago due to GERD. -
