    Awesome!!! Glad to hear so many of us North Carolinians are getting healthy!!! My surgery was July 3. Highest weight was 307 in January, 250 day of surgery and 215 today. I was a size 24 in January and a loose 18 now. My only strugles are chicken of any kind and constipation. I use miralax and colace to stay regular. Feeling fantastic!!!!!!

    Are you REALLY full?

    I am only 6 weekes out and I am testing the waters with foods daily. I have a list of thingd I can't tolerate right now and will try later. I get the same feeling when I eat dry meat as I dob if I take a bite too many. It is a miserable feeling. Throwing up is great compared to the pain in your chest. I personally have zero appetite and and even if it is really good food I struggle making sure I eat enough. I "overate"one time and im not even sure it wasnt more of a texture thing than too much food. Anothe biggoe is not drinking for atleast 30min-1hr after you eat so you dont stretch your stoma out and can have a full feeling after you eat.
  8. Yes.. more WF but yes. I had an awesome experience at Rex

    Constipation is a MOTHER!

    Im sorry. It is a miserable feeling. The great thinf about Miralax is it is gentle enough to use daily wothout making you dehydrated. I ended up after I manually disimpacted using a warm olive oil enema. I retained it for an hour ( abou a cup) and then emptoed before going to bed. When I got up the next morning what was left in threctum had broken down and was so much easoer to pass.

    Constipation is a MOTHER!

    Im a nurse and work for a GI practice. Uou can safely take Miralax up to 4 times a day if need be. I did not have any issues immediately following surgery and an impaction snuck up on me. I was taking colace 3 times a day. I had to manually disimpact my self use an enema after that and took Miralax 4 times a day for 2 days to get cleaned out. Now as maintenance I take it twice a day to stay regular.
  14. Its awesome to see some local people on here!
  15. I had mine done through Rex on July 3rd. Who are you doing yours through?
