Congrats to u teacherlady . I love the confidence u are possessing. A new journey begins and happiness can only become better

Hey guys I'm already ending my 3rd week post op and I'm usually a big gum chewer to help with the dryness in my mouth. Just wondering when is a good time to start chewing gum? It can be sugar free gum, I just rather chew on that when I know I'm not hungry and not forcing myself to eat which is worse. I have been sucking on mints to substitute the gum. But does anyone know when I can start ?

Ok great that makes me feel better and will ask thanks guys

So never again will I ever get a chance to have a piece of gum?

Omg old bridge is 5 min from me yay

Yay good for u

Lol like he doesn't want me to smoke cuz I had the surgery lol but it's ok for him to smoke which is unfair and ur right it's true when he smokes only makes me want to have one too. But yes my focus is my weight loss and trying to get as much fluids as I can, I'm still low but congrats Hun on ur success keep me posted with anything

Oh ok when I did smoke it would be no more than 4 cig sometimes only 2 a day I'm just afraid to go there again sucks my bf smokes and he forbids me to smoke

Yea I did on the 7 I was just wondering cuz u had smoked and I know smoking effects with healing so idk when will it be ok to do it . In reality I know it will never be ok but I would like to have atleast one with a drink lol

Yes it suppose to burn a little in the iv but it taste so bad went I had to take it orally

Did u have the surgery? How does it feel?

I know how u feel I sometimes crave a cig just a pull to be satisfied or a glass of my moscato not combo ugh

Count me in

It will be Hun think positive

Easy trick cuz my heart rate runs low. When u do another EKG talk during the test a little more to speed up ur heart rate

I take glycerin suppositories when I feel like u need to go instant because milk of mag just made me only past gas. But maybe a lax here or there can help as well just I will still consult with doc first cuz remember we are still healing so u should want something that will be compatible to ur stomach

Awesome news Crys i am can't to disagree. I am feeling better and better like I just want to be out an walk and just love life more. I'm excited for u and for ur weightloss. My next appt is Monday so hopefully I'm doing well with my loss I can feel it and see it. Well congrats again

Yea well with the advantage walking I've been doing errands and ur always going to be walking when u just get ur self active. Little by little u will be doing more the 15 min as u know it. I also am on the stage 2 diet it's def making me pass more gas haha but good luck Hun ur doing great as well

I feel the same way I'm only a week post op but I know for sure I am not getting me fluids in . I sometimes have to force myself to take atleast sips from the bottle to get in anything. But lately my mouth has been getting dry faster so I need to get those fluids in. I get worry when I know I know I'm not fully hydrated when I look at my urine and it's not clear. Just I am trying but I don't have the urge

Yea I crave melty cheese anything with cheese lol but it's true I would be sick if I tried a little slither cuz out bodies are not ready for it just yet but u are not alone

I'm a week and day post op already as well had surg on the 7 and feeling much better down 12 pds from yest weigh in . How is everyone doing in their journey ?

I got weighed in I'm 1 week post op and I'm already 12lbs down . Crazy feeling today was the first time to actually say I had a moment of hungerness but today was gas day mean I was letting it out freely no odor ofcourse but i was let loose. I walked more and less pain I'm actually very happy also with the fact cuz my diet change do I can eat more different and the weather is so beautifully helps a lot with getting my liquid intake going . Good luck everyone I am thankful for this app

Wat kind of herbal tea do u recommend ? I'm not much of a tea person but to get the stomach down I'm willing to do anything at this point
