I'm finally regular and after a lot of trials of milk if mag, smooth move tea, dulcolax etc..... I found my combo for my body. I take 2 colace stool softener twice a day and benefiber twice a day. You'll find that everyone's body is a bit different and responds (or doesn't respond) to remedies. Just need to do the trial and error until you find the right fit for you.

Super Nurses With Sleeves (Support Group)
Justajenn replied to Need-a-Sleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey everyone! I just got my results for my 3 month labs and they are looking awesome! My protein, b, etc...are all normal and my A1c is downtown 5.5!!!!! Only wacky thing was my thyroid is a little hyper but just barely so we will recheck in 6 weeks. So happy with this decision and down 56 pounds so far! -

I love the grape. Buy it by the case. They are different for everyone. My boyfriend hates the grape and loves the pineapple one. I couldn't even get myself to swallow that one. Lol.

Oh good! Thanks! No issues so no problem.

I haven't done a pouch test either. I've seen people talk about but don't quite understand the why part of it but I'm still new at this. I had mine done in Mexico too but with dr Ariel Ortiz. It was an awesome experience. You meet a lot of great people from all over.

It's been great I'm done 50 pounds so far. Sitting at a stall right now which is very frustrating though. Who is doing your surgery?

I'm in the tricities! I was sleeved January 23rd

I waited about 3 months for my first drink and had it with my friends so if I did not go well they would take care of me (we are all nurses). I mixed some flavored vodka with my vitamin zero water. It was probably weaker then a pre surgery drink but it was yummy. I had three of them and not even a buzz. I made sure I ate some good protein before hand so I wouldn't be tempted to snack on all the goodies surrounding me too. All went well

Ladies! Pain Levels post-op
Justajenn replied to windeedae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nothing like my c section. I had some gas discomfort that gas x took care of and after my first day back to work (5 days post op) I had muscle soreness but tylenol took care of that. -
Alcohol - effects and wait time
Justajenn replied to twinhappy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've drank once since surgery but I'm only a few months out. It was a couple of weeks ago and I had some vodka mixed with my vitamin zero water. I had a couple drinks and didn't even get buzzed. I was probably really light on the vodka because I was worried how I would react but it was no biggie. -

Physically demanding job. Is two weeks off enough?
Justajenn replied to JudyQ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a RN on a busy hospital unit so lots of running etc.. For 12-13 hour shifts. I had my surgery on a Friday and went back to work on Wednesday. The girls I work with helped me with my lifting the first couple shifts then I was good after that. I was sore like I did a good workout after the second day but I was fine. -

I drink isopure, vitamin zero water and propel. Loved plain water before hand but not so much after. -

Please Help! Throwing up blood? Just hours post op
Justajenn replied to vsgSarah3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same issue. I had to stay a little longer because of it. I think My issue was the toradol. Every time they gave it to me in my IV I started vomiting. It was dark red too. I am a huge weenie with meds.
