Yea...I understand. I like they aren't milky...but it is sweet. I tend to just drink it and get it over with. I used to put ice in it cause colder the better, but then the ice melted and I had more to drink...it lasted forever. So I just get it done. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I decided to do twice the dose. The nurse said I could try it again. Definitely getting my fluids in today!! Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

6days stall...I'm at 7wks, constipation is just constant (and sorry guys) my period has lasted 15 days so far. I am a miserable emotional nutcase. Things are going to get better, right??? Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

HANG IN THERE! It will totally get better. I had my period for 3 months straight. No joke. I thought I was going to lose my MIND! I am nearly 5 months out & my period has stopped. It's still not normal but it's not everyday. Just hang in there. You're doing great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I hope it doesn't last that long...sigh. hormones suck. But good to know it gets better. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

So far it hasn't done a thing. Waiting by the bathroom, hoping it works. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

Called my dr for help on constipation....they told me to do everything I already have been. I finally did the enema deal...lots of fun...but it helped a bit, hopefully lots of Water, laxatives and stool softener will get me through this. It's so painful. Hard to be positive.

I drink fluids fine, but maybe the gummy fiber would be a good idea. Thanks! Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I'm just starting wk7....I try to walk 30min 5 out of 7 days a week. I get really tired, but it feels good after I accomplish it. I'm still a big girl, and I struggle with exercise. But everyone says it gets better. Day by day. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

By 6wks you should be able to swallow pills whole, I do it one pill at a time...I'm 7wks out. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I'm bipolar too. To be honest, I'm not sure. As far as digesting the meds, with the sleeve you still have a normal tract. Everything works the same. My dr and i aren't changing my meds for a while. My body's hormones and systems are all changing, so it's hard to see what is from what. I am checking in with my med dr once a month and she's checking in with my counselor. Just keep your support system right be hind you and take it day by day. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I had to come off birth control pills pre-op. Not looking forward to the PMS and miserable periods to come.I switched to an IUD...my dr thought it was a great alternative. It didn't effect anything to do with surgery and no chance of an oops pregnancy. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I just had my first period since surgery. Miserable...just heavy, crappy and moody. Hoping it gets better next time...only time will tell. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

It's been 5 days stall. Everyday same number. Makes me growl. I am going to take everyone's advice and ignore the big mean scale. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I am 6wks out...I should wait till next Tues for raw veggies...but I had them tonight...I cut a 1/2 baby cucumber into tiny pieces, cut up cherry tomatoes and added a little vinegar...I was in heaven! Ate very slow, went down fine. I take my diet very seriously. But this was a spirit booster...hey it's not a McDonald's burger!! Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I thought well steamed veggies were ok. Tried very well steamed, petite brussel sprouts.,...but after a couple...ouch. I feel it in shoulders and chest. All I can say is be careful when introducing foods back in to your diet. It seems safe...but oops! Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

6wks almost 7...I've done well with steamed everything, but you are probably right about brussel sprouts. My Dietitian didn't give me any rules other than steamed very well...I'll be more careful. I'm trying veggies cause I'm hungry so often, but trying to keep calories low and get some Fiber in. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I'm on 6wk...I eat one baby pickle as a treat once a day...I chew well, size is 1to2 ounces and too small for seed issues. It is just so good to taste something not bland! If I am wrong, I am wrong but it brightens my day. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I know exactly what you are going through. I was sleeved 8 22 16 and I'm always tired as well. Sometimes, It's tuff to even get my errands in. I am so happy to read I am not alone in this. Sent from my LGMS550 using the BariatricPal App Not alone, I struggle everyday. Frustrated. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I just wondered.... Anyone out there that is tired all the time. I eat Breakfast and do my meds, then weekdays I go for my 30min walk...once I'm done, I'm exhausted for the rest of the day. My bed time is 8p! When I have errands or soccer practice for my son...I'm so tired afterwards. Will this improve?? I read about everyone getting all this energy, when will I get some. I'm doing great on Protein, keeping fluids up and calories are where drs say...I just get tired so easily! Blah. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks...I try to keep up with the program! Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

Baby spoons, forks have helped me...I use tiny bowls too. It slows me right down. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I'm hungry all the time. I can fill my stomach, but it doesn't last long. my stomach growls and I feel it. I'm eating on a routine as much as possible, this helps. Meal, snack, meal, snack, meal....about 2hrs apart. Maybe that will help? Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

I'm loosing small too. But I just keep going. I thought the weight would just drop off and was really depressed about it. But I know now I have to work for it. scale numbers does not mean you aren't loosing, you body is changing, my clothes are bigger on me. Work on Protein and Water, it really helps, I know it's hard. I get frustrated too. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

At least I know I am not abnormal and it gets better. Thanks! Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App
