When did y'all have your first bowel movement after surgery??
lisaBme replied to Jrayeb93's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor said to do whatever I needed to so I can go. I had to do 2 Colace in the am and 2 in the pm, and Miralax at night. -
I'm gaining weight now now 7 weeks out
lisaBme replied to crosbyp12003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's just a different scale. For accuracy, is the same scale. My home scale is 10 lbs different from my doctor. Don't sweat it. -

lisaBme replied to Jrayeb93's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's a never ending problem. -
That is probably where the surgeon inserted the largest instrument. It's the most painful, and takes the longest to heal. Roll to your side before you sit up.

Post op pain is pretty severe. Once you get past that it is painful to roll on your side and coughing or sneezing kills! BUT you will be so glad you did it!

Cigna approved quickly for me.

2 Colace and Miralax every night. Enema if you have to. -
I have one, but haven't used it! Didn't even read it until just now! When have you had to use it? Sent from my Nexus 7 using the BariatricPal App

6 weeks out/32 pounds down
lisaBme replied to lisaBme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good to know I'm on track! -
My doc told me to do whatever I needed to to keep things moving. I take 2 Colace every night and Miralax with water. I also take Mirafiber in the morning. It sucks, I KNOW!

Confused. (Thinking to back out)
lisaBme replied to nb660's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Let's face it, everyone loved going out to eat with us!! Eating is definitely not as much fun as it used to be, but it's time for new fun. -
Honesty hour: need help
lisaBme replied to AshleyinOnederland's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had things earlier than scheduled, just be careful and only once in a while. -
Don't tell people if you aren't willing to hear their negativity. I told my husband, kids and 2 close friends. Nobody else because I wanted to go in with a positive mind set. I have a 2nd cousin who almost died from bypass and is now on disability. I still needed to do this for ME. I'm so glad I did! Since day after surgery no BP meds after 23 years of them!

Cardio exercise 150-250 minutes per week is what I was told.
