I had the same problem after my surgery and for about 1.5 months after. Check with your doctor to see if been fiber is ok to take (my guess is yes as that's what mine recommended) it worked great for me. It has no flavor, dissolves completely. I add two teaspoons to each 8oz of water and have not had any issues since. Do not strain though -

Let me first say, you look amazing! Keep up the great work! I was sleeved in February and at about Month 3, found my appetite really getting larger. I am still eating a lot of protein 4-8 oz per meal but lately also saw a jump in my carbs. I got pretty lax over the past week (holiday cookouts) and didn't exercise as much and ended up gaining about 5 lbs. everyone is different so I would suggest just monitoring your macros to make sure your staying in the right nutritional zones set by your doc. And make sure to keep moving.

What do we need!?
sleevinpops replied to Becoming_Me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A really good pair of sneakers. after surgery you should start walking as it will help not only to help the continued weight loss, but also really helps to move the gas and heal your body. I also would suggest a Fitbit or some other pedometer, to track your steps and motivate you to keep active. This has been a HUGE help to keeping me moving. Good luck! -
You shouldn't be concerned as you are still healing and your body needs to catch up. Make sure to follow your nutritionists recommendations and also try tracking your macro nutrients to keep within the plan. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint. You got this!

Quitting smoking was the most difficult part of the journey for me. Take it one day at a time, drink lots of water and take a walk instead. After the first day, assess what went well and identify where the challenges wee so you can plan a strategy to get through the next situation for craving. It takes 21 days to fully clear your system of the nicotene, so just take it one day at a time. I'm happy to say that not only am I down about 60 lbs since my surgery, but have been smoke free for over 6 months now! Keep strong, you can do it!

3 days post op
sleevinpops replied to Ready4aNewStart's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The weight gain is from the fluids pumped in for surgery as well as swelling from surgery. He best advice that I was given and seemed to work great was keep walking. It helps to move and expel the gas while promoting healing. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!
