Anyone have partial blockage after surgery? Bypass on 8/1. About two weeks ago, was severely constipated but managed to evacuate most of my bowels though I felt it wasn't entirely. Since then I've had either diarrhea or string poop, so think there's still something blocking my bowels partially. Ugh this is gross! Anyhow I'm doing miralax three times a day and a suppository every couple of days. Smooth move tea too. Will this eventually work or do I just need to go to my gastroenterologist? I'd rather avoid that if possible but don't want to make myself sick.

Hi, I'm two days post op and my throat is killing me. I'm guessing it was the breathing tube. But I'm on tramadol so I don't get why it doesn't kill the pain? Anyone else have this?

Ignore the charts. Get a body dunk test.

Anyone else? I'm three_martini_lunch on IG if you want to buddy up!

That is smart!

Dude, I can't wait to add yogurt- still on shakes and water for another 9 days ugh. Not vits till then either. But I feel funny too, not quite right- but so much better than last week. I think getting to the pureed stage, losing the incisions patches, and being able to sleep on my side- that will be the end of the worst of it for me! I also want to quit the pain and nauseau meds but I'm afraid of how bad it might be!

How'd it go croco?

You do you, boo. Give yourself what you need.

Try consignment of your clothes post sz 10.

I feel ya. I had a very long dream about a fried fish sandwich last night.

You'll be proud of yourself, wait and see

Maybe it won't be just one thing, maybe it will be a bunch of things! You're going to get pushed out of your comfort zone. It's normal to feel sad, trust the change.

Yep, all three. Clearance was easy.

I kept it secret for a week then told everyone in the world. It's liberating. And I hate how effective wls is but no one talks about it, so maybe I can educate some people. Now, I don't know how I would make it without their support. My friends have been so amazing, it's strengthened my relationships. I'm lucky.

I have fear like that too. Both times I was assaulted, I was smaller. My plan is to take self defense classes. Maybe you could take up something that makes you feel strong?

I'm two days out and I've felt hunger and cravings- wtf??? How is it possible? Am I going to fail at this immediately??

I've been coating my crushed pills in kiddie Tylenol, helps some

I'm home too. First surgery ever. No prob with fluid or walking, def have gas. At what point should I be worried about having a bm? My friend got a stricture so I'm fixated on that.

Two alternatives- get a spiralizer and make your own zucchini noodles, and learn to cook spaghetti squash. It's not exactly the same but it's tasty healthy and low cal.

This so weird, who comes on a weight loss forum to trash talk someone???? How mean and bored are you?

My trainer today literally asked me if I'd consider working with a nutritionist instead. He got a really long email from me with assigned reading. I'm taking the approach of telling everyone and trying to educate them. I know so many people who would benefit from this but don't know about it, be no one talks about it!

Can y'all still take your meds normally? No change in dosage or type?

Hey, I'm in pre op process and I'm just curious what everyone's experience with pain was? I had an iud that was supposed to be a punch and damn near killed me- so I'm nervous.

Thank you that really helps.

One step at a time, it's a long road .
