I have a coccyx cushion on my chair my work office chair the car and I had one in the bed but I got a memory foam mattress topper and it's pretty good. I wondered if being so big actually bent it because man does it get painful! Sent from my SM-G970F using BariatricPal mobile app

I had postural drop after surgery every time I stood up it dropped. Once the took me off the bp meds it was a lot better Sent from my SM-G970F using BariatricPal mobile app

I have had more constipation myself and became lactose intolerant which is only now resolving. Maybe something you are drinking on the liquid phase bit of dumping syndrome maybe Sent from my SM-G970F using BariatricPal mobile app

I like the McKenzies Lentils Freekeh and beans in a salad Sent from my SM-G970F using BariatricPal mobile app

Low carb high protein can leave an unpleasant taste. When I was on the Optifast Shakes Pre surgery I always felt like my teeth and tongue were both furry no matter how much I brushed Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the injections at home for a week before and a week after. The only smell I've noticed is when I go to the bathroom I can tell what I've eaten lol with the Vitamins I know Vit B has a strong smell so I get Vit B injections now no smell Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok so I'm taking the plunge. This is my first progress pic side by side. I had an RNY bypass in August 17 so 10 months and a bit before on my own. My start weight was 187kg and size 32. Now 87kg and size 16. 100kg lost feels pretty good. Next is skin! Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was 57 when I had my RNY bypass. I can't say it has been without complications but each one has been dealt with as its come up. On a positive note I have lost 200lbs in 9 months so the surgery itself has been a great success and nothing was age related. I am not longer diabetic no longer have high blood pressure and have gone from size 32 - 18 Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

If it's very dark it can mean dehydration but can also be a sign of kidney stones. Mine went very brown looked like coffee or Cola. Maybe it needs checked Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had so many adhesions that it took to surgeon Two and a half hours to break through them and he was almost at the point where he was going to open me the old way but he finally got through and completed the bypass and repaired a hiatus hernia and did a partial gastrectomy all laproscopically so don't give up. It took six and a half hours but it was done and I have lost 93kg in nine months Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

My tailbone hurts too. I bought a gel cushion and a round bolster and even that's not enough sometimes it's a pain in the a** literally Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm am four months out and diagnosed with an ulcer and a swollen bile duct. I don't have a gallbladder anymore but they said a stone or slush could be in the duct and that's a tricky one to get to do that's a wait and see. I also had kidney stones week seven and had three surgeries for that. But on the bright side I've lost over 110lbs in four months Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

Glad to read you BP is normal again. Just be careful of standing up too quickly. I had some issues with postural drop meaning if I did stand to fast the BP dropped really low. I've had the meds reduced twice in four months which is great. I stopped diabetes meds the day before surgery and never needed them again. I hope e everything is going well Em 1 Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app
