Ive been through the samething and it makes the day so long. You should be happy you're losing weight, but there's no fireworks. But it will get better once your body settles down. I started celebrating my weight-loss by being more active, doing things my lazy ass wouldn't do, and its real energizing. Dont do meds pls. Its so more satisfying when you can control your own mind and push yourself forward. Im still a work in progress, but my mind is already at ease, with a lighter body. Slowly but surely. Let's go!

kennyranking replied to Hihilaryy's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I tried everything and after 6 days, still no result. Im from the caribbean, a friend gave me a dragonfruit, told me to puree it, and within half an hour everything came out. Now whenever i feel like its taking to long to come out, i eat some Dragonfruit and it will do its thing Sent from my LG-H910 using BariatricPal mobile app -
TMI - Poop and hemorrhoids
kennyranking replied to SleeveinIL's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
After surgery i got constipation and got hemeroids. I used the well known hemeroid creams, but they would just relieve the symptoms, i could still feel the bumps. I was using CBD cream for my knees, and just tried it for the hemeroids. Within 3 days they disappeared and all the pain was gone! So freaking happy that stuff is gone. Try it!

im from the caribbean and its always hot as hell. i always turn up the airconditioning sky high everywhere. my collegues would go crazy. after the surgery, that all switched. im asking them to lower the AC, i drive windows a little bit open in the car, no more AC, and at home i just turn on the AC for an hour to get things cool and then turn it of cause i would be freezing . afterloosing about 120 pund, i have less bodyfat to keep me warm too lol. it saves me ton of money on the electric boll tho

HELP! I Can’t Pass Gas!
kennyranking replied to Southern Buns's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it took me 5 days to go to the toilet. just remember your intake of food right now is not enough for your body to say 'i need to release this'. when it feel like it has too, you will get the urge -
they all dry my mouth out, so nasty before my surgery i went a year without using sugar. it eventually changed my tastebuds to the point where i just tried to avoid anything sweet. now with all these shakes, these are so sweet i dont want to take them. any suggestions?

i feel you in every sense. you can be prepared all you want, but when it hits, its tougher to deal with. the regret part is kickin in right now, but i keep reminding me of the results i already maid, thinking about the benifits loosing all the weight is going to give me, less chances of healthrisks like heart troubles, diabetes etc, the amount of years you can live longer with your kids and partner etc. tune into the bigger picture and it will keep you a litte bit more positive. hang in there, im trying too -
Constipation to the max - two a&e visits
kennyranking replied to myfanwymoi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
im a month out, everything was going good, until i was wondering why i didnt go to the bathroom after 3 days. still on the liquid diet. 4th day bloating started, 5th day it got worse and i got scared to eat. 6th day i took milk of magnesia, 7th day when i woke up, i got the urge and let out a whole anaconda. such a releive day 8, full of gas and feels the same as the anaconda. i keep drinking ginger tea, drink water whole day, probiotic prume yoghurt fat free, boillon etc, walking, doing yoga moves, massage y belly, but its staying in once every 3 hours a little wind will come out, but i burp the whole day through. its frustrating as hell, but the surgeon keeps saying, just keep up the things you are doing right now, and it shall pass. i realy hope so -
With the biotene, it says uou have to brush first, then use it, right?

Im wondering the same thing. Anything from protein shakes, Ensure etc, will dry my mouth instantly. I just rinse my mouth with water which helps a little, that was the only suggestion my doctor gave.

Weed, Marijuana, Pot
kennyranking replied to michy_hk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Anything smoke related can cause them, and i do not now where the vaping stands. Thats why im asking. I read people in here smoking having fun and saying no ill effect, but ulcers is a thing you cant see coming, and develop overtime without you knowing it. Thats why i want to know, cause i like the vape option, if it's safe tho -

Smoking increases your risk of experiencing the following surgical complications: Blood clots Pneumonia Marginal ulcers Surgical wound infection Smokers have almost a 30 percent complication rate after weight loss surgery, which is astoundingly higher than the surgical complication rate for non-smokers. https://www.flowersbariatriccenter.com/patient-resources/preparing-for-bariatric-surgery/why-it-matters-to-stop-smoking-after-weight-loss-surgery/ -

My question is, if you vape, can it cause bleeding ulcers? -

kennyranking replied to michy_hk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
im from the caribbean, and smoke methods are not realy discussed with the surgeons here, they are not realy informed. i read up here on the vaping which seems a good option, but i cant get a rea answer if the vaping, the inhalation, also can cause bleeding ulsers if you vape regurarly. regular smoking, tobacco or ganja, can cause bleeding ulsers i keep reading everywhere. if you have an answer on that from your surgeon, that would be nice -
