It hurts so bad and I feel like I’m ripping something every time [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] 6 days post op. Am I okay/is it okay to cough???

Early evening yesterday I had my first bowel movement it was a tan/white color. Late evening I coughed and swore I ripped something on the inside but surgeon said as long as the outside is fine I am fine. This morning I pooped again but this time it was the darkest green almost black... Is this normal? 5 days post op.

Good luck! I hope that’ll change for you too

Right!!! Same exact here!

Oh yeah!!! I’m still terrified of busting a staple or dumping so I’m following everything to a T, except today I took 15ml milk of mag and I think I had a slight dump from that.. sweats nausea felt like I was either going to be sick or use the bathroom, I’m afraid to try it again needless to say lol.

The come down for me was a breeze!! No nausea, no rambles, I slept! They kept waking me up and I kept telling them to leave me alone.

... and I’m feeling great!! Almost too great. liquid intake is good, no nausea, pain is manageable. If anything is scaring me a little it is my lower right incision that’s knotted and has a constant tugging sensation with some very mild bruising. Anyone else have a good post op experience? (RnY)

My elbows are a darker color, I’ve scrubbed, I’ve used fade lotions, I’ve tried every home remedy. It’s not dry caked on skin it’s just a pigmentation discoloration- to clarify. Did this go away after weight loss? Hoping it does because it only appeared after weight gain [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

Mine was 2 hours long. Hour and a half of talking and question asking, we just had casual conversation it felt like honestly. But her questions were about my child hood, my self image, how I problem solve, etc etc. then a half hour to take a questionnaire on paper that asked the same exact question in 10 different ways to make sure my answers lined up lol it was super annoying. That was mine. I’ve seen other people say they were in office for ten minutes, some said their psychiatrist required three base visits before determining if they pass or if they need more. It all depends so you’re not going to get a straight answer unless you find someone here who went to the same psych as you.

I’ll have to ask about it, that doesn’t sound right.

What’s your schedule with the 3 of calcium? Since it needs to be spread out by 500 at a time and not with the multi?

Ps- I quit cold turkey after being a pack/day smoker for 10 years. Your lousy one a day is just dumb to me honestly lol

Just don’t. If you only smoke once a day then what’s the point

I bought the tespo, I originally used patches, surgeon is making me buy his recommendation too and I still don’t know what the heck I actually want to do post op. I need the easiest regimen. What is yours? Picture of products, how much you spend monthly, and the schedule you take them on.. Also have synthroid to add in too and I think that is what’s stressing me out because I’ll prob have to take that in the middle of the night considering that can’t be taken with any form of iron or calcium.

Don’t stress!! Some people don’t have to do them [emoji18]
