I feel the same way, I take A stool softener every night, use Miralax or prune juice every couple of days. I buy the enemas by the 6 pack! Try to drink more water. I’m almost 2 months out.

I had Mine May 16th. Things are going slow. I have lost almost 30 pounds. I had mine for medical reasons. My starting weight was 200, but I’m only 5’1”. How about you?

My stomach was really bloated for the 1st 4 weeks or so. I was so constipated. I now take a stool softener every day & have Metamucil every other day. I’m 6 weeks out now & I have finaly been feeling well enough to do more. I had A RNY.

I sleep with mine every night so my husband doesn’t hit🤣

I have Slept with a Cpap for over 12 years. Put it on every night. It takes some getting use to, but I find that most people aren’t persistent & give up on it to easily & too soon.

I’m 6 weeks out from my RNY & just now starting to have hunger/fullness feelings. I think our bodies are just in shock from what we just put them through & they don’t know how to feel yet!

I miss straws! I had back surgery 5 years ago & I got used to drinking from a cup with a lid & a straw. I have gas & bloating so bad I don’t want to add anymore air into my system. I also miss making protein shakes in my Nutribullett. Is seems to make the shake too airy & I get more bloated!

Did your doctor use staples or stitches to close you up & how many openings did he make? I have 7 openings including the one from the drain and he used staples! I’m not to happy about that! I have had 5 surgeries in my abdominal region & have never been closed with staples! Toodles, Rue

I’m constipated all the time! That’s my new normal. I’m only 6 weeks out so I’m not eating a variety of foods yet, I’m too scared to do that. I just keep taking stool softeners & Miralax which takes a couple of days to work.

I too have an uncontrollable sweet tooth. I had a RNY a month ago. I constantly have to over come the temptation to not eat sugar! I have to to remind myself “Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels!” It’s my new mantra. I’m just tired of being chubby. I can feel my body getting worse from extra weight. I want to feel better, I wanna get out and do things! I’m tired of sitting on the couch! I guess you have to get to that point yourself & decide what is important to you. Maybe your not ready to make that big of a change.

Wow. How miserable you must be! I hope you get some answers soon !

I break my Norco pills in 1/2 with my fingers. They are oblong.

I was like that the first 2 weeks. Now I at one month out I just have the nausea & I’m tired if I have done too much the day before. When was your surgery?

I felt the same way today in my jeans!

I feel ya, I have been taking 2 stool softeners a day, Miralax & enema. Nurse told me it could take 2-3 days for it to start working

Could you have a sinus or ear infection? You might be Anemic.

We went to the movies tonight (1st time post op) I bought a bottle of water & added an Isagenix Hydrate pack to it to drink. I didn’t sit between my husband & daughter because I didn’t want to popcorn being passed over me!

Once you get your insurance going see if they have a nurse or dietitian that you can talk to. We have Cigna & they have been so helpful especially the dietitian!

I’m miserable too! I have been taking colace for about 5 days & using enemas. Started Mirlax yesterday.

Amazing! It must feel so good to not have that extra skin handing down! I dream of that day!

I’m 17 days out & feel the same way! I can tell that I have lost weight in my sides but my stomach is all bloated! I’m taking GasX 4 times a day. I also feel constipated most of the time. Started stool softens this week.

I had my surgery May 16th. I lost 11 pounds at my 2 week appointment. I had a RNY to fix my Fundalupacation that had come undone, repair my hiatal hernia that was way worse then he thought. At the 2 week appointment he told me that he didn’t use as much intestine as a regular RNY and my stomach is bigger that a true RNY! Now I’m mad! I go through all of this and I might not loose as much weight! But I’m still determined to get to my goal weigh!

I called It my “farewell to food tour”. There are some that I didn’t get to say goodbye to but that’s life.

If you are 3 weeks out your body is still traumatized from the surgery. Maybe you’re doing too much. Please see a threrapist. Besides working on your body you need to work on your head too. Taking antidepressants doesn’t make your problems go away, they just help you deal with them better. Toodles, Rue
