Greenstar replied to thelostmermaid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was told smooth move tea or benefiber. i also had a lot of black tar like stool, i was told it was old blood and not to worry. few days passed and it got cleaned out. but i have had regular movements with this benefiber on the go taste free. -
What do I bring to the hospital?
Greenstar replied to awils126's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i brought slippers, sweatpants, phone and phone charger. the hospital provided toothbrush and tooth paste. they gave me non slip socks and a gown. but a phone and charger would be the main thing. oh your id, credit card to pay for it, and insurance card. -
I just got mine, and i can tell you i have never felt full until i got this surgery. im still on my liquid diet, and i can only get down an 8oz shake before im like bursting. try eating more protein. i was told not to drink water 30 minutes before, during, and 30 minutes after eating or else it would stretch out the stomach.
