I can’t help with the pain or the getting fluids in but I used milk of magnesia to help me with the constipation. I then took soluable fiber daily to keep me regular without the meds.

I struggled with this at first too. I had to take milk of magnesia to get me to go and start on soluable fiber which I took every morning until I got Back to a normal serving size.

Immediately post op I took the bariatric advantage chewable. I was able to take it without food even and it didn’t upset my stomach. Of course everyone is different but I did well with it.

This is an older post but I guess someone recycled it for a reason so….hersheys makes zero sugar chocolates if you can eat just a little bit also quest makes candy bites that are chocolate with protein. For salty cravings their protein chips are excellent as well. For carbs I agree that you just have to go cold Turkey for a few days and it gets easier.

Hummmmm. I think I would want the doctor to decide but I wonder if you will get that far. If I remember correctly they asked at the checking desk if I had any of the COVID symptoms (they listed them all out). Hopefully it’s nothing and you still get to go through with it but better safe than sorry so definitely tell The doctor.

That’s awesome. Congratulations!!

True.

yea I am just saying I don’t think B12 is one that is harmful in excess.

I’m pretty sure it was B12 my family dr told me that you just pee out any excess.

If you didn’t know this (I didn’t) your doctor should be able to arrange for you to get fluids as an out patient. I was worried I would have to go back to hospital. Well technically I did go back to the building but to a different part

I like quest protein chips and candy bites for my sweet and salty cravings. They are lower in calories than the real deal and they have a little protein in them as well to fill you up. Also if you can eat just a little bit of chocolate and be fine hersheys makes zero sugar candies that taste almost like The regular ones.

Congratulations. Keep up the good work!!

No problem.

Congrats 🍾

Hello. I had a BMI of 35, surgery in South Florida. insurance paid, told my husband and one friend who were both totally supportive. I decided to do the surgery when i tried my last diet and my knees started to hurt with exercise. I realized any more weight and it was going to snowball out of control because I couldn’t even walk on treadmill without joint pain and I have been gaining at least five pounds a year on average for over ten years.

That really does work. I had a malignant melanoma and was super anxious and one of the nurses I came across told me to start a binder keeping all my scans and records, appointments, etc all organized. Basically focus on what you CAN control. Making plans for what you need post op is doing exactly that. It helped ease my Anxiety quite a bit.

I am a year out so I eat more at a time than I did when I was three months out but I eat on the same schedule. I eat breakfast at 9, lunch at 12, snack at 3, dinner at 6 And snack at 9. That way I am eating every three hours. And yes i do feel hungry in between but usually I am able to wait the hour and a half or whatever since I know what time I will be eating next.

Is it the sweetness of the shakes that gets you? If so it bothered me too and the things I was able to tolorate were premiere protein drinks. Their clear protein drink and the caffe latte (which has caffeine). I hope this helps.

I am so glad he came around for you and that you posted an update to let us know how you are doing. I guess driving you crazy with support is better than sabotagong you which I have heard of other spouses doing. Best of luck to you both.

Congratulations

I wouldn’t have had any issues at 3 months out with energy or otherwise. It may take a little planning to get what you need to eat though overseas.

Yea. If you have a question you can go into a forum and clicl create a new topic.

Cool. I will save this and try it when my nephews come to visit. They will love it I’m sure. Thank you.

I will have to make it when we will be having people over because my husband won’t eat it and I eat so little. What setting would I want to use?

Are they super spicy? I don’t really like spicy.
