Ladies - What's your period doing?
tripletmomma2000 replied to MissK's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have PCOS.... I have never been regular. I took Metformin (Glucophage) for the last 10 years, and found out that what we thought was Celiac Disease with me (chronic bowel issues) ended up being a sensitivity to Glucophage.... non-resolvable diarrhea. (sorry if TMI) I went off Glucophage this past January. I've had every period since then. It started every 50 days..... then every 40ish..... Had my LB placed in August... now getting my period about every 32 days. I even FELT my egg pop in September. I've also known when I was ovulating, so I was able to fend my husband off (name is tripletmomma for a reason!) Your hormones are starting to shift/normalize, and while they do that, you may experience many things! It's weird.... but isn't it nice getting your body into some sort of rhythm? -
I’m 8 days post op sleeve. Bowel movements are small but black!! Anyone relate? Thoughts?

Almost 4 Weeks & Suddenly Nauseous?! Help!
2bfit replied to 2bfit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you PreciousCargo & Afro_Cyster! I started taking the nausea meds. I started feeling really bad after I had what I would consider my first real BM (sorry TMI). It was absolutely awful. But I swear I have been struggling since. I have been trying to push fluids today and went back to a full liquid diet today. Hopefully, that will work. I don't think I am dehydrated because I have been drinking the recommended Fluid intake. I just feel like I am taking 2 steps back. My energy level is zilch! -
Christa, Firstly, just about NOTHING is TMI for most of the people around here :confused:. And dark pee is a sign of dehydration. Please do your best to get that color up. You will be peeing alot at first, but your body really will get used to it and you'll go less. Not as little as you are now, but less than the feeling of getting up to go right after you sat down, lol. I was dehydrated once a few years back when I had a bad kidney infection. They used 2 or 3 bags of Fluid on me when I went to the ER. My mom said she literally watched the color come back into my face. Be nice to your kidneys!!

Can someone please tell me if having problems urinating is common after surgery? Im two months out and use to go like a race horse, now maybe twice a day and I am drinking water all day. I've heard about having problems with #2 but not #1, im having problems with both which is kind of scary so is this common or weird?

This is gonna be TMI, but after a few weeks of starting the no carb diet, I had it so bad that my bum was bleeding! Drinking a lot more water has helped. I'm sorry if this doesn't help you.

Can it really be this easy??
PlannerGirl replied to jsouza's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am having a very similar experience. I had surgery on the 18th and I am completely back to my old self except the eating. I have done a lot of errands and chores, I have cooked for my family and guests, been for a bike ride, and (TMI warning) made my husband happy sooner than he thought I'd be able to. I was really expecting this to be much harder, and I couldn't be more pleased it isn't. I know not everyone's experience has been this easy, but I encourage anyone who is having fears and considering canceling to overcome them......it is so worth it. -
DeeDee, You could have it altered to fit for not much cost. I've "taken up" some of my scrubs, and (TMI my underpants which were falling off...) If you can sew, some alterations are quite easy. Others...well, get to know a good seamstress for the dresses and clothes that you love. Great job working your sleeve!

I tried miralax and I have the urge but nothing. Lol! Sorry TMI!

Omg, tmi but made laugh! It's the simple things that seem to give us greatest pleasure. Or maybe I should rephrase that ???? ha ha!

True Results Weight Loss Center Houston, TX
AmySays replied to NewLifeRight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stiff is right, Nancy. Our bladders may just need a few days to wake up. I have found that if I tilt my pelvis a little, I can get more out. (Sorry, TMI) -
I know, I know the true TMI topic but I am interested in any input. Mine has changed DRASTICALLY since being banded so much so that it is concerning... Anyone else care to weigh in??
-
Thanks!! I don't know how long the runs will last, but I noticed it is better so far today. I don't know where anything could be coming from since I did the cleanout thing the night before surgery and have had just protein drinks and sugarfree jello since. I have lost 3 lbs since surgery! Tmi I know! But got to tell the good bad and ugly for the folks considering a sleeve. It is all good so far and will get better each day!

Bowel Movements - TMI !
Orchids&Dragons replied to AngelaZ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
And @AngelaZ, you are nowhere near the edge of TMI-land around here! -
My dietitian said that those giant noisy tummy rumbles are mostly from the "sip, sip, sip" drinking we do after surgery...every little sip takes in air which gets itself down into your "big tummy" and because there's no food there the air just rumbles around. I had it too and quite a few times my husband was in the kitchen and I was in the lounge and he heard it from where he was! Dry DeGas for the gas. I too had the most horrific gas pains imaginable, but DeGas is amazing, I took two little magic minty tablets (they're tiny don't worry about swallowing them) every few hours and oh! the relief! Try them, they won't hurt you and they might just work... I swear it took about a week for all the gas to disappear from my abdomen. And it's got to come out somewhere, but husband was calling me "tuba butt" (sorry for TMI)...which made me laught...and clutch my stomach even more... I'm 3 weeks post op today, and it does get better!

I was having terrible constipation at about nine weeks as well, and I occasionally went 5 or 6 days without a BM. I could still eat, but I found that I had little appetite and couldn't eat as much when I was so backed up. This may be TMI, but I used an enema each time it had been three days or longer, and that always did the trick for me.

Calling all October Sleevers
kelew39 replied to sleevechic8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 10/6. I have bad reflux and I can feel it when I eat or not. It's all the time. I can swallow meds ok though. I love really cold sugar free koolaid. It has to come from the freezer with ice in it. Room temp is gross. Shakes are ok but since I'm in soft foods, I am doing a lot of chicken. The canned kind is great. I sip a lot but I want to guzzle. I think I'm dehydrated and constipated. TMI. Other than that, I'm ok. Was down 25 lbs from my last visit on Sept 18. -
I have an IUD, and it's a love/hate relationship. I love the fact that it's a type of birth control that I don't really have to think about and it's good for 5 years. The downside, in 2 months I've had to have 3 IUD's put in because yes, your uterus can expell them. Each time they were inserted they did an ultrasound to check for positioning and they were fine. My uterus is just angry and doesn't like them. If you get one in, make sure you take some type of pain reliever, because it does hurt going in. TMI they do the speculum, then clean your uterus and vagina, and then they insert it. It feels weird for a little bit, but after a day or two you get used to it. The other downside is you either bleed/spot for a few days and you're done. Or you can be like me and bleed for 60 days (my gyno said the bleeding can last for up to 6 months). I don't get my period anymore, but I do get random cramps like my period is coming but it doesn't show up. So it has its good and bad, it's all dependent on you. Have you thought about the Depo shot? A shot in your arm that you get every month?

I had my sleeve placed this past Wednesday I came home Thursday. I started cramping and now I have something like a light cycle but I just had one on September 9th. Did anyone else go through this, I hope its not TMI But they took a pregnancy test before surgery and it said negative. So could it just be the stress of the procedure? Order My Steps Dear Lord...

2Nd Fill And 5Cc's Later I Feel Strange
dquoiya replied to Cutiepy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes you are tooooo tight. This happend to me a few weeks ago when I was at 5.5 and I waited 2 days to see if the swelling would go down and after sliming and not being able to drink anything I went back to my doctor he took .5 out and I instantly felt better. I was able to drink warter and I cant tell you how good that felt. I was so tight that i could not swollow my slavia and had to pull over in my car on the freeway several times throught out the day to get spit it out ( TMI) I know. Please do yourself a favor and go see your doctor for an unfill, a small unfill can make all the diffrence in the world no amount of weight loss is worth feeling this way. Also as a side note i went and got my 5th fill yesterday he put .4 for at total of 5.4 and I feel great its not to tight at all. So just because you are tight at one number doesnt mean you will be that way forever thats the beauty of the band it works with you if you work with it and I think i am in the green zone YIPPIE. -
I'm having gas pains from my surgery and while its nowhere near as bad as when I had a C-section, I'm not overly comfortable. I'm taking a gas X chewable regularly and it does seem to be helping, but the box says not to go over 6 per day. I haven't been keeping track of how many I take. How many did you guys take each day? (TMI notice!!) On a brighter note, some of the gas is coming out and earlier today, I had the most amazing fart ever in my life!!! LOL Gosh it felt so good! :yikes:

I don't know if I am experiencing dumping syndrome or not. But I had TMi; vomitting and diarhea for over 12 hours. or due to me not eating enough, and eating the wrong foods :S or simply the 24 hour bug. I had no incidences now for 3 hours. I can keep food and water down now. So I hope this not fun day has passed. Update: Other then today, everything is going great. Down 27 lbs now. Trying to do a bit of cardio, I was supposed o strength train but my body had other plans. Soon going to add my 2 month measurements

Hello from sunny San Diego! When last you heard from me I was a ball of anxiety, preparing to leave Iraq. That was three weeks ago. Since then I did indeed leave Iraq, proceed through the aggravating Army redeployment process, cross the country (seeing friends and family along the way), and finally drove from Colorado to California, where I am now. Now I am with a dear friend helping her out with her newborn. My eating has been disordered of course, and unconscious anxieties about returning home etc. have manifested themselves in carb & chocolate indulgences that may or may not have turned into 3 lbs. Travelling (tmi alert) always makes me super constipated though so that might just be fake pounds, a couple of courses of miralax will tell. =P I am in the two-oh's though, I thought I was even 201 the other day but today it says 205, which may be the snickers (yeah I know I know) talking. This is a healing process, coming home, and way more difficult than leaving home. I actually bought a dress in the regular women's department at Target the other day - xxl of course, but still! It is a little thin cotton sundress with a deep v neck that I wore with a tiny amethyst cardigan and little silver strap wedgie sandals. It was the first time I had worn a short (knee length) dress in 12 years. Very strange. A lot to process. So I leave here soon and will travel northward to the bay area where I will settle down for 2+ months of quiet living, I will reconnect with my food, my exercise, my self. Here's hoping those months find me slipping under the 200 lb. equator and sailing toward goal. =)
