I am a week and a day post op! I was really hoping to be up and at em by now, but I still have such pain in the main surgery area that I still can't even wipe myself(sorry TMI) if I get up and move around it does ease up and I think I'm on the mend, but it never seems to get any better! I'm supposed to go back to work on Friday(my choice, I am a nail tech) but I don't think I'm going to be able to do it! Did anyone else have this searing pain and any tips in how to get rid if it? Thanks so much!

Any other July 1st sleevers home?
jaycobsmom replied to Bredred's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had my surgery on july 1st with Dr.Bina in Houston. I came home yesterday around noon. Sipping and walking. I have to admit my body is “waking up" from the anesthesia and if you think its air your trying to let out think again ...RUN to the restroom .. there is no warning .. sorry if Its Tmi but it just happened to me. Time for a shower .. but listen to your body -
I should have a bachelors and masters degree in worrying! So I can relate to your angst. Yes, you can have complications BUT weight issues can cause lots of health complications as you know. In the world and on this site you'll hear the band loved and hated. If you follow ALL your doctors directions you not only will have weight loss success, you will minimize the chance of a complication early on or later. Day of surgery for me,only slightly achy thanks to pain meds. Some gas pains in my shoulders, but walking and moving(especially my arms) got rid of it fairly quickly. Incisions tender for a week. In a month I could exercise. My only complication, 9 days post op I had severe cramps from constipation. My fault, didn't drink enough water. Went to er, (tmi tmi tmi) and was fine within a couple hours. Good luck to you.

June surgery dates
thenewme13 replied to DenaLJ1354's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wake up at 7 am and go to bed at 10pm so I do about 4oz of water every hour....I know its TMI but my Doc told me to get my urine as pale as possible thats sign of good hydration. :-) so far mine is almost transparent -
I've been taking Gabapentin for 12 yrs. Its also used for nerve pain. I take 1200mg 3x a day. When I first. Started taking it it made me feel like I was living in a dream. Not anymore. My dr told me to continue everytning but birth control pills. They increase my chance of blood clots. Btw (probly tmi): condoms suck!!!

June 25th Sleevers? I need a buddy...
2notbwinded replied to pinkeeez83's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have the same full feeling like pre op anymore (kinda miss it, messed up huh?). Anyway, I did serve myself an extra ounce of cottage cheese. Thinking that its simply ridiculous that I can't get this protein in. Well, I ate maybe .5 ounce before the not-so-full feeling turned to just nausea.... Ugh. Never again, you'd think right? Nope, I accidentally did it this morning. I chose not to measure and just eat till I felt full, but since I didn't know when to stop I went straight to nauseous again. It seems I learn like Homer Simpson! Edit: I should add that the other day I went to a restaurant with the family & since I couldn't order anything else I had the wonton soup without the wontons. Gave away 2 small servings (my kids) and proceeded to sip the entire meal. I didn't want to have nothing to do so I kept sipping. When it was time to go I stood up and I could feel all that liquid sloshing inside or something. It was the first uncomfortably full feeling I've had. About 30 minutes of waking later I felt better. Full relief came after a bathroom break (TMI sorry). -
TMI alert! Not to scare you but my experience with post-sleeve constipation led to rectal surgery. I should add that I'd had intermittent problems with constipation prior to the sleeve. By four months post sleeve I had developed an anal fissure that would not heal and having any form of bowel movement was like pooping shards of glass. I ended up having a fissurectomy at seven months out and the recovery was nearly unbearable. Everything is fine now because I take sugar free Konsyl fiber, one dose in the morning. I take it religiously because I never ever want to have that pain ever again. Also, getting in your Water will help. Taking fiber requires a lot of water. Best of luck to you!

Haha nothing is tmi on this site I think. That's really interesting. I'm not sure why that would be the case...are you aroused with all this wetness or is just kinda your baseline? And is it all the time? The reason I ask is bc when ovulating its normal for your vagina to produce more lubricant...and if you have lost a lot of weight your body (like mine) may be responding by jumping back into ovulating cycles. When we are overweight many become anovulatory so it may be your body kicking back into fertile mode. This is purely my guess...

my period is 2 weeks late
******** replied to huligoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think u just have to be careful. A lot of people hes seen were infertile because of their weight so figured they didn't need to take any precautions. I am only 23 so I havent actually tried. Not saying 23 or younger you can't have kids I'm just not at that pt yet. I'm not making my fiance where a condom but he is having fun finishing on other parts of my body haha tmi -
This gas has really been kicking my behind! I mean its the worst feeling ever but as I sat in this uncomfortable chair I noticed I couldn't stop rubbing my tummy. As I rubbed, I kept belching & farting (tmi but they don't stink lol) There's a huge sigh of relief so I would suggest everyone with gas problems to try relaxing in a recliner chair & just rub your belly with light pressure. If anyone else has any other remedies other than walking that have worked for you, please share

I have really bad diarrhea :-( I tried calling my NUT, just waiting for a call back. Is anyone else experiencing this? I do NOT want to take the milk of magnesia since waste is still coming out, but I take a multivitamin with fiber in it. Can I add some to a protein shake?

How often do you weigh yourself? and not going crazy
AmyInOrlando replied to Greeky83's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm sure I'll be one of those obsessive weighers.... naked, as soon as I wake up, before I pee, after I pee... definitely after a Poop. TMI, I know.... but it's the truth. -

******** replied to Karnie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine on day 3. It was liquidy (tmi) because I was only drinking liquids at this point. -

Okay, so as I gained weight my vaj-jay gained too! Especially right above, in my pubic hair region...it's a big ol' fat pooch! So freaking disgusting and it has ,ajar impact on sex life. Now that I have a surgery date I am starting to wonder how my poor little va-jay-jay will look afterwards! I mean she wants to be pretty too! Did anyone else have this horrible pooch? What difference did you see in your girlie parts?? Is there such thing as vag tuck?? lol... I don't want her to be droopy or saggy!! Lol...sorry, but this is really a serious concern! 5'2" 264 lbs -

This is a TMI wait until you get to the constipation. I didn't get regular without fiber or milaax until month 5. It does get better though. -
Sorry...but I have to ask...
JoiaRox replied to Karnie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Happened on Day 6 for me...and it was painful! Once I got that out, though, I was in the "bowels are more loose now" mode...lol! Talk about TMI! -
So I've been meaning to ask this question, yet every time I go to my surgeon's office I forget! My Soup dilemma. I love chunky meaty Soups. I'm ok without the carby starchy veggies, but can we eat the meats and broth if we can't drink and eat? Also, right now I'm still on puree stage. Could I puree both liquid and meat? I'm guessing I can so my question I guess is more geared for when I'm further out. To elaborate, and maybe TMI, I'm hispanic and I :wub: LOVE mondongo (beef tripe soup) :wub: .<--- No Judging! It's high in Protein, not fattening (w/careful preparation) and can be made without starches without sacrificing much taste. If anyone else has had experience with this food post op please share.... I will, of course, experiment. Still, I'd rather save myself the trouble of having a bad episode, if that's the case. Please share experiences with other soups as well, as I can't imagine them being much different.

I haven't had any trouble drinking. But I'm further out than you. Just take it slow and try Gatorade. I had horrible hiccups the first week but they are gone now. Wait until you sneeze Also, I know this is tmi but we are all in the same boat. I didn't go #2 for 8 days. I finally mixed some miralax with my drink and the next day I went. Now it's all diarrhea. Everything I've read says that's normal because we are only drinking liquids.

Wow. I have had trouble getting in liquids today. Is everyone else still having trouble getting liquids in? The color of my pee still looks ok. Sorry if TMI. If that changes I'm going to call the on call Dr.

4 Months Out - First Major stuck episode
BandedCandace posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First of all just a quick update of how I have been doing..I am down to 365.6 I was 417 the day of my pre op diet Jan 31st. Total loss of 51.4. I have been walking 3 miles every day training for a 60 mile walk I am doing in November..I havent stopped any of my medicine..but I have noticed my monthly becoming regular (TMI for some folks I know) and I have had no knee pain which is very unusual! Ok now on to my stuck episode for today. This morning I decided I wanted a bite of a donut and my band said HELL NO..It was the first time I couldnt get it to pass for 5 minutes and truly felt like I was about to fall out or throw up..It hurt so bad!! I never want to even see donut forEVER! I have ate other stuff that was too big of a bite and it took a minute to pass but I just felt the tightness I never felt sick and wow today I just knew I was going to throw up..but I didnt..It finally just passed through and I knew the second that it passed because it was a huge relief. Anyway..Loving my band and it is still by far the best decision I have made for myself. I go back to the doctor on July 17th and I Hope to get a minor fill. I think I am close to my restriction because I dont feel like I am in bandster hell...but its still not where I need to be I believe. Thats it for now -
