Another embarrassing subject.....Diarrhea!
mrsto replied to mrsto's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks Missy. That actually crossed my mind earlier, but I dismissed it. Having my gallbladder out was (in my mind) such a minor thing, as my focus was on the bariatric surgery. I never gave much thought to any adjustments having it removed, because it's so commonplace. I know so many who have had their gallbladders out, and never heard any complaints about any of this stuff. I can't help but think part of it is eating so little, and drinking so much Fluid. There isn't much to bond into a good sturdy solid. TMI?? -
Hey Ladies HUGE question...I know this is personal and tmi but I was wondering if its bad having your aunt flow start during surgery? Because my Surgery in a week from Monday, April 15th and that is the day Aunt Flow is suppose to arrive and I'm thinking how embarrassing its going to be if I am.

Caught in a lie... Well kind of
dylanmiles23 replied to Creekwood's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was being treated for COPD/asthma for many years and my lung doctor did many tests and discovered my coughing 24/7 was caused by a hernia and my stomach being in the wrong place. I took 6 pills a day just to eat. My lung doctor set up the band appointment and said you are getting this. I have told some people about the band but never hid the hernia and stomach surgery. Just tell the boss what I said and use my surgery reasons for you. The band can be very private or some people tell the world. I wish you luck and the boss may be the type of person who shares TMI. -
Well, I got my fill on Wednesday. Was actually up about 3 pounds since last weigh in and he put in .5 cc, so now I have 3.3 cc in my band. Today is only 2 days in, but it feels really good and I hope it holds. I have a confession to make. I was a smoker before the surgery and quit a little before, and for a little bit after (about 6 weeks). I quit again a while back and it's a double demon trying not to snack, and being constipated from not smoking (sorry if that's TMI, but that's what happens to me). I was honest with my surgeon and told him, and we both agreed that relatively I'm doing extremely well and making great headway in becoming more healthy. How is everyone else doing? NJ? Meredith? Chrissy? Nicole? Nicki? Check in, ladies! I miss you!

I noticed recently that my pee is a little stinky. Could this be another sign of not enough water? Peeuuu. Sorry if its TMI. Anyone else have this?

Hey sis ...one u share ur new bday with my daughter!!! Congrats. My hospital stay was five days also and ran into complications. I wanted to tell u I'm five years out and night before last I had made beets and spinach noodles and my stomach talked from 9pm until 3pm the next day. I woukdnt call what I had diarrhea bc it was more like pure Water. It was so bad I actually recorded it from my cell phone and let my bf listen to it. Mine wasn't painful but (this gonna be tmi) I knew if I passed gas I'd use the bathroom so everytime I had to do that I had to hop out of bed run to the bathroom and do it and I believe I couldve made the guiness books for those ..wow. I took immodium and pepto all night and then it quit. I figured what's causing it and I'm on a prednisone pack right now for a severe sinus infection. I'm sure with ur pneumonia ur on antibiotics and that is where all this gas and diarrhea is coming from I'm willing to bet on it. There's nothing u can do bc u need that to get rid of the pneumonia.. just hang in there and msg me if u need too. Lots of love

I am not post menopause but I am 41 and never had kids. The surgery has played heck with my cycle. I am now going about every 23-25 days which never happened before. I also started RIGHT after surgery and it was the worst one of my life. It went on forever. (Sorry if TMI) My GYN said that yes, we do release a lot of estrogen when we lose weight. You become super fertile and your periods can go wacko (I was also wacko for a while from the hormones). She said it affects everyone differently. While I can't speak to post-menopause, it seems that your situation may not be so strange based on what she told me. I would call your Dr and maybe reach out to your old GYN if you can.

Warning: TMI, but need thoughts
losingpains posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all, My apologies for bringing TMI to the table so to speak, but I am not sure if I should be concerned or not. I had surgery on March 13 and my cycle started 6 days later (19th). It ended on the 25th, and just now I noticed that I appear to be starting my cycle again -- only 8 days after it ended. I know cycles can be wonky after surgery, so that isn't what worries me. It is just the timing because I went to the gym today for the first time and did cardio for an hour. Less than an hour later I notice the spotting. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could they be linked or is my body just being wonky? Thanks in advance! Trying not to panic here. -
Ok this is TMI but I feel so gross that maybe some one here will understand. I am on vacation right now so I haven't been drinking Water as consistently and I left my fiber pills at home. Well I hadn't gone in three days and I felt like Rocks were sitting in my stomach. Boy was I right. I just had the most painful BM and there was lots of bleeding. It was so much backed up and so hard I can't keep going like this. I don't want to get hemorrhoids . Before surgery I was very regular and now it's a pain in my ass, literally. Ok I will try you suggestions. Thanks. Sorry for the details.

What ya eating tonight?
jerz replied to OleHippieGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dumped for the first time on the chicken salad. I ate some when I first made it 4 days ago (canned chicken, chopped egg, mayo, salt&pepper) but tonight I put it on a 1/4 piece of 5 grain wheat toast and immediately after the 1st bite, I got extreme stomach pain, like everything inside of me was pissed and growling and cramping. So straight to the bathroom I go :-( now I know what dumping means cuz everything that was in me was dumped out of me violently (tmi I know) -
finally had my surgery!!
miznikkie08 replied to miznikkie08's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Mine is called "pour off the spoon" diet. No lumps no bumps but I can eat anything that purees and falls off a spoon. So brothy soups pureed. Baby foods. I had two nutritionist, the Dr, the drs assistant, and the lap band mentor tell me this. I only had to be on liquids for 24 hours after being home. So one day on, then surgery day, then all the next day until noon the following day. Everything's gone down well and please be aware....tmi coming....I have already had a bowel movement. Yay lol -

Any March Sleevers?
girlinthrmirrorme replied to futuresleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was dealing with this and found out we should not be!! You have to wake up your bowels. I waited and waited and one day I had such severe pain that I almost called 911!!!! It was unbearable. This is going to be TMI but....... Hubby ran to the store and got an enema and milk of magnesia. After that day I now take the mom every single day only the lowest dose just so I can "go". I will NEVER allow myself to wait that long again. BTW. I never felt constipated at all until "the day". Good luck!! -
I had surgery on 3/20 and since I've had maybe 6 BMs, all have been black and very soft but not loose. I read that the first one or two could be normal due to blood in intestine from surgery but it should go back to normal. I also read that continued black stool could be a sign of internal bleeding in the upper GI. I'm going to call tomorrow but wanted to hear others experiences.

Ok this might be a TMI question but how long was it before you had your first bowel movement? I was sleeved Monday the 25th and nothing much going on there except for passing gas. I have my follow up with my dr on April 4th. I wasn't really gonna worry too much about it till I go see my dr next week. Any thoughts? Thanx :-) Sent from my iPhone using VST

Odd question
SerendipityHappens replied to JanaLee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was having gallbladder issues, I couldn't eat pizza without running to the bathroom within about half an hour.. when I did, ****TMI ALERT*** the toilet would have oil just floating on top of the Water. Same with Chinese food. I'd NEVER leave the restaurant until I had gone to the bathroom because I had to GO within minutes of finishing my meal and it was EXPLOSIVE.. and again grease just floating there. Oddly, I could eat pastries with no trouble.. and we all know pastries are full of fat, so I don't know why the fat in chinese food and pizza was different in my body?! -
Any March Sleevers?
kyeta96 replied to futuresleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was released from the hospital today - YAY! Finding that I have slept most of the time. I'm a little more nauseous than I was in the hosp, and TMI, but pooping is taking it out of me. My NUT says I need to be at 80g protein, but that will take time. Work up to it. I'm shooting for 40 tomorrow. 60 if I can manage it. -
Totally not TMI. Not having that issue anymore is such a relief!!
