Yesterday, Thursday, Dec. 5 Maintenance : 5'4" / 21Mo PO RNY / 131.0 lbs B1 Protein latte x 4 (4oz PP) B2 2 Egg white bites (HSF ham, turkey saus, spin, seasoning blend, cauliflower, mushies, salsa, egg white, ps mozz) L Asian salad with grilled chicken and WF Asian Dressing AS1 Other 1/2 of my salad AS2 Roast beef, lean no fat + turkey cutlet D Pan seared turkey cutlet in ghee and herbs + steamed broccoli + avo/tom salad BS 1 sq Lindt 90% chocolate + almonds Daily Totals: 1095 cals; 107g protein; 59g fat; 34g carbs; 11g fiber; 23g net carbs I don't know what's gong on with me. I'm having a very hungry week. And I'm craving protein. Again with the craving protein. So I listened to my body and ate--exceeding 100g of protein which is so unusual for me. I'm wondering if it's my holiday SF Torani syrup and PP I'm having in my coffee. Normally during the week, I will mostly have black coffee sprinkled with cinnamon. But I've been having 2-4 oz of PP with SF Torani Pumpkin Spice and also Peppermint Syrup. I am still down at my low end of the window. This morning 131lbs even and suspect when I'm PP, I will be down at 130-ish. LOL. TMI sorry.

Okay so today I weighed in again (wasn’t planning on it, but I had some good quality bathroom time (yeah, maybe TMI, but I had been seriously battling some constipation for weeks). I’m down to 146.4, which is unbelievable considering I was in the lower 150’s for about 3 weeks. I think it’s actually going to be possible for me to see 139, which is a complete mind F**K, TBH. That being said, I understand that some rebound is to be expected so right now I’ll say anywhere in my modified GW range of 150-155.

Good to know my team is not the only one who is ok with it. For me it’s a good trade off. Since surgery water hasn’t tasted the same so not only is it helping me get down fluid but also tmi - go to the bathroom... I’m still on the hunt for another alternative/hoping the water problem goes away. -
Well into my pre op liquid diet
jessrunge6 replied to jessrunge6's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry for TMI, but the constipation is what’s completely killing me. I’m very committed to this liquid diet and have been journaling and keeping my eye on the prize for sure. But this pain is awful. I bought some Colace and smooth move tea praying it helps. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. This process will be worth it. -
What are "Drains" in a Laparascopic Revision Surgery?
Frustr8 replied to almosttogoal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just got my PICO ( a mini-drain) dicontinued after 2 months of a minor surgery that my stupid General Surgeon ( although I do hate so bad- mouthing another female) boogered up- left me with a distended upper arm with a non- healing surgical wound distended with blood clots- my theory? She failed to ligate a teeny blood vessel and it kept drip- drip- dripping under the skin. 1.5 kudney- basins full of clots and tunnelling both directions for 5 cm under the skin surface and raised up like a "breast implant" Sorry for the TMI but that WAS what it most resembled. Surgery was September 24th and after weekly PICO changes I am FREE on November 13th- whew-ee. Frightening that Ms Inept MD. also does Bariatric SURGERY but Praise GOD above , Not Mine! So drains do perform a purpose, if needed They Are Good but Many Many people escape THEM- if you do emerge from the OR with one they do speed up healing well. Had a Jackson- Pratt with my last open Abdominal- not my Bariatric- except for a little wider scar THERE it was GOOD FOR ME and speeded healing up! So Good Luck, a Smooth SURGERY and may yOu Always heal by" First Intention" healing from the Inside Out like my Last little SURGERY- The Pits- and IT STILL us a little sore there after nearly 2 months. And no sympathy from anybody because it was an ELECTIVE ONE. -
One week post op and only lost 2 pounds!!

My BM just liquid sorry TMI (well like dark green) kinda like a babys first time i guess since technically our stomach is brand new with RNY lol -
6. Nature - I think what I love most about it is watching life in action from the cycles of the season to seeing living things going about their business whether it's an insect, bird, or squirrel. All of it works for me. And yes, I love water and am not happy when I'm not near some. 7. Hard to choose any one book. Maybe one of my first ones that turned me into a reader. There was Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Trumpeter Swan, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. On the food challenge...did well on Tuesday, nearly made it through yesterday but had 1/2 a candy bar last night. On another note, I just gave up daily coffee today...I was drinking it to support regularity but way too much sugar and since I stopped taking biotin, no problem with regularity. So...I know, tmi.

Greetings, I had the gastric sleeve on June 17th, and overall its going pretty well. I do have something that is becoming a bit of a problem. Since I can anonymity on here, I thought I'd ask. How is the sex drive guys? Mine is 1000 x increased. I begin every morning with some with my wife, I masturbate at least 2 x during the day, sometimes 3 (thank goodness I work from home), and at night we have sex. So on average that is 4x a day. Part of me is like this was better than when I was 16, 30 years ago. However, it is becoming a bit consuming. Anyone else have this issue? Is this normal? Does it last (I'm kind of hoping not to be honest)? Thanks. Sorry if it is TMI but it isn't something I really want to bring up with the nurse practitioner.

pain and walking
Cherylmilla replied to Cherylmilla's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Exactly! You said a mouthful!!! I just want to be normal. we are hardly "eating" any calories, so we're tired from that. Then add the pain (and TMI, I got my period a few days ago, so through that on there). Thankful I have everyone on here to gripe to, LOL. I know my husband is sympathetic, but he can't fully understand (I'm glad he doesn't have to go through this). -
Hi All, So I had my gastric sleeve surgery October 28th. I'm back at work today, but I'm still walking in so much pain, by the large incision site and in my back. Note that (TMI ahead) I also got my period. When I walk, there is a nagging awful pain by my incision site. Did anyone else have this? I didn't really want to go back to work today, but I don't want to lose all of my vacation time (I used my own time, because I was told you'll only need a week and all that). Did anyone else take longer to heal than others? I expected to be up and running so much faster that I feel like a wuss. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

2 weeks post op and in pain on day 13 and 14 whats going on!!
Iamdlo posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi all. So glad i found this forum.. I had my sleeve done on the 22nd October 2 weeks today. My incisions have all healed up pretty well but i have this nagging dull pain under my left boob (Sorry TMI). I cant wear a bra as it makes the pain worst and it knocks me for 6. It seems to be 1 particular incision site thats causing the pain and its the largest incision site too. I get out of breath from both pain and "little activity" ( have a 20month old so take that as you will lol) Is this normal?? -
I forgot one important thing. For most of the day, I was very hungry. I was not really prepared for that. The staff told me it was very normal. I just woke up (TMI warning) and urinated 300 ccs which hopefully will get me an early discharge. As I write this, I am physically very hungry. Granted, I haven't eaten any solid food in a few days. Not sure how I'll feel about this in a few days, but for right now, I'm really looking forward to some broth this morning. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

MY SURGERY AND HOSPITAL STORY :)
New&Improved replied to New&Improved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was born with kidney issues so they wanted to be sure my meds would work so made me stay the weekend... I was ready to go Friday lol Its weird like I feel when I take medication and the pills go down but I can drink a lot of fluids maybe a 600ml bottle every couple hours... I've always drank a lot due to my kidneys and this is only half as much as normal unlike some ppl talking about struggling to drink 1 bottle a day??? I still take smaller drinks per mouthful but not like I expected only to take 100ml(4oz) an hour...? I'm always thirsty and I'm still on liquids so have my shakes plus I carry bottle of water with me to drink.. It might be due to my surgeon doing slightly larger stomach before the bypass? **Sorry TMI but my first poos were greeeny black lol** -
Lower body lift APPROVED!
damzelindistres5 replied to damzelindistres5's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Yes. I had a few things, documentation from my bariatric surgeon, documentation from my OBGYN (sorry if TMI but my loose skin was causing irritation in my public region), documentation from my primary where I had 2 yeast infections inside my belly button due to the skin fold. I had visits spanning from about 5+ months before I decided to see a plastic surgeon. -
Weight fluctuations happen. I bounce from 129 to 133 throughout the week. Also, not to be too TMI, but the best time to weigh is naked, in the morning, after you poop. LOL

Two weeks out and sometimes I have to run to bathroom
BQT posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sorry if TMI, but who else can I ask? Doing protein shakes and was so happy to finally that delicious premier protein drink you guys recommended , except about thirty minutes after at work I had to run to the bathroom ... this didn’t happen when I tried it yesterday. Never happens with Bariatric advantage... happened a couple times with other drinks like quest and iconic protein. As you can tell my dr didn’t give me much of a pre or post op consultation . Also what is “dumping “ -

Week 1 Post-op Advice & Experiences
smmrsue replied to Bree03's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had surgery on Wednesday 10/23, have been doing good so far. Today was the worst and it wasn’t that bad. Took one pain pill today. I stayed one night in the hospital and have been doing good sipping liquids. Sometimes, especially at first swallowing hurt in my stomach, not my throat. Now it only slightly hurts if I sip too much too often. I have not been hungry at all. I know that might change when the swelling goes down, but I like not being hungry. So far so good! Also, probably TMI but I wish I would’ve waited on the stool softener. They offered me two in the hospital and I took them. Went a lot yesterday and being a big girl it was harder to get clean and very uncomfortable. Lol I obviously got clean but it wasn’t pleasant. Wish I would have waited a few days. -
Hope it’s not tmi but it’s been six days and I do t even feel an urge ...

That is part of a panniculectomy, removing the apron of skin plus it can be a requirement for insurance to cover. My ins. wanted pics that showed the pannis hanging below the pubic area. And.....not tmi, most people have a pannis after losing a ton of weight

Ok so sorry if tmi but does anybody else have an obese FUPA( fat upper pubic area) I mean my va jay jay might look like a chubby alien I dunno. Oh well it doesn't seem to bother my husband any I just wish I had an attractive vagina not some juhbba the hutt lookin lifeform down there lol. Does anyone know if the skin removal aka panni covers that pubic area too? I plan on making an appointment soon as I'm 3+yrs post op RNY with a baby in between so I'm ready to get rid of this extra skin! Also any tips to help get insurance to cover just a panni? I'm pretty sure mine won't cover arns, breasts or anything else but a panni(and hopefully FUPA is a good start) Thanks in advance! Sent from my SM-J737P using BariatricPal mobile app

As everyone has said, vent away. If we can't vent to each other, then what good is the forum? I've been on a liquid diet before, for colonoscopy. It was no fun. Of course, they give you stuff to drink to get you all cleaned out, but still. My butt was sore for several days from all the time spent on the toilet. Sorry TMI. I hope you get through it all right, @Emily Jane. Wishing you the best!

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.

February 2019 weight loss buds
2Bsmaller18 replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
So the light colored stool is fat? TMI but often mine is greenish or paler but the high dose multivitamins affects it too. -
Day 6: Good morning all. I woke up again feeling that migraine trying to take over, so I decided I'm going to give my body a little break today. I know it is in shock from going from eating all that wonderful unhealthy and healthy foods to absolutely no food at all. That is A LOT to go through especially when you are sick already and have to take medication on the regular. I'm glad I decided to start two weeks out rather than wait until Thursday this upcoming week per my doctor's orders, because now I know what my body can and cannot handle. So on Monday, I will definitely have a conversation with him to find out what can I do about this, if anything at all. I may just have to suffer through the headache, but Lord knows I'm not ready for that. So today, I have started off with my coffee as usual, a scrambled egg with a teaspoon of grape jelly and a cup of orange juice. I have to say I haven't felt this satieated with my band completely empty EVER!!!!!! I actually LOVE this feeling. Sometime between now and noon, I am going to eat a banana. I have to get my extra potassium in as I definitely take my multivitamins everyday. I am going to do liquids for lunch and for supper, I think I may have some boiled shrimp and a little lettuce and tomato salad. I have drank some detox tea for the past couple of days to help with this process, and I finally excreted this morning. It wasn't as much as I hoped for, but something is better than nothing. I do think I'm going to have to take a laxative as I know there's more that needs to come out. I know this maybe a little TMI, but I have to share the whole journey and not part because I want others to know you're not alone in this journey. So I do hope I'm encouraging someone out there.
