Post-op dumping on broth?
daveintx replied to daveintx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here... and it has me nervous. BTW...sorry for TMI on my part..but it is what it is. Lol -
I was told no raw veggies for 2 months. I tried some the other day, around 3 1/2 months out and to my surprise (TMI!) it didn't get digested at all. So I tend to stay away from it. Carrots and peppers seem to be fine though.

UGH......gained weight???
Manda87 replied to Foxracing1201's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's normal. Your weight fluctuates with water. For example, before I workout, I may weigh 2 pounds more than after it. I've sweat off a good amount of water. Also, your weight fluctuates with bowel movements and the such. This is TMI, but I decided to see what I would weigh before and after a BM. I ended up weighing 1 pound lighter than before my BM. Yeeeeahhh.... don't worry about those 2 pounds. They will be gone soon enough. -
Been three weeks since surgery. And every since then I keep diahrea. Is this normal? Thanks for your help.

So here goes a TMI question. I have been due for my period but I assumed because of surgery, things would get thrown off a good bit. For the last couple days, ive been experiencing little clots and a very minimal amount of blood. But it is extremely dark brown, almost black. I know dark blood usually = old blood. But has anyone else experienced anything like this? Should it be something I should bring up to my doctor or do you think it's just my body's way of trying to be normal in a not so normal time?

Day 5 Postop And Diarrhea (Sorry...tmi)
shawna_s posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
On day 4 I moved from jello and popcicles to potato soup and protein shakes. Ever since I had the soup my stomach HURTS! Not my "band" but like my stomach isn't used to the richness of the food or something and now everything i eat makes me have diarrhea. Has this happened to anyone else? I am starving and DO NOT want jello!!!! -

Sorry if this is TMI, but no one will understand like you guys HW 140kg or 308lbs SE 132.5kg or 292lbs CW 104kg or 229lbs

Feeling ill since getting surgery in Feb 2021
Kukubari posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello everyone, I want to warn people that this might be TMI and if you are uncomfortable with details and personal health, you may want to back out. So yeah, ever since I had my sleeve performed in February, I have had watery to loose stools and I always feel bloated or like I need to run to the bathroom soon. I get the 64 minimum water intake and my meals are almost completely protein. I physically am not to the point yet where I can have non-starchy veggies. I just dont have the ability to eat then PLUS the protein. My surgeon says everything looks good with my recovery during the past 3 post op visits. Has anyone else had these experience? Needless to say, this isn't something I expected when deciding to get surgery. It's not too big a deal, but it does make me uncomfortable and the sensations are distracting and inconvenient. So much so that my work performance is suffering from it. -
Hey everyone. I thought I would post something today just to release my mind. I am having surgery tomorrow to remove scar tissue. I'm a little bit nervous but sure everything will go well. I had a complete hysterectomy 9 years ago and the scar tissue has built up to where I am having a lot of pain. Pain when I cough or sneeze standing up and (TMI maybe) during and after sex. The doctor seems to believe the scar tissue is what is causing it so he is going in to burn it off. Meanwhile, I am really hungry. I am starting to have the shakes and it's not feeling all that wonderful. I am on a pure liquid diet all day long. I have to drink a full bottle of Magnesium followed by 2 enemas starting at 3:00 slow time. I've been through this several times in the past and not once do I remember having to be on a pure liquid diet. Good news about the liquid diet...By the time this is said and done, I am looking at at least 2 maybe 3 days of not eating (I tend not to have any appetiate at all the day after any surgery), I will have lost a little more weight. I think between 5 and 10 pounds. I am asking that everyone that reads this thread to keep me in their prayers. I know the good Lord will be with me before during and after my surgery holding my hand. I have a wonderful Doctor (I've been going to him for 11 years now) and he has a wonderful staff. I feel a little more at ease knowing this. After all this is over and I have healed enough, I need to go get a fill. So much easier getting a fill than having to go through an operation.

Blood in Stool? Gross, sorry! Just worried
Tgarden posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I cannot seem to get the "search" feature to work for some reason, so I'm just going to have to throw this out there and hope someone has some insight. Wondering about blood in stools. It's not a whole lot, but definitely streaks. I had some beets a few nights ago, and at first thought that was the culprit,but now I don't think so. I'm almost 3 months post op. Glad for a place to post odd, TMI, questions to a group of people with lots of experience. Thank you! -
I know, I know.... but I just have to ask. I never had this problem until about the last five years and that just so happens to also be the years I have been over weight. I have to use clinical strength deodorant and it sometimes wears off before the day is up. I'm having this surgery to get to be "normal" again and was just curious if this gets better also. Sorry if it's TMI but was wondering just I thought I'd ask.

Almost 11 Months Out From Gastric Sleeve Surgery
ATLGirl posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi All, I know I have been out of pocket for a little while. I needed to get away for a few months and refocus myself on why I did the surgery. I was becoming a very bitter person by comparing myself to others. Along the way on this weightloss journey become more about vanity and less about health. And that is so not me. I must say, I fall in love with myself a little more each day. I am embracing my newly found curves. Coming to an understaning with my stretch marks, and learning to love how much I can eat. I am almost 11 months out and as I read back over my old post, I can't help but to smile. How scared I was about never reaching ONEderland. My mourning over food. My worries that my husband would leave me if I got too small. And my fear about eating around others. Somethings that I have can now report on: 1- My goal was to get to 199 by Thanksgiving (I know I am a slow loser and paced my goals as such). I am happy to report I am 194. 2. I can eat a lot more around people. I don't know how my tummy knows, but I just can. 3. Food and calories are not the enemy. I honesty lose more when I anm not counting every calorie my mouth or keeping myself from slices of heaven. Its all about balance. 3. Still don't LOVE working out, but you gotta do what you gotta do. 4. I still don't take my Vitamins like I should (I am working on this). I take them 3-4 times a week and its mainly a multi (a good multi) 5. Carbs are not a sin. There are some good ones. 6. shakes are still NOT my friend. Every now and then in a pinch I will have one and I struggle to get them down every time. 7. My goal weight is just a number. I am actually looking to even out in about 20 more pounds. I am moving past the number and embracing how I feel. 8. Inches lost are just as important as weightloss. 9. But inches lost in the waist (pants size) don't correlate with weight. (I am a size 16 still after almost 90 pounds of fat being gone). 10. I still have a very hard time going to the bathroom (TMI?). I don't know what it is. I know if I went more, my weightloss would be better. But its a plus if I can go twice a week. Well that's it for me. I would love to hear from you all who have been with me for almost a year now. I am still hoping to reach my goal of 100 pounds lost by 1 year out. Its a goal, not the end all be all. Love ya lots! -
Does anyone else feel their stomach & tolerance for food are very different during your periods. Feeling a bit nauseous.....Ugh. A month sleeved..

Band tightening with hormonal shifts?
neenee717 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Been banded for 4 wks and dint have a fill yet. I'm premenstrual (tmi) :-) and 2 things have been happening. Top oft stack has been tightening and it really hurts in weird way. I know it's the band. Also had my st stuck incident out of blue when lately I can eat and drink anything. I jad terrible pain in sternum area and felt like turkey sandwich got stuck. I panicked flailing arms and was just abou to try and throw it up when my son brought me something to drink to try and get it down. It worked but I was tired after the incident and had similar incident tonite. Has anyone else experienced this? -
8 Days Out And Finally Starting To Feel Somewhat Normal
KK66 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Still very tired at times, but overall, feeling a drastic improvement from earlier this week. I found some new soups to jazz up the dietary repertoire and it;s helped (Trader Joes Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper soup and Miso soup). Weight has dropped 16 lbs since my first post op day. (had gained 10 lbs in fluid immediately post op). Total weight loss since beginning this journey around 18 lbs. I still find myself napping (which I never do except when sick), but I guess my body needs the sleep. Sleeping very well at night Lower plumbing back in working order. One per day (TMI--sorry!) but happy for the results. I return to work on the 17th and I have my annual holiday party here at my house next Saturday My BF has been amazingly supportive and helpful and thank God for friends who will help with the party planning. How is everyone else doing? -
I'm 7 days post sleeve surgery (surgery date 1/31/13). I've been heavy all my life, but was always pretty athletic and held it together well. I'm roughly 6ft tall, and over the past couple of months, I went from 240lbs to 290lbs with the help of food, and some bad discs in my neck and back. So I decided to start looking around for alternatives for weight loss due to high BP and bad neck and back problems. Fast forward to today. Each day I experience a few different things...pains in my sides, extreme tenderness in one incision, extreme bloating, and now explosive gas and diarrhea (I know, TMI). I get extreme pains in the substernal area. I'm probably just paranoid, but mentally I feel like I did the right thing for my health, but I am very nervous about each little change. I know I'm only 7 days, but I guess I'm just looking for some comfort.

My doc's office just called, and my Iron is low. It was 24, she said it should be between 50-150. I've seen lower levels in googling. the nurse said I should take Ferrets iron supplement. I have seen some of the other recommendations of other types to take, one of the things I'm worried about is that I am already have (TMI, ahem) constipation issues, and the iron is just going to make this worse, right? Grr. I think I am also going to take the plunge with Novasure. I've been toying with it because of lady problems, but now this added to the mix, makes me want to just cut the whole TOM thing out. Any advice or sharing of your story would be helpful!

Phantom poo
byebyedarkpassenger replied to Hippie72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nope but love the term :phantom pooo:! Could it be constipation? Is your poo more solid than it was before surgery? That may cause your symptoms. I'm just about a year out. Right after surgery I only went #2 every 4-5 days, then was very constipated for a couple of months (rock-hard poo), then got ridiculously gassy for a few months until I practically eliminated breads, and am now back to normal both with regularity and consistency. Sorry if this is TMI. -
i'm 5 weeks post op as of today (: anybody else 5 weeks or 6 weeks post op? how are you all doing? i'll start off with me, eh, could be A WHOLE LOT BETTER! im schedualed for a fill on the 16th but i dont think im ready for it yet, not with my stupid nausea, that doesnt seem to go away and im taking my nausea pills, that alone makes me frustrated, other than feeling nauseated, i feel fine. hope i dont have that for the rest of my life, but for some people they have nausea for a few months right? my dr said try eating a pickle, he had a patient that went home one night ate a pickle and felt great! is it cause of the vineger? and the nausea is the only thing thats making me upset, its making me lose hope in getting back to myself and feeling 100% wonderfull ahh! my incissions are healing fine, but have hives around them and itchy dr said he didnt know what was causing it and he didnt know what was causing the nausea. i gotta go #2 (lol sorry tmi) and i cant! maybe thats another reason why my stomach hurts. i'll take a softener when i get home from getting my lip pierced. i had soggy cereal for breakfast yesturday its go lean kashi or something like that, i tried a string cheese yesturday with turkey breast deli wrapped around it had like 3 bites and i couldn't eat it anymore, i dont think i was hungry. i had a chicken leg for dinner with my fav BBQ sauce and i fed most of it to the dog and cats, it tasted good though. today i didnt have anything for breakfast, i cant decide on anything, but im gonna have string cheese, i wasnt too hungry for breakfast, anyways i feel fine other than having nausea, i hope it goes away, how are all you guys doing? :smile2:

Started period
Sqkysphnctr replied to HealthierLifestyle2018's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine start about a week later, and it's one of the worst periods I've ever had. *TMI alert* heavy beyond belief, I'm dizzy, and the stomach/bowel cramps that come along with my period is ridiculous. Supposedly that's normal with all the hormones being released in the burning off fat but it was scary the first day. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app -
TMI but omg these cramps are horrible :**[
