Oh Man, What A Morning!
Marty McSkinnystein posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good thing....I reached 40 pounds lost this morning!! Yay!! However, all I can say is, DON'T GET CONSTIPATED. Whatever you do. Figure out how to get enough Fiber, Water, etc. I had the most horrific morning-- I thought I was going to break blood vessels in my head...(sorry if TMI- but it's part of life right?) Also, how's this for a coincidence- or is it? I had a horrible charley horse in the middle of the night- and unlike previous ones long ago, it was up to my thigh (calf and thigh!! yikes). Those were my biggest fear with the surgery. I remember ANY time I had lost lots of weight -so it's not related to surgery- but fast weight loss and more Protein. Obviously I need to up pottasium I guess (for cramps), water, and stool softener. What a last few hours!! Shwew! -
Please don't be so hard on yourself. It will work I promise. Everyone loses at different rates. I actually gained 5 pounds the first week because of all the liquid, ivs and I wasn't able to poop lol sorry for the tmi. You will be ok.

Yesterday was Mother's day, and my family came over for a pot luck snack, i made a fruit platter, and made crystal light peach ice tea. Other family members brought, salad, and some made bad choices. Lol like mini meat pies, mini taco cups etc. It was a hard day for me. Im on my 90 day pre op diet. I have been doing very well, but i ate my portions of things i was aloud to have, then i had a few bites of things i was not aloud to have. Later that night i felt it, i felt crapy physicaly, and even had a very loose BM. ( tmi i know sorry) any ways the point of this post is i needed to just say i cheated on Mothers day, it made me sick and i gained 3lbs back. I learned my lesson! Wont let that happen again. But i feel bad for my moment of weakness

I am having this problem also and I have never before had this issue in 53 years of life! I never knew how lucky I was. It's really miserable trying to pass a few stones only to have so many left in there making you feel uncomfortable! LOL Sorry for the TMI. I now know what people are complaining about that have this problem on an ongoing basis. I am going to try some of the things on this list. I can't eat prunes yet but I am sure I can have prune juice. I am also trying fiber one cereal. I drink plenty of water and have added the powder fiber stuff but it isn't helping. Good luck to all my fellow sufferers!

Another December 9th sleever here. Heading into the TMI area. I feel like I'm in bondage, Left arm has blood pressure and Left hand has IV. Right Finger has oxygen sensor, and Right wrist has 3 hospital bracelets, Nose has oxygen tube in each nostril. Legs have cuffs to prevent blood clots. Stomach has the bandages and I have a drain. Got my pain pump, and call button, and other room controls. Have my laptop and phone plugged in. Whew. And I have had to pee... a lot,so every time I have to go, I have to get unhooked from it all. Plus it takes forever to actually start going. I also Nurse game me omeprazole thru IV and that's generated lots of burping. Able to have ice chips but if I over indulge I get nauseous. Over indulge being about 15 ice chips. And I'm HUNGRY. That scares me, thought the hunger would be gone. Oh yeah, my scalp is itchy and dry. On the plus side my little cheats (the chicken and carrots in my "broth". The few ounces of turkey with a tablespoon each of potato,stuffing,squash and cranberry sauce. The 1/2 scrambled egg at lunch the day before surgery.. Those cheats did not come back to haunt me. I have a private room, Moving over to the post surgery threads, but wants to let you folks know it wasn't that bad. My complaints are all minor compared with my health issues due to obesity. Soooooooo glad to have done this. Good luck everyone, and see you on the other side~ Moving to the loser's bench. Can't wait till you join us there. Going back to sleep as soon as the nurses do their thing.

Surgery in two days and I'm in tears
imawhodat posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm having a bit of a nervous breakdown I think. It hit me when I was in the grocery store stocking up on the stuff I need for clears diet tomorrow. I came home and just started crying. I want this surgery more than anything but I must admit the reality of relearning and developing a new relationship with food is making me so sad. When I tried to decide what I was going to have for my low carb low fat dinner thats what sent me over the edge. I started thinking about all the things I wanted and I just broke down. I think once I cry and say goodbye to these habits I'll be ok. I know I am making the right choice. I'm just trying to deal with what I'm feeling right now. I'm going to make some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup now, its been about 5 hours since my last shake and I'm sure low blood sugar is playing a role in me being so emotional. Oh and sorry if TMI but PMS x 10 isn't helping one little bit. -
Surgery Week of August 24th?
DownInSocal replied to DownInSocal's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi! Wow a week. I can't believe it. I went out on Saturday and Sunday. Both times were quick trips to the store with my husband. I was dizzy and sweating by the time we got home. I think it is normal. I feel good so it was odd that just a little bit of walk around the store could do me in. Before surgery I was walking 5 miles. I go around the block now several times a day. It is hard because it has been hot here as I am sure it is there too. I have got on the scale. Couldn't help it. 12 lbs as of Monday. I am sure some of it is Water weight as I am consuming so much less sodium but it is great to see movement. It seems all my loss is in my limbs though! My arms have small bat wings and my legs are much smaller. Now I just look like a weeble wobble perched on small flabby limbs. Great just what I wanted :glare: Oh and my "girls" seem to be hanging lower. I asked hubby if they looked more saggy and he was evasive so that means yes. I have not bothered measuring because I still feel like my abdomen is swollen. I am not one to be real worried about measurements anyway. To be honest I am struggling with liquids. I have a headache today and my urine output is not great. I am going to start measuring today (TMI). I took a clean one of those hat things for the toilet home from the hospital just in case. I am glad I did. I was told not to worry about Protein the first week but try and consume as much as possible. I am getting about 40 grams a day. It takes me an hour to drink a shake so I could add another and was thinking of doing that today. With shakes counted I am only getting about 25 oz of Fluid a day. I am going to try and do better today. It is so hard because I still am dealing esophagus spasms. I seem to be able to drink more later in the day so I need to just get on it and sip, sip, sip more. It seems thirst went away with hunger. -
I'm five months post op and I've thrown up no more than 6 or 7 times...for me, I know it's coming because my mouth gets all watery and spitty...then when it comes out...TMI alert...it's slow, not forceful Nd not at all projectile. Hope that helps.

To Barf, Or Not To Barf?... That Is The Question.
Tlmiller2971 replied to sabrina140's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wish I could do that sometimes, but it seems like since I've had surgery I can't seem to throw up. I know it's tmi but I gag just nothing will come up -
Out Of Curiosity.....
lml32937 replied to ebthompson2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost 1 year out and YES you get drunker/buzzed faster- 1 glass of wine will do me in- 2 Jello shots will be a good buzz... Mixed drinks depends on how strong they are and I stopped drinking the frozen drinks because they are a) full of sugar and fill me up too fast- I prefer now to just drink at home because when I go out I rarely will finish the drink I get and to me that is a waste of money- at home I can make whatever size I want... I have only gotten "drunk drunk" 2 times since surgery and it wasnt fun- I needed to throw up and was afraid of doing so- it eventually came up on its own and then there is the peeing factor- with such a small tummy I swear it goes to the bladder twice as fast henceforth once you open the flood gates and go 1 time you are in for the night (for me anyway).. TMI sorry... But I reccomend to try it and see how you do- but it will DEF be WAAAY different and waay less post op than pre op... GOod luck-- -
Hi all; I apologize if this has been asked and answered but I couldn't find anything while doing a search.... I currently have a sinus and chest infection, and am on antibiotics. This has been ongoing since Tuesday (it's Sunday today); for some reason today seems worse (and TMI but the unending mucus is really annoying!). I have a fill scheduled on Wednesday....I am wondering if being sick will somehow interfere with the fill? Currently my band isn't tight (as in, it hasn't become tighter since being sick). Will I be able to feel proper restriction? Has anyone gotten a fill while being ill?

3 years post op. HELP! Experiencing bad pains
long_journey posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi there. Long story short. In the last 10 years I've had a lapband, sleeve and 3 years ago bypass. Two months ago, 5 month post birth, I had a massive right side pain. Couldn't move and ended up in emergency. The pain has not gone away. I've experienced the worse pains in my life radiating all over my body, I'm dizzy, bad nausea, confusion, pins and needles and numbness in my legs and lips, crippling pelvic pain, stabbing pains all over my abdomen, bad stitches in both sides, blurry vision, burning lower abdomen, lower back pain, right and left tip shoulder pain, chest pain, sore ribs, bruising all over my body, im exhausted, I fall asleep while driving and I even have (sorry tmi) green vaginal discharge. I've been living on pain killers just to make it through the day. Ive been living in constant pain for a long two months. I've had almost every test under the sun. My bloods are all normal (except a little low in iron). No gallstones detected. I've had an abdominal ultrasound, ct scan of my spine, abdominal MRI, pelvic exam, pelvic ultrasound sound - internal and external, a papsmear, vaginal swabs, in and out of emergency 6 times, bloods tests 7 times,urine tests and I'm losing weight super fast and not in a good way. Nothing has been detected what so ever. Everything comes back perfectly fine, I've only had a low grade fever. I had a endoscopy 5 months ago for reflux and all was fine so they won't perform another. My surgeon has been away but he is now sending me for a abdominal CT scan tomorrow and another gallbladder ultrasound. I've had a few doctors tell me it's all in my head or it's gallstones then constipation,then sti, nerve damage, then a pelvic infection, then ulcers, then spinal problems, then problems from pregnancy but it appears I am perfectly healthy and it's none of these things! I seriously can not handle this anymore... please has anyone ever experienced this from a bypass that can't seem to be detected? It's made me absolutely miserable. I see my surgeon on the 5th for my results. Until then any advice is appreciated!!! Sent from my Pixel 3 using BariatricPal mobile app -
This is the worst I have felt since having surgery on dec 10. Everything makes me nauseous!!! I threw up last night was up all night with sweats and other things that are tmi!! Did anyone experience this later on after surgery?

More Confidence In Bed After You Reach Goal Weight?
dhales replied to lovex5's topic in The Gals' Room
At first I thought so...I started at 195 on the day of surgery. My highest weight while married as been about 220. I am now 165...You would think I would feel sexier and I do when my clothes are on. Strangely...I feel less so when they are off. Sounds strange and maybe TMI...but my breasts were a full size DD and although I was larger physically...I was firmer. Here's the TMI part...my boob's have deflated and everything seems to so much more saggy (e.g. tummy and thighs)...I actually feel more self conscious than before. I know its strange...but that's my answer. I am exercising and although I am firming up...the loose skin is still an issue. -
I'm so glad for you about the liquid diet thing. :clap2: But, from the symptoms that you described I'd be worried about your bowels. I know, TMI. But, hear me out. If you're feeling like you need to go but can't then you have episodes of diarrhea that could be something else. I know you were on a liquid diet (for the most part) and liquids in=liquids out, but I can't quite shake the feeling that something else may be going on. If you feel the urge, but can't go maybe you have a bit of a blockage or at the very least constipation. I know what you're thinking, "how could I be constipated when I'm having diarrhea"? When you're really constipated, sometimes BM gets hung up in there but still lets liquid stool around the blockage. This is a very common symptom with fecal impaction. That combined with the fact that you said your tummy just doesn't feel right, even possibly painful. I'd get this checked out BEFORE surgery. Because anesthetics slow the bowels and could cause even more problems. Talk to your PCP. I wouldn't resort to laxatives, enemas or suppositories but make sure your doctor hears about your symptoms.........ALL OF THEM, including what you were eating. Because there wasn't much bulk to it. I don't know what you were eating before, but you never know. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that these symptoms are nothing but a passing phase.

Post Surgery - Tom Came Waaay Early!
Boofster posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can't believe it...my monthly friend has arrived only 18 days after my last one. I was sleeved on 11/19. Guess those hormones are all out of wack - hopefully this means that the fat burning has begun (though I heard that somewhere). Sorry if TMI, just had to vent to my sleeve sisters! (Sorry guys) -
Embarrassing thing happened post op
More2Love replied to Chela's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
TMI - but I had my period and let's just say they gave me a blood thinner TWICE in one day. My poor sheets had to be changed because I couldn't get up fast enough to use the bathroom in time. And this is coming from someone who is so careful when it comes to bleeding through clothes. Oh, I was mortified! But 6 weeks later, i don't care! -
So sorry for such a TMI post, but I've noticed lately that mine is very light in color, certainly not brown like it used to be. It's also very thin. I am almost 4 months out, lost 40 lbs, have 20 more to go. I've Googled "color of poop" and basically everything I've found is either bile duct obstruction or colon cancer. Well, I tend to think that it's neither since I am a WLS patient. Any thoughts?

OMG.... I have the worse gas. It varies based on what I eat, but I could clear a room if I wanted. I get horrible gas pains if I hold it in (sorry TMI) and I'm at work and I cannot walk away fast enough some days. I find that it's more on days that I add spinach to my smoothies or higher fatty foods like avocados. Beans, too I guess. It's just become a part of my life now. I get it when I walk or excercise. It's embarrassing and I wish it wouldn't happen. My poor son hates to run errands with me,... I'll just start walking away really fast go down a different aisle.

4 days post op, major pain, please help!
falcon posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi, I am four days post op and while my insicion site gets better every day, the gas pains (I think it's that) get worse and worse. I can barely drink anything and am wondering how long I can survive on 100 calories of protein shake/day plus a few sips of water. The pain is mainly along my esophagus/back/bit of the shoulders. . . . Sometimes I feel like I have to burp but, and I hope this is not TMI, I start to burp and then it just sort of ends in a verrrrrrry painful spasm/hiccup of my esophagus (I think that's what it is)? Is this normal? What can I do about it? And should I worry about the fact that I have consumed maybe 500 calories over the last 4 days combined? Thanks! -
Hi all, I am 4 days post op and have yet to have a BM. I keep seeing people comment on "liquid in, liquid out", so far it's just liquid in for me. Right now i'm sipping on a little prune juice to help stimulate thing. My post op diet is full liquids... but still nothing. I'm not in any pain and I don't have any of the usual constipation stomach cramping, just haven't pooped yet.... any thoughts? Gross I know... sorry
-
Been three weeks since surgery. And every since then I keep diahrea. Is this normal? Thanks for your help.

I don't log how I feel, restriction-wise, on a daily basis. I do, however, log unusual stress, my period, and what I eat and drink--and that helps me pin down what's going on when I do have some sort of confusing restriction question in my mind. Really, things tend to dawn on me as I crouch in the bathroom, coping with something stuck. I don't have consistent restriction, so when I get stuck, and it's not due to obvious user error (like swallowing a pill that is too large), I do try to make sense of it if possible. (A bit of TMI to follow...) This happened to me last night, with a food that simply should not have been a problem, in a quantity far below what should have presented a problem. I was able to determine that this last happened right before my last period. And checking dates...sure enough--I knew that was it. I woke up this morning with my period. So now I know to keep a closer eye on dates and really listen to my body carefully when the timing's right (or, really wrong!) Did that make any sense?
-
HI ladies, I'm just checking in....my period is driving me crazy. It started July 31, then I got my IUD on August 1. Period ended about 7th. Started very light spotting around the 20th. Got heavier with darker flow, and I thought it was about over when I had my surgery on Aug 25. It got lighter again, and just when I thought it was gone, it was back, like it had never happened. It's been going on ever since. I don't know when this will ever end!!! If this is TMI, I'm sorry. I'm going to my post-op appt tomorrow and will ask my surgeon if he knows what's going on.

HELP! SERIOUS gas 4 months post-op..poss. TMI
TexasFire replied to MistyDTX's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Misty, I am so sorry you are having such troubles! Don't worry about the TMI, as there is much worse on here and all that is fine, too! That's why we're here! I'm coming across your question a few days later and hope you have resolved your issues, but if not, please call your general doc or pharmacist for advice. They may want you to be seen. No matter what, I don't think you should be in this much discomfort for so long, so let them figure out how to help you. Let us know how you come along.
