Hi All. I am home safe and I will write you all tomorrow. But.. I needed to share this with you. I don't want to get too personal... or give you TMI about my life but.....I was very constipated... before and after my surgery. I went to the hippie store (Whole Foods) and found a tea called "get it going". I'm not even kidding. It comes in tea bags and isn't too bad with Splenda. I drank two cups and...... got it going!! It was not too expensive $10.99 for 36 bags. It comes in a greenish round can. It has no caffine and didn't cause any cramping or diarrhea. May not work for everyone, but it sure did work for me.

I was wondering if any one was really "gassy" before the surgery and how did the surgery impact that? I have always been rather gassy (both ends). Now I understand that some people experience gas after the surgery, but I wonder if anyone had bad gas before the surgery and what happened afterwards.

DaddyMarie replied to sleeved215's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I hear ya sister! I had my surgery on the 7th and yesterday was my first BM. I thought I was going to die and when it was all said and done I was seeing stars and exhausted and sore. Lol!!!! TMI in know. I called my doc and he said Milk Of Magnesia. I have been drinking like 40-50 oz of Water a day so I get enough water. And like you I am used to going 2-3 times a day. -
Did Surgery Make Your Period Come Earlier And Stronger?
Musharooni replied to DanityChai's topic in The Gals' Room
Yesterday was my 4 week mark and I am having my first period since January. TMI here, but its pretty heinous. -
I had my surgery on 3/20, on the day of my surgery I was already on my period. This would be the first one since. I have always had really heavy miserable ☹️ periods. This on here is something I have never had. So far this morning I have had to change clothes twice and only been up for about 2 hours. I have large blood clots, cramps out of this world. And have to reclean the bathroom every time I go because of the blood. Any suggestions??

I'm trying to get more informed everyday before my surgery on Thursday, but all this talk of dumping and frothing are really making me nervous! It feels like the more I know, the less I really do! I guess you just have to experience it yourself. ( TMI) I've had hemorrhoid surgery, and after that, I believe I can handle this. I'm also afraid my family is going to get sick of this process before it's over.

Awkward Question
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to ameliamaebe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
coffee has always made me (find the bathroom after about an hour after drinking it) still does (sorry TMI) if you are on soup/broth on your liquid phase, it did the same to me. i still have a change of clothes here at work,,,just in case. i learned quick i think if you are concerned, call the dr. they operated on you and know what is going on. they will either tell you to chill out or come in for a looksee. so give them a call and see what they say -
I actually had my first salad last night. we were out for Sushi and I had a miso soup and a house ginger salad. I was nervous, but it went fine. I didn't feel any different and I think it actually help me digest (TMI-I went #2 last night and this morning and that is alot for right now) I am 2 months and a few days out. I ate probably like 7 bites and it was ice burg lettuce, carrots and ginger dressing.

Previous gall bladder removal question
Fluffnomore replied to JCallie01's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
I had my gallbladder out 5 years ago and was sleeved about 3 weeks ago. I have 5 new incision sites, so no. As far as the bowel stuff goes, I had (TMI warning) really loose stools almost every day. Sometimes the urgency, but it didn't seem to be brought on particularly by greasy. It was worst in the morning. I was convinced it might be bile salts diarrhea type stuff, but never bothered to have it tested. Since sleeving I have had a couple of those moments, but if anything I struggle more with the opposite. It is early days, yet, so maybe this will change. -
I am home from surgery from 9/5/08
curvesincali replied to curvesincali's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Okay.. Here is another tip... Pain meds and constipation. Girrrrllll... Get you some stool softener, enema, and a laxative ... Keep all that close by when yopu come home. Drink lots of Water. TMI- I thought this poop was going to tear me in half.I fially passed it throgh with the help of an enema and laxative... And lots of water. I will keep you posted. -
I have a major problem with constipation. I know since I eat less Fiber that is why I am like this. My main food is meat, then veggie and sometimes I eat fruits. Should I change my diet to be more on veggies and the Protein? I am supposed to have between 1/2-3/4 cups of food per meal. I normally eat 1 cup since I have no restriction. I normally eat only protein and little veggies because that is what the nutritionist told me. What about you guys? If you have to eat 1 cup of food, do you normally eat only protein or half and half with veggies? What do you do to help you go? Thanks, Alisa

burning sensation post op day 3
MrsPositive replied to MrsPositive's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All I can find is that a burning sensation on the skin can be caused by nerve endings that were cut and are regenerating. It literally feels like someone has lit my skin on fire...and not on the incision but in between them. Hurts any time I move and use my abs on my left. I have found the pain meds and an ice pack held there are the only things bringing relief. Hoping this clears up fast. I think if it was gone I would be somewhat functional. As is, I have a hard time going pee!!! Tmi I know. Frustrating!!! I will keep researching. Joan -
To Puke Or Not To Puke
nowatgoal replied to nancy_marie_00's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay - this may be TMI for those of you that are squeamish. But this is one of those areas that I really learned a lot about AFTER the surgery, and maybe someone else will benefit from learning about this part of it. I have never coped well with throwing up - but after the surgery I found that if I ate too much or ate too fast and it was sitting in my esophagus causing me pain, the best thing to do was to throw up. It's different than when I use to get sick with the flu. It's like you just bend over and burp a little bit and up it comes. Usually, only the amount of a bite or so will come up and it's very easy. I still hate to throw up but when I need to for relief I do because it helps SO much. I have a very restrictive sleeve and it took me a long time to figure out how much I could eat, how slowly to eat, what foods I could tolerate, etc. so in the beginning I'm afraid I did my fair share of getting sick. Now, I very, very rarely have to. -
I had an IUD years ago & hopefully they are better than they used to be. I had it for a year & it left me with blood clot issues each month. I never got over them until menopause. Sorry about TMI.

UGH. At any temperature. Plain Water absolutely sends my stomach into a knot and is so uncomfortable. I don't get it. Protein is fine, Crystal Light is Fine, Tea is Fine. Water? I am not fine. I'm making myself continue to drink it because (forgive me for this, TMI) my urine is terribly dark and I'm having a hard time using the bathroom on my own. I know part of that is because I'm not getting enough water in. Is this anything anybody else has experienced and did it ever go away? I LOVE water. Everybody knows my desk at work because it's always got a water jug and empty water gallon jugs around. I'm the Hydration Station. Now me and water just simply don't get along :-\

Funny you should mention that! I had posted a question about that too. I had my first BM in over two weeks today. And though this is TMI my tummy was so relieved!

Checking in with the veterans . * Goal and beyond*

@@erp Thanks for the TMI moment. Made my night. -
I hope this isn't too much information, but I'd like to know if anyone else has been experiencing this... so here goes... I am on my pre-op diet now (tomorrow will be my 6th month) and I've been really trying to change my habits the last two months. However, within the last two weeks I keep getting these intense stomach cramps and diarrhea at night only. It's weird I know. I was "googling" it to see what it could be and some sites it stated this can happen from a larger in-take of Water and change in eating habits. I have almost quadrupled the amount of water I drink, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. Ugh... I feel so bad at night 3-4/week. Just curious...TMI?? :thumbup: Thanks!

Hello. I was sleeved on April 29th and have been healing very well. However, today I have had extreme diarrhea. I know this is TMI.... But it's almost so bad that I think it's gas but then it's not. I have been on pure liquids since surgery. Anyone had anything go in like this? I'm worried I may get dehydrated.

So I'm 7 months post op and the last 5 days have been super annoying. First it started with the worst smelling gas ever (tmi I know). Then it was a gurgaly stomach with tons of gas. Now it's burning in the stomach!! Any opinions or suggestions would be very cool!

I hope this isn't TMI but I am concerned about it...I used to be the typical lady who had to use the restroom quite frequently. Since my surgery, I noticed that my bladder has been like cast iron. I only void 2 or 3 times a day. I am getting in at least 40 to 60 oz of water and other fluids every day. Sometimes I feel thirsty and sometimes not. I have had kidney infections in the past and they never could figure out why. I don't want to hurt my self but am actually enjoying not having to take all those bathroom breaks. Any thoughts?? Thank you so much!!, Laura

Maybe TMI but for the first time since surgery I wish I would puke. I had taco salad (just the meat, cheese and some tomato) and it went down too well. I think I ate too fast and too much. How long will this yuck feeling last? Lessen learned omg.

Will I look older after surgery?
Healthy_life2 replied to Beachy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to admit I had a bit of a freak out moment seeing my face before and after in photos side by side. My health and energy level...TMI acting like a teenager with my husband. Oh yes I am a much younger version of me. -
Steve The Sleeve Is Very Unhappy...
mnbsleeve replied to Lilee84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's funny I saw this post because I was going to inquire about the same thing. I am 10 months out and I've been going through periods where I just can't eat anything. One or two bites will fill me up and past that starts trouble. It's difficult eating out or being invited to dine at friend's or family because I just can't eat. I have varied my foods, taken my PPI again etc. During TMI I seem to be more hungry and be able to eat more in general. But I still eat between 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup at most overall. I am making an appointment with my surgeon to check things out. Like PDXMAN above posted, perhaps it's some kind of food allergy or intolearnce. I will post whatever I find out!
