Okay fellow dsers, vets, or anyone passed me two months out. Why does my food taste so different its nasty at first it was the chicken now that i was able to move up to ground beef that taste like shyte literally. Yes dont judge people what i mean is (tmi time)when i use the restroom it is still baby type poop which has a baby type milk poop smell. I have that taste in my mouth all the time. Nothing tastes normal not coffee, not my Beans, not tea, or any of the allowed meats. All i taste is what i think the whey smells like after your body processes it. Somebody please tell me you know what im talking about its getting me down in the dumps. I know that food is fuel not for enjoyment now but come on. It has gotten to a point where i force my self to eat and try not to gag. Sorry for the rant but just needed to vent i guess anyone got some story on how to make this better. I know it will eventually go away its the when part that gots me down. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Sleeved October 17 2017 Age: 19 SW: 297 CW: 255 GW: Healthy and happy. Any medications that are a no go for post op Gastric Sleeve patients. I tried to contact my surgeons office but they haven’t gotten back to me yet. I’ve had no previous health problems before my surgery other than depression and anxiety that I’m taking Remeron for. Specifically asking about Lasix, tmi but ladies you know when you’re bloating before that time of the month for me I retain ALOT of water up to 7-8 pounds difference in my weight no matter how hard I watch my sodium intake. Is Lasix 45mg safe to take???

I went for my 1 week check up today. My doc checked my wounds, and asked me if I wanted a fill. I have so much restriction right now, I do not need one. I can barely eat, and am rarely hungry. I said no fill for me, and he was fine. My doc said he wanted me to hop under the xray to look at my band and port. He said, some docs put the port into muscle, but he doesnt. so it can move a little. He said, the xray doesnt show which way around the port is, so he wants to put the needle in to check:blink::redface: Here I was, thinking I was avoiding a fill (and happily avoiding a needle), but then turns out he still wants to jab me. I tried to get out of it, but I lost the arguement. It barely hurt, and I felt like such a baby. I wont be scared next time I go when I actually need a fill. But I wonder, when will that be? I feel tight all the time. My trip to the doctors, 1.5 hrs each way, was my first excursion since my surgery. I've just got home, and I'm very sore, stomach muscles aching. I think I overdid myself a little. On a good note, yesterday I went to my chemist, and asked for something to relieve the gas, and I took whatever it is she gave me (its written in Korean, so I have no idea!). This morning I woke up and did 2 of the biggest farts since my surgery. I felt so much better!! Seriously, TMI, but who cares. Relief!! Thought I should put my typical eating at the moment: Breakfast: Cup of Yogurt (runny kind) Lunch: Soup (either corn, mushroom, broccoli, or pumpkin. very basic.) one pack is 150g, and I never finish half. Smoothie: 100g yogurt, banana, and some milk. Dinner: One scarmbled egg, (hard to finish, last night) or tonight, 2 pieces of large spinach mozarella ravoili, cut up and chewed a gazillion times, and 1 tablespoon of mashed potato with milk in it. I try to drink as much water or very watered down juice as I can in between meals. The waiting to drink after a meal is hard. I know I need more, and I'm hoping to get some protein shakes this weekend to help me meet the minimum. I'm probably only managing 20-30 grams so far, and I think thats being generous. I was 105kgs pre surgery, (231lbs) I'm 98kgs, (216lbs) 7kgs/15lbs in less than a week? I think I should start my ticker!!!:frown:

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 -
So the pain finally went away and my shoulder feels better. Thanks for the advice to keep moving bandsters. It really help, but now I'm in liquid diet hell. If I drink one more whey protein shake. I feel like I am starving. I have also been a tad bit bad. I ate a small bite of a chicken panini sandwich my daughter had,but after I chewed it I spit it out. Big mistake. That tiny morsel of normal came back in the form of exposive diarrhea, I know tmi, but someone has got to say it and days later I thought I could have a chicken chunk. It was soft and it's chicken right healthy. Wrong!!! Same thing that happen before happened again so no more cheating for me.But I have got to tell you I'm raging bitch :confused: on this liquid diet.Yes I have gone from 316 to 296 in two weeks :biggrin: but when came I use my teeth again.

I haven't checked in since Nov 15. Thanksgiving I didn't lose anything (definitely ate poorly, but exercised like a crazy person every single day including the day of thanksgiving and on Sunday morning before we went to the airport). Anyways, today I'm at 208.8 which is 5.2 pounds less than I was on Nov 15. A few days ago I was at 207.8, but then I got my monthly friend and I'm up a pound. Trying not to despair lol. This happens every month (but its still frustrating, despite the predictability of it). Hopefully it will start back up again after my period is over (sorry if its tmi ).

WARNING: TMI.... This constipation aint no joke!
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. -

Personal Questions needing answered
thinatheart13 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everybody I've switched over from pre forum to post. I had my surgery on Monday. I have some personal questions I can't find the answers to. First off, I am extremely mentally hungry. Like I could eat a whole pizza hungry. The food craving haven't gone away. I thought cutting out the stomach took away some of the hunger hormone? Next question: (TMI) I am very constipated. Merilax is not doing anything. What can I do? -
For Women...TMI...about Aunt Flo
KerryRNY04162015 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi ladies I have a tmi question. My surgery was April 16th. I could start birth control a month after surgery. About 2 weeks in after taking BC I started AF. The first day it was red/brown and today is day 2 and it's dark brown. I read it could be from rapid weight loss. I've lost 57 lbs. Have any of you experienced this ? Just curious. Thanks -
preop-surgery-postop advice
vegasgirl44 replied to LateBloomer's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LateBloomer! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. I thought it was honest and entertaining. I think one of the great things about this site is that we get to read everyone's experiences before, during, and after the band. I just had my psych eval and nutrition visit today--surgeon appointment on the 15th, and God willing, I could have surgery in a few weeks. I have been reading everything I can, copying and pasting notes and lists of things to buy, and loving the whole thrilling process. I appreciate all posts, especially yours. The funny thing is when you talked about your period. I wondered the same thing and you answered the question for me. Many people would consider that TMI, but not me! LOL! I loved your post! Right up my alley, baby! -
kay so this is probably going to sound gross, so excuse the TMI, but my belly button is N A S T Y. and annoying lol. It's not draining or leaking. But there is somewhat of a smell. But the main issue and there is like some hard crustiness inside of it. I'm 5 days post op and I really just wanna clean it. It doesnt hurt to pull some of the stuff out but I wanna know if it's a good idea or should I just leave it alone? It doesn't look like glue or anything like on my other incisions, it's kinda black and kinda looks like earwax. It's bugging me so bad cause I just wanna clean it lol. Help.

Yes it is over the counter. The over the counter brand is called Alli 60mg. To get the 120mg you have to have a perscription. WOAH, it is not fun. WARNING: Orange oil leakage from your rear! Don't even try to pass gas while taking it cuz it will be a mess. Took it both pre and post band. Didn't really have an effect on weight loss either way. To much trouble for what it is worth in my opinion. And I second what Miper said. It does ruin your clothes and if it goes thru your clothes onto the chair you are sitting in, it ruins that too! If you are going to try it, I would suggest getting depends. Not just the panty liners, the whole underware. It ruined so many pairs of my underware. I had a grilled chicken salad with fat free ranch dressing and 15mins later orange gooo was running down my leg. I know that is TMI, but I just want you to know what you are getting into ahead of time! Too bad they don't make those cloth diaper covers for adults. You know, the plastic panty covers for babies....or do they?

Well I survived. :lunch: I am doing pretty well considering everything. Actually today I am going to take a bus trip across to see a launch. I have been walking everyday to help get that gas out and sleeping in my lazyboy sofa. Not too bad really... just one TMI thing the liquid post op diet is wreaking havoc on my digestive system as it was before the surgery... ugh. Hoping imodium I started today will kick in. BUt overall... just the distention of my tummy and the betadine still on the skin where the tape is, itchy incisions, no complaints. I figured out since starting this journey I am now down 34 lbs. If you had asked me on Sunday and MOnday, I kept wishing they could just rip the darn thing out of me. I haven't told anyone at work or even my family except my husband. So hoping everyone is doing as well. I'll check back in. Sorry it took me so long but my computer crashed and I didn't find my password right away. Take care! M

Updates By Nov. 2012 Sleevers
dlinnh replied to Yasmine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 11/12 - one week down and I can start full liquids today (cream soups; yogurt; pudding and continue with protein shakes). Well it was tough today I must say, everything I ate hurt, sometimes I had to hold onto the counter till it passed. I think its gonna take me a couple more days before I can try again. the problem is trying to get in enough protein right now - I can't even keep track of it, but I know it is really low. I see surgeon on Weds. as far as bm's go - it FINALLY happened on Sunday sorry TMI - I just two doses of Miralax and now i can't stop - my lower intestines are rumbling all the time. I was down five lbs today... -
What are the side effects? I was told the medicine can interfere with **ahem** orgasims (sorry for TMI). mine isn't too bad but its getting worse. hopeing it will lessen after surgery but unwilling to give up one of the few good things in my life....lmao

I'm 3 weeks out from surgery and I discontinued my birth control for a month as advised by my dr due to blood clot risks. Last night my husband and I had an oops moment with a broken condom. I've been married for 12 years and always on birth control so I've never had to worry about things like this. When we decided to get pregnant 10 years ago it happened on the first try so this is why I'm so worried. What should I do?? I'm not comfortable talking to my surgeon about this. I was going to get a morning after pill last night but then I read it is high risk for blood clots. I just got off a 2 week long after surgery period yesterday if that makes any difference.

Pre op diet?
sleeveforkayla replied to sleeveforkayla's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok a little off topic but I'm wondering if anyone has suffered from constipation with the pre op diet? If so, what did you find best to use? I apologize in advance if this is TMI. -
Everyone's experience with vitamins is different. I had the Loop DS and I take 1 Bariatric Complete (orange flavored) vitamin (with iron) and 2 Celebrate (grape flavored) without iron (I apparently process iron REALLY well as my iron levels are perfect with just the one iron, more than one makes me constipated, tmi I know). As well as two Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate (I used to take 3 but my calcium was high). And I also take 10,000IU liquid Vitamin A every other day. It just really depends on how your body handles the vitamins. Some can take less, some have to take more and some have to add extra like my Vitamin A. You'll figure out the process as you go. Just choose an initial brand and take what they tell you to and adjust as needed. As for recipes... I get a lot of recipes here: https://www.bariatriceating.com/blogs/recipes

Extended-Mini Thigh Lift & Belt Lift 7/11/16
amazon replied to amazon's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
@esskay I'm more than happy to talk about it Hopefully folks don't think this is TMI or gross ...but this is my view of my thighs this morning... I'll get pics of the others areas once I'm "up" a bit more. It will probably be more meaningful if they're unwrapped, too. But you can at least see how you start off. I'm leaving the hospital shortly. Yay! Ps...I have no idea why my images are showing twice. -
Thanks for this info! I was just noticing that I am having an issue. I was very regular for prob about the first 2 months after surgery. Lately I have noticed that when I "go" it is much harder (tmi) and im also straining (even saw some Blood) and the last few days I have hardly gone at all. I feel like if I am holding on to poop, it's gotta be adding to my weight! Lol. Anyway this AM I took a swig if milk of mag. Hasn't seemed to do anything . I will try the Probiotics immediately. Do you get a certain brand or certain milligram or are they all about the same? I have never shopped for them. Also finally got hooked on the 80cal light and fit Greek yogurt that you told me about months ago. (I must have tried the wrong flavor at first cause now i'm loving the blends and eat one daily) Was hoping that would help also the digestion also but hasn't. According to this article, it's probably just not enough.

I am sure this is a stupid question, but I have seen this term mentioned several times within a list of negative side effects, and I am clueless.....when I have a BM/diarrhea while dumping it is kind of oddly foamy......is this it? Sorry for TMI!!

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??

4 Weeks Post Op.. Issues
kisersassy replied to jnygrl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
jny I am going through same thing. I am a month post op as of today. I feel like I have attacks every other day and it leaves my stomach feeling like someone used it as a punching bag for a day afterwards. I was not sure if its foamies or gallbladder or stricture. but I am pretty sure if it was a stricture it would happen all the time not just every other day. but I did call my surgeon this morning and I go in tomorrow so he can scope me. when you have your "attacks " does it make it hard and painful to take a deep breath? mine does and when I do makes me more nauseated. and it lasts about an hour and last night (sorry tmi) I vomited about 15 times
