TMI? Why yes, yes it is!

TMI: I've struggled with this a while but it occurred to me I can ask for imput here. When I am active (at work, the gym) I sweat so bad in my groin, underwear gets wet and it smells (duh, it's sweat lol!) I've tried pads which helps a little but doesn't cover the whole areas I sweat! I use powder but it only freshens doesn't stop the sweating, and besides, I don't carry it around with me! So my question is, for anyone else who may deal with this, do you have any suggestions short of changing my underwear 5 times a day (haha)?!

wow! I can't believe I caught up to real time! I stumbled onto your blog while perusing this site and another one. I am hopefully close to getting my LB in the next couple months & wanted an honest experience to hear about. I found your blog 3 days ago & it's been like one of those good books you can't put down! For three days I have had my smartphone hooked to my hand (because its got the internet and it's a lot easier to use quickly vs sitting at the pc). I read through all of your blogs & was so appreciative of the brutal honesty & tmi reports. There were times I comiserated with you (ocd, party planning & decorating, info bins, crafting, & loving holidays!) There were a couple times I woke my sleeping DH up next to me (Yep, even stayed up in bed late reading) while reading your account of incontinence & then that sports bra fitting- haha!!!I so appreciate the bad with the good & all the info in between. It sure made me feel better about all of it while also enjoying to peek into someone else's life! (Btw, I inexplicably also became hooked on all the Real Housewives series too!)Anyway, I just wanted to tell you thank you- you are a fabulous writer! I hope to join you on the losers bench sooner than later & will continue to look forward to any and all updates on your blog!Keep up the great work!!! (You've inspired me to possibly attempt to move my measily little 4 posts of a blog from TT to here... I'll try & figure it out & let you know!) Thanks again!!! everleigh

I just sent an email to my liaison at alighterme with questions about this topic. I'm having my surgery done in Mexico with Dr. Kelly on 08/22. On the original paperwork I guessed on my weight as 220 because I had packed my scale in storage out of frustration. As we made plans and set my surgery date, I got my scale out and was happy to see I was actually 210. I let the liaison know to change my weight and BMI on my paperwork. But the 210 was with clothes on and my first day of my cycle (sorry if TMI) so when I got on the scale today w/out clothes and the water retention down, I'm now 204.4. This puts my BMI to 32.5. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm thrilled that I have less weight to lose but I'm worried that with two weeks of the protein shake diet I may lose another 10 lbs. or more and bring my BMI to 30 or 31 (or even 29?). I usually do really well on diets the first couple weeks and lose a lot of weight. Will the doctor turn me away if I lose too much on the pre-op diet? I don't want to become too "thin" to qualify! Seems like such a silly thing to have to ask...

Okay...this is going to be TMI, and I am sorry for that. I was one of those individuals who had problems initially with explosive diarrhea. It was so bad I thought I was going to dehydrate. Then I went onto full liquids, and had the absolute opposite problem. I spoke with my surgeons office and they told me I could take peri-colace. The only problem I have with this is that it can be habit forming and will cause problems with bowel patterns. I have learned that mira-lax is very gentle and it does work and is non-habit forming. It seems like bowel issues are definitely part of the changes that come along, but also don't forget if you were getting narcotic pain relievers and are still taking them, they too will cause constipation. Water is one of the most natural things for constipation though.

My APRON ----UGHHHH!!!!
JaspersGirl replied to BlaqBeary's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I use toning creams, I wish I could tell you which ones but I got an email stating to "stop advertising", not sure if someone told on me thinking "I am advertising", The other day I was at the hospital accompaning my good friend with her sleeve surgery (I work at the same hospital, so I was able to be there day and night, off shift and even on shift go check up on her etc), as I was changing into my scrubs, I took off my pants and didn't realize how my flap had shrunk! Not to be gross but I was happy to be able to see my hoohaa! lol sorry, tmi. But after experiencing the whole pre op hours and recovering time, etc... I was really wishing I could redo my surgery and just have the same joy of my rebirth! I had surgery March 1st 2011 THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF! I am glad I found this site as well to be able to chat with you all, those who know what I am going through. -
Scrambled Eggs...
jennyannk73 replied to Sleevedreamz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had part of a scrambled egg in puree stage and it didn't go well. Went directly through me (sorry TMI) and I felt terrible. Yet most other foods (fish, mashed potatoes, sweet potato, and canned asparagus ) that I've tried have gone down without a hitch. Wont try the egg again for a while.... -
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! -
You'll have to try different things until you find what works for you. I know want you're saying. (TMI) I thought I was going to have dig it out the first few times when I finally got to go. I now use a cap full of Miralax every day. Best of luck to you.

Ok so I had my surgery on Jan 7 and still have not pooped!!! I have taken miralax the last 4 days, and it am getting so nervous for when it does come ( if it ever does) I am getting 90 gr of protein, 64oz of water, and all my vitamins. The surgery was a breeze but I developed a Large hematoma that is very painful so I am still taking pain meds. What do I do???? I am normally an every day kinda girl. Is this normal, anyone have any advice?

Seriously struggling with getting my protein
jcsleeved2013 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my sleeve done on 12/27/2012 and had a hiatel hernia repair to add to the difficulty in eating, so getting anything down is a chore. Not to mention things do not taste the same and I am not tolerating the protein shakes well at all. I tried Isopure and it was horrible, the only protein shakes that are not so bad are the atkins or pure protein but currently and pardon the TMI, they give me the runs. So I am at a loss at what to do, especially since even when I do drink the shakes I can never get it all down. Are there other VSGers that have struggled with this as well as having difficult even getting enough calories in? -
Surgery on Monday July 29th. Still sore and trying to get fluids down. Went to the bathroom and low and behold..a small BM. No shakes or food (just isopure) so I don't know where it came from. No meds to help out. Just automatic. Anybody else that lucky? Pre Surg: 274 Today: 268

Thank you so much for the advice and motivation! I have went back to basics like liquid mostly. I contacted my Nutritionist and she advised me to quit the gym for now as long as I had 10,000 steps in a day.... ONCE AGAIN.... THE SCALE HAS MOVED... YAY !!! Down 5 lbs in 3 days, but I also started Miralax and my Period finally came as well.. ( sorry if tmi ) I am scared to do any carbs right now, bc I used to be a carbs person... btw congratulations on your journey!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Day 6 and finally went #2 & now have diarrhea
deardraya posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello and so sorry if this is TMI. I haven’t gone to the bathroom since two days before my surgery. Today, I woke up, took milk of magnesia, went “normal” once and now have massive diarrhea. Should I be concerned? I’m already having a hard time with taking in my protein and water and now diarrhea? Any advice would be fabulous and again, sorry for the TMI! 😞 -
I agree, I spent 2 nights in the hospital then went to a family member's house for one night. After that I went back to my house and was on my own. If I had to do it all over again, I would of stayed with family for another day or so. I had some obstruction issues ( I know, TMI!) that lasted a few days and were awful. I will say, I had my surgery on a Tuesday and went back to work the following Monday in a limited capacity. Best of luck!

Wow, that's so scary!! I'm glad you are ok now. I had H. Pylori too, and I was prescribed a PrevPack for it. It was basically Prevacid plus 2 antibiotics (amoxycillin and clarithromyacin). Some annoying side effects (yeast infection, sorry if that's TMI) but nothing dangerous!

I have a theory (completely NOT backed by scientific evidence) that when that band goes in, it changes the whole pressure system of your esophagus and stomach. I theorize that the smaller opening does not allow gas to go up and escape as a burp. (I never burp since surgery unless it's while I'm eating and even then they're small). So the gas stays in your stomach and the only way out is through the intestines. Now, I have always been a "gassier" person. And now, I am just a lean, mean, tootin' machine. But, since I've been eating healthier, they seem to stink less. So my husband is over in his chair breathing in huge amounts of methane and he's none for the wiser. And also, the reintroduction of real food after the cleansing of a liquid diet probably helps create more gas too. Watch out after surgery too. liquids in means liquids out and sometimes what you may think is a toot.....well, you can imagine. Was this whole response TMI? lol.

Has Surgery Changed Anyone's Marriage? Good Or Bad
Lilu replied to 303Gal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In my opinion a relationship ship built on anything other than love,understanding and the most important thing communication are doom to fail. If you ca call your mate a friend you will be okay. I hae children and the weight lost has hange my marriage in a way that has made my hubby and I happier. Bause we have kids we can't get the amount of alone time that we wish but he trys t do little get aways and we still try out new resturants. Eventhough this is TMI the best thing I am enjoying is my husband. I was the ft one in the relationship and sex ws a big issue, but not anymore. I am looking forward to the changes in our marriage I am truly blessed he is a soulmate. So look at the positive things that can happen. You enjoy the energy your going to gain and pray that your hubby can keep up.LOL Good luck -
How bad is the end result of magnesium citrate?
NurseGrace replied to mactrio's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
YEP do NOT go anywhere. Get yourself some good reading material because you will more than likely be setting up shop in the bathroom. Nice TP is also a must. TMI but I was cursing my off brand TP the night I had to do my prep -
Been pb'ing for an hour and a half now....
Wheetsin replied to Sue Magoo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've had 3 prolonged PBs but all of mine hurt, so I can't give advice on the "no pain, just burps" part of it. I've tried all the remedies I've heard of and none have ever worked for me. The only thing that maybe works is if I hunch over my island. Could be coincidence, but more than once when I've done this, within a minute I've had relief. Doesn't work all the time though. If you haven't yet, try taking some deep breaths and holding them, then exhaling slowly. This may do nothing, but it used to help me earlier on (although I get to a point where it hurts too much to take a deep breath, let alone hold it.) Also, sorry if this is TMI, but if you have the urge to go poop, give in to it. Sometimes this trikes me when I'm stuck, and going along with it really does seem to help. I have no idea why this is. (I used to call these "PBMs") -
I am having my surgery in just a few days (eek!) and I have a question about diarrhea. Did anyone have it post surgery? I will be traveling home on an airplane 3 days after my surgery and am so scared it will be a problem!
