TMI I know... Sleeved on Monday and I am on Clear liquids only (Water and G2 are all I've had). I'm only taking zofran, chewable Tylenol and Prevacid.?Today I had an incident where I had gas and then felt like there was a problem - and sure enough, I had pooped like a baby! What's happening?

Surprisingly, even though I've been very overweight most of my life, I've very rarely hard issues with chaffing in my sensitive areas. But since I've been losing weight, I've had a terrible time with chaffing in my groin area, and underneath my belly/pubic area. It hurts horribly bad and I'm miserable! I tried to find some of that Monistat soothing chaffing cream, but I couldn't find it at Walgreens tonight. I'll have to look somewhere else tomorrow. Has anyone else had this issue as they were losing weight?? It makes no sense that I'm having this problem considering I'm smaller now!

Fabulous February Post-Op's
Cecilia replied to ArmyWife&Mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey you guys... I need some TLC and maybe advice. I caught the bug that's been going around town a few weeks ago (three weeks ago, now that I look at the calendar). I missed a day of work early on, then went back, probably too soon, because rather than being on the mend, I felt like I was getting sicker. I did the whole "cough up crud" and other things too TMI to mention until I felt I was on the mend again, was working again, but Saturday my coworkers "voted me off the island" and sent me home because I was ghostly pale. You may have noticed I haven't posted much lately either. My stomach is constantly churning, nothing feels good to eat (all my comfort foods made me feel worse, naturally) and I can see that I'm retaining water. I'm bloated, gassy, and queasy (I bet you want to take me out on a date now!) plus this cold thing seems to have settled in my chest as my voice still sounds like that of an adolescent male going through the change. How much of this "taking so long to recover" do you think is related to the surgery, and how much do you think I should go in to see my doc? I keep telling myself "all they are going to say is you have an upper respiratory virus, get rest and plenty of fluids" so why go in and make myself *more* tired... Your advice? -
Fabulous February Post-Op's
Cecilia replied to ArmyWife&Mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
p.s. One last thing before I go to bed: Yes the cookies and coffee were bad, but I realize what did me in (and this may just be my version of dumping) was the 1/4 cup of salad I had. It tasted SOOOOO good! Fresh crisp lettuce! I could have eaten a plate full (good thing I didn't) but it pretty much passed through undigested, and from the looks of it, I didn't do a very good job chewing, either. TMI, I know... TMI! -

This is TMI , however, does it make anyone else nauseas when having a BM ? I at suppose to go back to work tonight and I am still trying to tell my doctor (who I think does not believe me) that something is not right. I really just do not know what to do from here. I am getting very depressed about this. -
Tmi Question, But Need To Know:
☠carolinagirl☠ posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i apologize first for my questions: with the pre-surgery diet and post-op diets (consisting of liquids/mushy etc).... how does this affect your bowel movement? i work in an office environment and just kinda curious at what to expect (before/after). on the after, how about the (gas) i read so much about..how do you handle that? appreciate any feedback. -
Was THAT dumping? (Wine related)
freethinker posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am beating myself up for this one - 6 wks post-op and last night I drank 2 iced-down glasses of wine over about 2 hour period. It was dumb and I was not thinking because at 4 am I awoke with a burning tummy. TMI - but the bathroom was not pretty: sweating, wanting die, other gross things and me laying on the cold bathroom floor... I am thinking it was the sugar in the wine that caused the "dumping"?? I feel like craaaap today. -
Confessional - Lets post our cheats/confessions/etc so others can see that we are all human
Frustr8 replied to Matt Z's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have a confession to make and it is not of dietary variety. I am posting on the hopes of making someone in BariatricLand feel less alone. If it is TMI I apologize but here it goes. Among my problems that my future RnY surgery will either abolish or lessen is lymphedema in my lower legs, not a fun condition to have. I am supposed to be taking Lasix which is a strong enough strength I have to supplement with K Clor so that I don't deplete my body's Potassium,levels . Do I like doing it? Not especially. I am currently drinking 84-120 oz of varied fluids daily, one because,i'm in training for surgery and two because I have 3 healthy functioning kidneys so can clear that much.. Plus I don't get so hungry when I'm full of water. So why would I want a medication that only makes me void more? So I confess I haven't been super compliant. Well I did see my surgeon Dr Needleman on Tuesday, anybody who follows me knows that, well in the chit chat he asked if I had any circulatory problems, I am a truthful little elk even if it makes me look dumb, so I told him about the lymphedema and faulty drainage from my legs." Hmmn" he says" one leg more than the other?" Left one I said , pulled off my shoe and sock, then he says " You are taking your Lasix faithfully, aren't you?" Oops I'm caught in the cross-hairs now, I m8ght have temporarily fooled PCP but I'm not going to fool THIS dude. So I said yes and I have been good every since To save on b b 73rd linen and the carpeting I have put myself in adult pull-ups at night. See I am also To be complient with my c pap until my surgery, I sleep more soundly and nature calls and I make my way to the pretty porcelain plumbing I can make it there with less embarrassment. Doesn't it figure, my bedroom is at the front of the house, that other room at the rear so I have to go through living room, dining room and kitchen to get there. And if I should have to dribble in the kitchen that's a fall risk. So pride has had to take a backseat for awhile. I figure as I get thinner i.Will move faster and get there in time again. So folks if you're walking with me in this,it will be better soon and it's okay anyway. Your friend Frustr8 .aka. Princess Tinkle-pants👖 -
Anybody know when your body adjusts to taking Saxenda? I took it about 5 months ago and didn't have any problems. I started taking it again about 4 days ago and it causing me bad cramping and loose stools (TMI)

after surgery 09/12/17 tuesday
Coffeelark replied to binocjohn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine on 12th too. Walking, even rocking in rocking chair help with gas pain. I use a warm pack on my abdomen and shoulders, it helps gas dissipate. I used a glycerine suppository, it helped me pass some gas. TMI. Rest some, but walk more. Water, water, water...in small sips. -
Things I will NOT miss about being fat.
rensterness85 replied to unbesleevable1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, this may be TMI but as a man ill finally be able to look down and actually see my you know what! Yippie lol. Also, I know I'm looking forward to saying bye bye to those additional meds I won't need once the weight makes its way off :-) Scheduled to be sleeved week of October 18th. [ATTACH]18335[/ATTACH] -
I first made contact with the Boom Princess about 12 years ago doing Low Carb. I had to call on her often for help. :biggrin0: Even the Benefiber doesn't help if I let myself get constipated. YUCK! and way TMI! I think I'm about 2x a week these days. I can't wait until adding raw veggies is allowed as I know that will help. I think I get stopped up by Protein shakes but it's a toss up.... constipated or losing hair? Hmmmm.... now what should I choose?

Okay I am sorry, but I am two days on mushies and my tummy is a gross gassy mess and I feel like I need to use the restroom, but nothing! I barely had any bm's with liquid but I thought that was probably normal, but this is super funky! How can I get in some fiber, my tummy has no room for anything more.

A record of my experience... from start to finish... rants and all!
njgal replied to njgal's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Ok folks... 6 weeks out and a TMI post for y’all: Ok so THIS is constipation. 45 mins of agony on the toilet [emoji37] then an enema, which, 5-7 mins after being inserted, burned like hell. I must’ve damaged something beforehand. Needless to say hubby and I are a new kind of close now [emoji4] At the risk of being gross; didn’t realize this much had accumulated, I mean, I’ve been having bms daily so what gives? And I’d been taking fiber too so I guess it’s time to up it even more 🤨 Feeling better now. -

I am constipated (tmi) lol... taking benefiber and stool softner so I hope it works....How are you? Whay city areyou in? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App -
I'm a thong woman..yes even big, I'd go to Fredrick's of Hollywood. I found that with all that back action going on, panties always looked huge on me. Plus the panty line...hubby loves it, I hate it. When it's time look at Fredrick's of Hollywood. They have great sizes and styles and you can get some really racy (crotchless for your hubby) and comfy (for you). I just realized I probably gave wayyy TMI but I love panties...the way some ladies like shoes. So I can tell you all the best places to get a good comfy pair that's also sexy!

Post- Op Day 3- Rashes And Revalations!
♥LovetheNewMe♥ commented on sweetsoutherngirl's blog entry in sweetsoutherngirl's Blog
Great progress, I totally understand the "TMI", I have plenty of bodily noises that I make now that I just except and move on. Sounds like you are doing well with your proteins and liquids. I remeber thinking in the early days how would I ever get in all that protein, I was barely drinking or taking in 400 calories a day but it gets easier over time. Good Luck. -
I am still a newbie here almost 2 months post-op and maybe this is tmi but I really need some advice! I think I have a stomache bug of some kind... going on day 4 of killer D! I am really concerned about hydration at this point trying to get extra water in but I dont know if this is enough..should I be calling my surgeon or riding this out? ???? Any advice?

Newly sleeved 2.28.13
jacee replied to prettylittleheart's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
nurse told me i can take a capsule of stool softner and that helped. Hello, Did you take a capsule or gel cap? Also what kind was it? Skip this line if your queasy TMI but a bowel movement at this stage of the game consists of liquid. Hey I am gratefull for that even. As it eases 3/4 of the worst of it for awhile. Out of 12 trips to the bathroom, I may be able to go 1 time. Its discouraging, cause its the only thing that helps. This too shall pass...I know..just wish it would hurry up. J -
Post Op Octosleevers 2012. Welcome To The Losers Bench!
ashleytn replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
RN, I was given medicine to make me loopy before being taken into the OR. I barely remember getting on the table. I wouldn't worry about it. They were just probably trying to help you relax. This might be a TMI question so my apologies beforehand. I'm now on my full liquids. I have a protein shake for breakfast and snack. Every time I drink one, I have to go to the bathroom. What in the world could be causing diaherria (I know that's not spelled right lol)? I am almost to the point of giving up on them. The shakes did not do that to me before surgery. -

June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!
Lala70 replied to gully90's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey guys! I’m also on a weight loss stale, which I’m partially okay with. I’ve lost 17 lbs, since June 28th. I’m starting my purée diet tomorrow which is a relief. I’m tired of jello, popsicles, and broth. I’m struggling because sorry if it’s TMI but I’m on my period for the second time this month! And goodness, this flow is heavy!!! I even got a yeast infection after taking antibiotics! Something I’ve never experienced. I’m also constipated. It’s a lot to go through for a person in one month. Like I said, sorry for TMI but just checking in and hoping I’m not the only one going through this. -
Ok... so I wax... actually hubby waxes me. We find it kinda romantic. I highly recommend Gigi brazilain wax... it comes in a kit with pre-wax oil which is a MUST. I get it at Sally's Beauty Supply. Several of my friends "sugar" instead of waxing. They say they prefer it but I like the waxing better. TMI? Oh well...somebody asked. :thumbup:
