I had a pretty big eating day yesterday! It felt like I was eating all day.. So I'm going to rein it in at least today because I feel very bloated. It doesn't help that I have about one bowel movement a week! I know tmi but its a fact of my life theses days! 0_o

Hey guys! Dinner tonight, 3oz filet mignon and 1/3 cup of peas. TMI but, before this surgery, I couldn’t eat much steak. I would consider myself lucky if I went to the bathroom once a week. 10 days would be unbearable. After surgery this all changed, so I’m able to enjoy a steak now and then. I’m much better at #2 now, thanks for asking. 🤣 PS. I had my 2 month post op check up and lost 30% of weight... that’s above average at 20%. Woohoo! Probably all that poop-weight. Ok I’m done. Lol -

Good to know my team is not the only one who is ok with it. For me it’s a good trade off. Since surgery water hasn’t tasted the same so not only is it helping me get down fluid but also tmi - go to the bathroom... I’m still on the hunt for another alternative/hoping the water problem goes away. -

I am now 5 days postop, surgery 12/10 and still haven't passed a BM? Anyone else experience this? Gas, yes, plenty, but no BM. Sorry TMI wondering if this is normal? -

So sorry for the UTIs. I know how miserable they are as I have had them chronically since my third child was born 40 years ago. I did have a bladder repair when I had my last (10th) baby 25 years ago and it helped for awhile. I take cranberry supplements everyday and that does help. When I do get a full-blown infection, macrobid works but Cipro never does. It took several cultures to prove to my male doctors that Cipro doesn't work for me. Doctors seem to prefer using it first and apparently it works well for most people. The other two things that work for me when I'm miserable are drinking straight cranberry juice--unsweetened and really awful but works almost instantaneously and the other is a prescription pill that numbs the urinary tract. I haven't had to take the numbing pill since surgery so I'll have to make sure it's ok now. I've had two UTIs since my surgery on Dec 10. One took the full treatment of antibiotics but the other I was able to control with the cranberry juice and supplements. If I can treat an infection when I first feel it coming on I have pretty good success. I'm sure this is tmi but maybe there is something here that might be helpful to someone. The doctor who helped me the most is a woman who said she had one infection once and so will not let another woman suffer like that Good luck everyone. Feel better! -

Today I struggle some since I felt hungry most of the day, which is not the norm, I usually have to remind myself to eat. I ate my 3 meals, but then for a snack I had 3 small pretzels and 1 hershey kiss which I craved, I know bad. My stomach tolerated them, but they are not "good" for me. The hershey kiss tasted different than I remember them tasting, not as good, so strange. I am sure if I had 2 or more I would have gotten sick though. But overall not a bad day, I actually was a lot more thirsty after the pretzels, so I drank 1 extra bottle of water than I normally did and then a big BM, yes, sorry tmi, but the water must have did it. I also tried artifical crab meat today, I really liked it, protein is good, I just wish their wasn't so much sodium in them. So excited to be on regular foods now, but I am finding myself still going back to previous favorites...greek yogurt, chili, refried beans and cheese, and eggs. -

That's great! You know, I realized something a couple of months ago. I usually weigh immediately after waking up and pee'g (sorry TMI) - then I take my shower. I then drink 1/2 of a protein shake with my meds. I decided I'd weigh again after my shower and I noticed the weight is usually lower. (I know I'm adddicted to my scale) It made me wonder if the body needs a little time to shift after waking up. So now I weigh after my shower and that's the weight I take as my morning weight. I'm glad the TOM weight is moving out of there! -
Way to go ASH! That is so exciting! Your next through this journey! Chrissy, I had to stop weighing myself everyday because like you I dropped real fast and then it slowed way down and it was frustrating. Now I weigh myself every 4 or 5 days and it has seemed to help keep me not in so much turmoil. On the tmi subject, when I take the vitamins I have always taken 1 stool softner as just that extra iron gets me plugged. When I told Liz my list of vitamins she kinda freaked and told me to stop taking those stool softners as your bowels begin to depend on them. I am stopping for now but I won't let myself get plugged...lol tmi, I know. So, I had my preops today with Dr Paks and Dr Chen and all set to go! 13 days until surgery! oh ya, I was down more so my total weight loss thus far is 31 pds!

I just tried a quest protein bar. They are so sweet! Sugar is low so weird. I got diarrhea (tmi) 30 minutes later. I never liked candy bars so it makes sense these were too sweet for me. Too bad cuz I was hoping to have found an alternative to protein shakes

I had surgery 17th and my right side is killing when I stand up or sit on toilet. I can barely wipe myself when I pee. Sorry TMI. What can this be? My incisions all look okay. Once I walk around a bit it's okay. And sitting on recliner is fine. -
TMI time: A former lover had such firm taught muscle tightened skin that I use to touch it obsessively. I'm sure he thought it was some insane sexual attraction when in reality I was extremely jealous and trying to find out how to imitate it 😒

AND it is my other neighbor from across the alley that does the mammograms...nothing like waving to the neighbor knowing they have seen your boobies up close and in person. Plus, the gyne started me on Yaz, and it is making my boobs hurt soooo bad, so the thought of having a mammogram is about as appealing as someone torturing me. (Sorry, TMI! But you already knew about my 80 boobs, so what the heck!) -
Hi April! I think it's different for everybody . . .except protein, 60 grams minimum. When I was getting 120 grams Robin said it was too much, excess protein is stored as fat by the body just like excess carbs or fat. As to the rest, I know Liz and Robin don't want us to count grams, but I do it anyways and here is what I have determined is optimal for me (does not mean that I DO it, just that I feel good when I stay in the limits!) Fats: About 28-30 gr/day, max of 10 grams "bad" (saturated) fats Fiber: 25 to 30 grams, this is very important for me! Without adequate fiber I can't get things done, TMI ya know Carbs: At least 20 but under 60 "net" carbs - so total carbs minus fiber. I get almost all of my carbs from fruits, vegies tofu products and legumes (lentils a favorite). It sounds like lo-carb and I guess it is, but you can eat a LOT of fruit to hit 45-90 total carbs (before fiber is taken out) Sodium: Supposed to be under 2200 per my PCP, and I rarely achieve that goal. I am usually around 2800, on a bad day I can hit 4000-5000 or more

Hope you now have a complete understanding of bridezilla. LOL Nicollie - had fun today - lets try to get together again in a couple weeks - next saturday I'm going to a "holiday" party in the city - who holds a holiday party after they are all over - HMMM but after that! Can't wait to see you in your new SMALLER favorite jeans! Pammie - your daughter is so sweet and completely adorable! Riley - love the clothes - HOWEVER - the slacks give me "camel toe" TMI???

Jes - love the jeans - Oh, and the overalls - I was just telling everybody how my husband made me give away my size 4X overalls LOL These are a little snug on the lower belly so not quite there yet - but I got into them and they don't have a single X on the tag - woo hoooooooooo!

I am afraid to eat, I can gain that 2 lbs. back just by looking at food! You are not the only one scared of Robin ya know, Tina :bored: Good I am glad they open at 8 . . . still I will need a decaf coffee! But at least I will have somewhere to relieve my bladder, it is a constant thing with me, TMI I have not been at all sore after either of my fills, what is THAT all about?? I kept a band-aid on there with some antibiotic ointment for a day 'cause I am subject to infection, but no soreness to speak of . . . . thats weird Hey did you hear Kaiser SSF is doing the sleeve now??

Holy crap Riley! You're freaking melting!!! I guess that fill did the trick to get you back up to speed. That's incredible, you're down almost 30 lbs in 2 months! I hope my weight loss is that quick. I had my 2 week appt today and everything went great. I'm down 12.5 lbs since surgery and my blood pressure was only 110/67, lower than my doc has EVER seen in my chart! I was glad about that. My incisions are healing great and she said I had good color in my cheeks for being only 2 weeks out. We talked about weight loss goals and she said she's love to see me at 210 for my first goal, only 35 lbs away. Then for my ultimate goal she said she's be happy with me anywhere from 155-175. She has me, my mom, and my 4 sisters for her patients so she knows our bodies and said that since we all weigh more than we look (3 of my sisters are 160, 170 and 200 but wear 8, 10 and 12's, they look smaller than they weigh) that she thinks I'll look great at that range and that 144 (my BMI target weight) I would look too skinny...imagine that!?!?! So, that's good news to me, just means I don't have to lose as much but will still look awesome. So, my original ticker will stay the same with a goal of 175. Then when I get there I'll probably change it to 155 and try to get down to that...we'll see. I can't even imagine being under 200 right now! Anyway, that was my day. I'm feeling great, my only "pain" just feels how a sideache feels but in the front left part of my stomach (under my left boob). I haven't had to take Tylenol for 3 days now, I think I'm done with it. OH! ALSO--totally girly TMI, but I started my period yesterday at 32 days (I've ALWAYS been a 32 day girl before gaining weight) and that's the first time I've been on time in YEARS. Every month since starting to lose weight in November my periods have gotten closer together--50 days, 45, 40, 36, and NOW I'm getting back to normal! I've never been so excited to start a period, lol. Have a great day everyone!

Mdargen! NOT TMI! We've all been there and NOT done that! Unfortunately, I purchased every OTC softener available to man and woman! AND not one worked. AT one time, I was putting miralax in prune juice three times a day. Nothing! It was bad! Then I sent Natalie an email and she said to try a piece of fruit. I did and it worked! An apple, pear, grapes, anything like that works for me! So now, I try to eat a piece of ripe fruit everyday... sometimes, if I'm hungry twice a day. I also upped my fiber! I eat high fiber crackers and bread (toasted). Good luck but know it's normal. You're not eating much! -
Liz- I feel for you on the PMSing! My Dr. put me on this new BC that is the absolute lowest hormonal BC pill out there and I was on the you know what for 2 weeks, I know TMI but I was SOOOO grumpy the whole time! I could kill her LOL! Nicollie- This Saturday? Where? Tamra- If you remind me I will be there! Hope everyone is doing good! Kinda slow today huh? PS.. My orientation is in 2 days @ Fremont Kaiser!

Lee-gear up girl!!! Get ready it's your turn. As for me the MOM did the following: 1. Didn't work until the day after the surgery and the squirts/runs/blowouts. Sorry for the TMI 2. Nope, I didn't stay home all day. Ran errands, close to home tho 3. Yes, I could have worked 4. Yes, could have been driving around. Like Donna said, everyone's body works differently. It takes alot to get me going. Reggie-PM me your telephone number. Candra-Give me your plate!! LOL Tamra-way to go on the food and pureed meals, because I pureed with my mouth. Don't be like me. I tend to stick to broth soups or plain salads with grilled chicken when I go out. Also, I always ask for my salad dressing on the side so I can control how much of it I eat.

Hey everyone, just checking in... Riley have fun on eharmony. It's nice to to be open to the possibilities. Monique, yes tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to try and do better too. My last few days have been all bad. I didn't even do the bridge this morning. It will be nice to see you all on the 14th we should probably stick with one location so if we roll to Peteluma let's check the walk out there. Ok, a little TMI, all this protein and no leafy greens has me plugged up! Plus I've been eating all this crap thus I can't crap Hehehe,,,:scared2: Oh Pat, yes DR P is going away on Dec 17th for a while so you may have to wait til the new year. But try and get to your goal that way you can pick your date. I can't believe the stupid bridge is not open yet, I can't work from home tomorrow I have 3 meetings so I guess that means BART and leaving home reeeeeal early.

Hey Candra - Not sure why they said 6 as I thought the other two times it was 6:30 and they don't usually take you back until 6:45-7. I wonder if I can convince Doc Who to discharge me tomorrow night. Nikki says fat chance but I'm going to try. Hospital co-pay is $250 but just $15 for surgery… I can think of a few things to spend $200 on... Which conference room is the support group usually in? The ones near the surgery check-in? Not sure I want to show up in a gown but I could give it a try. Stop by the room if you get a chance. Just get my last name from Nikki when she calls you. I'm sooo hungry. Only had a can of soup and a couple carnation instant breakfast drink things. Want to make sure my stomach is empty for the separation. Goodnight everyone. The MoM has worn me out! My ass is on fire. TMI

Benefiber every day for me!! I take about six a day right before I go to bed. Still sometimes I don't go everyday. TMI i know I know.............if I drink hot tea or drink hot broth that helps alot too!! And if I take benefiber than drink something hot it solves the problem right away!! I indulged in rasberries tonight. don't know what the damage is but oh they are so good................
