I hope everyone faired well today. I did not have to be at the hospital until 10:45 and the surgery was delayed a bit. I did not get to my room until after 6pm. I did the 11 day pre-op diet and lost 13 lbs in that timeframe. As of the time of this posting (12:43 am) I have been up twice walking, pee'd twice (tmi i know) and just waiting for a big giant gas bubble. I do see the 'pain' that people talk about in their left shoulder. I have it myself but isnt too bad if I walk. ttyl

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! -

I am so happy to be here! The nausea has finally gone away. Yay! I do have another question for you. This might me TMI so let me know. My surgery was the 24th and I haven't had a poop. Nothing. I don't even feel like I need to but I kind of have a dull pain on my lower left side. Have any of you felt this before? Is it constipation? Sorry for such a gross question!! -
I agree with the poster Jack. It always helps me to take my time. I've had a "stuck" incident and have had problems since. Today I tried to take a tiny bite of BBQ beef. I chewed and chewed, but it got stuck. Tried the hot coffee trick, no luck. Then tried the "downward dog position" from Yoga and boom, it popped out, along with the coffee and it all landed on my bedroom floor. At that moment my pride and dignity went out the window. DH walks in and sees me bending over with my rear up in the air and this mess on the floor and he looked horrified, nevermind, I will stop here...TMI!

sept 24 surgery date anyone else?
midwestchickie replied to littlesweet's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cleans out the sinusus..haha. I'm on day 4 now...feeling better today. I'm sure this is a little tmi, but just to pass along to others reading, I had sort of *forgot* that it had been over 6 days since going poopie....I wasn't having any of your normal indications that I needed to go and I figured I was eating much, so no big deal. Well, I guess my body rebelled last night and all of a sudden, I did have to go...which is good. I felt sooooo much better after that it seemed strange to me that I wasn't even thinking that I should need to go. So...moral to the story...well...I'm not really sure....go poopie! Haven't had any of the referred gas pain, yay! In my Quest for some tasty fare, I got some panera onion Soup to take home yesterday.....I blended it (onions) in my food processor and boy...was it yummy. My desire for some *real* food is growing with each day, but I'm hanging in there! Don't want to ruin anything. Hope everyone is doing good today. -
SNT, I think you'll find that by agreeing with me, your life will be that much smoother, rewarding, enriching, etc. At least that's what I keep trying to tell me wife and kids. So far, not much luck.... Leslie, maybe I do watch adult swim....and maybe I am naked, weeping and eating Cheetos while I watch it....oops, TMI? Diva, just keep thinking deep thoughts, mmmmm'kay?

I hate it when people post just to post.....
Oregondaisy replied to TerriDoodle's topic in The Lounge
I am not exactly sure where to post this. I know a lot of vets come here rather than newbies. I have been puking in my sleep. I don't know why. I am not tight. I never pb or slime. Nothing feels stuck. Then when I am sound asleep, something is coming up. Last night it was 4 different times. Called the doc this am and all they did was give me Nexium. I don't see how that is going to help as I already take Previcid every morning. I am going to put something next to the bed so instead of running to the bathroom ( sorry TMI) I can put it in a bowl or whatever to see if it's water or what it is. I have to take Ambien, to sleep, so I really can't take it earlier. Last night I stayed up half an hour after I took it, and slept reclining with pillows for awhile too. I noticed while running to the bathroom at one point, it was 4 am. -
I had mine today! It was quick and painless. I had an upset tummy the rest of the day, but I kept drinking water and tea and it finally got all the barium out. Don't be surprised if you have a few loose stools after. I know TMI, but its true! Good luck, just remember it is all part of the journey. kelli

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.

Ok so I'm thinking I might be dehydrated but I'm not thirsty so that's strange. Anyway, I ate a granola bar for breakfast at about 9:30am, then I ate a soft shell taco(tore off most of the tortilla and took out the lettuce since it was only iceberg). Anyway even after the granola bar I started getting a little pain. It's a pain on my up left stomach. It almost feels like constipation or like somethings trying to move around or be digested, and I just took a stool softner since (TMI alert!) I've been bleeding when I go number 2 and it hurts, its probably a combination of not drinking enough water and cutting breads out of my diet so i'm losing fiber....Anyway just some insight from people...personal stories? lol

Leslie... so glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Please be careful with your thyroid meds!!!! We MISSED you big time here! Welcome back. Mamato... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! What a perfect b-day gift from your DH. Cake is a must on b-days, so glad you enjoyed it! Lyn... midlife crisis... no way! Its just you doing what YOU want! Sounds like a self assured woman with a great sense of humor!!! Georgia... 16 minutes sounds like a great goal! Just think, last week you were struggling with 8! WTG Girl! Renewed... are you still on your runner's high! I had a great weekend. My girlfriend came for a visit with her 3 hellion sons! Usually it is very chaotic/crazy/stressful, but this weekend was so much better. When she called on Wed to see if they could come for a visit, I told her I really wasn't up to the stress. She understood. But then my DH convinced me to have them come. So before she arrived, she read them the riot act and they all listened and were really good. You have to imagine this... her sons are 13, 11 and 7. The oldest is 6' 5" tall, has an angry disposition, is moody and disrespectful. The next is 5'10" tall, bounces between being sweet and kind and moody & aggressive. The youngest is 5' 4" tall, is a very sensitive boy, intellectually challenged like my son, but fights with his oldest brother all the time. They eat us out of house and home, don't ever want to do anything but argue and play video games, won't leave their mom alone, and are always pushing for her to buy them things. She is a single mom, still very angry at her X who just remarried, and is not a great mom. She loves them, but is a push over, so they get away with everything. I love my friend dearly, but OMG it is stressful to be the bystander. However, I have to say, she did great this weekend and it was one of the best visits we've had in years. Ok... probably TMI, but wanted to share. I'm going to run on M, W, F this week, then rest on Sat before my race on Sun. I plan to run 5k today and Wed, and then do a shorter run on Fri.

I'll be wishing him good luck Shiny. You guys deserve all the best. I admire your willpower to resist the scale. I can't, gotta see it go down even when I know it will come right back up. Anyone else watch "You Are What You Eat"? After a good "poo", it's straight to the scale. LMAO - I know TMI, sorry.

I actually had this happen this afternoon ... Inadequate hydration and a touch of diahrrea (sorry tmi, I know) so make sure you're hydrated!

Irritated Stoma, Acid Reflux, can't lay down, HELP ME!
Kelliebelly replied to want2beme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Haha yes I know what u mean - havent tried it myself. I am on Nexium for mine but just the thought of drinking it turns me off. I have real issues drinking anything unpleasant - medicines, barium etc - I always end up bringing it back up TMI i know. -
Good Morning to all my little June Bugs! :thumbup: No one has been posting on this board for a few days so I thought I would spark it up again! I've had lots of little NSV's since June and all were very similar to yours, so everytime I would read one of yours I'd just chuckle to myself. So here's one that I had this morning that just put a huge smile on my face...I have a pair of really sexy knee high boots that for the past 2 years I would have to leave half zippered under my pant leg because it would not zip up all the way for the life of me! Well, to my delight, they actually zipped up all the way with no trouble at all this morning!!! Yayayayayayaaa!!! :smile2: Since surgery, I have slimmed down all over, and not just in one spot so the loss is really coming along nicely. Hubby keeps saying how I'm looking sexier by the day and he can't seem to keep his hands off me! :smile: (I know, I know, TMI!!) So, I've lost 40 lbs total since the beginning of the year and 32 lbs since surgery!!! I think I'm doing great and seem to be right where I should be with the loss! People are really starting to notice lately and I've been getting so many compliments, which feels great! Also, I've had virtually no sagging or loose skin at all. I think that has alot to do with my age and my skin type (we have really great skin in my family) and also with the fact that I've been walking, walking, walking! Anyhow, hope you're all doing well! Does anyone have any good meal ideas that you'd like to share? I do get bored sometimes so I'd like to shake it up a bit! Hope to hear from you all soon! I also need to update my ticker and I can't quite figure out how to do it! Take care all! xoxoxo

My BF is 33 and he can go for about 40 mins tops. I am the same as th girls earlier once I have got mine I would like it to end ASAP! We don't have sex every day but I do make sure that he climaxes every day with errr hand or mouth (prob TMI) Keeps him happy bless him!

My gas is moving too and I feel much better today than yesterday. I finally had a BM too, I know, TMI, but that means my body is getting back to normal. Can anyone feel their port? It feels like it's protruding a little. My DH just thinks it's that way since everything inside is swollen. We'll see. Teri - I had a little panic moment on the way to surgery. But looked at my life right now and I'm not happy with myself and how I look or feel so this is a good thing. Plus both of my sister-in-laws have had this done and they can eat the same things I eat but they just stop much sooner so it is not like I will miss out on all the flavors I used to love. My band will just make me more conscious of the food choices I make. I hope that helps. Denise

I have to wonder if it is all connected. It's possible. Our bodies are like that. AND about our TMI posts, they will just realize it's Dee and Munchie, if Mini was here, she'd be with us! -

I haven't actually been banded seven days yet but here's what I have so far Thursday 9/11- starving all morning til my surgery at noon, when I was in the recovery room I was in SO much F***ing pain all I could do was cry and point to my stomach (I also Has a huge tumor removed which actually hurt much worse than my band) Finally got the pain under control and was at home at 7:30 pm, drank some Water tokk some drugs slept, woke up crying becasue my drugs wore off, had to wait another hour to take them, this happened twice Friday 9/12- Felt queasy and semi hungry all day, had some liquids took pain meds at appropriate times, walked a little, not too bad a day all said, i just selpt alot, Horrible burping/stomach rumbling, liquid diarrhea (I know TMI) developed cold/allergy upper respiratory thing cough when I lay down, back hurts alot gas pains Saturday 9/13- Felt great, was off the pain meds, ate more that 1000 calories, walked, did not take a nap probably pushed it too hard, slept through the night Sunday 9/14- Felt like crap, nauseated all day long, cursed myself for getting the damn band Monday 9/15- No pain at all, severe aversion to eating, very very itchy incisions Tuesday 9/16- No pain at all, decided that if eating doesn't make me ill, I will force myself to eat I have been getting all of my fluids in though every day that is SUPER important, I have very mixed feelings about a band I thought I would love, probably just emotional stuff... hope this helps. -
You know you have good restriction when...
bandpal replied to steph_co's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks, guys! I tried taking the liquid in small sips and I'm not as queasy. Yay! It's amazing how hard it is for me to think small. No matter what you're eating or drinking, you can always cut it in half. I got an unfill today... Hope that works out for you, Cindy. I know you've been uncomfortable. I think it will be easier to loose weight without adding all the extra calories to my meals. I enjoy a little olive oil mixed in with my meals - good Mediterranean flavor, less calories than gravy or mayonnaise, tasty and a little grease on the wheels for the other end of the train track (TMI). I think I'm at the sweet spot with 7.25 cc's. Hope so. Me too! Go get 'em! -
Hi girls, just dropping in, to update....things are not good. I go the stupid stomach virus again, ran high fever, and vomitted non stop for hours. Not to be in a TMI situation, but for one reason or another I was in the bathroom non stop! Lasted for a day and a half, got a shot for the nausea finally, and it eased. But from that day on I have been totally unable to eat or drink, and get anything to pass. I drink, because I am obsessed with it, I am dying of thirst----but get a cup or so in, and up it comes. Well we had family coming in from all over for my MIL's 80th birthday party, and I made it through, then Rick took me to urgent care, where I received IV fluids. The instructions were to sim 5l. from a sysringe every 5 minutes or so (= to 1 tsp.) with the goal of 3 TBSP per hour. Now I am to try not to swallow any of this, rather allow it to absorb through the tissue in my mouth, sublingually. I am to keep my stomach pouch as totally empty as possible. I am supposed to suck on popsicles and all my drinks have to be full sugar versions. My weight is dropping rapidly, but not in a healthy manner of course. I weighed in last night in ER at 154.5----totally bizarre to not be concerned with weight loss all of a sudden! I have been in contact with my band Dr. he supports the way we are handling it. I have to talk to his office manager tomorrow, he would have called her but she was out of town with a sons soccer game. I need to find out how to get (if it will) my insurance to cover. If my PCP can refer me to the band Dr. or if I need my PCP to order the swallow study, then refer me.....or if I must fly blind with a local surgeon for a total band removal. He said the TT has pulled up and likely is the issue at hand.....I am like way too restricted, even though I have no fill, and it is due to pressure on the band. I am scared and unhappy with my options......but life is not always fair I suppose. So....I will update you as I have any changes.......and when I have more energy to sit here, I will try to get some personals done! Til then (((((hugs))))))) to all! Kat

Terry so thankful you checked in. I have been up and down all night checking the weather channel. Worried does not begin too cover it. I am back towhere I was when I had the stomach virus before. I cannot eat nor drink without it coming back up. I am keeping some liquids in, because I am not totally dehydrated.....but not enough to feel like it is doing me much for health. One minute I plan on calling my Dr, on Monday---the next I remember that as soon as my swelling went down I was back to normal, so I don't want to get to hasty, know what I mean? The biggest problem I am having is not taking in enough to keep me warm----I can hardly type because I am shaking with cold----I am freezing all the time. And I have short sleeves for the party, where I know my SIL will have the AC going HIGH--they are both menopausing!! So need to find me a jacket that will work---but most of mine are too big I am sure! The scale remains in the 150's! Scares me! I never had problems, so suddenly now when I do I feel like I am losing too much. I lose according to how I feel, but yesterday afternoon, Rick got home, and well....he had been gone, and one thing led to another---when all of a sudden he says My God I can almost put my hands around your waist! He was freakihg out, and now he is determined I am going to see the Dr. he is insistant I am losing too much weight now.Hell before his belt would not go around my waist even......so it is a major change!!! I think the daylight and position had something to do with it!!!! Sorry TMI----but he is on my case now! Pamela----the hurt you are desribing, is exactly why my bike is hanging in the garage collecting dust!!! That reason exacitacally!!! Gotta go, guess we are going to go check out some of the airshow before decorating for the party....will check in tonight I imagine, and will be watching the weather for you TX Vi's......please keep safe!

This is about my husband
MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have been pondering for a couple weeks now whether or not to post a thread like this but I really need to vent to someone and to get some advice. I'm not exactly sure how to write this post so if it sounds stupid, I truely am sorry. My husband and I have been married for 6 months and 5 days now but been together for 2 years and 5 days. When we met, I was 32 pounds lighter than I am right now. I guess after we moved in together I quit trying to lose rest of my weight and didn't care. We have 4 children together. 2 from my previous marriage and 2 from his previous marriage. After alot of talking about it I decided to have the lapband done and was banded on Aug. 18 of this year. Since my surgery I have lost 14 pounds and am pretty happy with that. This is my problem. My husband (whom I love with every breath I take) is always saying that I am going to end up cheating on him. You have to understand I am 30 and he is 41. That is a 11 year age difference. He has been married twice before and both time, the women cheated on him. I have told him time and time again, that I love him, I am extremely happy with him, I want nobody else, and that he is everything that I have ever wanted in a man. He is a very hard worker (most days he works 18 hours out of 24, he is a truck driver). He is a very good provider, he is good with my children and his and treats my as his own, he takes care of me, makes me feel like a queen, and really good in the sack (I know TMI, TMI). I just had to through that last part there in.lol Can someone please help me to find a way to make him see that I never in a million years would leave him for someone younger or anyone else. He is driving me crazy and I want him to be like he was before I had the surgery. The man that knew I loved him and wanted nobody else.
