?question....... ?might Be Tmi But Have To Ask
grayeybeauty posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok I'm 12 weeks out and I feel awesome lost 53lbs so far...nothing bothers me I can eat whatever I want..energy like never before...so here is my question...is it normal to have such a high sex drive...I'm thinking something is wrong with me..lol -
I was never warned about losing too much weight, I was told not to gain anymore weight... As it stands, I am 39 pounds from any chance of getting my surgery cancelled. I want to lose as much as I can to lower my set point, iwth the goal of getting me closer to my goal weight, which ultimately 185 to 195. Truth be told, I would rather lose the weight on my own, and never need surgery. But too many past diet failures have led me to where I am at now, the six month march to surgery, and a new healthier me. Alabama definitely does not have a shortage of doctors, I'm sure there is a physician just waiting for us to call. Until this current doctor, I had ran through a couple, including a woman doctor. Nothing against woman, she just had a problem giving me the "yearly male check-up" if you catch my drift... thank goodness to, as she had some serious finger nails. Ok TMI, sorry, but these things are important. I need to find a new doctor with who has nothing but my good health in mind. First thing firs, I need to get through the next 3 visits (including today), then I can put this doctors office behind me... without burning any bridges, just in case.

Two Questions.....
shrinkingfatchick85 replied to Sunnyd623's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats on your surgery date!!! I found gas pains minimal as long as I forced myself to walk at least a few minutes ever hour and at night I would use a hitting pad to relax my abdomen muscles enough to let the gas out(maybe a little TMI but it was very helpful for me). As far as the drinking, well not drinking, it was definitely an adjustment at first. I used a timer for a long time to remind me of the rules. Honestly there are times I still set a timer to refocus myself when I get off track. Staying focused and remembering the rules will help keep you successful. -

Weighed this morning. Same! I'm stuck on 200. Maybe tmi, but it's that time of the month too so I might be holding for a couple of days. I went to the gym last night. My foot is still bothersome after my fall off the steps, but not that much. I just do the elliptical, since it feels better than the treadmill. I did 2.1mi on it. Need to keep log and update the challenge...guess I should see what the rules are. Hope y'all have a blessed day! -

I bought some Yakult Probiotic drinks. I'm taking one a day. Might be tmi, but I've gotten a yeast infection. Everything is off...all my good bacteria went somewhere. Trying to replace it now. Argh.... -

Newme17 replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Same here. No bm. My doc told me if I don't have one by a Friday, tomorrow, I need to take milk of magnesia to get things going. All the meds will constipate us. But happily I have been tooting, I know, maybe tmi, but I'm glad it's happening. Less gas to deal with. I'm cold. Before and after surgery, always. Wearing a big hoodie, fleece pjs pants, socks, and have a fleece blanket on top. Lol -

Wow, you sure have had a rough few weeks with the illness. It is weird that you mention leg soreness because I had two days of it last weekend. I thought at first it was just from my running, but I had never experienced that type of all over soreness before. I ended up taking an ibuprofen on Monday night and it went away. I did have a larger BM Monday morning (TMI) and felt instantly back to normal. I sure hope the antibiotics take care of everything for you. Do you still have your gallbladder? That can be an issue sometimes. Feel Better. -
Whos in September? We need some September buddies!
LoryLosesXS replied to janie2024's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I cheated and ate a Babybel cheese. 9g protein and 70 cals. I let it melt in my mouth before I swallowed it. So far no issues. The fact that I got to bite into something and chew it made me feel a little better. I've only consumed 400 cals today. I'm going to try some applesauce too. It will help so I don't get constipated from the cheese. TMI I know. -
I'm a week and three days out of surgery, and four days away from broth and rice water. POTATOES. I feel bad as it's my partner's birthday but I'll be just waiting for my dietitian to say "yes potatoes" as my first check-in is that day too XD Other than that, I feel okay? Some pain in the suture where my stomach was removed (TMI) but the gas has finally gone thankfully. Still some pain when I sleep but I think it's just because I am a very on-stomach or the side-sleeper. Happy to hear of everyone's success so far!

July 2011 Bandsters!
jersgirl replied to lifeisjustbeginning2011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, I'm almost at the end of day 4 and I have been feeling pretty good for the most part. I had the worst gas pains that felt like horrific heartburn for 2 days then overwhelmingly bloated yesterday. Now today from just drinking clear liquids I have diarrhea (tmi I know). I can't tell if I have hunger pains or if that is just the feeling of the band around my stomach, lol kind of a strange predicament. Do you think I will be ok to start full liquids tomorrow since I have been keeping liquids down and feel like I am past the gas pains for the most part or should I stick to 5 full days of clear liquids? I know everyone's diet is a bit different. Mine is 5 days clear liquids, days 6 & 7 full liquids then puree for 2 weeks then on to regular food for 1 week prior to my fill at 5 weeks. I am so excited for this life changing journey and to have fabulous people to share it with. I would love to see some great ideas for pureed food if anyone has some. -
Lapband Vs Sleeve Vs Bypass Surgery

Hehe. TMI! -
TMI vomit talk warning... @@Niquee, my husband is about to hit his surgiversary next week after having a sleeve. And he regurgitates several times a week. In fact, and this is kinda weird but true, he uses it as a tool when he's out to eat with coworkers or in social situations with food as a way to clear the stomach if he gets full too early. While he can do it voluntarily, there are sometimes he just has to. Foodmush is it, no bile or stomach acid. We've talked to our doc about it, and while he recommends all the usual, eating slower, chewing more thoroughly, no liquids half hour before or after.... he also said that because it's not wreching or clenching the stomach muscles, it's just basically food backing up and out. Didn't say it was "good" per se but he wasn't overly worried about the long term effects. I'm concerned for the effects on his esophagus, because he had acid reflux before surgery and his esophagus was a little beat up. But, so far, while inconvenient most cases, it hasn't caused any other problems to date. For me, I've only thrown up two or three times since surgery and it has been horrible, whole body wretching experiences. It makes my eyes and nose water and my whole body hurts. So thankfully it hasn't happened often. I hope the "traditional advice" works somehow for you or that you can pinpoint the "trick" to your own situation.

I've been off doing the family birthday thing. My Dad, his Dad, and our youngest DD all had birthdays today! We had a big gathering last night, both siblings of Ricks from Denver were in, so we had a big dinner, I made a huge pot of pulled pork, it went over really well, lots of compliments. Always makes ya feel good! Then today we took my Dad out. My family was invited to the big bash at his folks, but Rick has a SUPER LOUD family. My parents are much more layed back, they are not used to the volume his family reaches, and kids (18-25) wrestling around, and babies crying etc. They opted to stay home, and we went to dinner today! With just the kids, and my brother, them and us. Then we ended up back at Rick's folks house for the end of the game, and it was chaos like I cannot even describe. His Mom and Dad and one sister are die hard Cowboy fans, Rick, or son and his brother are equally die hard Bronco fans. How they kept from scaring the bejusus out of the new baby I have no idea, they yelled, and argued, and laughed and jumped up and down.....was a bit, shall we say, WILD! We were happy with the outcome....and I will say it here, it made it a special win to me because Ricks Mom is so obnoxious in her cheering for the other team. She acts hateful over it, like it is a personal thing. Made me chuckle over it if nothing else did!!! My stomach is still trashed out. I cannot seem to eat without it causing me to bloat up, and then causing bathroom issues. Sorry TMI I know, but I am not sure why, or what the problem is. I know it is exhausting me, I slept for 10 hours last night and could go to bed now without a problem. But tonight is my TV night----Extreme Home Makeover, Desperate Housewives, and Brothers and Sisters. I seriously doubt I will make it through them all, good thing I can come back and watch them later. Rick is still feeling bad as well, his has morphed into some sinus problems as well tho. I do know I am losing weight with the problem, which is all good, but I also know I am not getting the nutrition I need from the food I am eating, and that is not good. And I have been behaving for the most part. I had 3 birthdays, and had one small cupcake, no ice cream nothing else!!! Not due to willpower, just due to not feeling like any of it sounded good to me. Yeah, I must still be sick. Food always sounds good! Well my shows are starting!!!

Sleevers over 300lbs?
simply.silly replied to dstined4gr8tnes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been doing bootcamps and I am on a clean eating diet, I walk daily and I have three kids so I'm always on the go. I'm wondering if I'm psyching myself out?? I can't eat a full meal anyway lol and as far as cheating like having a sweet something I do but I usually only have a couple bites and don't do that but maybe twice a month. I feel like it's mostly this hanging fat that's keeping me back, it's not just loose skin there is some of that too but it's really bad, I will try to attach a picture sorry it may look nasty!!! I don't have the money but I honestly think I need plastic surgery to fix this, I have tried so hard to tighten this belly flab it's from rib cage down to pubic line and it hangs over my public line. Sorry for the TMI it's also hanging over my belly button and causing bad irritation and redness. I have a hard time at the bootcamps and I really think I overdo it because I finish it all but when I get in my car I feel dizzy and half out, I'm very stubborn and I have this issue with being very self-conscious and so I have to finish the class and not slow down too much, there's times I get blurry vision but I just keep going. Yes I know it's stupid of me so I am on a break from the bootcamp but I'm starting back in a couple of weeks. I still walk every day but it's this. "Front butt" and "beer gut" that's horrid!!! No I don't drink beer but just comparing lol -
how many calories should we be getting?
worm2872 replied to laurelle1980's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Salt it's a horrible thing. So's not pooing. I know tmi but both can cause me to gain two pounds overnight. -
Hey guys. I worked a full shift today and started out kind iffy. I walked over to the General store and got 2 bottles of 7up. As my shift was ending I could feel something start to move. Ok, I know. TMI-but my poor bathroom took the brunt of it, but I sure do feel a whole heck of a lot better. Whatever was in me is dead and gone now. Hubby and I went to Wal-Mart to get him a new shaver and by the time I got home I was feeling like I could eat something. Came home and warmed a can of soup. I had 2 bowls and crackers. Yup, I'm feeling good now.

A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?
waterlily1072 replied to Wheetsin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, I don't know if I'd call that woman mean, just totally crazy. Where do these nut jobs come from anyway? I thought they were supposed to be locked up in a mental hospital. I am so glad your hubby was there to straighten her out, I wouldn't know what to say either. Except maybe if he was so unhappy why am I getting lucky every night? LOL, sorry tmi. -
I was planning on going tonight but ever since last night I have had MASSIVE pains in my stomach. I feel really bloated and my belly looks huge (even though I am still losing and haven't gained weight-I weighed myself this am). It is getting me nervous. I may wait it out and if it is still bad tomorrow I may call the Dr.s office. I just took 2 gas x strips and took some tums. I am hoping that those will help. This may be TMI for some people but I have noticed that my bowel movement have been very different the past few days - aka not as much as I usually do. The gas pains are as painful/uncomfortable as when I first had surgery. A hot shower helped - I hope it goes away. :cursing: I'll have to wait until next month to go to the meetings.

How long before a BM? 9 days post op
kaciii replied to RellaBelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! Sleeves 3/30 I had my first one within 3 days of being home and my second today (since we're doing tmi lol;) ) and mine are actually normal. No diarrhea so I think it may be normal to be more on the constipated side especially if you've been faithful in taking your pain meds. I know I was . Low pain tolerance here . Maybe just give it time .. Unless you're hurting ? Then I would call your dr. Best of luck -
Feel like I can eat A LOT!
Jenngf5 replied to Veronica Page's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The mushy stuff goes down easier. As soon as you really start eating solids it will not be that way. I'm 1 month post op and still much of my diet is softer Proteins. I was craving carbs after the gym at work the other day and order a bagel w cream cheese. I ate maybe a third and that took me forever. I later just licked the cream cheese off. TMI but true. I hated to throw it out but it wasn't going in without be being sick. -
