I'm so glad you updated, Claire! You too, Zom. I can never remember exactly what your user name is so I'm calling you Zom. I'm glad everyone is doing so well. I'm relieved. I was more worried for you all than I realized. I am doing really well. I'm only consuming around 200-300 calories a day. I sip fluids continuously. I've struggled with not being able to eat dinner with my family. Not because I felt hungry but because I wanted the food. I have lost 8 pounds as of today. I feel like it could be more but I'm a little constipated. TMI but the truth.

Out With the Old--In With the New!
FluffyChix replied to FluffyChix's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks to each of you for warming my heart and making me feel your love and support!!! ((hugs)) Surgery went so smoothly. The hardest thing was the anesthesiologist trying to get a vein with the iv catheter. They stuck me like 13 times! NO kidding! But the nurse anesthetist was giving me laughing gas and anesthesia by then and we were talking and laughing and telling jokes while he was suffering trying to find a vein! Luckily the iv in my finger held until they took it out today! I am sipping/walking/having clear liquids today and tomorrow--then on to full liquids and protein drinks. I just weighed (at night) lol, and I'm up 5 lbs from anesthesia but that's fine. I will lose it. Also I appear to be full of sh*t! The surgeon said my colon had a ton of stool that I need to get cleaned out! Sorry for TMI! But apparently pooting and pooping are big things to them! I finally pooted tonight! HA! The real challenge is limiting myself to 4oz per hour! I'm able to drink very easily. I have very little pain and am controlling it now with tramadol and gabapentin. I'm doing so well! Walking, sipping, visiting, napping in my recliner and watching movies! Thank you to all for your prayers and support! I love each of you. I can't believe I finally had the surgery and it's over! I will tell you, that my desire/cravings for food right now are non-existent. And it really doesn't bother me to be on clear liquids. Also, the surgeon said it went so well. I had some adhesions that she removed and that my liver was pink and beautiful and that it was a very easy surgery! Yeeeehawwww! I'm on the losers' bench with ya now!!! ((hugs))- 657 replies

Post Op June 2014 Sleevers
LovetoDive replied to KimGettingSlim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
June 2nd - Going to my 1st post op appt today... NERVOUS. I see how much today. I fell like I lost more from the 4 days of Pops and Jello then surgery. I may never eat a pop or jello again. BLAH! Aygad - that is fantastic... I can't get that many calories! It REALLY messed up my progress for a while... and, TMI my colon! I'm trying to get in 2 shakes. myfitnesspal.com has given me so much info. -
I think I dumped! I ate a protein bar that had sugar alcohol in it. I've had other things with a little sugar alcohol before and it makes me nauseous. And I've had this particular protein bar before, but today it took me over the edge. As soon as I ate it, I felt so sick (nauseous) and then I started to just feel icky. I had to put my head down on my desk at work a few times. After about an hour, I decided to go home early and boy am I glad I did. As soon as I started to get up and get ready to leave, I realized I was going to have a bad potty experience. Mad it home thankfully, and ran to the bathroom for an explosion! Sorry TMI. I feel fine now, but wow, that was crazy! So was that truly dumping? I think it was, but not having it happen before, I don't truly know!

YIPEE (i know TMI) Second - I have lost 38.5lbs since 4/16 and 58.5 total since January 8, 2007. I hope to be holding the 40lb mark strong by the 16th - my 3 month badiversary.

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgendered Bandsters
kity replied to AshevilleEddie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Ok, ladies and gents...I love that I have finally found the right thread. I posted this on the shrinking violets thread (my April 07 group), and didn't get the responses I was looking for. I actually told my doctor this, he said it was the first he'd ever heard of this. About 3 weeks, post op, Susanne and I had some "hot and steamy". Each orgasm felt great of course, but weird in the port site. As we continued, I was almost dreading the orgasms. After about 7 or 8 orgasms, I was dying...I finally had to hold up the white flag. It hurt for about 2 days after that. The pain was dull, but constant. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone else talk about discomfort w/ orgasms. Thanks for sharing...now I know that I am ok. This is a great thread. Thanks for letting me share, and sorry if this is TMI. Peace out family! -
Buddies Group - Surgery Dec 4 to 15, 2017
DeletedAccount replied to Mary Stokley Gromer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Okay... TMI warning I know this has come up, but I'm two weeks out, and so far I've only had 2 BMs - both were very difficult and uncomfortable. It's now been several days, and... nothing. I've been taking Colace, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm still on liquids... is this normal or should I be concerned? Should I try throwing a couple prunes in the blender with my protein shake? I never had this problem pre-surgery, so I'm not sure what else to do. I'm staying active, walking, getting my water in, etc., but nothing seems to help. -
Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris
sanflan replied to susanlondon's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
What a difference a day makes!!!!:w00t: Went to Boots in the evening yesterday and bought Panadol Extra for the pain (The only one to claim to be sensitive on the stomach as well as be dissovable in water). They worked a treat for the normal stitch pain etc I can't even begin to tell you. Also they really did not cause me any tummy troubles and the pills Dr Chris gave me seemed to be working as a laxative.. (TMI sorry) I also got some Spearmint Rennies for the trapped wind. With in an hour of taking them both, I just had this feeling... Of nothing. FOr the first time in days. It was amazing I was able to drink down my cup a soup with out feeling swollen and like i was choking it down, and just felt good. No horrible pain nothing. I even managed to sleep through the night and only woke up once from being a little sore. A miracle I tell you. Hope anyone else having the same problems as me gives them a go. I am amazed any over the counter medicines can work that well, when I felt soo sick!!:thumbup: -
COCO: I had GERD and terrible reflux before surgery. None since. A couple days of reflux when the band was to tight but honestly the band totally cured my GERD and I had it really, really bad pre band. John you fit right in now I don't feel so bad about all my TMI posts. LOL. Did well today until I had ice cream with MIchaela. Ah geez gotta start over and I was having such a great day before that...............

Sparkykrause, I did experience that pain in the beginning, right below my belly button. I think it is the nerves that are cut as part of surgery that need to re-heal. I remember searching it on here and others had experienced it too. Only lasted a few days for me, so hopefully for you too. Janiestine, I'm sorry you are in so much pain, but I love your stay positive attitude! I'm so looking forward to your recipes!!! Claire, I'm glad you are stepping back a bit and focusing on the fluids. Sounds like that is what your body is preferring. When do you go for a post-op so you can talk to a NUT? Erin, don't be discouraged! 12lbs is fantastic. One thing you have to consider is that you are a lower BMI and you lose slower than those with a higher one. Yesterday was a weird one for me. I puked a little Water after drinking too much. I wasn't trying to, but a medicine got stuck and I needed more water to get down. It's like the excess water had no where to go so up it came. I then had some diarrhea too. sorry tmi. I'm getting more energy back in the day, but I still sleep a lot at night! kdidn and believieinnikki, hope you both are doing ok!

I'm almost 5 months post-op & for some reason this week after I drink my shake for breakfast it seems to be going right thru me (sorry if that's TMI). Has anybody used Imodium after surgery for diarrhea? I really hesitate to take a Pepto or Imodium, I just don't know if my little stomach can handle that after surgery. Has anybody?

Late June Sleeve Buddies?
ccflotron34 replied to Maggie143's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone! Well I haven't been feeling too good lately, I'm not sure why. I had my sleeve done on 6/27 and I have been doing great every since. Until Saturday I woke up and had a scrambled egg and some cottage cheese, a few hours later it was like all my gas pain in my shoulders came back. Later on I took my evening Vitamin and instantly felt like I was going to throw up. Ever since then I have felt like someone is sitting on my chest, if I take too big of a breath it hurts, I keep having little hiccups and it hurts. So being scared to throw up I had no food yesterday but one string cheese and only a few bites of Cheerios this morning. I'm trying so hard to get my Water intake in but I'm not, and I'm not getting hardly any Protein in. I'm not really sure what to do or if I did something wrong? But it is very uncomfortable. Also, TMI, maybe lol but I am not having normal bowel movements at all, so I don't know if that could play a part in it or not. Any advice? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
TracyinKS replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello vi's! Its 10p saturday night and I'm just now checking in...... after my morning check in yesterday my mom called me in tears because her foot was so bad she couldn't go to work (long story with feet problems) short story is that I ended up leaving work and running her from one doctor to another and by the time it was all said and done it was too late to go back to work.... Then it was pick up the boys.. today was a day of blissfull be at home ness......... but we ended up staining/waterproofing the deck and then cooking out on the grill.......... I am also not happy because I was up 213 this morning although my finger were really swollen from water retention... but I've been eating like crap and more of everything too... guess a Novemember fill in in my future. I know I need to get my head back in the carb watching game.. but I had almost an ENTIRE carton of Milk Nog today..... (oh teasing myself that it has 5g protein per serving) but I haven't even looked at the calories because the carb count is 37! For dinner I ate an entire burger (no bread) and some dorito's with ranch dip...... I've been eating halloween candy too...... I don't know what the hell is wrong with me... usually I don't start sabotaging myself until I GET UNDER 200lbs! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sorry for the rant, but I'm just pissed at myself right now. I need a new fridge! so Pam I am freaking IN LUST with your new one! Jennifur: I don't know what to say..... yeah most guys want one thing..... but then you meet one who isn't even that interested and you start wondering what the hell is wrong that they don't... (remember I went many many many months almost a year with out any) and this man loves me.... it has all changed since getting engaged and now married...(go figure) but he has a real hang up with any chance of getting pregnant so we still don't have REAL sex very often........ sorry TMI, but its that kind of night... god I hope someone doesn't google me and reads this......... oh what the hell! Kat: I'm thinking about you.. bunches. Judy: HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!! OK.. gnight! -
Well girls today was my official 1 year. Had an appt with Hoehn & I was down 10 pounds since my last visit. I was still able to get another small tweak to my band since it was my last freebie. Hope it doesn't turn out to be too tight. According to the docs office I was down to 183 or 71 pounds down from the start. Pretty pleased as that is with close on unlike my ticker weights. (I know TMI, but there you go). I also had something kind of "strange" happen this morning. We were getting some new desks installed at work and I could have swore one of the two installers did a little traveling up & down with his eyes when he first saw me walk in. If I didn't know better I would have thought he was checking be out. Hmmm... Well I'll post later. I'm beat. Need to know from all if everyone/anyone is still interested in meeting up Sat evening for dinner at the Blue Nile. Let me know.

Both Mucinex and Mucinex D (like PP said) are great for getting that gunk out of your chest. In fact, one man at the support group I went to last week said that he takes the Mucinex regularly as he gets lots of sinus drainage and that helps thin it out so in the mornings he doesn't hack up a huge loogie (sorry for TMI) that has built up in his pouch. The Mucinex makes it thin enough that it goes through the opening into the lower stomach. Plus, the surgeon actually told him to do this. Good luck with it! Colds suck no matter if you're banded or not. I hope you have a quick recovery.

Only4Me, Yes we are...I mentioned this many, many posts ago, but come New Year's 2008, we're all gonna be Hottie Jalotties!!! Mango, YES, YES, YES!!!! I was soooooo constipated on Friday. I was miserable. Took a stool softener. WARNING...TMI coming up...I think I now have a hemorrhoid. And now it is painful when I go. Very painful, like something is tearing (and I have a high tolerance for pain). I've always been very regular prior to banding. So, what I've done is added Raisin Nut Bran to my list of mushies. I let the cereal get mushy before I eat it, but I want to try to get my bran in by eating more fiber...before I try the Benefiber. Don't know if the cereal is okay, but I will not let myself get like I was last Friday. I'm so sorry you're feeling bad. Try drinking some prune juice. That should get things moving.

Oh Phyl, I feel for you babe. :eek: I know how much your legs bother you... You have got to get that P/S ...there has got to be another one who would take Medicare or Tricare, there just HAS to be... keep looking. But I know if it were MY husband he'd freek at the $10,000 too... You can use the surgery as a Medical deduction on your income taxes right? Maybe that would convince Earl. Get the KNEE surg done now, walking and mobility are the primary issue right?.. Then perhaps you can save the money for PS or have more time to work on Earl. Damn economy, if things hadn't gone in the Sh1tter last Sept. you'd probably been able to take that out of savings.:glare: Perhaps we should think of a fundraiser? WARNING: TMI to follow..... I've been MIA for a few days. I got a bad Stomach/flu bug from a Patient... I was up Thurs night ALL night. Trying to puke but nothing would come up. Band tight. It was a horrible feeling, I was constantly worried about slippage. I prefer to just have the diarhea ... Sorry, TMI ON the up side, I should be down in weight!!! HA,HA... nothing to eat for two days. :eek:

June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!
MissB_fit_2018 replied to gully90's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey Sleevers! So tomorrow marks 2 Months.... I'll share my stats below but i'm down 27 pounds.... most of that was lost at the beginning and I wish i could say I wasn't hoping for a little more loss but its also a hell of a lot more then it would be without my sleeve. So I will try and remember not to let it get me down and just continue pushing forward. I did start going to the Gym last week and it had not been easy but it has gotten better with each visit. The first time i thought i was gonna die from dehydration. So now I make sure I drink as much as i can before I go and that has helped. I feel sore as a hell but I take that as a good thing. I feel like all 27 pounds lost were from my butt so I figured the gym will help with that lol. The biggest problem I've had is food.... I never know what is gonna sit well. Today I had a salad and now I've felt sick all day! The stuff that seems to stick without issue is the bad stuff.... pizza, chipotle, mashed potatoes.... That right there is the reason I'm losing slow.... I want to eat the healthy stuff but it happens every time I eat and then I gotta run to the RR.... TMI i know but anyone else running into this? If so anyone had any luck with getting better. Stats: HW:202 SW:197 CW:175 GW:125-135 -
Me too!! BAM!! Instant erection. Or was that TMI, like the whole valtrex / genital wart fiasco? Yeah! What tap said! I suspect she's off somewhere being awesome....probaly in cahoots with LosingJustMe... Woah! That's quite a career! And PJTP, I recently friended Lulu on facebook. Turns out she's pretty cute for a New York liberal transplant to Texas (I strangely didn't see any warts, so I had to remove mine as well). I'd have never thunk it. Don't tell her though......that would ruin my redneck rep.

Becky The way it sounds, you don't need a fill... As we all know those treats go down with no problem - it's the hard Proteins that are harder to eat.. If you had a fill I don't think you could eat at all - and remember this band is in for life and you have to be able to eat normal.. I really really don't think you are going to need a fill. I rarely every turn my heater on -but this morning I just couldn't get warm = heck right now my hands are cold - I have on pj's fleece bottoms thermal top and 2 pairs of socks - I have the fireplace going too - but it's in the other room.. I didn't do much today - went to Stein Mart looked around tried on a chasmere sweater and capris and left with nothing -= I really don't need to be spending $$$ I got bills due on the 1st - I am going to wait - til the spring stuff comes out and then will do a little shopping - plus I really really hate looking thru racks and racks of clothes for my size -- i swear to the devil - I didn't know that you could buy so many 16 - 14 in the regular stores - but now that I am a 4 I can never find my size... Tons of 16's 14's 10's 12' 8' - but 6 or 4 hardly any - and tons of brown - I am not a brown person have a couple of things but not many. After that stopped at the grocery store and came home - got a pot of collard greens on the stove - good and healthy and great for the tmi issues .. Well am cold - going to living room and try and warm up... will ck back in a few I
