Pic attached! OK I wish......... One of the side effects of dieting and/or weight loss surgery is being constipated. Taking Benefiber or Metamucil helps you be regular. I was constipated on the 1200 calorie plan and now again on stage IV. Since Sleeved I will never be able to have heavy large meals and will more than likely have to take a fiber supplement for the rest of my life. More TMI but now I find myself only going to the bathroom (#2) about once a week. I try to weigh myself after that event to ensure some accuracy... The Richmond program recommends and regularly talks about Benefiber but I spoke to Doc Who and he said the Benefiber recommendation / requirement is only for RNY patients and that Band and Sleeve patients can take either.

Girl you are not whiny you just had major surgery!! I will tell you I had it right under my left rips and I felt like I was a ballon about to pop for almost two weeks. It hurt so bad I was almost in tears at times............gasx and vicodan only dulled the pain but it hurt 24/7 for awhile. I think your shoulders must be gas too............. I hated to walk because it hurt so bad but when I walked I would belch and fart away (TMI I KNOW, I KNOW) and it would be instant relief!! But I seriosly paced my backyard for about 15 minutes at a time than had to sit down because it hurt so bad!! It took alot of walking to work it all out.....another think I did was pull my knees to my chest and just hold it like that for awhile to push the air out that worked too but so glad no one else was home at the time........LOL. All of a sudden I woke up one day and it was totally gone. I know for the first two weeks every time I eat the gas got worse.........and seriously though it was gonna push up through my chest it hurt so badly..............somehow I survived it one day, one hour at time. But OMG it hurt........... Walk and Gasx my friend!! And contort your body into strange positions to push it out!! I won't tell!! LOL

I'm 5 days post-op to and I've been running a fever off and on since I got home. The gas has really been painful and I finally had my first bowel yesterday (TMI i know but it's true) so I was real relieved and yesterday was the first day i was able to keep anything down. I kinda wish i had the diarrhea because that would at least clean me out, all my gas has come up nothing coming out the back.

I know TMI but darn Aunt Flo is visiting and all I am craving is everything salt related! I broke down and had salty food last night. One happy thing is that I am back at it with logging now just to get that motivation a moving to get back into exercising!

I had the same problem this month too only difference is I wanted chocolate. I gave into the craving and now I am done. Sometimes you just need to indulge and be satisfied! Like @Dragonsmate said, don't beat yourself up. This too shall pass.

TMI, but I think all the protein shakes are making my farts smell like a dead raccoon in a heatwave.

Has anyone had problem (Gas) with the Babybel Cheese you eat? I have switched from the red package to the green and now the blue and the blue is making me boo-hoo~~ (smelly, tmi

Got sick last night off of Rotisseri Chicken from the local grocers. I thought it would be safe but it didn't sit well with me. I have learned the technique of 'finger down throat - tickle-tickle- there she blows' to save the day! TMI...
-
Girl I use that trick a lot lately!!! Although it's gotten to the point where I can just move my throat around a little to just get it out now??? I am a pro!!! lol such a bad thing to admit, but I know one thing I can not eat and won't eat ever again, Ice Cream, and that trick does not work for that!!!
-
-
Yes I know what you mean about denying yourself, but now I know that ice cream doesn't agree with me AT ALL, I won't ever eat it again, I was just craving something very cold and creamy, and I loved ice cream before the surgery, and found out that I can't eat it now, well it's kind of a blessing in disguise? The finger trick doesn't work with ice cream though dear?

-
Gratitude List Addition: Okay, this one may be TMI but it really is significant. Today I could comfortably use a regular bathroom stall (and not a handicap stall).
-
Here's my TMI status for the day: Why does my body wait until I get to work (well after weighing in) to poop now? *sigh*
-

-
yes! you can definately add me as a friend!
I am having a very hard time with the exercise piece too. i have just been walking. I started by walking up my street, because it is a rather steep hill, and then I walked around the block, and then I walked a little farther. I actually walked a mile the other day, but then I pulled a muscle lifting a box and havent walked since.
I am actually kinda worried right now, because I have a rash on my side where my skin folds over itself, (sprry if thats TMI) and im worried if its not better that they wont do the surgery.
I will let you know how I am after surgery. I am very nervous, but also looking forward to it, or at least looking forward to getting it overwith.

It's now lunch time and I'm feeling hunger, but it's the first time during the day that that has happened. So it shall be another 1/2 cup of refried beans and salsa for me (I'm a little obsessed with the fiber these days so I"m having refried beans every day...maybe TMI but no constipation here.) Another funny thing is that pre sugery I kind of like the protein shakes, I have the powder and make my own various ways. But post surgery they smell different and I'm totally turned off but them! So that is the only thing I'm struggeling with. Not too bad. AS far as weight loss post op.. I gained like 7 lbs from the surgery (IV fluids and stuff) but as of today I've lost that and only 3 additional. I noticed in the months leading up to this that my body only responds when I have al least 1000-1200 calories and moving my butt.

I am completely unfilled now, but i am still swollen so will take a little over a week to get back to normal. I used to throw up many times a day, acid reflux super bad all of that! I had my gallbladder pulled 9/14 and things were better for awhile, only had 22 cc's in a 10 cc band and had to have a complete unfill. Doctor says I am doing something wrong so going to unfill start my eating all over and see if I can just do it on my own. I am only 10 pounds away from goal. But my main problem is fiber and you know what happens with not enough fiber not to give tmi. So you gave me some good info! And I really appreciate it. I will be checking your progress and you look amazing!!!!

Omg i am so livid right now i got a call from Angelina the patient coordinator today at 3pm to tell me that my labs are incomplete. Ironically i need a pregnancy test that was not done. Coincidence im on my period and my hubby has had a vasectomy i know TMI. So I rushed on over to Labcorp to have that done and they are going to fax over the results today since theyre doing it stat.I still cant help to fell really upset about this. I even called them earlier this week to make sure everything was ok and didnt hear back from them. Hope they get these results on time.

Need some solutions for gout flare up...
iamsoworthit replied to Wayne Hunt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wayne, I suffer from gout too. I am almost a year out and have had several bad episodes. I take Allopurinol twice a day but still get flairs. I am not allowed to take Indocin but I am able to take colchicine (even tho it gives me diarrhea- tmi). Ask your dr about colchicine because it isn't an NSAID and shouldn't be on your restriction list. I would suggest not taking it on an empty stomach tho. My dr is a Mayo Clinic physician and they are extremely conservative. Also, make sure you are drinking your water! I have been able to figure out ny pattern on gout. It is almost always a direct result of too many days of just barely getting 64 ounces or stress. Try and get 80 or 90 ounces of Water because it does help. Finally, I did have one really bad attack right before my mom passed away (I was under a ton of stress). It was in both feet even up in my ankles. The colchicine didn't touch it and I had no relief for 5 days. My dr prescribed steroids and it went away a day later. That is an option in extreme cases. I was taking leftover pain medication and it didn't even touch the pain. Sorry you are dealing with gout. It is by far the worst pain I have ever experienced. PM me if you need any more ideas. -
I get a similar sensation, but in my case (TMI) it's because I have very active sinuses, and their "product" can collect at the base of my throat and collect, almost like a ball that I can feel, esp. when I swallow. Any chance you're draining? Have allergies that could cause this? It's getting to be that time of year again.

You poor dear. I hope you get this cleared up soon. My band doc had me taking liquid antibiotics too. But after 3 days all I had was "the runs" (TMI) SO, his office nurse said they obviously were not doing me any good and to stop taking them. I luckily did not have any fever or infections. I do hope you get balanced out and feeling better! Terry:)

Sleeved on Wednesday! Normal pains?
DJ's Mom replied to jjsasha's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on Tuesday and just experienced this last night. I just got up and felt so much pain and bloating. TMI but I went to the bathroom and attempted to pass gas, I actually had my first bowel movements since pre op. I no longer feel bloated and majority of the pain is gone after being able to pass gas several times. Good luck to you. -
Dammit, I psyched myself up, starved myself on liquids, took a laxative(sorry TMI), got up at the crack of dawn, dragged my 78 yr old grandma and mother with me, made it to the hospital, checked in all to be told my surgery had beeen CANCELED:eek::tt1::cursing:!!!!!!!! My doctors patient coordinator calls me on my cell to say " Im sorry Ms M but Dr Jacob's wife had the BABY YESTERDAY! 2 weeks early !" I love babies and they are a blessing but DAMMIT:mad: why didnt someone call me last night or the crack of dawn today!?? My doctor has my email address, cell and home phone numbers but no call until 9:32am this morning(surgery was at 10am). I mean I totally understand things happen but when his wife went into labor why didnt he leave a message for his people to call his patients?? I am so pissed! So what did I do?? I went to a dinner with my family and ate like a starved pig!:wub: Now I feel terrible for eating like I did.:wub: BTW new date FEB 20
