Ok so I am on day three.. I am allowed full liquids today. For brkfast I had 1/3 cup of protein shake. Then around noon I ate liquidifed homemade veggie soup. At four I had 1/3 cup of oatmeal really runny. After each meal I was stunned to know that I was full. I had a tightness in my chest and I was done. It was so exciteing. That was the first real conformation that I had a BAND!!! hehe I am so sick of being sore. The doctors telling me that he has had pat. go back to work two days after surgery is BS. I am so sore and I can't bend over for anything. I get this hot burning sensation on my left side but its not where the insision is. I guess that is where the port is attached.. I have been tootin up a storm.. Man I keep wondering where all this gas has come from, every five mins I let one rip!!! TMI oh well my journal!! I know I have a few more days of rest but man I am so sick of not getting to excersise. My dd has been doing hers and she wants me to do them with her so bad but I just can't.. I tried to do leg lifts with her and you don't relize how much you use your stomach muscles to lift your legs... My dh sais he is so nervous now because he saw me at the hospital in pain. I told him it would be fine, but hes never had any surgery so he is terrified.. I have meet some awsome people on this site and have made some great friends. Kmo and Lmo are a trip. The three of us have all been banded at the end of july. I think we are going to plan a trip in exactly one year... That would be so fun.... My kids are starving so I guess I need to go feed them....

Gastric Sleeve Surgery is it painful?
Elidh replied to Nikki50's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my surgery day before yesterday. I expressed my concern to the surgeon that I cannot tolerate narcotics, opioids, etc., and even the most potent anti-nausea drugs do not touch the awful unrelenting vomiting I have with them (sorry, TMI). So he administered a TAP block when I went under anesthesia. Post-op, I had IV ibuprofen, toradol, and oral liquid Tylenol. Absolutely no pain whatsoever in the hospital. I had minimal discomfort last night at home, but no worse than if I had done a bunch of sit-ups. I was quite pleased 😊 -
PBing or Vomitting after sleeve?
feedyoureye replied to Deedle Dee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
TMI coming your way! Lucky for me when I slime (so far) I don't puke, I just cant swallow anything else, and my mouth fills up with thicker than saliva "slime" that I spit out. After a few spits, usually the sensation goes away... but can't eat anything for a while... The last time this happened, I only had one spoon of cream of broccoli soup... and started sliming... so it didn't take much or even eating fast... the soup did taste horrible....what the sleeve wants to do, the sleeve does.... -
OK, not one of the things I am really wanting to admit but is this normal???? Since a few days after surgury I have noticed all of my body odors are stronger.( four weeks out now) I shower at least twice a day now and deoderant fails within an hour or two tops. I just smell. This is all new for me. I have never had trouble with BO but OK this is about to be TMI..but...ALL of my bodily fluids, bodily odors, hair, everything is just different and not very pleasent. I am brushing my teeth several times a day as well.....ewwww very embarrassing. I thought maybe the liquid Vitamins were doing it so I stopped them for threee days, no change. I am getting plenty of Water, about 68-80 oz a day. I shouldn't be in ketosis because many of my mushies are carbs. Could it be from the protien drinks ( I drink 2 EAS Advantage edge carb controls a day) I will be on solids very soon so I can then give these up if they are the reason. Did anyone else else go through this? Will it go away??? Embarrassed and in need of advice!!!! thanks

I'm 3 days post-op and have a couple of questions. 1. What's with this frothy foamy stuff coming up from my stomach? Does it mean I'm drinking too much, not enough, or just something that happens? 2. How long did you guys wait before taking a laxative? I don't feel like I'm constipated and have been passing gas. (TMI, sorry) But I'm afraid to let it go too long and also afraid to put a laxative into my poor abused GI tract right now. And advice? Thanks!

Travel so soon after surgery?
DropWt4Life replied to Kristi Jacobs's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I traveled by plane from San Diego to San Antonio, TX. 3 days after surgery. My doctor okay-ed it, and I was fine. All of my surgery buddies did the same. There are tons of people that travel abroad for medical tourism every year. While there is always a risk of developing blood clots or deep vein thrombosis, the risk can be lowered by staying hydrated and moving about. Easier said than done while you are on a plane. I kept drinking fluids, which caused me to go to the bathroom twice during my 2 1/2 hour flight. TMI, I know. Anyway, it was a risk that I was willing to take since many doctors recommend not traveling for up to 4 weeks after surgery, especially if the surgery is below the waist. I wasn't about to take an extended vacay in Mexico, although my trip was a lot of fun. -
I just had my second dietician appointment. I have like 2 more and then whatever else I need done. I'm a bit excited about surgery but I want to know from where all do you lose weight and inches? I know it's a stupid question but does your ring size get smaller? What about your shoe size? And where does it all go? Is it like the alli pill where you (sorry tmi) crap it all out or is it different?

LOL AS TMI as this was.... I laughed! I was at WalGreens once and someone stunk up the WHOLE back area by the bathrooms.... It was so bad people were gaging when they walked by!

Hello fellow Bypassers. This evening before my VFW Auxiliary Meeting I went to our local Rutter's Convenience Store and got the sugar free French vanilla cappachino. Figured it would be a win win for me since I am now on puréed and at that point I was hungry. I dumped for the first time today and it sucked! Hot flashes, red face, emergency running to bathroom diarrhea (sorry tmi!) and I even vomited! Did anyone else experience this with sugar free products before?

Had a strange episode before bed last night. Took all my meds as I have been since coming home from surgery on 8/17. I got up from my recliner to use the restroom and attempt to sleep in my bed for the first time since surgery. Felt suddenly sick. Light headed. Dizzy. Tmi..but went to the bathroom with bowel issues. Felt like I was going to pass out right there. Got up to go to bed and could barely push the bathroom door open and passed out over my side table. Hubby was freaking out. Asking if I ate too much. I had eaten 3 oz of my first full liquid meal. I finally laid on the bed and my BP was 99/62 dropped to 88/55 and started there. I didn't move and drifted off to sleep. Woke up at 2p this morning to BP more normal at 110/79. Was a crazy, scary experience. Anyone else experience such? Going to talk to my doc about adjusting meds already.

Well technically I do not have a black eye but it is more of way of saying I keep beating myself up. If you have read my blogs/post before, you know I have to maintain or gain (maybe 5lbs) to make BMI for insurance approval. My weight fluctuates on a daily basis, which is disheartening. Last night the insurance coordinator asked me my weight again and I felt so bad when she said you need to make BMI. I know ..Why is it that my whole life I have gained, gained, gained and now when I need to gain – it is so hard? I actually feel guilty about eating like there is no tomorrow. Ugh. Who would have thought gaining weight on purpose would suck so much? The dark truth: I ate alone in a Wal-Greens parking lot last night. As I slurped up my noodles in fettuccini sauce, I felt this deep sense of embarrassment. I looked around for parking lot cameras. I hid every bite from cars that parked beside me in fear they would see this fat girl eating alone in her car. Here I am stuffing my face in private because I didn’t have time to go home and eat dinner before my seminar. I really felt like a loser… a lonely, fat loser. I could have gotten a child size meal and been full, but I had to get a full size meal with extra sauce. This is how I got here in the first place. This is a series of bad choices, bad eating habits and even worse eater’s remorse which ultimately leads to more pigging out. Food was my friend and is now quickly becoming my enemy. I am starting to resent food. This might be great for when I finally get my surgery – but what if – oh that darn what if – what if I don’t get approved? I will have gained this weight for nothing? I so want to just drink one of my protein shakes and be done with lunch. Yet here I sit knowing if I drink it I will be full, eat nothing else and end up in the restroom losing 5 lbs LOL. Ok TMI .. sorry. To make things worse, I look in the mirror and absolutely hate this new heavier me. Not that I am that much heavier than I was last week, but 5lbs really weighs on you. I feel like a monster. My clothes look ill-fitted, I see rolls I didn’t notice before and I just feel like poo. I suppose I should just suck it up and wait out the month to see if I am approved. I am not trying to gain anymore weight after today. I will rely on my current weight and clothing to make BMI. We shall see. I just can’t force down anymore crap food and expect to feel “good”. I hate this feeling – like dragging @ss… not cool. Ok two black eyes… I know.

You do feel like that? It's been a week and two days...and I just have like a lingering heavy feeling in my belly....went to the regular dr yesterday, not my band dr, he said it must be my band, cuz everything else seems fine? Who knows, but it hurts, so called where I got my band, and will probably end up going there this evening. Thanks for sharing, I'm ok w/ TMI, because it helps to know someone has the same thing as me! :eek:

1 Week Post Op Troubles, Any Others?
Janet53 replied to Janet53's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks so much for the replies! Mentally I feel a lot better than yesterday. I think I am doing ok on fluids since (sorry if this is tmi) my urine is always either clear or very light in color. I am just taking it very slow. I am going to try some cream of chicken soup for dinner and see if I can get a few spoonfuls of that in. Thanks again! -
Tomorrow I will be 2 weeks out from surgery. I am doing great and have gone from 227 to 205 in 13 days! Since I have had this surgery, I don't have a BM often. The last two times I did, I had horrible cramps and what appeared to be diarrhea. Several trips to the bathroom today. Several trips last Tuesday. This is making me miserable. Is this the "norm?" I didn't sign on for this part of the surgery LOL

Just have to say that everyone here is great. No matter what you choose to do or not to do, no matter what your story is or what your struggles are, nothing is TMI here. Every one here is great. No one judges anyone. I'm so glad I stumbled across this. everyone offers their support and recommendations.

I joined the YMCA. I'm not a "class" type of person. I like to go in, do my work out and leave. I am the whitest white girl you've ever met - meaning I cannot dance, so I don't do Zumba or any of the classes. I normally walk a mile around the track, then I do 10 sets of 10 on most of the machines. I'm trying to concentrate on my abs, thighs and "bingo arm". Then I do 15-20 minutes on the stationary bike, then another mile or so on the track, then I treat myself to weighing in in the locker room before I go home. They have all kinds of classes, but again - I'm just not into any of it. I can feel a HUGE difference in my body. This might be a little TMI, but my husband says that my body/sex has really changed since I started working out. That thigh master is amazing!

Sorry TMI, but would like to know if anyone has had this issue. During my labs I had to bring in a stool sample. It tested positive for H pylori. Doctors office says it’s a bacteria that is common and that many have it with no symptoms. Have to take antibiotics for 14 days. I have my doctors visit in 3 weeks and then surgery will be scheduled.

just started my Viactiv chews... Chewed the whole thing at once thinking no biggie...learned the hard way (TMI warning!!) when I ended up in the bathroom for awhile afterwards. ARGH. Just an FYI

?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'm four weeks out on Monday. This week, my lower belly has been acting up. Sometimes it just feels sore, and sometimes I have sharp pains. My bladder is hurting as well - I'm on antibiotics for a UTI but they haven't kicked it yet. I'm probably just being paranoid, but I only lost 0.8 this week. 30.4 total. Total loss is great I know, but why the stall? Anyone else have lower pains? It's NOT when I eat. food goes down fine and I go to the bathroom everyday. Sometimes Twice a day bit the amt is small sometimes (TMI). I'm hoping its just gas and surgery pains, but I'm a little worried because I'm almost a month out. Shouldn't all that be gone by now? I'm just anxious due to the stall on week 3, and I was in the hospital 6 days due to infected hematomas. I've had the worst luck and am just afraid I have a crazy blockage or something. Someone talk me off the ledge or send me to the ER.

Messed up already?
Guest replied to AshleyinOnederland's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, maybe TMI keep this for your baby steps to yogurt etc.....some great recipes that are easy for pureed and liquids steps .....Vanilla Custards are so good, and don't have any of those funky chemicals at store....http://www.bariatriceating.com/2013/04/post-op-help-full-liquids-your-first-baby-steps-with-food/ -
My doctor had me start 2000mg a day in November along with Atenolol to help with my migraines and because my blood pressure was slightly high (I was 258 at that appt). In December i went back and i was put on blood pressure medicine and upped the fish oil to 3000mg a day. I went back in January and i weighed 268 and i had done nothing different than i had the past 6 months i maintained my weight!!. Now through all this i had been working out a few days a week and i dont eat bad (just horrible with portion sizes). Last week i weighed myself in at 275 and i started to cry. I looked up online thinking it was my medicine that i was on that i was gaining weight like crazy as it was the only new thing in my life. I stopped taking the fish oil about the same time as all the pills were binding me up (sorry TMI) and i weighed in this morning at 269....so maybe it WAS the fish oil pills as i am still taking the other medicines. Needless to say im not taking them anymore...and im going to bring this up to my doctor at my appt in a few weeks... I havent been banded yet but i dont see how a banded person can swallow these pills they are huge!! Have you been banded and if so do you have a problem with them?

3 months post op - little weight loss and digestion issues -help!
JessM321 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi everyone. I was sleeved on March 2nd and at this point in time I am very disheartened in my journey. I have only lost 30 lbs thus far and feel I've fought very hard for even that which includes a lot of working out. I eat right and have been following the guidelines yet I am barely losing. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Most stories I see show significantly more weight loss within this timeline compared to me. Additionally and this is tmi (sorry in advance) but at this point I have to ask - this far down the road does anyone else still experience extreme diarrhea? About 90% of the food I eat cases this to the point I'm afraid to eat with friends or go out if eating is involved. I never know what food will affect me, most cases a food that I previously ate and was fine with, may cause diarrhea a couple days later if I eat that food again. I can't find a common link that causes it. When I spoke with my doctor Activia and time was the only thing recommended but I'm almost 3 months out and still having this issue. Does anyone else experience this? Is so, is there anything you've tried that seems to help? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Just super excited to share that my insurance is covering my breast reduction and lift surgery!! I just got the news last night!! So freaking happy! The thing I think is hilarious is that they didn't cover WLS but they don't have a problem covering reconstruction of my TaTas. The hubs even said that since I am going to be under and it would be cheaper in the long run we can throw a tummy tuck in at the same time! Now I just have to get rid of these ulcers and be smoke free for 6 weeks prior to surgery! I CAN do this!

I'm pretty sure that I passed a stone about 5 weeks postop although I never sought help. My back hurt for three days and it hurt to go to the bathroom. TMI alert: after about 7 hours of overnight agony, I wiped and there was blood ... I assumed I was starting my period (ugh) but immediately all my pain was gone.... Definitely call....I didn't and now I feel like I have undocumented issues. I
