vsg_queen24 replied to SlimJill's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Hi All, I've been MIA for a little bit and just read how everyone is doing. Wow, looks like everyone is doing fantastic! I have cheated a little bit here and there, but I am amazed at the restraint I have...and that full feeling! Finally, I am able to stop! @@Veronica Page...you made me smile writing about KFC! I am supposed to have that next week for a birthday party! I am not too sure how to resist "the good part" of the chicken. Maybe I will allow myself one bite of it and then take the skin off. Hahaha. I finally took a good look at myself in the mirror yesterday...and I was not disgusted! Progress! I am amazed at the transformation and am feeling better inside and out. My old clothes from a little over a year ago are fitting again. (I gained 60 lbs last year!). I look forward to the day I can wear this one pair of jeans again...and then say, they are too big! The only negative things I am experiencing is not tolerating red meat (ground beef) very well, my hair is falling out a bit (thankfully have thick hair) and my "monthly visitor" being on overdrive. I was told that was normal and my body was adjusting. A little TMI, but I wanted to make sure that others knew it can happen. I wish everyone continued success on this incredible journey we are all on!

I would call your doctor since 3 weeks is getting pretty long. But I was close to that long without a BM right after surgery. I was never an every day kinda girl. Between having Clear liquids for a week and then full liquids for a week there really wasn't much solid to pass as a BM. I was just at the point of drinking a laxative tea- Smooth Moves I think, when I had one. There still wasn't much there and it was not an issue. (Trying to not get too TMI on everybody) Therefore, if your doctor is one that has you on clear liquids and then full liquids longer than other surgeons it may not be that bad. I think it can also depend on what was normal for you prior to surgery. I still am not an every day person more like every other or every 3 days. I would be more worried for somebody like my husband who is at least once if not twice a day. At this point I would be either looking through the literature your surgeon gave you to see if they addressed it there or call their office to see what you can take.

Sherrischeffler replied to rivergirl14's topic in The Gals' Room
Shave & keep minimal crotch hair & i use powder alaways, Vagisil makes a excellent powder,i also go commando because panties hold odors..some may find yhis TMI but its true. -
Hello. I was sleeved on April 29th and have been healing very well. However, today I have had extreme diarrhea. I know this is TMI.... But it's almost so bad that I think it's gas but then it's not. I have been on pure liquids since surgery. Anyone had anything go in like this? I'm worried I may get dehydrated.

New Tummy...and much to do about nothing?
MissLiss replied to MissLiss's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@elladvyne it took me at least 5 days until I sorted out all the goings on and recognized the feeling of hunger and sated it with Jello. For me, hunger could certainly be in there but as its own entity I didn't find it quite so fierce. This may be a little TMI but my rumblings and gas finally found an exit out the back...once that happened it took another day or two to some normalcy as I know it. I also discovered that 'dumping' can happen in the clear liquid stage. I was guilty of sipping this super yummy broth I made too quickly and I think that was a part of it too. I'm on pureed food now and I understand a little better about how long to take to eat something and feeling full. This is an interesting journey to be sure. -
Does anyone know the appropriate length fr GB when you can have intercourse? They said, driving light activity and so on was ok... So??

You know you lost weight when

TMI.... When you suddenly have a baggy bra!! I can't believe it. But it is true! The sides gap outward! Hallelujah! -
Anyone suffering from IBS have the sleeve? I have either constipation gas and bloating or diarrhea ALL the time due to sensitive and irritable bowels. TMI I know sorry, but I wanted to see if anyone with the sleeve has the same and how their IBS is after the sleeve?

Curious to hear people's stories of gastric bypass....
MichelleTN replied to RebeccaAR's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Had surgery on Tuesday. I was nervous but everything went fine. The worst part was the gas. I was never so happy to fart in my life. TMI I know. :-) that was the only time I hit the pain pump was with the gas pains. Finally the next day I walked the halls about 5 times vs the two after surgery and got that stuff to moving out. Went home around 5 that day & slept all night. Felt 100% better when I woke up. Today was my full liquid day which includes cream soup, tasted so good. However I'm so scared to overeat right now. All in all I've had a good recovery so far. -
April 22nd is the Big Reset!
KalelsWifey replied to AshBanks's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Let's give each other the boost and motivation we need to get thru this. Ive gotten in some broth, tea and water finally. Sorry for tmi but everything is going thru. Since leaving hospital im down 6 lbs. I just wish I felt better, then I could enjoy the 6lb loss. Sending you hugs. -
So I know this might be tmi but has anyone have blood clots when they go to the bathroom? I am 2 weeks post op!

4 months out and weight gain
AvaFern replied to holliwood1980's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So, TMI question, but is it your time of the month? That can often lead to not only additional Fluid, but also fluid retention. Also I find that if I eat Soup, popcorn, or something extra salty, it has a lot of sodium which inevitably causes me to gain at least a pound or two the day after. Also, if I do a heavy lifting session, my muscles are swollen and I gain weight the next day purely from Water, as opposed to having actually gained any muscle weight. This is why I weigh myself every single day because I know exactly where my weight should be and if for some reason I gain, I can immediately start on the path to fixing it. I also can look back (I have written my weight down everyday) and I can see that, ok I gained 3 pounds one day, but it was gone a few days later, or ooh that was a long stall but not nearly as long as I thought. Don't freak out over a weight gain if it only lasts a day or two- sometimes our bodies inexplicably retain water and naturally process it out. -
Hi Ladies! I am officially 4 days post-op. My surgery was Monday and they literally had me walking after I woke up from the surgery. I didn't have any gas pain, maybe due to all the walking they had me do. I have had a very sharp pain, feels like runners cramp in my left side which I am told is normal and even that has gotten better every day. My only other issue is constipation.... I know tmi, but drinking lots of milk of mag in hopes of some relief. Feeling great surprisingly, slowly but surely on the mend! We got this!!!! On our way to being healthy and sexy!!!! Jill

Surgery was Monday, 2 days post-op and feeling great!! Passing a lot of gas (sorry TMI) but that is making me feel better and better!! Going home today after lunchtime!!

Stool softener day before?
meyouus replied to meyouus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know what you mean. I had two total knee replacements and the constipation was like concrete. Then they give you milk of magnesia, and you explode for 2 days! Probably TMI, sorry. I just want to avoid that if I can. -
UGH. At any temperature. Plain Water absolutely sends my stomach into a knot and is so uncomfortable. I don't get it. Protein is fine, Crystal Light is Fine, Tea is Fine. Water? I am not fine. I'm making myself continue to drink it because (forgive me for this, TMI) my urine is terribly dark and I'm having a hard time using the bathroom on my own. I know part of that is because I'm not getting enough water in. Is this anything anybody else has experienced and did it ever go away? I LOVE water. Everybody knows my desk at work because it's always got a water jug and empty water gallon jugs around. I'm the Hydration Station. Now me and water just simply don't get along :-\

OMG.... I have the worse gas. It varies based on what I eat, but I could clear a room if I wanted. I get horrible gas pains if I hold it in (sorry TMI) and I'm at work and I cannot walk away fast enough some days. I find that it's more on days that I add spinach to my smoothies or higher fatty foods like avocados. Beans, too I guess. It's just become a part of my life now. I get it when I walk or excercise. It's embarrassing and I wish it wouldn't happen. My poor son hates to run errands with me,... I'll just start walking away really fast go down a different aisle.

218 today totally in the wrong direction but I got a visit from Aunt Flo this weekend so I'm assuming I'm holding water????? Sorry if it's tmi
-
Thanks for the advice everyone! I can't believe how much better I feel at 2 days post op. Managing clear broth and camomile tea in little sips. Feeling very bubbly though (sorry tmi) my throat is constantly making gurgling noise. Is this the gas still?

I am 1 month out tomorrow. For the last few days I have been feeling weak, lethargic, even a little shaky. I'm not sure what's going on. Not to be TMI but I might be getting my cycle. I have PCOS so it's not predictable. My Nut put me on dense food this week with a calorie goal of up to 800-900. I'm not there yet, but I am getting my protein in. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

TMI - Forgive me...Bowel Movement
RammerJammer posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was on Monday. Since then I've had two bowel movements on Tuesday due to medicine from my surgeon but nothing sense. I have been adding MiraLAX to almost everything the past two days but no luck. No gas, no movement, nothing. Is this normal or how long should I let this go? Thanks. -
dumping syndrome with a lap band
Debbie3sons replied to heidi05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Interesting , I knew about some of the wls had dumping syndrome , never knew or have heard about the band having it , however there are some foods that I know if I eat them , It only takes like a 1/2_hour before I'm in the restroom , yes I know TMI but if it helps someone to understand then I'm all for it , THANK YOU like I said very interesting , I will have to ask my Surgeon if he ever heard of it with the band . -
@@Chrystee Don't get discouraged! My weight stalled for about the same amount of time. I was also eating around 500 cal, and following the plan! I guess my body had to stabilize or get out of starvation mode. I don't know, but adding denser food ( as I was told to do) added more calories. I am now at about 800 calories and my weight started dropping again! I have lost 3lbs just since Monday yay! Have faith in the process & your nutritionist. Your weight will start going down again. Adding a little coffee back has helped as well! My surgeon gave me the approval & not to be TMI but it got things moving again thank God lol!
