What a great thread! Been married for over twenty years, but it's so nice to hear these body-positive stories. My TMI NSV is to be on top without crushing the poor man.

I am going TMI here but even with the weight I have lost my husband's favorite thing because we are both heavy is that our stomachs don't get in the way any more. Sometimes what we fixate on isn't what our partners are thinking about. Sex was getting challenging physically and now it's so much easier and better.

I totally agree with @Goodlife1206. Don't wait until you get blocked up. I hadn't had a BM in over a week a few days ago, and I was absolutely MISERABLE! I felt so bad that I just wanted to cry. ***TMI ALERT*** Mine was so bad that I had the urge to go but every time I went to the bathroom nothing would come out, but when I wiped myself, I could feel the largest and hardest lump right underneath my skin. It finally got to the point where I went to CVS and bought a Fleet Enema. I hate those things, but I just couldn't take the back up any longer. Start now with some Smooth Move Tea, Miralax, or some other stool softener. Please, please, please don't wait until you get as miserable as I was.

TMI alert - I am 3 months postop. Earlier on I had real constipation issues like many surgery patients. It got pretty bad and I had to take milk of magnesia (full dose x 2), and Ducolax to get things going. I almost waited too long. Don't let this go. I am straightened out now and go every few days. Even if you aren't eating much your body still has some waste. I take Miralax every morning in my breakfast shake. Miralax keeps thing going better than breaking up a blockage. Hope this info helps. Good luck and talk to your dr.

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. -
What's everyone eating one month out ?
suesleeved replied to hootney1214's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was 4 weeks yesterday and am on puree until week 5.. but tried some rotisserie chicken, refried Beans, avocado, chicken noodle Soup and a tiny bit of mashed potatoes. Did ok, but chicken made me constipated (TMI sorry) I still drink 3 Protein drinks and add some powder to non fat Greek yogurt .forgot that. Oh and a few homemade smoothies. I'm looking forward to eating cheese sticks again and fish and more chicken. It's crazy to dream about chicken lol going to try an egg soon! -
Dumping comes from the other end! And for those of you experiencing the horrible constipation I def recommend getting your fiber in every day. I was not going to share but two weeks ago I had to go to the ER because I could not pass my BM and had to do a manual kinda thing. I felt like dying due to embarrassment but I'm not going to lie it was like having an elephant off my chest. I learned my lesson and decided on a probiotic and or activia yogurt! Ok that was my lil TMI

I was watching some YouTube videos and there was a personal trainer on there that said that the stair climbing machine is the best thing for hips and thighs so I did just joined a gym I'm going to look and see when I go if they have one of those machines and start using it because I know when I climb stairs I have one hell of a time. I've always felt so self conscious because I can't wear shorts my thighs are huge and I not only have cellulite, but these big bulging fat deposits around my hips and in the back of my thighs I have a big bulges as well. It's disgusting. I've never seen this on anybody else per se and I'm thinking that I will be one of those that's going to have to have like a lower body lift or thigh lift when I'm done. This is always been my problem area.. you could count my ribs and my stomach will be flat but then I have these huge thighs and you can't even see my knees. I know this is probably TMI!

SURGERY 9 FEBRUARY 2015
whirlwen replied to Brigette's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay, more TMI--the urinary incontinence disappeared a few hours after the last post I made, which was fabulous, but now I am constipated. I find that any time I take a drink, I get gas pains and have to walk them off. They are more annoying than painful, but I think they would improve if I could have a bowel movement. I will call the surgeon tomorrow if I am still having issues. Other than that, things are going quite well and I am not having much pain. I am having a hard time figuring out when or if I'm hungry and then again when I am full. I imagine it will just be something I will learn with time. Hope all is well with the rest of you and please keep us up to date on your progress! -
Sometimes I wish he would have. When my surgery happened my surgeon had a surprise that I had intestinal malrotation which basically means my digestive system did not form properly. He had my connected incorrectly and then realized it and made the correction. I hope having this surgery done did not awaken something. Since last night I have had nothing but diarrhea tmi liquid and this morning there was lots of blood. Made an appointment and am going to try and get thru till then but I'm def freaking out

SURGERY 9 FEBRUARY 2015
whirlwen replied to Brigette's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery went well. Been up walking this morning and am pretty sore after. Only used the pain pump three or so times during the night and am trying not to use it now. TMI alert: having a problem with urinary incontinence. I've peed myself several times because it doesn't feel like I have to go. Maybe because of the catheter during surgery? Anyway, hope all is well with the feb 9thers! Sending healing thoughts your way! -
I'm totally in that class of people who pick out the big clothes first, thinking there's no way I'll fit into a small or size 4-6, but I do. My ears still perk up at those weight loss commercials and I've noticed now how many of them there are. TMI - but I still feel really self conscious undressing in front of my man... somehow I don't see that my body's not fat anymore. My legs are thin and toned, I have a defined waist and nice, curvy hips.

Greetings this may be tmi but I need help. Sleeved on 2/5 sent home 2/6. Seemed ok but then I couldn't keep anything down. Pain meds made me nauseous and anti nauseous meds barely helped. Stopped taking pain meds. Lots of saliva and was coughing phlegm. Called dock 2/7 got another med that helps keep liquids down but it makes me dizzy for a bit when I take it. At least stuff is staying down. I haven't pooped in 5 days and I'm getting worried. Any advice? Going in today to see Doc. Thank you all for your input.

I went #2 today 5 days post op. It was darker. And I know tmi, but it was soft...meaning I had no constipation issues
-
Ok tmi time. Have you been #2? Is that darker than usual as well? I read the earlier part of post and someone asked about your swallow test - you said you failed - what do you mean you failed? They couldn't see it go through but you did go home so we're you able to retake it?
-
Hi everybody. This might be a TMI post, bear with me here. I eat fast. I finally figured out why. If I'm eating lean steak pieces, sauteed onions and mushrooms, for example, I want badly and need badly to swallow beef, onions and shrooms so I can know I'm eating those foods. Not pureed mush where once it's mush, you lose the structure and essence of what you're eating. I can't handle, yet, the mush in my mouth. Feels sick to me. Am I crazy??? Have any of you felt this way and overcome it, if yes, HOW?

Finally I pooped .... I'm happy about pooping haven't done that since surgery

5 days post sleeve surgery---water diarrhea
hollisrn76 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OK all..can I please ask if loose watery stools post sleeve is normal? They tested my stool for C-Diff and it was negative. I'm on full liquid diet. Everything I put into me comes right out. Sorry for the tmi. But wonder if anyone has had this too? How long will it last? Thanks -
NSAIDS after Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?

What's in your hospital bag?
Miss Mac replied to ☁️9⃣B????'s topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am an old Girl Scout from wayyyyyy back. One of their rules that I still live by is "Be Prepared". It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. I packed a book to read and crossword puzzles, but did not use them. I either slept or watched TV. I took house slippers but wore the slipper socks they provided. I took a CD player, but played the mellow music station on the TV instead. I did use my robe for walking out of my room, my chapstick - frequently, and my teddy bear (yes, at 62 years old I took a teddy bear). I used my teddy bear to support the arm that had the IV in it. I did use my gas x strips, but did not have any shoulder gas at all. I found they were an excellent breath mint. I used my nail clippers, too. Something else I always take to the hospital is a notebook and pen. I write down who comes in my room, what they tell me (or promise me) what medicines or food they give me to take. This has paid of more than once when meds were late or incorrect. At the rehab place I was at after a knee replacement, they finally got the message by the third day. I was there two weeks. The word got out that I was a journalist. I just let them think it, because they gave me better treatment because of it. Aside from wearing the loosest clothes I had so that I could be comfortable coming home, that was pretty much all I used for the two days I was there. Oh, maybe TMI, but anytime I travel or go to the hospital, I take cheap underwear so I can just throw it out. I do not like to travel around with bags of dirty undewear in my luggage. -
Ok I'm sure it's hormones but jeepers! Enough already! I read how postop it can mess with your period so I wasn't surprised when I started a couple days after surgery at the wrong times but I'm usually 3-4 days spotting and this is now a week and a half of spotting (sorry if TMI)! Plus my face is all blotchy! I'm so done with this crap! Ok venting is done now. Thanks for listening

I am glad you were "TMI" that has been a real problem. Thanks so much!
