6 Days Post Op and a little TMI!!
mammadukes112 commented on Ciara Patrice's blog entry in Ciara Patrice's Blog
Mine to and it hurts sometimes. Guess its norm. Hey Sh#t happens about the TMI. And remember to much antibiotics give us those dam things Eat yogurt. -
First I get a result from my dobutamine stress test that indicates I need to see the cardiologist....which has me in a panic that I wont get the surgery. Today I saw him and he could not understand why I was there as nothing in my results indicated the need. While relieve, I could not help being a bit bitter about having to pay $25 of our limited funds to be told this. Meanwhile I was so affected by the dobutamine I postponed my colonoscopy until this week from last Friday. Mind you, this is not normally on the list of required tests...but since I am due for it (sorry for the tmi but I had two polyps on the last one so need another after three years and my WLS doc wants it done before my sleeve). Last Thursday my sleep study results came back and I have apnea. Not too surprised, and more than willing to use the machine... Then I get a phone call from the Gastro department that the apnea dx means I need a general anesthetic for my colonoscopy and THAT WILL DELAY IT UNTIL POSSIBLY JUNE!!!!! I am beyond freaked- with the cardiologist out of the way and my psych eval coming up in two weeks, my nutritionist has said she will help me get the surgery in April, May at the latest. WTF!!!!!! The wacky thing is if I had only had my procedure last week..... DANG!!!!! I had one three years ago with the same doctor with no problem whatsoever for the twilight sleep. The fact that anesthesiologists are only available that far out could totally ruin my chances to have it before June, when we are plunged into our busy season as wedding photographers.

Good luck to you ...take it easy. Oh oh..I can answer one question...had first bm on friday (water..maybe tmi but its an fyi) -
This is a pretty major concern for me, too. I'm pre-op but generally eat a very high-fiber diet. TMI, but I am...very petite in THAT area and the few instances of backup I have had have meant major trauma...tearing, bleeding...eeeek. Going low carb sounds like a recipe for pain to me.

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 -
Ok, so this morning I was doing my normal post workout shower. Planned on going swimming tonight and shaved as well. I shave EVERYTHING. For the first time in maybe in 10 years I was able to SEE what I was shaving... Not just by feeling. Had to share. Figured some would understand my excitement. lol

39.9 percent and .1 short
fitflab25 commented on fitflab25's blog entry in My path to being comfy with my self in and out.
so I went in this morning to weight in to start the process over, I knew i was short. So i wore my baggy pants cause more material, ate a number two meal from wendys, and manged my cell phone in my pocket. I have to be 40% bmi and I came in at 39.9%! lol so i have to come back in monday morning to do this damn thing. I almost said for get about it that simple and then i benged on chinese food and was like omg omg omg i need this damn thing cause there is no way i would have managed that with the lap band. Not to mention this drastic measure is going to give me the kick in the butt that i need to hit it hard core more than what i am now... so monday it is. I just hope i dont take a big bath room break before hand lol lol sorry if thats tmi.. love u banders and i cant wait to join the family -

Tmi question: when should I have a bowel movement? It's been like 5 days...is it normal not to have one after surgery? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I only took my pain killer the morning after the surgery, but only because I had a killer headache. My surgeon, and I can only guess all, suggested I have tylenol (acitominophen) so you have it on-hand when needed. Make sure you have something that will help you...TMI, but help you go # 2. Many people, myself included, faced issues with constipation. I highly recommend a hot tea called Smooth Move. It's gentle, no cramping, and will get you going within 12 hours. Trust me, you'll thank me.... Best of luck....

I think I was able to eat salads 8 weeks out. I really enjoyed it the few times I had them. However, I can no longer eat them. TMI Warning: They give me runny BMs, and I get immense gas pain. So they might something to watch out for. Too much corn also gives me immense gas pain as well. Although, cooked cabbage is no problem at all.

August 5 now I'm starting to get scared. Actually freaking out a bit. Last week was the my last NUT until after and she said I was HPYLORI positive. They scared the hell out of me because she said I might have to wait 6 weeks to have the surgery. She called my Dr. and he said it was fine to just put me on antibiotics until the surgery. I know he said it was OK but now my anxciety is kicking in and I'm questioning it. Should I wait or is this my excuse because I'm starting to freak out. Also this is a post-op question. I've been reading about the constipation after surgery. Sorry if this is TMI but I've suffered from this my whole life. I was wondering can we take Probiotics after surgery and does it help? Promise the pre-op pics will come soon just trying to get the nerve up. Love this site can't get enough, Lori

pre op urine colour - probably TMI!!!

again sorry if the post is TMI.. lol -
You know you have good restriction when...
bandpal replied to steph_co's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks, guys! I tried taking the liquid in small sips and I'm not as queasy. Yay! It's amazing how hard it is for me to think small. No matter what you're eating or drinking, you can always cut it in half. I got an unfill today... Hope that works out for you, Cindy. I know you've been uncomfortable. I think it will be easier to loose weight without adding all the extra calories to my meals. I enjoy a little olive oil mixed in with my meals - good Mediterranean flavor, less calories than gravy or mayonnaise, tasty and a little grease on the wheels for the other end of the train track (TMI). I think I'm at the sweet spot with 7.25 cc's. Hope so. Me too! Go get 'em! -

TMI for Sure. But i need some advice from my fellow sleevers. I was sleeved April 2012. I have had bouts of constipation here and there. But. Nothing like what I am dealing with now. I have been taking miralax for about a week now and have been able to go some. Yesterday I did an enema and within 30 seconds I had to go& it was all watery. I did another enemy today. Went right away again and watery as well. I am so bloated & my abdomen hurts. I'm so nauseous & I feel like there is more to come out. But. Nothing Else is coming out. Any suggestions?? Is this common? Do I call my doctor?

HELP! SERIOUS gas 4 months post-op..poss. TMI
MistyDTX posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4 months post-op and the last 2 days have been agony for me. I have had the worst gas I have ever experienced. I've also had diarrhea for the last 24 hours. I've used Gas-X strips, taken Gas-X tabs and taken some Immodium. Tonight I took a hot bath and have been using the heating pad. I made myself take my DD to the park because I know walking helps get the gas out. NOTHING is helping! The last time I had this much discomfort I was in the hospital having a baby! These gas pains have been so bad they've felt like labor! Until now I haven't had any gas issues at all, other than right after banding. Is gas this severe common? It's nuts, I can HEAR and FEEL the gas in my belly. What else should I do? HELP! -
Gallbladder removal: friend or foe?
brandnewbie replied to cyncitygirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't speak to being gallbladderless post sleeve, but I can tell you that gallstones are much more painful than having it out. :-) It is a laproscopic procedure and recovery is pretty minimal compared to other things. Once it is gone if you do eat less than innocently your body might rebel a lil, which can be a good thing to keep you in check. Just remember when you are sick to keep drinking fluids because bile in its pure form, really unpleasant. Sorry if it's TMI, just cpl things I wish I had known b4 mine. Still worth having done because they are once in a while annoyances compared to mind numbingly painful consistent attacks. -
Yep, I ditto what Nicole K said! I'm only 8 days and each day is getting better! I had buyers remorse and post op blues on days 3-5. Besides the diahhrea (ick and tmi) each day is getting better. It's hard with all the meds and trauma your whole body has experienced. Walk and sip, walk and sip! Congrats!!

Has anyone has impacted stool? Yesterday morning I noticed that I was having trouble and that I hadn't really experienced anythikng like it before. I am 2 no the post op RNY and have suffered some constipation but for the most part have had regular am BM. I've had to to some unorthodox things to help with this situation and last night I drank some milk of magnesia to maybe help soften what was left. Well this morning I found myself batrlijng the softr stool that was stuck behind the hard stool. I'm scared, I don't want to injure myself but now whatever is left is causing some annoying discomfort. Help a girl out...the last thing I want is a rubber glove and a doctor [emoji24] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Started Solids Early.... Concerns (warning Tmi)
BylawTom posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello all, I had my surgery on Dec.19, and somehow survived Christmas without cheating. I did however try some soft solids on thursday and friday, which didn't cause me any discomfort. New years eve I had real solids, ie. some chicken, shrimp. other than feeling really full, it went okay. So Sunday I had some more solids... 3-4oz of lamb, a few bites of greek salad, and some steamed vegetables. Everything that I've eaten I've made sure to chew like crazy. - Concern = about 12hrs after the meal, woke up with a major stomach ache, diarrhea, nausea. Stomach ache lasted about 12hrs, felt like there was a brick in my right side, which gradually got better as the Water I was sipping constantly flushed through me. It's now the next morning and I'm still having diarrhea, slight nausea....... Is this something I should be getting checked out? or can I attribute it to eating what my body was not ready for? -
Am I a lost cause? How can I believe in me when I have failed so many times in the past?
Mistie replied to More than this's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get that you love your doctor. However, a doctor should support you, not attempt to control you with fear. If you are leaving your doctors office feeling bad about yourself and/or bullied, it's time to move on. And bullied is the word that is coming to me from reading your post. A couple of years ago I went to a doctor who prescribed WL meds to give that a try. Every visit, all she did was harp on how horrible one of my other meds (Depo Provera shots) are, that I need to get off of them, how bad they are for me, etc. I tried to explain that I understood the risks, but my gynecologist, who I've been seeing for almost 10 years, had tried a half dozen other meds, and this one works... She didn't 'hear' me. She had her OWN AGENDA. And it did not coincide with mine. No Depo, at this time, means me coming close to bleeding to death (sorry if too much TMI) - it's the only thing stopping it. She didn't care, she just had this idea in HER head of what *I* should do. So if your doctor 1) bullies and/or 2) has an agenda that does not mesh with yours and makes you feel unheard. Go elsewhere. I wanted to keep taking the meds... but I stopped, because I refused to go to a doctor who treated me with so little respect and had so little respect for me, my opinions, and my ability to make decisions. I wish you the best of luck. Where there's a will, there's a way - even if it takes a little time!
