Good Morning to all my little June Bugs! :thumbup: No one has been posting on this board for a few days so I thought I would spark it up again! I've had lots of little NSV's since June and all were very similar to yours, so everytime I would read one of yours I'd just chuckle to myself. So here's one that I had this morning that just put a huge smile on my face...I have a pair of really sexy knee high boots that for the past 2 years I would have to leave half zippered under my pant leg because it would not zip up all the way for the life of me! Well, to my delight, they actually zipped up all the way with no trouble at all this morning!!! Yayayayayayaaa!!! :smile2: Since surgery, I have slimmed down all over, and not just in one spot so the loss is really coming along nicely. Hubby keeps saying how I'm looking sexier by the day and he can't seem to keep his hands off me! :smile: (I know, I know, TMI!!) So, I've lost 40 lbs total since the beginning of the year and 32 lbs since surgery!!! I think I'm doing great and seem to be right where I should be with the loss! People are really starting to notice lately and I've been getting so many compliments, which feels great! Also, I've had virtually no sagging or loose skin at all. I think that has alot to do with my age and my skin type (we have really great skin in my family) and also with the fact that I've been walking, walking, walking! Anyhow, hope you're all doing well! Does anyone have any good meal ideas that you'd like to share? I do get bored sometimes so I'd like to shake it up a bit! Hope to hear from you all soon! I also need to update my ticker and I can't quite figure out how to do it! Take care all! xoxoxo

TOM/TMI Question For The Ladies
SummerTimeGirl posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
So I was supposed to get my period last week which would have had my period long gone before surgery tomorrow. But OF COURSE it decides to come today. Is it ok/should I use a tampon or how will this be handled come tomorrow? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr...........Thanks! -
Warning for TMI: has anyone else's sex drive gone through the roof? I'm seriously distracted by this! I'm completely consumed by this spike in my libido. My poor DH doesn't know what to do! I had a very healthy, borderline nympho sex drive when I was thin before. Do you think this is here to stay? Also, my acne has cleared, my monthly cycle was not as painful and long and this is all icing on the cake that has me wanting sex for the first time in a long time. Oh, a weird side effect is my sudden desire to have a baby.

I'm finding it harder & harder to stay 100% focused these days. I don't have that same "gusto" I used to have. I used to log on almost every day, and track my food daily. I logged my food for almost 105 days in a row... and no, nothing in the last week or so. I feel disappointed in myself, and out of sorts. I go to my parents house almost every single day, check their mail, make sure Dad has his meds filled, do their grocery shopping, then take mom to get her hair done every Saturday. That part makes me smile. I don't mean to complain at all as I"m thankful to have them around. They will be 87 & 85 in a week. I have to admit it's a bit exhausting, and I don't have much in the way of energy left to focus where I need to : ME! I know I talked about this during my last post & I thought I could re-focus, but I'm almost at a lost. It's not that I'm over-eating, but I may as well be because I'm not eating as healthy & therefore just maintaining. I'm not even 'regular' (TMI, sorry). I I know it's my own doing, but I'm having a hard time with things. My dad's health affects my own mood. If he's doing well, I'm doing OK. If he's doing poorly, I get a little sad & don't focus. Why is it so stinkin; easy to go back to old habits? He has so many ups & downs. How do you deal with a parent dying of cancer? My dad's so strong too. The last few days he's been feeling better due to steroids he's on, in addition to all the other meds he's on. He still has energy so he's not bed-ridden. But my God, how do you stay focused with this **** going on? I have my 6 month follow up apt on March 11th (a month late), so I think I will ask for a small fill. Again, I'm not over-eating, and I may have lost 3 or 4 ponds in the last 4-6 weeks, but I'm not eating healthy or even working out. I want my focus back.

This might be TMI but since surgery every time I am intimate I get so much pain and urgency to pee it isn't ever a bladder infection. It's driving me to the point of tears because I want to be intimate with my partner but it hurts so much after. The doctors don't seem to care and I'm losing my mind....

Magnesium citrate but no poop
Sydney Susan replied to LI Gemini NY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Glad to hear all is well. Just a tip... that comes with a warning too that it's mega-TMI, so only read on if this is your need. Lots of us girls get a rectocoele as the years march on, particularly if we suffer from constipation, although childbirth alone and a uterus determined to meet your feet someday will do it alone... All that pressure on our pelvic floors and something's got to give, so why not the ever thinning wall between your vagina and your rectum. Those occasions when you feel a poop just inside your rectum that won't actually come out are often due to your rectum expanding sideways into your vagina. Put a couple of fingers in your vagina and press towards your rear firmly and you will return your rectum to its more normal shape and size, allowing the poop to slide down and out. The longer the poop has been stuck the drier it will be so use a 5ml enema to lubricate if you can, or be prepared to go slowly. Without doubt this is some of the least fun you can have with your nether regions, but it does work. Taught to me by a continence physiotherapist. Good luck Ladies. And yes, God must be a man. -
So I'm not even 2 weeks post op and I'm already thinking about when I can have plastic surgery. I've always have very disproportionate sized large arms and somewhat droopy boobs (sorry for the tmi) so I'm really nervous about how they will look after significant weight loss. I know this is shallow, but it's a real concern for me. I'm already saving money for plastic surgery as I know I will need it. After having my sleeve I'm in no real rush to go under the knife again, yet I know I will need to. But, how long after WLS should I wait before having plastics?

Can't have Splenda at all...I wrote in another post about not having IBS anymore. Splenda makes me have the same symptoms that I had with IBS. If I have Splenda......even if it is in one small item (Russel stover low carb stuff for ex) I am in the bathroom all night. I can't imagine having that symptom that Splenda can be a good substitute. Sorry for the TMI

Should this still hurt this much?
skinnyb2012 replied to Heather~ Sweetdreams's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I understand completely. I was worried something was wrong with me because I never remember seeing anywhere in post about the pain that comes after surgery. I mean I know there would be pain, BUT OMG!!!! :blink:This stuff really hurts. I also have lovely post nasal drip right now and the coughing hurts so bad and I am in tears.... But it does get better except I dont think I have slept since I left the hospital on Friday. Im always afraid that I will cough and blow out my left side stitches. Also Water does not like me and I dont like it. Which is crazy since I loved it before surgery but now my tummy does not like it. It yells and burns afterwards telling me how terrible I am.... But I can drink Apple juice with no problems.... Its a light apple juice. And OMG have u went the bathroom yet???? I mean really went? I went today for the first time in a week, first time solid tar reminded me of the baby poop after the baby is born, 2nd time pure liquid out of both ends.... Thank goodness I didnt have a drain in, dont know how much more pain I can take. I swear if anyone every tells me that this is an easy way and I cheated, I will proceed to RIP their heads off.... lol. I think I might try the liquid Loratab tonight (dont wanna cause it is horrible) but I want to actually sleep some.... But I know this is all worth it cause next year this time, I WILL BE ONE SEXY MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Skinnyness is painful.... lol. Im hoping next Wednesday the left side will stop hurting so bad, fingers crossed Sorry if this is all TMI..... lol -
Sleeved36 Thank you and you do the same. Yesterday I was a old lady walking around holding my stomach and bent over. I rold my bf I needed a walker, lol. This morning is much better Im moving a little faster. Yes today think positive thoughts and walk and pass gas as much as possible it helps,lol. I never felt so good to just pass gas to relieve my back pain. Sorry TMI but its true. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

List of things I am sick of because of my weight.
Catracks replied to Ready2BDone's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Being an inch from the steering wheel and barely able to reach the pedals. Not even bothering to go to amusement parks anymore because it's so embarrassing to be sent off a ride for not fitting properly. Being afraid to go out for dinner and being put in a booth that will not accommodate me. Getting in and out of said booths. Being asked to be an extra in a film, but do NOT want to have your fat self in a movie forever. Also, being afraid there will be no costume that fits you. Not wanting people to take pictures of you and having your family pissed at you when you delete/destroy really bad photos of yourself. Not going swimming because any thought of getting into a bathing suit terrifies you (and you don't even have one that fits anymore). Wearing the same 3 pairs of pants because you simply cannot motivate yourself to buy the next largest size. Not being able to put on sandals because reaching around fully to the left side of your foot is now a memory. Not looking good in ANYTHING. Skin problems that I am fairly sure that are related to obesity. Being too tired to do ANYTHING after a full day of work that you used to love like taking care of the house, the garden ... Being too uncomfortable and self conscious for sex (sorry if TMI). Feeling guilty for over-eating. Not being able to horseback ride because your neighbor needs you to be under 200 pounds for the horse's sake. Be terrified of connecting with old friends because they will see you like ... this. It really goes on and on ... -

How Long After Surgery Until You Had A Bm?
OilSooner posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's been four days since surgery for me, and still a no go. I started miralax on day two, but it hasn't helped. I have been able to pass gas, but that's it. At what point should I become worried? Thanks, and sorry if TMI. -
I don't know about anyone else, but I have experience some things with the new me that I did not expect!!! I was never told that the high Protein diet will give you constipation:blushing: (TMI I know) which can lead to hemorrhoids:blushing: (which is an experience all in its self if you have never had them!), your feet loose weight which makes all of your shoes loose:thumbdown:, and your rings start to fall off:mad0:... Anyone else have any surprise outcomes??? But I wouldn't change it for the world!

I'm on liquids now (preop) and I'm peeing like never before. Like, literally going pee . . . working for 15 minutes . . . and needing to pee AGAIN! Did this happen to you? It's kind of getting old.

Will Shoulder Pain Ever Go Away??!!!
LittleGirlBlue replied to Cindyjoe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Interesting... We are learning every day. I realized today that stress can trigger left shoulder pain for me. I've seen some people post about stress making them feel tighter and/or they can't eat as much when syressed. Just wondering if that cam push on the phrenic nerve. I know if I have waited to long to pee (sorry if this is TMI) the pressure and fullnes pushes on enough internal stuff that I have left shoulder pain. I'm 3 1/2 months out. Please keep updating- I like learning about what each of you experience. -
Warning TMI ahead! I haven't even had my surgery yet but I've been eating extremely clean for about two months now. No breads, rice or pasta. No added sugers. Meat only on the weekends. EVERY TIME I've taken a bite of something I shouldn't have *a bite of wife's crab roll last weekend, and a pulled mushroom sandwich on sourdough the week before that) I PEE FROM MY BOOTY! I can't believe my body has the nerve to dump already! Not really mad, because it was stuff I shouldn't have eaten anyway. 😝

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well It's been a while since my last post. I was officially one month post op yesterday! The first two and a half weeks after surgery were very tough for me. I had gone through some type of withdrawal from all the habits and foods I once felt so close to. I felt depressed, in pain, and just overall weak. I felt like I had made a mistake in having this surgery. However, I had to keep reminding myself that things will get better. That this is the best decision I ever made even though it might not feel like it right now. For a week I had a pain in my stomach area that felt like it'd never go away, but with time, it did. I went to universal after two weeks post op and the walking was too much. I got dehydrated quickly and hardly kept up on fluids. I had painful constipation one day (sorry tmi) but with some laxatives, that went away. When I started to eat more solid foods, I started to feel better. It was easier. Now I'm on regular diet, reintroducing foods one by one. I feel so great! My energy is up, my clothes are loose and I'm just so much happier. I went to the doctor 12 days after the operation and I had lost 32 pounds in those 12 days. Incredible right?! I can only imagine what I've lost up till now! I can't wait for my next weigh in. My advice to all newbies would be to keep as much of a positive attitude as you can! And all the hard times are going to be worth the way you feel afterwards! My diet is finally something that's not so boring like liquids -.- Today for lunch I had some chicken from Pei Wei! And last night I had some ceviche for dinner. Only tiny bits though! Since I can hardly fit anything in my pouch lol Ill try to keep my page updated! Good luck everyone! Much love

Hey guys I'm on my 4 week since I was band and I feel good but only thing is I still feel weak and when I sit up like driving my port area gets really sore. I'm just wondering how long does the port area stop from being sore. I'm still affride to sleep on that side or my stomach. How long do we have to wait before we can again. This is TMI but how long do have to wait before we can have sexual intercourse again to? I don't want my port to flip or anything like that. Thanks

Gall Stones Post Op
BetterthanIwasb4 replied to gettinMeBack's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm great! My surgery was actually 10/24 so that's more than 2 weeks ago....initially I had the gas just like with sleeve removal, then I had diarrhea but it's common after removal...sorry if that's tmi lol...but my system has stabilized now so I'm all good! Thanks for asking -
I am 4 days past surgury and today has been a great day, for the most part. I am feeling just a little tired but that is to be expected. I could really REALLY do without the explosive diareha. How long does this last? Between that and the gas I am still working out I am too scared to leave my bedroom. Please tell me this ends!!!

Severe acid reflux/heartburn, 5 months out..help!
SarahRN482 replied to SarahRN482's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So here's my update! I called my surgeon's office this morning and spoke with his nurse prior to my IR appointment. I told her again my symptoms and how I really do not feel my reflux is due to the band being too tight. I told her the only time I have issues is when I eat (literally as soon as I swallow a first bite, the pain is there). I told her that I think I may have gastritis (I'm an RN, so she knows I kinda know what I'm talking about even though I work with heart patient's and not GI stuff lol). I asked her to please talk with the doc before I went into the hospital to get registered and dropped $650 to get Fluid taken out of my band and then that not be the issue. She said she didn't blame me for wanting to try the least invasive treatment first, so that's what we did. I'm currently on carafate 4 times a day, and even after one dose I've had so far today, I can tell a HUGE improvement. Tonight, I had another thought though, while I was TMI!!! on the toilet. I have had MAJOR constipation issues. I have tried everything possible to help, from Miralax to Colace to Sennakot to Fleets enemas and suppositories. I've even started eating chia seeds in the mornings in my yogurt because I've heard that helps. I drink at least 64oz of Water per day, most days closer to 100oz, so know it's not a hydration issue. Before my surgery, I could drink 2 cups of coffee and poop every morning like clockwork. Not so much now! After I had a BM tonight, I felt SO much better. I almost wonder if the constipation isn't exacerbating the reflux?
