So it is almost Day 12. I wasn't suppose to eat mushies until day 14. However, I was literally gagging when I had to have another Soup, pudding, Jello, etc. So, I had something yesterday. Now, I know I probably shouldn't have started with this but I had some Wendy's chili and a plain baked potato with a smidge of butter. I got in about 6 small tsp. of the chili and about 5 bites of potatoes. I felt fulll and stopped. I began to feel human again,........not so tired and listless. However, about an hour afterwards, I felt super full and it was like a heavy bomb in my stomach and throat. I don't recall anyone describing a stuck episode that way. But I felt so sick last night. I chewed a mango/papaya pill which maybe helped a little and went to bed. I still felt bad when I woke up but the more I walked and was up the better I felt. So I tried about 8 small tsp. of egg saladat lunch today. Felt okay at first but then about 30 minutes later....I had the same feeling along with nausea like it was going to come back up but I couldn't burp. Since we have all been on a liquid diet for 1 month and our stomachs are not use to the band yet....is this what I have to go through to get to feeling fine with foods? I don't want this to happen everytime I eat, I am really hesitant to eat now AND I haven't even had my first fill yet! Has anyone else gone through this and if so, how long long does it last? Any other mushy foods that anyone can suggest that may be more friendly tomy stomach? PS....sorry to be TMI but it doesn't help that I have gone to the bathroom once in the 11 days since surgery.

tennisloverxox replied to SZQ082211's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am almost 4 weeks out. I think you are going to be just fine. I hurt mine really back about 2.5/ with crazy sex (sorry about TMI). I called the nurse the next day, becasue I was so sore and in pain. She said not to worry, that port is sewn in so well with mesh it wont flip and you didnt do anything. Thank GOd i was really worried. So i told hubby no more until 3 weeks, dr. said 2 weeks. Anyway.. dont worry, i was so sure I did something terrible to it.. relax and heal! sure enough by the next 2 days it was no pain and back healing right.. -
Sorry if this is TMI but I've stopped getting friction issues between my thighs like deep boil-type infections, ingrown hairs and uncomfortable sweating. I had major relief and I've lost only 20 pounds. Thank goodness I'll have lost even more weight by summer.

Hey scalaholics, does this happen to you?
~Bridgette~ replied to KartMan's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't do that with pee, but when I know I'm getting ready to poop, I hop on the scale and then go back to the scale afterwards.... I guess, one day I'm hoping for a 5lb dump or something... now that's TMI!! LOL -
That is excellent news! I have PCOS and have cycles...well, whenever they feel like it. It would be nice to be able to predict when they should arrive. Maybe TMI, but I seriously struggle with facial hair sometimes...does that get any better?

Tried caffeinated coffee and a 6 week update
MyTimeToLose posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I drank my first caffeinated coffee today (small, non fat, no whip Mocha) and well, after only drinking about 6-7 ounces, it acted like an enema! Sorry TMI. Anyone else experience this? I didn’t get any of the dumping syndrome feelings from it ( no aches, cramps, headache, sick all over, hot feelings), just had to go, one time and I am fine. Strange! I am definitely awake though, lol, so the caffeine really worked! I also found that it makes you not hungry since I forgot to eat lunch today after I drank it. Whoops. Not a good thing when I barely make 700 calories a day when I eat all my meals. So now I am down on Protein for the day, so I have to get a shake in too, yuck, lol. Not sure it was worth it, but I am happy I am awake. Just a warning for those who try it once they bring back a “normal” food diet….don’t plan to do it out in public in case you have to run, lol. On a good note, my weight stall is no longer and I am almost in the 230’s, only 1 more pound! So 29 pounds in 6 weeks (269 day of surgery) I am soooo excited. I saw some people I haven’t seen in over 3 months and they didn’t even recognize me! It was such a great feeling. One even said….wow you look sexy (in jeans and a tighter t-shirt). I haven’t thought of myself that way in a long time! -
I had that same crazy pain last week. It was awful! I was doubled over and it lasted about 15 hours. I didn't go to ER but talked rinse and she worried it might be internal hernia but once the pain magically stopped I didn't pursue it. Meanwhile I have had very pale/clay colored stool last 3 days (sorry TMI I know) but I know that can be a sign of gallstones so I did call Dr today. They want a CT scan but gave to get it approved by insurance first since it isn't an emergency at this point. I read that can't always see the hernias on a scan. Ugh.

Hey Nov. Sleevers... How are you???? I was sleeved on the 12th. So far I'm Ok. I am fine with my Water and Protein... sip sip sip. My goal is to drink one 200 calorie can per day per my MD, Plus as much water as possible. Of course I am still very achy and feel very weak and dizzy at times... but over all I'm Ok... I have yet to vomit... but today I passed my 1st BM post op... TMI: OMG diarrhea attack... my stomach and guts were turning and I barely made it to the rest room. Sorry for the details... but I want to share the good truth! Oh well... its over and I am much relieved. FYI: I gained 10 pds post surgery... I think from all the IV fluids and swelling-cuz I weighted 235 the day of surgery and 245 2 days later????? Well today is day 4 and I'm down 8 out of those 10. Question: Whats your 2 week post op diet????? Mine is only a Protein shake divided in to 4 servings per day and water... :/ Good Luck & God Bless to all!!!!!

Love the name Happy! I'm not bulimic, but I am seeing a therapist for food and other issues. Having been dirt poor as a child, I've always struggled with the need to have LOTS of food in the house, even if it goes bad before it gets eaten. I also had a sibling who ate all of the "treats" that we did get as kids as soon as they came home, so I learned that treat foods must be eaten immediately if I wanted any of them. My main issue was sweets and the sleeve has made them disgusting to me, except chocolate. I had to get rid of the halloween candy I bought this year because it kept tempting me and I ate about six of them the day after I bought them. Then I promptly had potty issues (TMI, sorry). I'm pretty happy that I'm lactose intolerant now, because that means I won't eat ice cream. The results aren't worth it for me. Between hitting this board constantly and talking to my therapist, I'm moving away from the food issues to something that I consider a healthier attitude. If I'm angry, I go walk on the treadmill, or take a walk outside. At one time anger would have meant I'd go buy a package of cannolli and eat it before I got home, or a quart of Ben & Jerry's that I didn't share with anyone but me, myself and I. Is it any wonder I was big enough for 3 people before? I am consciously trying to create a crossove addiction to exercise. I like the endorphins I get from walking, biking, or using the elliptical! And, exercise is not bad for you if done properly. I wish all of us luck in dealing with our head issues.

Plastic Surgery After Lapband
luvmy2dogs replied to oldiebutgoodie2's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thank you for your thoughts. I firmly believe running is what keeps my weight off. My eating has increased since I had my band done almost 4 years ago. I'm pretty much maxed out on my fill, and don't have a ton of restriction, so I have to do something to keep the weight in check. ha! I visited with a couple surgeons, and most will do the tummy tuck and breast lift together. They don't like to do tummy and legs, because I guess with tummy you hunch over, and with legs you are supposed to stay straight, so one would kind of outdo the other. I haven't even asked about face, etc.. Congrats. on your arms. I would like to have mine done, but I had to pick my battles. I can only do this once. $$$ does not allow a multiple surgery, so I chose the two parts I want to do most. My breasts have tons of skin, and it flaps when I run, even with the best bra possible. (I know tmi) hahah sounds nasty ha? My stomach isn't terrible, but def have a slight apron, and I figure since I'm doing one anyway, I would go for it. Maybe down the road I can do another part if I win the lottery, lol. Thanks again for getting back to me. I'm going to see another surgeon next week. -
I would love to know when people started feeling like themselves. I feel spacey. Having loose BMs, tmi, and doing my drinking, sip, sip, sip. I just want to feel normal again, besides the hunger and overeating of course. I will showe today, yesterday horrible headache, and get out and walk more, it has cooled off. In LA area and yesterday was so hot, especially after spending almost 3 days in hospital. Please send me some progress on yourselves, it helps.

I Have A Question About Going To The Bathroom

Learning about this new sleeve - TMI alert
Beadingnurse posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am apparently a slow learner as yesterday I guess I ate my 100 calorie cottage cheese dinner too quickly. I headed out for a walk immediately after finishing and within a few minutes I had the hiccups...something I haven't had in YEARS. Then the hiccups stopped (after maybe 5 minutes) but I felt this enormous pressure under my diaphragm like I needed to burp. It was so painful that I turned around and headed back to the house but....vomited before I got a block away. (Sorry neighbors...not a pretty sight to see). :crutch: You'd think that I would have learned my lesson, but NO...I did it again this morning! I got the hiccups immediately after eating, they lasted about five minutes, huge feeling of pressure and then I vomited again. The only improvement over the second time is that I was in MY bathroom and not the neighbors yard! The reason that I am sharing all of this is to get feedback about whether or not anyone thinks this might be more related to acid production versus too fast eating...or maybe a combo? I didn't appear to actually vomit the cottage cheese but more of a stringy, mucus type stuff...is this the dreaded slimes?? :fear: I am not taking anything for acid production as my doc likes to wait and see if it is necessary. I haven't had the feeling of acid reflux like I did before surgery but maybe it won't present itself in the same way? Tomorrow is my 2 week VSG anniversary and I have my follow-up appointment this afternoon so I'll see what the doc say but any other advice is welcomed! -
Another March 13 person here! Doing ok, still a little sore. Have been eating pureed fruit, custard, white fish in sauce, stuff like that. I have been able to eat more than I thought I would; sometimes I feel really hungry but most of the time am not interested due to weird feeling in chest. TMI - definitely badly constipated, have taken laxative stuff today to try to help.:lunch:
-
Oh yeah. I forgot that question. They do test for nicotine. I am 2 weeks post op and I had the RNY. I am just starting the puréed diet. I'm getting about 40 grams Protein per day and trying my best with the Fluid. No major problems. I've read a lot about no postoperative pain and stuff but I did have pain. It's pretty much gone now. I was constipated for a little over a week, but now I've had cramps diarrhea since yesterday. Don't know if it's my fault though. I went to an air show and got a smoothie. They said it was fruit only with no added sugar, but idk. All that may be TMI, but it's just my experience so far. Nothing major, just minor inconveniences. But I'm only 2 weeks out and my body is adjusting. On the upside, I've list 20 pounds since surgery.

@leag78---I feel your frustration. I also do get tired of Water. I put fresh lemon in mine everyday, but I still get tired of that. I have to stay away from artificial sweetners as much as possible, so crystal light products are out. I drink ice tea on occasion, that helps. My surgeon says no caffeine though, so I have to watch that. I wasn't sure why the no caffeine rule. I asked at my last appointment and they said too much can lead to dehydration. I had an issue with this just a few days before my last appointment. I had been drinking diet Snapple and regular ice tea a lot for about a week. I started noticing my urine (sorry, TMI) was smelling really strong and I had an aching in my kidney area. After telling my Dr. about this, and ruling out a UTI, he said it was because of the over use of caffeine. It had started causing dehydration and starting effecting my kidney. So I increased water ALOT and that quickly took care of things. I also miss carbonation. I had checked out those ICE drinks too and had to quickly say no! But I had taken just a sip of my son's soda one day and I was instantly in pain. (my pouch area actually had a burning sensation) NOT worth the carbonation! It is all a life changing process, so we just have to take each day as it comes and learn from each other as much as we can. Sometimes, even though we know the right answer, it's good to hear validation from others!

I've felt super full before and have thrown up a bit but this was my first time fully dumping. I got all the symptoms *tmi* i was sitting on the toilet with diarrhea while throwing up in the trash can. Shakes, flushed, heart rate at 135. All this because I ate 1 sweet and sour chicken ball and a egg roll. I feel like death. Sent from my SM-G973W using BariatricPal mobile app

Sliding hiatal hernia and lump in chest?
luv2bingo07 replied to luv2bingo07's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Update on Dr. appt. about my lump in chest. Turns out that since my weight loss, I WAS feeling the low end of the sternum which is mostly cartilage and soft tissue. When I would push on it and messing with it, I was making it inflamed and made it tender and sore. He offered an anti-inflammatory and I said I was happy to kick the naproxen after many years and I didn't want it. He said then you should just stop pushing on it and irritating it and should be fine. Ok...lol I was stressed all day because of work and this appt. I was thinking the worse possible news I would get from this. I was stressed over something at work and had a sharp pain in my chest. That just about put me over the edge..lol My BP was great, but I had a slight fever. I have been struggling with nasty constipation lately, but will soon get relief. I know TMI...tee hee Thanks for your help and concerns. Peace, Judy -
Ducolax Question
Orchids&Dragons replied to mylighthouse's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Sorry to be gross, but . . . If you're sitting on a rock, the bm has already made it to your rectum and it's just too hard/large to pass. Dulcolax isn't going to change that. It may just make you even more uncomfortable by building up pressure behind the blockage. You have 2 options as were explained to me: A Fleet glycerine (not water) enema. Apparently you will need someone to help you with this. And it can be extremely messy. Pretty much the only other thing you can do is put on a glove, lubricate well, and try to reach in and break up the stool. All the stool softeners/laxatives in the world aren't going to shrink the size of the bm now. Apologies if this was TMI but reality bites sometimes. -
Lol .. TMI hahaha

I hope this isn't TMI but I do not need lube but I had heard of people using PreSeed to help conceive... We used it the last two times. I'm not sure if that helped or it was just our time but just thought I would share in case you are looking for a maybe boost :-)

I'm on pre-op diet of liquids - day 3 - and I go a lot....it's all liquid (sorry for the TMI) but I am going.

Hi all. Odd post I know but I had to ask if other people were experiencing this. As I've lost weight everything feels so exposed now. I wear kinda tight jeans (not where I have to suck in to zip or anything) and even when I'm sitting in the car or walking it's like they are rubbing on my good stuff. I feel like I constantly have an invisible camel toe now. At first I thought it was just a specific pants that had low rise but no, its all of them. I haven't been this small since Middle school so I suppose this might be what everyone experiences who is of normal weight? I guess my thighs and fat had kept things quit cushioned before. I do wear panties but maybe i need like some padded ones or something <shrug>. Maybe TMI but j ust standing or sitting everything is hidden if you know what I mean I don't have extra good stuff so that it might be easy to rub against jeans etc.

I'm drinking! I'm drinking! I'm drinking!
LipstickLady replied to LipstickLady's topic in Food and Nutrition
Oh, there will be no butt trumpets here unless I am sitting on the pot. How in the world could I be (TMI) making this weird sludge if I have nothing in my system? It's disgusting and I am so afraid that I am going to shart. Butt trumpets are for potties only for now. -
I love my simply organic website. I have been eating clean for 2 years and banded for 4 years. I gave up meat, and eat as organic as possible. Or at least as much as my budget allows. I am not vegan but gave up milk and meat for my health. I look at the ingredients for everything to make sure it is as healthy as possible. Eating clean and healthy gave me an amazing about of energy along with my ALL NATURAL supplements I use. Not to be gross, but by eating healthy, I can even tell in my bowel movements-TMI. http://www.simplyorganic.com/store.php?Screen=recipes Here is my website of the supplements I've been using for years and love. https://showstopperwraps.myitworks.com/Shop/Category/192
