Circumferential Body Lift Done 12/6
Scout1234 replied to Scout1234's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
LOL…The drain tube was not the freaky part…..it was the clot that took an Iron stomach to yank out!! It was almost as long as the drain tube and at first didn't want to budge. Sorry if that is TMI but someone may read this and need to know!! Thanks for the tip on the binder, after I read your post I tightened it up a little… -
August Post Ops
bloreorbust replied to anniesmommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just wondering the same thing lately. I think it must be hormone fluctuations. There is a physical aspect to it for me (TMI: dryness). -
When I have a BM its so "heavy" that it won't move in the toilet when its flushed, so it doesn't flush. Is this normal and does anyone know why? Is it because of the protein I'm consuming?

Christmas - New Year Challenge
back2barb78 replied to Bea Amaya's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's definitely not TMI. If I don't go for a week or more (this is one of my biggest problems), I will weigh 1-2lbs less after I finally go. It's crazy! -
December 2013 Sleevers Come In!
Thick'n'Thin replied to AtlantaRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Feeling better this morning, day three. I hadn't slept for more than a few hours at a time tops while at the hospital. Last night I slept for about 9 hours! I woke up with very little pain, lots of bowel sounds and even a (sorry TMI) first loose BM. I feel a lot better now. I was starting to see that weakness on the horizon from lack of calories so I called the docs office and the nurse was so helpful with instruction updates for me. I asked about getting back on my awesome protein shakes that taste like chocolate milk (Myology Muscle Science Whey Isolate, got it on Puritain Pride B1G1) and she gave me some directions and sent me on my way. Protein shakes, yogurt, and...PUDDING! Having my first shake now, life is good once again...lol. I'm glad my tastes for the shake didn't change. Love it! -
Dumping...with the sleeve?
Hidden from view posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Without giving TMI, not only did I spew, but I was trapped in the bathroom for an HOUR. I ate a meringue with cream and the effect was immediate!!! Never again. -
Christmas - New Year Challenge
EarthyGoalie replied to Bea Amaya's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have to fix my check in weight for today! Sorry if TMI lol, but I just used the bathroom for the first time in DAYS, and got back on the scale to find that I am 183.0! Yay! Lol I was shocked lol. Merry Christmas everyone :-D -
This might sound silly but I'm paranoid that I'm going to bust a staple and cause a leak. I'm scared to sit on chairs w/o a pillow for support on my back. When I go to bed I'm kind of sitting (my butt was kind of numb this morning I know tmi) because I'm scared to lay flat and bust something inside, when I cough or move or when it starts to make grumbling noises I hold my stomach like if I could shield it from internal damage haha. Now that I've wrote this things and see what I've been doing it sound silly but I've just read so manny horror stories from leaks and I'm a little nervous/scared about that. Sorry just had to vent. 5 days post op!!!

Oh Baby sleeve--I think I loove you!
Teachamy posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day 6.5 post-op and I feel good! Not just mildly good, I'm talking standing, sitting, walking, wrapping, singing, pooping (TMI?) good. My nausea is gone, so are the meds, liquids and jello consistency food going down without a problem, incisions seem fine. I am so glad. There were moments immediately after I woke up in the hospital that I felt I had made a mistake. A lot of it is mind over matter, and I'm glad my body is cooperating. Merry Christmas everyone! Amy -

What Was Your Ah-Ha (Or Oh Crap) Moment?
Fluffnomore replied to SoccerMomma73's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I broke a chair at someone's house about two years ago. I didn't weigh too much more than some of the men there, but still... I think it's a combination of things. I refused to be in pictures. When I saw myself in pictures I couldn't believe it was me. It must have been the lens, or the angle, or something. Or I was standing next to that skinny person! That said, even employing all of the "tricks" like putting your weight on one leg, being photographed from above, turning my head…it didn't disguise that I was big, and getting bigger. Especially when I knew the person next to me in a photo did in fact look just like that... Two years ago I participated in one of those "have a month free" things at a local (very nice) health club. I loved it, really wanted to do it. But (TMI warning) I had female issues…I peed when jumping rope. Then I investigated that with a local urogynocologist, and had the surgery to correct that about 6 months later. I put off going to the doctor to avoid stepping on the scale. Sometimes refused to weigh if I had to go. This year I realized that the last two surgeries I have had (gallbladder and uro-gyn)--if they were not caused by my being overweight, they were exacerbated by it. And I spent a lot of the last year getting sick in small ways and not just bouncing back. And my weight kept creeping up. I realized that it was really a matter of time before I was staring at a diabetes or heart disease diagnosis. Maybe 10 years, maybe less. And did I want to live my life that way, or take the bull by the horns now? Anyway, here I am. Happy about the choice. Working on myself and my progress. -
This is really gross /sorry
Chunky_Dunk replied to meatball1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you male or female? Is this coming from your butt or other area? (sorry if it's personal) I ask because I am a month and 2 days post op and for the past week and a half I have been having this vaginal (TMI) discharge that is brownish pink and thickish. I don't itch, burn, or have any signs of any type of infection, so I'm not sure of what it could be. I don't hurt or cramp or anything. That is why I asked. I want to know if we are experiencing the same thing. LOL! If you are male or it is coming from your hiney, then we probably aren't experiencing the same thing. Would love to know if anyone knows what this could be. I only have one period a year pre op, and true to form I started my period a couple of days before my surgery (and was on it during surgery sadly ...) And this is around the time that I started last month and I do notice that around the time I am supposed to start I just get discharge, but never blood. I am not really bleeding. I thought I was (early start of period), but I only got the brownish blood looking stuff whenever I wiped. Now after a week or so the brownish color stopped, but I am still gettng thick clear discharge. So, I don't know if that was a type of period or what in the world is going on. My body just never wants to cooperate! Any guesses? -
December 2013 Sleevers Come In!
RunningA5K replied to AtlantaRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
All very good questions ATL...thank you for responding...here are the answers... Nope...nothing new in the diet (sadly). Same slim fast, same Protein, plain water (I don't like flavored waters) and same V-8. I am relatively mobile...I get my walks in to about 30-40 minutes a day, but do spend the majority of the day in a somewhat reclined position due to some continued pain around the large incision. I have been drinking in somewhat of a reclined position...perhaps that is the culprit...tomorrow I will sit up more and see if that fixes it. Thankfully, I seem to be regular in the BM department..although it was a tad loose this morning TMI I started having to swallow the Nystatin (for the thrush) about 3 days ago...wonder if it is a delayed reaction to having to swallow that now. Thanks for the hints...I'll sit up more tomorrow and see if that works! -
I'm only ten days out and while I'm still supposed to be on liquids (only) I am texting things as I am starving!! Trust me it's not head hunger I'm starved!! Soup going down well so defo gonna stick with that as a protein! Home made chicken and low cal!! I'm sure it's fine! Plus it helps my bowel work (tmi)

Question for the ladies about that "special" time...
Comfy_Blue posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow and woke up this morning to find that my period has started. When I first joined this site, I thought I remembered someone saying that you can still have the procedure while on your period because they're not going into your uterus, but I couldn't find that post. So my questions are: 1. Will starting my period delay my surgery? 2. Assuming I can still have surgery, is it better to wear a sanitary napkin or tampon tomorrow? (i heard that some people use a catheter after surgery. I'm not sure if I will be one of them because I'm only supposed to stay overnight Monday and go home Tuesday) 3. For those of you who were menstruating while having the operation, did you find that it was hard to change your pad/tampon because you were sore from surgery? Which would you recommend using while you're recovering post-op during those first few days? Thank you and sorry for the TMI, but it's Sunday, so I can't call my surgeon to ask. -
I would image it is ketosis. I had the stinky pee too!! :)Sorry if tmi. But there's a few threads about it lol people said the Listerine taps helped a lot also. It will pass but while your in ketosis I would take full advantage while you can. Meaning walk a lot and if you are cleared to do more do it now. I was in for..... sheesh almost 2 months and I dropped the most weight then.

TMI, bowel movements
itsnevertoolate replied to amanda4166's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
TMI alert !!!! I am so glad to see this post. I'm 4 days post-op and was feeling pretty good so I decided to go to the store. OMG I actually couldn't hold it and I pooped my pants. I don't think I can stay in the house for the next week and a half until I go on pureed foods. Is there any option other than living on my toilet for the next 10 days? -
I know this is TMI, but we are all friends here, right? I'm 5 days post op. All I've had is SF Popsicles and water until yesterday I had some chicken broth. Holy cow! It went straight through me. Fast! Is this normal? Today I had beef broth. Same thing! Am I going to have to eat at home for a while? This is annoying!

All of my December sleevers...
sandisleeve replied to blkdiamond377's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 5'7" Lowest adult weight (2002): 180 My highest adult weight ever (2009): 293 Lots of yo yo-ing since then but most recent stats.... October 2013: 259.8 Surg date weight (12-12-2013): about 237 (lost 22+ on my own personally devised pre-op diet) 1st follow up at surgeons office, dec20: 222 (with clothes on) So I guess I'm down around 15+ pounds since my surgery 8 days go! No surprise due to the clear/ full liquids and diarrhea (tmi I know). My Ultimate goal is around 170 -- surgeon thinks I can get to the 150s... Time will tell... Really don't want to get down too low as I'm large framed and like my occasional sweet treat (: I also love love love to bake!! -

Constipation with extra protein?
planetheather replied to gastricsleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh heavens, yes! I had my gallbladder out 5 years ago and have had real "dumping syndrome" problems until my WLS 3 months ago. Actually until 4 months ago when I went on the pre-op diet and also cut out coffee. I will tell you that there are days I wax poetic about the loss of dumping syndrome. But that's not everyone. Some people get dumping syndrome after WLS. I have not. I do make sure I get at least 70 oz of Water a day and that helps. I saw a good post about someone adding dehydrated veggies to their diet to help with regularity. I know a lot of people use Fiber products to help. I haven't been so uncomfortable yet that I've tried it. But I'm tempted on the weeks when I'm stalled on my weight loss! I know--TMI. -

Karliy, same here- no drive! My poor boy has been very patient with me. Nothing's wrong with you. I'm so tired and don't feel sexual at all but the boy is staring at me wanting some action. I'm glad he's a good man and didn't get pushy with me. I finally gave in and had sex last night (sorry if that's TMI) and it was great! Maybe you just need some more time. I know I did- a LOT of time. Being exhausted doesn't make for a great romp in the bedroom. I didn't notice any difference in fluids thankfully -
May be to much TMI.. I had my period right before surgery it stopped the day before. I then had my period this month and it ended around 12/10.. Then I started spotting today. Is this common. I have lost 40 lbs or so... Not sure if that is causing it. Anyone else?

Does anyone else get food stuck in their throat?
MB0116 replied to MB0116's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It gets stuck right behind my thyroid (where my Adam's apple would be if I were a man. Originally I'd thought mt thyroid was swollen and causing an obstruction. So it doesn't get down very far at all. In fact if I just stick out my tongue the food comes back up. Sorry if that's TMI.
