So I went for my fill and was weighed and was up a lb! I was so annoyed, depressed, irritated.... 24 hrs later I realized I was seriously constipated (Sorry I know its TMI), here we are 2 days later and I am down 3 lbs! WTH! I was literally full of crap! LOL!

Who Knew?! CRAP could make such a HUGE difference! :P:wacko::rolleyes::o:blink::D

My doctor gave me 2 prescriptions. Colace, (liquid) I put in my Protein Shake every morning and Miralax (powder) I put in my hot tea every afternoon.

Nothing like a good BM to make you feel better.

Well since we are talking TMI,,,I used to be a once a day person in the morning fresh out of bed. Now, if I am lucky I will go twice a week and sometimes just once a week and it is not one of the satisfying ones either. On the flip side it's not like I have to go and cannot. I just don't have to go all that much anymore.

My doctor recommended a dose of Milk of Magnesia followed by a hot liquid and within 30 mins, things were smooth going, no cramping, just natural urge to go. Hey, I was thankful for his advice after 4 days of no go!!!

Once Twice sometimes Three times for this lady!

Depends on how many vegies and H2O I have in the day. Being full of SH*T is not for me :)

every 5-6 weeks I have a terrible pain on the upper left of my stomach. I had a CT scan today and I'm waiting for the test results. But according to my Dr., She believes that I'm just full of SH*T. I'm hoping she's right!

I got my CT scan results back today, and My Dr. was right. She wants me to increase my Fiber intake and thats good news for me. They can find nothing bad going on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
