Im sticking to liquids for awhile. I've heard from so many people that 4-6 weeks was a really barfy time.As long as I drik and get Protein in ( which is tough today) I don't care.

I've thrown up twice now and I'm over 7 weeks out. I found weeks 4-6 fine

Yeah, me too. My husband is floating around looking worried, saying, " I didn't know THIS could happen" ( even though I told him it could).

So I went back to the gym for the first time today since surgery. It felt so good... I don't know if I can type this out and explain it well but here goes. Before surgery there was this machine that you sit in and it works your thighs you spread out your thighs as much as you can and squeeze them back together. Well... When the trainer first had me do this machine I cried because I was so fat I could hardly fit I this machine nd to do the exercise I ha to actually sit in the chair and hold my stomach out of he way to get my legs to be able to squeeze together..., well the good news I sat my butt right in that machine today and doing the excessive when it hit me all of a sudden my stomach wasn't in the way I didn't have to hold it in with my hands I almost cried!!!!! Lol it was a good time hahaha

So today i am super constipated. Sorry for the subject! Took Miralax for three days with no results. It has been 6 days since I've went.I am nauseated and have crampy pain in low stomach. Has anyone used a laxative, like ducolax or the like? Is it ok to take that?

Dulcolax is ok to take. Its a stool softner. You need to take milk of magnesia. I would call your doctor they get paid big bucks and make sure its safe to take it. Remember they rerouted our intestines.

So since we are talking about stool is it just mine that are like rocks?

I took some bisacodyl.sp? Hope it is ok, but I had it here at home, and it worked pre op so we will see. I had to do something! The intestine rerouting is what scares me. I'm afraid ill get an obstruction. My stool is also very hard. I take vicodin regularly for back issues so that doesn't help any at all!

I had this problem right after surgery. My surgeon told me that you can't overdose on Miralax and he told me to drink it every 6-8 hours until I went. It worked after a few extra doses. Good luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
