Yup!

Milk of mag works! Takes about 18 hours on me, but it works!

Wow, everyone is doing so awesome!!

Date of surgery 2/11/14

Starting weight 257

Surgery weight 246

Current weight 216

I also stall if I don't get enough calories. For me, the right range is 800-900 calories and 70-80 gms of Protein. I never get my Water in, usually only 40 ozs. Went from a size 20 to 16. I am 5'10" and I had a lower BMI. I miss the diet coke!!!

^{SW = 246 lbs (Highest ever 262)}

^{Surgery Date 02/27/14 = 234 lbs}

^{Current Weight = 215 lbs}

^{Down a total of 31 lbs @ 6 weeks post op.}

^{Was in size 18-20 (5' 6 1/2") and now in some 14's-lose 16's! I cannot wait to get below the 200 lb mark! That is my first goal I have set for myself! I actually weighed 215 fully clothed yesterday and my dr office takes off 3 lbs for clothing so they charted me at 212. It's working! Just have to try a little harder on getting in more fluids. I am feeling all of your pain/struggle when it comes to slow bowels. I'm definitely going to try the V8 Splash I saw someone mention. I'm not a fan of Milk of Mag etc I don't care for the whole ex-lax feeling of going uncontrollably and horrible stomach cramps. Good luck to you all! Everyone is doing great!}

I did a clean out this weekend too. Good job! It feels good.

I've done the opposite. Find clothes I haven't been able to wear ever, or not for a long time, and they fit perfectly!

Yay us!

[SuperFab 689]

I need to. I need to get rid of them, but my old brain keeps thinking "what if you need them again?"

I think it'll be my goal tomorrow to get rid of anything too big for me. Bc it will be too big for me forever.

[cwang2680 79]

I had a good time going through my clothes. Found stuff that hasn't fit in a while.

Different topic: I'm on my second cold sore since surgery. Any prayers would be appreciated. So tired of these stupid things.

Anyone wake up with pain? Doesn't hurt when I swallow but just ache. Now that I say that swallowing is hurting but deep in my stomach. Is something stuck?

The only time I did that I had taken liquid codeine on an empty stomach. I thought I was gonna have to go the the ER. but I ate some pudding right away and was fine afterward.

I am very new to the site and hoping that I am doing this post correctly.

I was sleeved on 2/27 and I have been so depressed and regretting it ever since. I was originally told I could go back to work after 10 days, but the Dr wouldn't sign off because I had ripped an internal stitch, so I was out for a month. People at work are constantly watching what and how much I eat like I am an animal at the zoo. I can't eat more than 2 ounces at a time, i have to use a stop watch because I eat too fast, even though I never feel hungry I shovel food in! I can not stand any Protein Shakes. I am over it. And then 10 days ago I ended up in the ER with 5 kidney stones and my urologist wants to do surgery. 2 surgeries in 2 months scares the hell out of me. I was prescribed vicodin for the stones and I vomit every time I have to take it. I am out of sick and vacation time. I have no energy. My 13 year old daughter cried to me today that she thinks I am going to die because of WLS. I am just struggling looking at the big picture. That hopefully I will be healthier in the long run and be around for my daughter and fiance. I guess I just needed to vent. I am grateful for the weight loss so far. I have a pseudotumor cerebri and I have not had one headache since 1 week post op. So I know there is positive changes already. My presurgery weight was 296, day or surgery was 284 and I am 244 today. I am really glad I found this site so I know there are others out there that struggle as well.
