Had to go to ER last night with trouble left side back pain. CT came back with 1 cm kidney stone. Home now, have to pass stone and deal with Constipation at same time. Help things look up soon!

I am so sorry you're going through all this! I've had kidney stones and they're awful, plus if you take pain medication it will just make your constipation worse. I can only offer you positive thoughts and prayers and I feel so bad for you. :( Hang in there!

Thanks so far the only pains were I took we're in hospital. Thanks for the advise though. Didn't think of it making things worse.

I was also given meds to pass stone. Hopefully it doesn't take too long. I have my 4 week sleeve post op appt Monday.

I had a stall from about day 12-25. I'm hesitant to say but I "think" it's breaking. It's frustrating. But they say they go away and to just stick to your plan. Hang in there!

Mine is finally breaking too. I was at 222 on day 6 (down a ton of weight. ) Then I was actually UP two more pounds. .. What the heck!!?! Now I am 221 as of this morning. .. day 19.

The stall thing is very real. Glad it's going away.

Anyone attend support group meetings held by you Bariatric Surgeon office? Mine is held the first Tuesday of every month. I went but I don't know if I'll be returning. First it's kind of far from my house about 40 minutes, second it's held at 6 PM. I loved hearing the success stories of veterans Sleevers, but I get that here on fb. Question and answers session was nice since the answers were relevant to my surgeon and his recommendations.

I actually got a call this morning asking me did I want to join my surgeon Bariatric Support Group. They had a meeting coming up next wk on Thursday. I declined this month but said I'll be interested in going next month. The issue is that unless it's a club I'm joining I don't like group meetings. Especially if it revolves around me talking about my personal problems. My psychologist tried to get me to go to group therapy. I shut her down fast on that one. It's not for me. Maybe I'll check out the support group just to see what it's all about.

I'm in the DFW metroplex. At my hospital, the Bariatric nurse gave me a listing of numerous local groups and their current meeting dates. I've been to one meeting and though it was dealing with subject matter further down the road than I am today, I did get some good info. It was good for me to see real people doing the same thing that I am. There were men and women at different stages, even goal. There are stats, I hear, that people who are active in a group will be more successful. I know that when I'm in a program, if I am more active with the group, I have been more successful. Don't judge all groups by the one that you attended. Check for more in your area. I bet you will find one that is beneficial.

Just attended my first group meeting last night...it was good and will try to go as much as possible. Even thought I don't like sharing my issues. I was ok talking and there was not much people.

Attending a support group was actually a pre-op requirement for me. I really enjoyed sitting and listening to everyone. I'd love to go again now that I am post-op but it just doesn't work with my work schedule :(

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
