Can't concentrate on how much weight in losing because first I had a problem having a BM now I have urinary retention.. They say it's common but damn... any oddities that can happen I seem to be the victim of... Sorry not tryna be a Debbie downer it's just frustrating...

...

Mskiesha29. I had to go to hydration therapy twice. And I am going through the same as you with bm. Got through that and and my bladder holding on to the liquid. Doctor says because I am not drinking enough. Had my 3 wk post op today and I have a bad bladder infection. Hang in there. We just have to get more fluids in. Both of us. GOOD LUCK!!

I had better luck with Miralax than Benefiber. Doc says Benefiber can bulk you up. However, it took 3-4 days for miralax to work. Now I'm right as rain, going poo poo in the potty daily.

Had sleeve August 25. Down 9 lbs since day of surgery and 29 pounds since started Preop diet. I'm seeing the inches come off. Bad about exercising. I'm on my feet all day as a teacher and do quite a bit of walking across campus but want to start using that expensive treadmill I bought 2 years ago. Still on purees. Not exactly sure when I feel full. Brain isn't telling me to stop and don't want to eat to the point of pain. Head hunger has been a huge challenge. I am finding sugar free Popsicles help.

Try milk of magnesia. A dose in the am and a dose in the pm. A couple days of that ( or less) and you'll get bm. It is what they use in nursing homes to get the elderly going.

Gm sleevers. Happy Friday. Is anyone taking the Bariatrics fusion Vitamin. I take it four times per day. To me it's like eating chalk. Yuck...

Hi, yes that's what my surgeon recommends. Dose of 4 instead of 3, too. I take two in the a.m. and two in the p.m.

I have the orange cream - not bad. I'm sure I'll tire of them, but I think of it as medicine. :-)

I tried fish again my stomach just isn't ready for it. I was able to eat crumbled sausage and Tomato sauce no problem. It's amazing how some foods are no problem and others reek havoc. I started to add Fiber in my yogurt and the BM issues have improved. I've lost 5 more pounds. Feeling pretty good.

My surgeon won't let me go to full exercising until he sees me again in 1 month... So I'm thinking in total they may want us to wait at least 6 weeks to heal.. Don't quote me..

      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.
