291 lbs.- spinal injury - hard time...wiping... My butt.

@@tssiemer

no such thing as TMI

if you can't ask "us"

who can you ask

many/ OP have similar issues with the bathroom

are you saying that your spinal problem will never improve??

or spinal problem will improve as you lose weight????

ummmm

you need to bend forward as much as you can

when you need to "wipe yourself"

good luck

If you're in public put a pack of baby wipes in your purse.

I tend to find them easier to use.

At home would it be easier to rinse off in a shower or something?

Yeah. I have a hand held shower head for that. But I work up to 10 hours a day. :-/ I was in a stall at a park at my husbands family reunion and just could not finagle I way to wipe properly.

Have you tried one of those sticks? The one I found on Amazon even comes with a carrying case so you can keep it in your purse.

      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.
