October 12th surgery

Milk of magnesia works like a charm! And really helps the bloated feeling!

I was sleeved on the 13th and started Milk of Magnesia today.

It is all my surgeon suggested for Constipation. Hope it works.

I wss

I was sleeved on the 13th and I'm feeling much better now that my nausea is under control but just really tired now. I'm on Water, broth, and Jello until tues. How are you doing? Are you still on clears?

So far I am doing great. Still on liquids so my day consists of Protein Drinks and water.. Occasional sugar free Jello. I have my follow up on the 29th where I will finally be cleared for soft foods.. I can't wait to eat eggs or tuna! Lol!

1 week post op today. It's hard for me to drink the Protein Shakes. But I can get the Water down no problem. 8lbs down in a week and feel great. Hope everyone is doing great.

Two weeks post op guys!! How is everyone doing? Anyone moving on to soft/puréed food this week? How much have you lost?!?

Update for me: doc appt in the 29th and then I will be moving to soft food. I cannot wait!!! To be truthful though I have tried mashed potato and cinnamon raisin granola baby food already. Tolerated both great. But a teaspoon was all I let myself have. Wasn't really hungry but I think it was just curiosity to see how I would do on it....

So far I have lost 20 lbs as of today!! Super excited about that. Coworkers are raving how they can tell in my neck, legs and upper tummy. I still have a tire around my lower abdomen... Still have not went down a size in clothes.. I know it is that mommy bump that doesn't want to shrink!!! But I am still very happy so far!

Way to go!!! I have my 2wk post op visit with the surgeon too and I'm moving to soft/pureed food this week. I am so excited to have some variety! I'm struggling with getting all the Protein down, but dropping weight. I'm down 36 lbs since preop and 15lbs since surgery. That part feels really good:)

Astrogirl did you have gas pains

Astrogirl did you have gas pains

I did not really have gas pains.. I did have gas buildup that caused me to burp quite a bit but found that taking the gas X helped a lot! Pain was never an issue with me though.
