I am OVER it today.

[ocgirl15 667]

What I am not over. Actually can't get enough of it. That I am healthy active and hot. Yup at 8 months out I am a normal BMI and a very hot size 4/6. These early days are hard no doubt and I still occasionally I will get diarrhea or Constipation but I did before surgery too. It is less often because I eat healthier. Please stay positive because it is worth it!

@@katieroybal have you tried adding a probiotic? I have a chewable one from Bariatric Advantage. It may help with the diarrhea.

I'm going to try this. I thought a probiotic would make it worse but you're the second to suggest it might help.

I'm over the chronic diarrhea! I've had it since day 5. Had surgery on 8/5. Its so painful. The cramps start right after I eat something (anything.). I can't bare it. When does it get better?!

This isn't normal. Talk to your surgeon.

I am over this pre op diet!!! shakes and bars that are too sweet. The only thing not sweet is the Water. And that seems to be all I can get down without gagging. 3 days down, 11 more to go.

I know that feeling. My kids ate pizza today and I just had serve and watch. But since the surgery I don't see the same. It's more of the memory of how it made me feel. Oh, I'm so sick of Water.

I take two stool softeners a day. and Milk of Magnesia once a week. which has worked out ok up until this week, doesn't seem to be working anymore. (I'm 9 weeks out today).

For the Constipation (I didn't even think about that), is it recommended that you take a stool softener?

Aloe Water works but not pleasant

Unfortunately, broth isn't an option. 3 shakes, 2 bars, 1 black coffee or tea and unlimited Water for 2 weeks. What I would do for a cup of broth right now

I am over this stupid stall. 10 days gone by since I hit Onederland, only to turn around and end up right back at 200 again. I am doing everything my surgeon said to do. I have fibroids and I am seeing my Gyn tomorrow about that. I cannot stand this! It's so frustrating...I don't mind the challenges; they are making me stronger. I do mind the fact that lately this seems like I made the wrong choice to deal with my weight. I never dreamed I'd be stuck at 200 lbs!

[Candygyrl 637]

I'm over the weight PERIOD.

I couldn't handle the shakes for every pre-op meal either. I found them especially sweet and repulsive. My surgeon was fine with broth since it is part of a more restrictive (clear liquid) diet. I just added unflavored Protein powder to get my Protein in. If you truly hate the shakes, you might ask if you can start the clear liquid diet early with added unflavored protein. Just be sure to mention that you are willing to add protein to the broth so they wont say they are concerned about you not getting enough protein.

I'm over being ashamed that i failed the lap band and had to go to the sleeve, I'm over being ashamed that I'm fat and that my body aches and I get tired easily ....

[GeeMarie 8]

I'm over the post op diet (just started pureed) and being constantly worried that something is wrong because I'm not getting full and am still hungry really quickly after my four ounces of blended whatever. I'm over hearing from my friends who've had WLS over the last year, how full they are after two bites of food while I stress out that something didn't work right for me.
