Not to be too forward, but what have your bathroom habits been lately?

Constipation is a common side effect of WLS.

Still have a Constipation problem after so many months!! I need to go back to my nutritionist because I still don't think I eat enough or eat enough of the 'right' things.

I have had that problem for ages...before and after my sleeve. I take Colase every day and every 2-3 weeks have to resort to a Dulcolax. I don't think any amount of "the right things" will help me. I just have a sluggish bowel that matched my sluggish metabolism. Thank God for this surgery. I will put up with an occasional pharmaceutical intervention to look and feel this way. 60 lbs. down, 30 to go. Hallelujah!!!!

But saying that (about constipation) I have found that if I have ice cream I have to be VERY close to the toilet!! Needless to say I have stayed away from ice cream!!

My date is 10/5. About how many calories do you all costume daily, and Protein?

I have PCOS hormones are crazy lately but I'm between 800- lately 1100 kcal daily. Protein ranges from 48-90. And I swear fat has left me in all places but my gut! I'm in a 12 pant. And L men's T, yes I've stole all hubbies T shirts!

Hi. Sleeved on 10/28. Down 60 lbs as of today. My stomach can tolerate everything. Nothing really bothers it and some days can eat quite a bit. Which makes me nervous for the future. I am just trying hard lately to be more focused on what I am eating and stick with Protein as much as possible.


My ht/wt are the same...stats are to except I've lost 53#. Do you have PCOS by chance, you mentioned hormones.

This week has been a struggle. The last two days I have gained 2.5 lbs and I don't know why. I have kept my calories below 1,000 and have been getting my Protein in etc etc. has this happened to anyone? I mean my weight sometimes fluctuates a pound here and there but never consistently going up. Hopefully this is just temporary. I decided I am going to go Protein  shakes only today and tomorrow to see if that will help push my body into the right direction. Just frustrated.

I fluctuate between 3-4lbs for a month at a time and then suddenly when I'm not looking at the scale it's gone, plus a pound! Then the same vicious cycle begins!

I do have PCOS. The hormone doctor that I have been working with has helped make a lot of difference in my energy levels. I have recently been at a stall but hopefully it will break soon.

Some days I can get up to 1200 calories but most days I am at 800-1000 same as you and about the same Protein in take.

I really need to focus on Water consumption and my exercise consistency. I work many many many hours and barely have time for anything else but I might try some at home workouts just to get a routine started. Something is better than nothing right?

Are you noticing loose skin since your weight loss?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
