Geri Marie 235 Posted December 5, 2017 Hey all! I had my surgery November 15th. I started off at 254 before liquid pre op. To date I am 226. I am very happy I’m not dropping it too fast. I havent seen the 220’s in three years so I’m stoked. I tried to have a little smoked Gouda yesterday. No no no. My tummy did NOT like that. Nor does it like anything sweet. I am learning that I need to just stick to the plan. Lol. I am testing the waters I guess? And its just not happening. So my diet consists of cottage cheese, refried Beans, yogurt, and Protein Shakes. I am not having any issues getting my Water down. I am however very constipated. I mean BAD. Ive tried to add Miralax to my water, but its almost like I can tell its there and its hard to drink it. Any suggestions? Anywho just wanted to update everyone. Hope I’m not the only one...... 3 sleevedshereen, ProudGrammy and GlennaMary reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was sleeved the week after you! 22nd. I was 270 before surgery and now 251. Totally excited! BP coming down drastically, walking seems easier, clothes fit way differently. I haven’t had anything really ‘come back up’ after eating it, just some full sensations. I too am badly constipated. Doc gave me Rex for Docusate sodium, but not working great. All the best! 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redhead_che 824 Posted December 6, 2017 I put miralax in Powerade zero (blue one) and it worked. Couldn’t taste it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaleCruse 756 Posted December 6, 2017 Remember that the way you're eating is based on what you can tolerate now. Later it will change. And change again. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JavaKnut 104 Posted December 6, 2017 Have more of the Fiber items like Beans that will help some. Remember, your intake is much lower than before. If you were a daily pooper, you now may be every other day just due to not having a large volume of significant intake. My doc recommended milk of magnesia as the last resort for being clogged up. The biggest caution was to not let yourself get dehydrated if you use that stuff. Have you tried stool softners? That was their recommendation to our class if you weren't really making progress on your own. 1 Geri Marie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
