Post-op BM - funny



Recommended Posts

I'm sitting here laughing my head off at your posts! I SO wish I had that problem. I've been banded 5 days now and can't get the gas OUT of my body! It just roams around like it's got nothing better to do.

man Im lucky in this respect-I dont have gas issues thankfully.Id be horrified-lol.

alatina...honey. The time has come in your life to JUST let one rip. It will forever liberate you. Part of having a band means some air is gonna get in there and burps are actually *essential*. I mean, when something feels sort of stuck, being able to burp often breaks it loose and I avoid a PB. Also, gas is normal. No, you don't need to stand in the middle of the living room and let 'er rip, but girl, you GOT TO LET THAT OUT! I'm worried. You see, they fill you up with air to do the surgery and that air HAS TO GET OUT. Otherwise there could be some very painful consequences. (edited to say I just read you were banded back in April...but still.....let the gas out!

Embrace your body. Embrace your bodily functions. It's okay, really!

LOL, I don't think home insurance covers acts of God, Nature or Gastric Instability. Sorry!

What I want to know is -- does the liquid poop stage ever end? Seriously, it's a looooong walk from my office to the bathroom at work, and sometimes I barely make it. Then the blatting as it all comes out is horrific, you know how acoustics are in big tiled bathrooms. I wonder if half the building can hear it.

Really -- someone tell me that once I'm fully switched to solids that the liquid poop stage will end... a little gas I can handle, esp burping, but this?!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
