No it was only the first two days for me. It helped me burp which also helped with the gas

Yes i had them the first two days lol. I wish you a speedy recovery.

God is an awesome God and prayer works. I am so happy you are feeling better and will continue to keep you in my prayers.

No I just had not moved my bowels in like 5 days. But was not taking anything nor did I have the urge to go.

Thank you everyone. So am I. Thursday is my second check up. the first week 10 days was 35 pounds down and since then i am only down by another 5 which I am not mad about 40 pounds is great to me in a months time. I may hit a stall like a lot of people do. I am prepared for it.

it was a Blockage of poop. (embarrassing) and when I bent over It moved lol. and they said the Light headedness and nausea was just coincidental. But I feel ok thank you guys. I was worried I popped the incisions. Breathing easier

I was cleaning and i picked up something and went to put it on the floor. As i sat it down i heard popping noises from my stomach. immediately following i had the craziest urge to use the bathroom. and omg it was the most horrible thing i smelled before. now i am light headed and nauseous. Should i be worried. I called the doc and i am waiting for a call back. Has this happened to anyone before.

thats great news. keep up the good work. I go thursday for my second check up. so far 40 pouns down yayyy and maybe now I can start solid foods

click on a ticker from someones post it will take you to another page create your own ticker copy the url and then paste it when you post. thats the only way i know how to do it

I was sleeved on 01-30-2012. It took me along time to commit to this. Unlike some I am 34 married no children. I had four failed pregnancies. High blood pressure, diabetes, a half functioning heart and a list of other issues. I tried everything. They would work in the beginning and then they would stop working. I realized that my life was important to me and if I ever wanted to have children I needed to have a life altering change. This was my last result and I do not regret it. It is very hard and I was a little mad at myself after the surgery. But I do not regret my decision and I would say Research research and research. Everyone recovers and loses differetly but having your own knowledge and seeing different people experiences helps alot. I did a lot of research, even down to watching the videos on how the procedure is done. hopes this helps

How about sugar free popsicles. I find the breyers sugar free popsicles to be very good. Hope this helps a little

Thank you guys . I was shocked at those numbers, my Doc said it may slow up a bit due to a fast lost in 10 days. I do not watch the scale, that would drive me nuts. But for my health I am more excited about that more than anything else. I don't go back for two weeks, but I start my puree on Monday I am way nervous about that. I am afraid my blood sugar levels will rise. Wish me luck

I had my first follow up appointment. I am down 35 pounds 8 being pre op weight loss. I feel good still a little sore. I don't start my Puree till Monday but I don't mind not hungry anyways lol. Yayyyy. My presure is down to normal and my diabtetes is down into the normal range. I am so happy about that. <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w5mOOfs/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w5mOOfs/weight.png"></a>

I find that when taking meds the brewers fruit bars help. Sugar Free of course. I hope you feel better soon.

Yes finally the gas has subsided. I have been walking and walking and walking. I am still tender but i feel alot better. Being that I am diabetic I get nervous when I do not eat, but my sugar has been normal. So the protein shakes was replaced with the gluceria shakes and I am surprised I am able to tolerate it. But it helps keeps your blood sugar level. Although I do feel week if I walk a long periods of time, I am starting to like my sleeve.

Yes I asked my surgeon wth did I do. I will continue to walk and take my medicine. I am a big baby. I hate pain. Can't wait for this gas to come out n one way or the other thank you guys

Finally I am sleeved but I am not liking it so far. my stomach is so filled with gas that it is unberable. I am able to keep down liquids but I am starting to question my judgementon this. Hopefully I will feel better soon

Thanks to all. I also pray for a good surgery and a great recovery. My surgery is being held at St lukes in New York. I recommended a friend. she had hers done on Dec 12 and is down almost 50 pounds and she looks great. Her recovery was awesome. Although I know everyone is different i wish for the same results.

Congrats my surgery is tomorrow. I am too excited I had a couple of set baks. But now it is finally here.

thank you. lol can someone please explain how i can add my ticker to my profile

So I go for surgery tomorrow, everyone please keep me in your prayers. I managed to survive the pre op diet 3 times lol and I can't wait to start my new journey. I am starving but I can't wait to go praying I will not wake hungry. Anyway just wanted to let you know and i will keep everyone posted as soon as I can.

Thanks Surgery was pushed back 5 days so it is no longer the 25 but the 30 of this month. I hope this is the lasssst set back lol
