MOM milk of magnesium works very well good old stand by.

good for you glad to see you back...you can do this

wow you did a wonderful job I am so happy for you...you give us all encourgment to keep going...thanks for catching us up.

wow that is a lot in a month wish I knew what the difference is. Oh well, everyone is differant

I hope they know that weight loss will lower the numbers? I no longer take meds thanks to the band and 70 lbs weight loss. Good luck here hope it all works out

it should just lay on top if you ate enough but it is important to eat so you should have something a protient drink might be good right now. One meal change is not going to change things weight wise.

its just swollen it will go down and as you loss weight it will move lower also.

fills for me is $150 but the flouscope is $250 and if the doctor does it its another $350 so don't vomit ever and keep drinking our water. I didn't know my insurance only cover 3 mos post op and now have a $2,000 bill to pay off

drinking something often helps me the longer you stay stuck the more risk you take for vomiting and colapising your band. So for the long run drink something

Well you sure cant talk to them they have not been there so can not relate. You might tell them if they loved you they would help by not buying the junk food and bring it home and by going for walks and to the gym with you and make it fun. Let them know they aren't helping you do it yourself so you have to go elsewhere for help. Get some fills before you go in for more surgery.

the gas is the worst part of this whole thing so keep walking and get it moving this is why I recommend you take a stool softner/laxative to get it all moving and out. Keep sipping or popcicles and your heating pad. you don't want to get dehydrated to add to everything else.

great job so glad for you

You will think more of yourself as you loss you weight and you can loss 200+ lbs today by telling him to get lost. Please don't spend any more of you heart on this abusive guy he will get worst not better and he will always promise he will stop abusers are famous for doing that...we are here for you and so is you Mom so you don't need him and he sure doesn't need you and he is telling you that every day.

so happy for you that is great work amazing..

wow that is so great this will make you week...enjoy

ask about taking a stool softner now and or laxative to get that gas/air moving out quicly wish I had would have made life easier.

fabulous what a great way to start your week.

call your doctor first thing but also add potassium and magnesium which helps with leg cramp (Charlie horses) but its a must to call your doctor first.

This is a great time to teach them to eat right and not get into the same place. Get them involved in the shopping, preparing and cooking. Go to thrift stores for magizes and make an art project for all of you by cutting out pictures of good food then hand them all over the house. Eatting right is a family event work together you can do this

Think most of us do its a common question milk of magnisum gets it moving nicly Rite aid has a stool softner/laxative that I take daily works great...

yes that does sound odd...call them and the hospital and check it all out maybe they are just slow at getting it done

ask doctor about stool softener wish I had started it a day or so b4 the surgery it gets the gas moving out and you sure don't feel like pushing after they move things around in there. You'll do great see you on the other side.

I think you should look at the positive you did make changes you ate less and you where aware of what you were doing you didn't do that before. This is a process mark down the changes you notice it give your brain a charge to keep going. You did great and should be proud as the fills come you will notice more and learn more..like ophra says "when you know better you do better" that goes for us all. Great Job

This is very normal for get on something that works for you I use milk of magniusm which works very well but now (8 mos out) I take a stool softener/laxative daily.

You need to get a place of your own and only have supportive people around you. I knew he is having trouble with money but he can rent out the part of the house to someone else it doesn't have to be you. There comes in your life when you refuse to take any abuse from anyone..you have to be brave but parents are just people they get no special rights to abuse you any more...I know I have been there and even went back for more I don't now when my mom crosses the line I walk out there are boundries now MINE please set some for yourself you are so worth it...and you Dad is and ASS and your brothers might just follow him so watch out.
