  1. Has anyone discussed this with their surgeon as to why it is so bad? I like very spicy and salty food, and I find it very difficult not to take a couple small sips of Water after eating. I swish it around in my mouth, to take out the taste, two sips at most. I have never had dumping.

    Does anyone else feel like they need to do this? And what if your food is a liquid like Soup? Doesn't that count as eating and drinking?

    Has anyone been told eating and drinking at the same time will stretch out ones stomach?

    I'm worried but I can't seem to stop.

    Exactly how long before and after eating am I supposed to wait??

    Also I just can't stop eating fast!!!! It's so hard. Eating fast, lightning fast, is such a huge habit for me. After I had kids it only got worse. I forget or I try and slow down and it's so hard. I find eating super boring and tedious and sometimes I just want to get it over. Sometimes the food tastes so darn good I just have to keep eating it!!! Anyone else have any advice for me?

    drinking and eating together not good because fluids wash away nutrients your body needs to feed from thats why 45 min waiting period should occur


  2. Ok so I had my surgery on Jan 7 and still have not pooped!!! I have taken Miralax the last 4 days, and it am getting so nervous for when it does come ( if it ever does) I am getting 90 gr of Protein, 64oz of Water, and all my Vitamins. The surgery was a breeze but I developed a Large hematoma that is very painful so I am still taking pain meds. What do I do???? I am normally an every day kinda girl. Is this normal, anyone have any advice?

    take 4tbsp of Milk of magnesium followed by 20oz of water & relief will come within 24 hrs pain free & no diahrea effect.

  5. I had my breast reduction on Monday and I am massively uncomfortable. But more worrisome than the pain is that I have been running a fever and one of my breasts is more swollen than the other. The surgeon was worried about a possible hematoma and decided to keep me for observation for a couple of extra days. The only good thing about that is that someone else has to deal with my drains. I'm afraid that when I strip the lines, it looks different from when the professionals do it.

    If you ever have an extended stay in a hospital, be prepared to have to fight for healthy, low carb food. Even though I was on their "controlled carb" plan, they served me Pasta and angel food cake in one meal. Breakfast was quiche that was obviously made with flour in the filling.

    My husband brought me my ipad today so I can finally catch up with my "peeps" on BariatricPal. I was having withdrawal symptoms!

    whats your recovery time on reduction. .
