For-me-and-only-me

That is something that majority of us have had a problem with. When I went to my post op my doctor told me it was ok to take milk of magnesia. I did and I was fine. I have some friends that are 18 months or more sleepers and they say sometimes they have to still take a dose. Hope this helps. Also you can search for threads that are taking about constipation and see what comes up. Congrats!

Ok so soft eggs/whites/beaters don't agree with me so I am going to try a soft boiled egg. Any suggestions. I have notice that chicken fish or egg leave a very full almost stuffed feeling after only two very small fork/spoon. I use baby utensils. Everything else goes down fine.

Well mine wasn't going back to work it was going back to church. Even though I had only missed one Sunday you could still tell tw difference. Church folks can be just as bad as coworkers. I don't lie. I am eating less exercising more watching what I eat( no sugar low carbs high protein etc) it is your choice how you handle the situation. Also I had someone come up to me and say I never knew you had such pretty hair you lol so different. Lol

Glad I found this because I thought I was just going crazy when I put my running shows on and they were make a flip flap noise because they had to much space in them. And my wedding set it is n the jewelry box because it doesn't fit on any finger including my thumbs. Don't want to loose it so I wait until I reach goal and then get bit sized.

Sorry to hear that. How far out are you from your surgery date that hour incisions are infected.

I can schedule a visit anytime it's needed with my insurance. The nut, bariatric surgeon, pcp etc.

Thanks for the tip mom because I too am getting so tired of water and to think pre surgery I had no problem drinking water and liked it.

I have just spent the last 50mins ready the post for the last two days and to say the least I have been and still going through everything that has been posted. The only thing is the financial. I am praying for everyone o that note because we all need that help but I am trusting I The Lord to continue to provide for me. Now I am almost four weeks post op sleeved 9/19. I am down pre op 204 day of surgery 196 today 181.4. I am going up and down from last week. I am getting under 500 cal per day if j don't take my shakes. Chicken is a no no now. No hair fallout. Doing new things with the powders now. I too Amy in a stall n think but I don't see the nut until 10/31. When did you all start doing more strenuous exercises. I only walk now bout 3.5 miles a day except Sunday. I have resistance bands and sculpting bodies DVD but not sure if insides have healed enough tak so more. Ok I will stop rambling because I have so much but I will stop here. I must say that I get more help and support here than j so at my support group. Oh yeah and I am still having problems with constipation. Taking MOM at least once a week.

I can have eggs butbi don't like the taste of whites or beaters and I have tried them with salsa cheese and other stuff but they all leave a nausea feeling. Don't want it. And I used to love omelette

Thanks for the response I am going to try that now because it is breakfast time and I have all that. Any more keep them coming.

I am so tired of oatmeal but its the only thing that has been agreeing with me for breakfast. I also mix a scoop of my protein powder in it because I am tired if the shake but only three weeks out and still need it for protein. Can anyone advise on breakfast food that I can add shake to. Still in the soft/purée stage.

I wonder if I am not eating the right things. I am on purée mushy foods. I am reading how people are eating BBQ deli meat etc. I am eating cottage cheese protein shakes soups maybe oatmeal. I am getting in about 300/400 cal a day I get my fluids and walk everyday bout 3-4 miles per day. I was having a problem with constipation but not now. I don't weigh myself. I was sleeved kn 19th September. I am hungry(I think ) how are you guys coking this food you are eating during the purée. Soft mushy stage. Almost to my more solid food stage and a little worried about moving forward.

I had my post op appointment today. All is well. I did ask about the full feeling. I was told that it takes about six weeks for the new stomach to get adjusted. All labs are good, weight lost is good. Began this journey at 204lbs day of surgery 196lbs today 182.4 and I was sleeved on the 19th. Only downside to my visit is I have h pylori Again sink have to so a ten week regimen again. I love Kaiser and Dr. Um.

I do take twice a day am and pm but I am thinking that this happened because of the introduction of the chicken not really sure butbitbis feel a lol better now. Still no bm yet but I'm at my follow up so we will see.

Ok so I am up right now because I just had a horrible bout with gerd. It woke me up. I take the Prilosec daily but yesterday I did add soft foods such as egg. For dinner I had a few bites if steamed shredded chicken and one broccoli spear. Also have not had a bm snide Sunday and I take a stool softener everyday.... This is really painful and my stomach is just making noises.

I think it's just the preference of the hospital because its the food program for all their bariatric patients. Kaiser

I though about eating something since I only have two more days to go but I just get to thinking that they have rules for a reason. If my dinner is not filling I will break down and maybe do an egg white.

Ok I am 13 days post op and I am hungry. I have been on full liquids a little over a week. I am not due to start soft foods until Thursday. I don't know if I can make it till Thursday. I get my protein from two shakes. I do water sf popsicles sf jello and condensed soup. Please advise help!!!!

And did I mention is clear and cute and goes with and bathroom decor:)

I bought my scale from CBS for 9.99. It's digital gives the ounces also weight limit up to 400lbs. Since I have bought it it has been just as when I go to the doctor.

I am on mfp also add me forandonlyme

I am on mfp also add me forandonlyme

Congrats on your wl. I was sleeved 9/19 and I too have people making comments such as that. I was not believing until a friend of mine that is almost two years postop said its true they do see a difference I just don't. She suggested I do a photo diary. Take a me pic every week. Yes it is normal to not being able to get in all they say you should. Just from my own experience get you 64ox of fluid and as much protein as you can. Good luck and much continued success.
