  1. For me miralax has worked better than MOM. I am like 5 weeks post op and have only gone barely 3 times since surgery so I'm still struggling. I got some fiber gummies, to add to the regime we'll see how that goes.
  2. Thanks for all the input. I got some gummie fibers from Costco. Hopefully that will help me go on my own.
  3. Now I'm stuck going back and forth between 199 and 200....torture!!
  4. I'm 4 weeks post op, where are you at in this journey?
  5. A little, nothing worth writing home about. Crap. I'm trying to get my fluids up to see if that helps.
  6. Thanks for the support ladies!
  7. It's my turn today!!! So excited to be in the 100's again!! Haven't been here since high school. Feels amazing! Even when I had the LapBand I didn't make it here. **HAPPY DANCE**
  8. I used miralax last night and haven't gone yet. Is it safe to take another dose now? I need to get things moving before work on Monday. I see people all day and can't just run to the bathroom mid conversation lol!
  9. Do we ever get back to normal? I'm 4 weeks out and still not regular. I've only gone 1 time since surgery.
  10. I just had my sleeve done at Madigan. How did you feel about your experience at Madigan?
  11. So, this is how I've been spending my past Saturdays drinking Miralax hoping to have some relief soon. Is there anyone else who gets to share this experience with me?
  12. Yup! I will have to log in on my computer. Thanks for the information!
  13. I can't believe you are going through all of this. I'll be thinking about you.
  14. Add me katiebrooks03
  15. Sweet, let me know if you hear anything please.
  16. I'd like the military spouses one. Hopefully we get some guidance on this.
  17. How do you get the password to enter the specific group message boards?
  18. Ahahahahahaha!!! That's awesome man!
  19. I would love to see some research on this as well. Some how I don't think it will be for some time. But would be pleasantly surprised if there is some current research.
  20. I'm kind of loosing slow too. We were sleeved on the same day. Have you found anything to help you loose faster?
  21. We were sleeved on the same day, how are you doing with the process?
  22. I'm in Puyallup. I am about 2 1/2 weeks post op. Where are you at in the process?
  23. I found out something interesting today when I went to see my PCP. She said that there isn't any consistencies of how any meds are absorbed with the sleeve. Because some meds are designed to be absorbed slowly or quickly. Has anyone else heard this? How do you take your meds? On an empty stomach, or with food?
