I told my husband we should watch that. He is diabetic and having a hard time getting his sugar under control. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery dec 2012, i gained almost 40 pounds back from not eating right and not excercising. The good thing is though, its a tool, if you use your tool, you can lose. I am happy to say that i have lost that weight and continuing on a downward spiral...thank goodness. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I am 3 1/2 years post op and went to have gallbladder removed and bloodwork showed anemia. 7.6 was my hemoglobin. I too feel horrible. No energy. Starting on Iron tablets hoping that will help. I am also scheduled for endoscopy and colonoscopy just to make sure its not from blood loss, but i am sure it has to do with the sleeve. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I had the same problem post op and the surgeon told me it was normal not to go after surgery. So 3 weeks out I had gone maybe twice and that was always with milk of magnesia. Last Sunday I ended up in the ER I had an obstruction. Still battling "potty issues". I take 3 stool softeners a day and nothing. I have an appointment this week with my surgeon, something has got to give, I feel miserable. Hope things get better for you.

I ended up in ER because of this problem. I have been taking stool softener a but guess my water intake wasn't enough. Most embarrassing and painful experience in my life. Still "trying" to get it all cleared out. Heard Miralax is good to take????

Day 11 here post op and having bad day too. I went back to work last week and I really think I have pushed myself far to much. I have no energy. I just want to sleep. Hopefully this is just a phase we go through. Best of luck to you.

I was just telling my husband today I said "Look my stomach is almost smaller than my boobs" he then had to demonstrate that his stomach is way bigger than his chest...lol.

14 lbs here since surgery 36 total

I was sleeved on dec 26 and have a lot mire energy most days. I still have moments where I feel sluggish but for the most part I feel good. Before surgery I had absolutely no energy.

You look great! Good job!!!

I am beginning my week of full liquids. I am having a time getting enough water to keep from getting dehydrated even though I feel like I am drinking all day. My question is, since I can have soup, how much can you eat? Being that it is strained, is there a limit we should eat at a time? The soup goes down a lot better than just plain water but I don't want to eat too much and stretch my sleeve. Of course I don't think I am eating more than 1/2 a cup at a time. Thanks for any input.

Oh yes I spent my entire lunch at work one day crying. My husband thinks I am the meanest person on earth right now. I e minute I am fine next I am angry or crying. I am 6 days post op. I think my think is that Christmas was liquids and New Years is liquids and I love both of those days

No protein here. I tried the unjury chicken broth but I just couldn't handle the taste. I have one more day till full liquids and hope to be able to drink the Protein Drinks at that time.
