  1. I waited a month. Now I eagerly drink my tall Americano every morning with cream. I'm Not able to drink the whole thing but those first few sips are lovely.
  2. When its that bad adding fiber will make it worse. Enema until you are going then slowly add in the fiber. My doc said the Miralax is like cement if you are not having movement.
  3. I had a lot of bruising that lasted about two weeks.
  4. I has this problem a lot at first both the nausea and the slime, ugh. I just really had to ease into fluids and the other stages. My doc prescribed a anti nausea med for me that helped a lot as well. I still tend to slime really easily some days and I four months out but it's getting better bit by bit.

  6. At two days I could only wet my mouth, not really swallow and I had to walk around while I did that. That lasted to about day four and then I could only do one tiny sip at a time also only while standing upright. It takes time.

  8. I've lost 42 pounds in a little over three months and will be thrilled to hit 50 at four months. Slow and steady wins the race.

  12. 4700. For everything including: two nights in hospital, three nights at hotel and all meds. This was in Mexico. I had excellent care.
  13. Mine stopped by day five. I had to take home anti nausea meds which worked well.
  14. Sleeved 3/25 down 30 lbs. still struggling with food feeling "stuck" and hurting when I eat. Still feeling tired often. Hoping that things will be better as time goes on.

  16. Wow that is awesome! What are your best tips for those of us just starting out?
  17. When I took it for the first time I had to walk around a bit after.
  18. I take Cymbalta. I cut my dose down before surgery. My surgery was on a Monday and I took it after my last leak test on Wednesday. It was a little uncomfortable but I knew the withdrawal would be worse. I'm almost five weeks out and have been able to take it no problem.
