Yes I used Milk of Magnesia also around 9 days after surgery because being on a liquid diet you don't produce much in your own poop factory if you know what I mean lol . ... So I hadn't gone for a while and didn't want it to get excessive. I took 2tbsps and after a while HELLOOO Nelly! I didn't have any cramps but there was some "urgency" in the message. Good Luck!

Hello, I am 11 days post op and have the same tightness in my chest/uppper stomach area when I swallow. It sort of feels like something is stuck there. I am not sure if you are describing the same feeling or not but from what I have been told it is "normal" I am going to follow up with the doc again tomorrow to make sure it should still be there. I have a feeling it is just trapped gas. If he has anything to say otherwise I will let you know. Also, I think you are doing pretty darn good with the liquids! I think you are doing better than I was 5 days out so GOOD FOR YOU!

Jenna, I got chills when I was reading your post. For a second there I forgot that I was reading about your life and thought it was words about mine. I have had such a similar story it is astounding. I know exactly what you mean when you said you get all "beautified" to go out and then still feel uncomfortable in your own skin. I gave up going out to bars or clubs with my friends for that reason. I lost the joy in it and I LOVE to dance. It is one of my favorite things. I love to sing and Karaoke is my fav but I always feel self concious doing it because I worry that people look at me the wrong way. Thanks for sharing!

I long ago started discreetly asking the flight attendant for the 'seatbelt extension' as I boarded the plane. I can't wait until I don't need it any more!

<same thing with the seat belt extention and there is no worse feeling then when some who is sitting next to you is trying to get a different seat on a booked flight... Then i was able to fit without one. There is no greater relief then not having to worry about where you sit and if u can sit there.

Good luck! I can't wait to be be called beautiful with no buts...

Good luck on your journey! I too have had the "speeches" most of my adult life. I had a revision of the band to the sleeve and do not regret a second of it. I am feeling so good and know that in time I will be off all my meds. Hang in there may will be here before you know it. I'm happy for you!

good luck!! I have been overweight my whole life topping the scale at 390 lbs. I am just about a month out and I have to say it is the BEST thing i have ever done for myself!!
