I use Smooth Move if it's been at least three days since my last BM. I am 6 months post op. I use it maybe once every three or four weeks. I make a cup just prior to going to bed. I have always had relief within an hour of waking. No cramps and I've never had it not work. But you will need to be able to repeatedly get to a bathroom quickly for a few hours. Good luck!

switched up and rode 16 miles today on bike instead of running....total miles 31

15 miles..yay....dog is sitting begging me to take off the football jersey....I really need to take a picture of myself to post but I'm still in "avoid all cameras" mind set of hating all pictures.

Down 69lbs and ran a 5K this morning! I feel great but wow...the losing has certainly slowed. How about the rest of you? losing a lot of hair but it doesn't seem to be noticeable yet. What is everyone eating at this point?

I'm kind of late to this party...but I'm in. I don't know if I can hit the 100..but so far this week my three runs have been 3.5, 3.5 and 4=11 I have a 5K tomorrow. I'm 5 months out of surgery and started running two months ago. Used the C25K to get started. I love this challenge, thank you!

I just returned from a cruise....I was 8weeks post op...and it was great. There are food options for you(eggs, Soups, fish) ...and I brought some Protein Shakes and bars with me just in case. I only ended up eating one. I had no problems at all. My caution to your wouldn't be the food....but that I wouldn't have physically felt up to it at three weeks. It seems that others recovered physically way faster than me though

I was sleeved April 3 and as of my follow up appt .yesterday, I am also down 18pounds. That includes the five day prediet though. I am very happy seeing it.

My program is full liquid for two full weeks, then pureed stage for two more weeks. I'm day nine post op...so I'm getting close to puree

I was sleeved on April 3 and leaving for a cruise on June 1. I will be on regular foods by then but am taking Protein Shakes (with a note that my doctor is writing) to make sure I am still meeting my Protein needs. And the gym on the boat is great. It is a whole new mind set to vacation not being completely about the eating/drinking. Soooo excited.

I did have the laproscopic...there's just one area on the upper right that's giving discomfort now. I know it's getting better each day. I'm meeting the minimum requirements on liquid/protein. I feel like the actual internal stomach workings are doing well. My belly noise and spasms have really slowed down over the last two days. I'm on full liquid for another 7 days. I'm very excited to get out and really start walking.

I was done on the 3rd also. How are you all making out getting your Protein in? I'm getting there. How is your pain at this point? (6 days out) My insicion is good until I turn or stretch the wrong way..then...yowza. My first follow upDr. Appt is on Thursday.
