Believe it when they say to walk. It felt like I was having a heart attack from the gas. It does pass when you walk a lot.

Thank you

You look great.

62 lbs down and counting. Wohoooooo. I am feeling great just can not wait until I can take my Omega 3's again.

Fleet is what my Dr. recommended in this type of situation' date=' but definitely call yours ASAP. 14 days is too long.[/quote']

Thank you I will definitely do so.

Well good luck and remember the pic I see is awesome and. Will only get better stay strong. Again u look hot no disrespect meant. Do it girl keep the path

Thank you. Smile

See my posts under tonyb and yes I will post pics. It's amazing a 54 waist and a 5 xl shirt to a 36w n a large shirt. Wow just like most on here hated the camera. Not now. Stay tuned

Hey Tony, thank but I have only lost 30lbs so far. I hope my before and after pics can be like your some day. I had my surgery 5/20/2013.

Are you taking any prescription pain meds still? That was the culprit for me. Constipation after surgery happend to me also. A little miralax for a few days and by day 3 you should have a bowel movement.You are also not eating alot of foods yet. It will be a little while before your bowels function normally again but they will. Wait till you get to the "sharts" stage! I literally could not tell if I needed to pass gas or number 2 for a week or so. Take it in stride. As you start to drop the weight you feel look and feel fabulous.

No I stop taking the pain meds. But I have not been doing the miralax for 3 days straight. I will try it that way.

Maybe try increasing your liquids. How post op are you?

I had my surgery May 20th 2013

That is amazing

Muscle Milk has too much sugar in it. Have you tried other brands of Protein shakes?

Yes and thy will it stay down.

Is there any suggestions on what to do if you can not do number 2. I have tried Miralax and I still have not gone. I have not gone in 14 days. I finally can get something's down finally. Help!!!!!

I tried the muscle milk and my body says nopey nope. I am able to keep the potato Soup, Jello and the broths down which is puréed. I used ginger powder to keep the shake in but, but it was not good. I am calling my doctor tomorrow, because I am so frustrated.

I have lupus' date='FIBROMYALGIA, Chron' s, I have been a diabetic for 23 years, I have gastroperisis (it is where your stomach Does not digest food anymore) neuropathy, and a super pubic catheter. (Diabetieshas left my bladder useless.) I weigh 186 and am five foot eight. I am having this surgery due to the gastroperisis. I don't need my stomach anymore. Dr said I might not loose much weight because I am not far off my target weight loss.[/quote']

I wish you luck.

1/21/13 started at 299 now I'm 209 5'8 35 more pounds to make to goal

That is amazing you look great.

My surgery is in a few days and I need some inspiration so I can stop freaking out. Share your before and after pictures or stories:)

Go in with the mind set that this is for you and to make you better. The easy thing to do is to have the surgery. It is the healing part that takes time and family support. Good luck.

I drank ginger tea (as best I could) during immediate recovery and it did help. When I was cleared for greek yogurt but couldn't have the kind with fruit in it yet (too chunky)' date=' I would mix in splenda and powdered ginger, and it was yummy![/quote']

Thank you I am going to try the ginger and Splenda

I'm hoping to be scheduled for the end of may. I've been on a 3 month medically supervised weight loss. I lost 5lbs this month but my dr wants 15 more before surgery.

Any ideas on how to loose so much so fast?

Total lean shake. I bought them at GNC
