For me it's a dehydration thing cause you go all night without drinking so I make sure I drink a cup of pedialyte before bed and when I wake up.

I was just wondering how hard it really is for lettuce to be digested. I'm craving a salad so bad!!!

I don't have any word of encouragement because I'm in the same boat as you I'm 4 weeks out and some days I'm good others I cry and wonder why I did this to myself and I just want to go back to the "old" me. But if you ever need to comisserate you can always message me.

Emergen-c!

Turns out mine is caused from dehydration so we are going to try to get it under control so I don't end up in the hospital

My Dr called and she wants me to drink some pedialyte, do a stool culture and see her at 9am tomorrow

I'm experiencing this right now! I called my Dr and just waiting to hear back now. Hope we both feel better soon

No not at all I sip and take nibbles

I am 3 weeks post-op and I can't eat or drink without feeling like I'm going to throw up. Its been unusually hot where I live could that be the reason?

Here is a comparison photo of me at week 2 and week 3 what do you think? [ATTACH]17705[/ATTACH]

Thanks everyone you made me feel better I'm gonna take it easy till I'm ready.

I am 2.5 weeks post-op and feeling better compared to the last 2 weeks. I'm starting to feel guilty that I'm not doing more around the house my kitchen is a disaster my husband works long hours and then he comes home and takes care of my daughter and I. Am I not getting in enough protein? Or is my body still recovering from major surgery?

I really needed to read these I was feeling like "why did I have this stupid surgery, it's not working for me!" Thanks for posting!

I use these they have chewable and a powder you can put into your Water and specifically for wls patients! http://www.celebratevitamins.com/

I called my Dr and she said as long as I keep it clean and dry I should be OK. Thanks!

One of my 6 incisions has opened up I'm freaking out a little! Has this happened to anyone else?

I am counting the days till I can have some refried beans! I'm even dreaming of them lol enjoy!!!

My incisions were super glued I guess they are still too tender

I am 7 days post-op I've tried to wear a sports bra but it hurt too much! When were you able to wear a bra again?

Yesterday started the ever so fun diarrhea after doing some searching on the forums I've found this is pretty normal. What I haven't heard is it keeping someone awake all night I can't find a comfortable position cause my abdomen will get tight and then feel like I'm being stabbed until I get up and sit on the toilet. I'm walking all the time and I've taken GasX strips but I don't know what else I can do I'm about to lose my mind from the exhaustion.

Thanks I wasn't trying to ween just yet I just forgot
