That's great. Congrats and keep up the good work.

I am 6 months out almost. I have had constipation issues bad. I went 2 months without a bowel movement. Hopefully you find out soon. Both are aggravating

Okay. I know this is tmi but I am 3 months out of surgery. I have been so constipated for the past week. I am drinking 8 tbsp of milk of magnesia. Nothing is helping. What can I do??

I have not used the bathroom in almost 2 weeks. It is very uncomfortable. If I take anything I Hurt like no other. This is killing me. I can't hardly exercise or anything.

Okay. It has been a little over a week since I used the bathroom. I got senakot I am trying tonight. I am on so much discomfort.

Ok guys. I am having the same problem an nothing is helping. This is so frustrating all I do is lay in bed and cry because I hurt so bad!!

I did not come home with anything attached. I did have a drain tube and cathater. The cath was taken out the morning I went home because I had to use the bathroom before leaving. And the drain tube came out right before I came home

Congrats!!

Good luck. This is a great place for support.

I had surgery on May 2,2012. I am 21 years old. My starting weight was 278. I was unable to carry a child because of my weight. I was unable to run and play with my niece and nephew. I couldn't even walk upstairs without being out breath. I am now 220. I have lost 58 lbs in 3 months. I have never regretted it. I feel like a new person. Energy wise. I can't tell a big difference in appearance but I am hard on myself. It is the best thing I had ever done. I am glad I mentioned it to my doctor. I have tried everything nothing would work. Good luck

Great job. You should be proud. If you can do it pre op you will be good post op.

Glad your doing good. My mouth stayed dry for 2 days and the first 18 hours I could have nothing but ice chips it killed me. Welcome to the losers bench. Hope you do great.

Congrats. I'll pray for you! Let us know how you are when you are able. Good luck on your new life!!

I love your stories. I would love to read more. They are an inspiration to me. I am 3 months out and 53 lbs down and love hearing stories about people's experience and makes me look forward

When I had my surgery my surgeon recommended 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. Then build up. I am 2 months out and walk on a treadmill for 30 min a day. Elliptical at least 10 min a day. (it kills my legs) and 3 times a week I walk outside a mile to a mile and a half

The bottom one is 3 months post op sorry

Me Christmas 2011

My first month I lost 23lbs. I am 5'1" and I started at 278. I am 3 months out and have lost 53 lbs

When I had purée I craved sweets bad. I had 1 tsp of peanut butter and it helped. But I limited it to 1 tsp a day of that. I am now 4 months out and not craving as bad. Hope it helps!!

I would call my insurance and see what the deal is. Mine had to be approved before they would even set a date. Hopefully it will be and if so. Good luck and congrats on your new life.

Me christmas 2011 Me 3 months post op and down 53 lbs!!

You look great!! Keep it up!

I do not know if it is dumping but you can having dumping syndrome with vomit. I had it with hot dogs pasta sauce and Salisbury steak only I started feeling weak I got really hot and I turned pale. I laid down for about 15 min and was fine. I have never tried them since.

I am 3 months out and I still take flintstone chewable.

Ok. I finally used the bathroom. I feel like a child with a new toy. I have been so misreble I couldn't eat or get outta bed. I took milk of magnesia. Stool softened. The dr called me in some lactouse and I used an enema. It finally happened!!!
