I talked to nurse today she told me to try milk of magnesia and if that doesn't work don't be to worried just means my body is using everything. If I get uncomfortable then be more aggressive, bit I don't feel like I have to go, so I guess that's good!

Wish I could lol! Not once sine 6/5.

I had my surgery June 5 and I have not had any type of bowel movement, loose or solid, should I be concerned?

Well keep on mind they may have weighed more than you, the more to come off the faster. I started 309, haven't weighed myself, don't won't to. I feel no change, just very bloated and hurting, walk in evening for about half mile that seems to do me in! I am worried that I may be becoming dehydrated!! Can't get much in

I am starting to wonder to! I had surgery on the 5 came home on the morning of 7. Was feeling pretty good about it all then, Friday came. Pain pain pain!! Meds don't seem to work, wondering what I did!!!!

I had my rny on the 5. I am not hungry but very bloated and fill full all the time, don't want to eat but I make myself drink the carnations and then I really feel like shit! Don't know what to think! Sorry ur hungry maybe more protien.

Just turned 35 last week and have my date of June 5th!!! Best present in the world!!! I am a single mother of a beautiful 11 yr old!! Want to do this for her mostly but for me too, don't want to be "the fat mom"!!! I am 5'7.5" 309 lbs. at last app. Just started the low carb diet, Dr. did not required for me to do any diet before the surgery but I don't want any complications so doing everything I can for myself. I am unusually very calm not too nervous about the surgery!! I'm sure the weekend before I will be, I hope!!

I am home and very sore, a rash and slight temp, but other than I feel great!!!!

Thank you for the advise I might call doc about the rashes I have on my sides

I am home from hospital surgery was June 5. I'm very sore like someone kicked me right in the sternum. I also have noticed a rash and have a slight temp100.3 should I be concerned

Me too but they gave it to me through the IV. I think it's a no no because on pills can cause ulcers

Well Im out of surgery 11 1/2hrs!! Went well, little sore and groggy! Off of pain meds except ibuprofen feel really

Headed to hospital!!!!!!! Now I'm nervous!!!!!! See you on the other side.

I'm sorry you had to go through that! Hope things are better now!!! I am 309lbs surgery tomorrow, 19 hrs and counting! Lol! I pray that things go well for you from now on and my surgery goes well. God Bless to all!!!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your starting weight?
