I bought a lycra under shirt... it seems to be doing the trick..

go panda go!!

I had had the same problem. Have taken ducolox (store brand) two nights and added Miralax (store brand) and guess when all things decided to cut loose. 2:15 this morning. Now that was a rude awakening. Thank goodness I woke up. And smell oh my goodness, I offended myself. Seriously it was awful. I think I did lose a pound, but I could have sworn it would have been five.

I got my ice cream..

I want cheesy carbs and sweet tea. And soda soooo bad, a nice cold coke.

I would trade my first born for a coke. True story

Snow.... I'm glad your day was better! I just talked to my boss today because I wanted to go back to work Tuesday. Since I don't have my follow up until Thursday next week, he won't let me come back until then. I was really looking forward to going back Monday!

Everyone is different I have felt the same way at times. I'm 4 months post op and I can drink a few gulps of Water sometimes and others I can't. It doesn't mean you have stretched out your stomach I have learned there are things that we are able to have a little more of like water for instance. Be glad that you can because getting your fluids in is a BIG requirement of the surgery.
Hope this helps. Good luck :-)

Dr Says this pain is normal. Apparently it's my belly fat pulling on my internal sutures. He suggested I use a binder to hold everything in place while I heal. In the meantime he gave me more pain meds. The reason why I didn't feel the pain before was because I wasn't moving as much as I am now. Thank God it's not a hernia!
Got to see my nut while I was there and she ok'd me for stage 3 foods. Hope everyone is having a good day!

I see my dr in the am. Praying he has some sort of cure for this pain in my tummy. I seriously don't think the er dr knew what she was talking about. All I do is sleep off the pain meds, eat Wendy's chili and drink. But I'm only getting about 16 oz in and I know that's no bueno. Still can't believe they didn't give me an iv either!
Anyway, praying for Lisa and Southern and anyone else still having difficulties. May you all be filled with Gods comfort while your drs do their thing!

I can drink 8-12ounces of Protein in about 20 minutes without a problem! I'm only 5 days post op. I have no trouble getting Water down at all, I have 3-4 16.9 ounce bottles off water a day. I'm starting worry! I feel like I shouldn't be able to consume as much as I do. I'm still not sure if I'm getting enough protein, since my NUT is out of the country for a few weeks.

Thanks! I'm doing great!!... Except for already dreaming about food...lol..

I started 11/6 and was approved 12/18 after one phyc evaluation and one visit with the dietitian! I had gastric bypass This past Thursday 12/27! It went by so fast!

yes the joy of simple things. so happy to be able to wipe my butt and do it well I might add.

LOL....I actually had a BM post op day 2.. I had to tell my mom not to be afraid to wipe my ass..I said you used to do it all the time when I was a kid.. She was like, well your ass didn't look like this 30yrs ago...we both laughed and laughed!

You look Fabulous!! V

You look great! Great job!!
