Well I haven't been eating anything different...ive just been back on liquids or pureed food..because when i eat solid foods i cant use the bathroom :/ this is just until i see ny doc next wk and find out what i should b doing...i haven't felt that pain since last night though..thats a good thing.

So im a month post op, and my boyfriend (sons father) is just 10 days post op and has lost just as much weight as i have in a month! Not to mention hes still losing and im at stall since week 2...it suuucks..just venting

I have a question...I had my surgery july 18,2013 and ive had no complications...the only issue ive had is constipation. And that started my 3rd week after surgery when i could eat "soft food"..i got through that painfully. Then i was able to use the bathroom normally. Then just a few days ago i got constipated again and had to drink magnesium citrate which worked wonders lol. Made me feel a little better too lol. And now im on a " regular diet" but im so scared to eat...ive just been eating soup. I did have a small piece of chicken (it was very soft) and after i ate it my stomach was killing me..its like i felt it going through my bowels and everything...it was hurting the whole time. Ive never had a problem eating either..so im wondering if i should just go bck to liquids for awhile??? i feel like every time i eat solid food i get constipated. ..and it hurts my stomach and lower stomach now..weird.

Im a month a 3 days post op and ive been at a stall since my second week. Ive lost 22lbs since my surgery..im kinda bummed about being at a stall so soon. Everyone says not to worry, but how can u not...Hoping my body will kick in gear again Soon. Fingers crossed!

A few days over a month post op..and today i just started having this sharp pain in my lower stomach...it comes and goes, but when it comes its so painful for about 5 seconds...then it goes away...anyone else have something similar? Got an appointment with my doc nxt week. Just curious...

Thanks guys! I dont have an issue with sitting by others while they eat...its more a social thing for me as well..

So im a month post op and my bday is sept 7th..im contemplating on going to a restaurant for the first time, but im not sure. Im kinda nervous about what to order if i went. What are some food choices that any of you have tried?

First time exercising since surgery today..ive been wanting to go walking, but its been 100° in Cali...so today i did some arm exercises and since i live in a 2 story house i put those stairs to work! Lol I ran up and down 10 times and Boy was i tired lol..My boys were doing it with me and they kept saying " mommy are we done yet?!" Lol They're only 5 and 3 yrs old and were tired before i was...Well i hope it cools off soon so i can do some outside activities!

Your RIGHT! I didn't know when "that time of the month" was going to come after surgery...but thats exactly what it is. I was kind of worried before thinking i was doing something wrong lol

Im coming up on 1 month post op..and Ive stopped losing already...or should i say the numbers stopped going down....and now its gone UP! Does this happen often? I sure hope not. I thought i was at a stall..but i guess not since i went UP 3 numbers on the scale...dang it.

Yeah i just installed it...trying to figure it out now actually...sucks i wanted to go walking all day today but in 100° weather i dont think Thats the best idea..

Thats really all I want it for is to track my walking..im checking out different ones..

Anyone have it??

Hardly any. Just walking mainly..I do have 1 ten lb weight but have no idea what i can do with it..

Im almost a month post op..(will be 1month august 18th) and I've come to a stall already. I got the clearance to start working out, but have no idea what to besides walk and that is really boring. I cant afford a gym at the moment or a trainer..what home exercises do any of you guys do? That can help jump start my weightloss again...

Thanks, Im willing to try anything to start this weight loss again.

Ive noticed that a lot of people will stall around 3 weeks post op...im there now actually and its driving me nuts! Well im closer to 4 weeks post op coming august 18th. Ive been at a stall for about 2 weeks i wanna say...ever since I was having trouble with constipation....Im better now though as far as that goes...any ideas on what i can do to kick start my weightloss again? Or will it come on its own if i just continue to follow the diet....? Im thinking I should up the protein maybe? And water intake? Not sure if that will help..to date Ive only lost 23lbs since surgery...is that a decent amount of weight to lose a month out? All together though, ive lost 40 lbs from my starting weight...Any ideas to help with the stall?

Can i take my b12 and b50 complex at the same time?

Thank god.

Stomach sounds after being constipated a good thing or no? Does it mean stuff is moving around in there now?

Hopefully not after what i went through yesterday. Gonna call my doc back and see what they say...

Thanks. I had to manually disimpact myself as well. So today not so bad..now im feeling as if a laxative will work....

Is it really painful? Never put anything up there...
