Hi Kellybelly_rny,
I purchase my coconut oil at costco - they have organic coconut oil in large containers & since I use it for cooking and for my beauty routine it is a much more cost effective to buy it that way. If you've never used it I would recommend Trader Joe's as they have a small jar at a reasonable cost & it is pretty similar to the brand costco sells. If you pintrest at all you can search for my board titled "Nuts About Coconut" there are lots of links on it with information about why coconut oil is so good and how it can be used for many things.

Than you very much! I hope I can help and keep you laughing.
I have always called her my Wiff on purpose, no autocorrect fail. In my phone she is under Wiff. I thought she needed a unique name because she is so original and incredible. She calls me Hubby instead of husband. It's one of our things.

Glad to hear MOM helped you poop. Taking notes for when I finally get under the knife and need to poop. You are funny!!! I enjoy your updates....I just need to know tho, do you purposely call your wife, your wiff?? Or is that auto correct??

UPDATE Post-Op Day 5:
Operation Poo Poo has finally been achieved!!!

I was getting slightly concerned yesterday about not dropping a deuce yet even though I knew there would be some delay in service. I took 2 tbls of Cherry flavored Milk of Magnesium (MOM) last night, which was surprisingly good tasting and very, very smooth. Woke up this morning, which is day 5 Post-Op, and nothing.....nada......zero action.
So around 10:30 a.m. I took full dose of 4 tbls of MOM and then after I woke up from a nap at 3:30 p.m. and POW!!!!! O' what a relief it is!!! WOW!!! I am so excited and just can't hide it!
So now I know what works for me: MOM!!!!! Thank goodness because I didn't want to use a suppository at all!!
There is update for the day hope you enjoyed as much as I did!

Thanks so much!

Firstday of liquid diet at work

Thanksgiving day

My surgeon hasn't said anything but I stopped anyway it took me about a month to fully quit! Even at times when I felt like it was hopeless (when I made this thread) but I stayed focused and finally quit! I am 1 week smoke free now!!!

Not needing as much lotion to cover all my square footage! :-) lol

I can tell ya what I WILL be eating soon: dear chili!! Just shot my first ever and got 2! One in the head (pictured) and a smaller one in the spine! Just did it a few hours ago! Sorry if it's gross to some, it's good eating to us!! That's bringing home the bacon

I have seen you use foul language and say so many hurtful and negative things to people on this site that they don't "need". Your negativity is unwanted here.

Well said x2!!!

Well said!!

I hardly consider this to be candid.... I consider it to be extremely rude....

I am 18 months post op and can eat anything I want. I am at goal weight and have only dumped once. I would say I am a chocolate nut as well!
I eat chocolate when I want to. There are times it gets out of control and I eat a little more than I should. This is usually around the time of the month for me. I usually crave sweets during that lovely time.
I do believe that it is all in how you look at things. I don't consider it cheating. Everything in moderation is normal. I believe if we continue to see it as "cheating" we set ourselves up to fail. We have spent so many years telling ourselves what we must "give up" or "deny" food. It is ingrained in us that we should feel guilty about having a piece of birthday cake on our birthday.
With all that said it can be a slippery slope. You must keep yourself in check and make sure you are eating the "guilty" food in moderation. I was several months post op when I went a little crazy and ate a lot of sweets. It started a spiral of guilty feelings and depressive thoughts. These boards help pull me back to reality. The reality was that I needed to figure out why had I started down that path. I discovered that I ate the sweets mainly when I was driving at work and stopped at a gas station. I would then buy sweets and eat them throughout the day. I counter acted this by logging foods and making sure I had Snacks in my truck with me. I also found food that would satisfy my sweet tooth that was low in calories, and had other nutritional benefits.
Finally I would have a little conversation with myself to figure out why I wanted the food. If you deny yourself the food for the rest of your life then you will either go nuts and eat too much or you become obsessed about what you CAN NOT have.
We all paid money to have this surgery, but I mainly paid this money to gain my life back. Make sure you keep yourself in check which since you are posting asking questions means you are. Make sure you don't let anyone make you feel like you are doing everything wrong. Make sure you are following your doctors orders. Finally make sure you stay true to yourself, and remember we are human and not perfect little robots.
Congrats on your new life!

Miss Mac's hooker name would be BUFFY HENDRICKS. Sounds like I missed my calling!

So now you have time to practice being comfy in your birthday suit. Walk around naked (ok, in your room when the kids are asleep), look at yourself in the mirror and think back to where you came from. Think about how much more energy you'll have in the sack! Wait for a guy that's worth it, and then you won't even care!

Thank u
