I am afraid to try slimming teas because of the senna. Senna usually causes griping and I dont want to deal with that. I am afraid that griping will be too painful.

I take Fiber Gummies & use Benefiber in my Protein shakes a couple times a week. Really helps me out! I was drinking benefiber twice a day for 2 weeks with plum smart and nothing. I was told not to take gummies at all so i just stay away from them. but i will continu the benefiber and maybe it will start to work. idk

I just saw that GNC has a easy swallow women ultra mega It is not too expensive. The 120 capsule one is 18.99 without the GNC card. I am gonna try that one. Cause I am so over the chewable ones. Hope this helps. .

So idk if this is too much info but I am having a hard time with making #2. The only time I am able to go is when i drink Miralax. I am 6 weeks out and have not gone in like a week. Any one know what I can do to help get things moving. My dietitian said to increase my Fluid intake which i have done but still nothing.

Well I had an issue with energy too. My dietitian had me taking my B12 daily until my energy we up. It has really helped. I take the 1000mcg sublingual. Hope that helps.

So i had to have an upper Gi endoscopy on Friday because I was having issues keeping solid food down. I am 5 weeks out and kept getting very nauseous and vomiting half of what I would eat up. In the endo the my doc had to dilate my sleeve. He said it was a little too tight and not allowing solid food to pass smoothly no matter how much I chewed it up. I am relieved that I am able to eat a little better. I am down 41lb from my highest weight and down 2 dress sizes so I am happy.

Yes it deff will help. My surgeon said excersie will help ur body to burn fat and help you to tone the skin that was stretched. He did say that it all depends on your starting weight and age though too. So hopefully it helps u in the best way. Good luck.

You will on be like 2 weeks out. the drive may be difficult for you. You can tell them you had gallbladder surgery. That is what i told people I didnt want to tell about my surgery. After gall bladder surgery your abdomen is sour and you cant eat certain foods. HOPE THAT HELPS

I will keep you in mine as well. it does suck big times. I just wish i didnt have to go through this at all. Some times i have regrets but I have to remember nothing good comes with work and suffering. So I hope you feel better soon. I hope I am not going through this at 2 months out. I have lost 38 in total but 28 since surgery. I hope we both get this under control sooner than later as well.

Well i am a month out right now and have been trying to get this reflux under control forever it feels like. But slow and steady wins the race. i know it will get better with time. I have to have faith that it will.

I would call your surgeon or speak to a nurse. At 8 weeks out I would think you shouldn't have any pain anymore. Are you on a daily antacid? If not, the rumbling and hurting could be from heartburn. Even on a daily dose antacid, I still get the burning and rumbling in my stomach in the evening. Well i have the same issue but it is my reflux. I have sever reflux that causes me discomfort all day long. I am on a strong antacid that helps for part of the day but by like 2pm my stomach is going crazy again. maybe you need to talk to your surgeon or nurse so they can give you something for the pain and discomfort.

Well I only know I was dehydrated by my horrendous headache that went to the neck of my neck and would not go away no matter what I took. I called my surgeon and his nurse told me that could be my problem to increase my fluids. I had to go to emergency cause it never got better. Had to have iv fluids. I am doing so much better thank god. Just dealing with horrible reflux.

No bread. I had mine the same day. I love pureed black bean soup. And mashed banana with protein powder. If you want peanut butter you can get PB2. My nutritionist said that is the best option.

I was put on purees before I left the hospital but I was there for 2 days instead of 1. But I love pureed black bean soup, and puree banana with some protein powder mixed in. That is what I had got breakfast and I loved it the soup I had for lunch and it was great.

Wow 35lbs that is awesome congrats. I hope to have your progress when I reach my 24th day out. I have to remind myself to eat. I have just started feeling hungry but am not sure if it is in my head either. I am just taking it day by day. I have been so tired and weak. What can I do to get some energy?

Hey all my sleeve was done on March 28th. I will be a week out tomorrow. It has been a rough week so far. Had to go to the ER for dehydration Monday and suffering horrible reflux since I left the hospital. Does anyone know how long it takes for the dermabond to fall off my incisions?
