Biotein was a life saver. Dry mouth from hell after surgery. Toothbrush tooth paste slip on slippers and robe. Everything else stayed in bag. Get up and walk as soon as possible and keep moving. Good luck and don't look back.☺️

I'm 6 months out and still have occasional bouts of constipation. My go to is a combination of smooth move tea and colace. DW has no problems and she had surgery same day. Hope every thing comes out okay ????

Hey guys I'm 1 month post op and I was in the same boat. 6ft 1 in 425 lbs at my highest in September. Sleeved on November 24th. I'm down 55 lbs total so far. 6 lbs diet before program, 20 lbs liquid diet pre op and 29 lbs post op. It's tough the first couple days of the liquid diet and first couple days post op but it's been worth it for me so far. Work with the surgeon, NUT and the sleeve and you'll do great. Looking forward to the new us.

Been a little ruff. I'm moving really well she having a little more trouble. She had a previous hernia so they had to put in extra stitches. Had some bm issues. Today we got bumped up-to puréed. Today is a good day.????

I'm 13 days out and just had my 1st real bm. I've been constipated with overflow diarrhea for 5 days. Just to be on the safe side take your colace and benefiber. This to shall pass????????????

Called on call nurse this am. Gave her details, my surgeon called back told me was normal and wanted me to do 2-3 enemas today and keep him updated. My surgeon actually talked to me on a Sunday mourning at 9:00 am. Really great Dr.

Thanks Chele I'll call this mourning.

Wife and I had VSG ON 11/24. Yesterday was the 1st urge to used #2. Have been on colace and benefiber since Thur mourning. Yesterday afternoon made it to the bathroom with seconds to spare! Nothing but liquids but still feels like a rock stuck in there. Anyone else go through this? Any suggestions? Sorry if tmi just uncomfortable?

I know the feeling I got to my room at 2 pm and wife got here at 4:30. Now we're both post op???????????? Walk 3 laps so far, pains getting better but still there Congrats to our post op er . It's a whole new us. Way to go ppl

Just got the call from hospital, I report at 0730 and my wife is at 0800. Butterflies just erupted in my soon to be smaller stomach ????

A wise man once said never trust a fart. I think it was Al Rocher. I've learned the meaning of that while on the liquid pre op diet. Keep going strong we can do this

I quit after 15 years. I was up to 3-4 pack a day and it SUCKED to quit, but everyday out it gets a little easier. You can do it. One day, one hour one minute at a time. I can't believe I haven't had a smoke in 14 years. Good luck and I wish you the best.

Make sure you get your protein! It help keep you from feeling hungry. I try to have a protein shake every 4 hours keeps the hunger at bay. Keep the faith and we'll get there. I'm a full week in and doing ok.

Wife and I both on the 24th here in NM

I'm in with you guys. My wife and I are getting sleeved on 11/24 and cant wait. Both my parents are adult onset diabetics and my twin sister has been for 20 years. Now shes lost her eye sight and her kidneys are shuting down. I was 426# and my doc told me that the next time she saw me she was going to start me on a diabetic work up so i figured it was no or never. need to get more guys in here:)
