Yes, for the first few weeks I could feel shifting. Now, feels normal.

Nicholson Clinic in Dallas.

Happened to me. Used fleet - felt like I was going to rip my anus off my body. Now on a stool softener and cut back on iron. What's your iron dose looking like??

They have suppository pain and nausea meds. Can they order that if she can't swallow?

I'm taking Pepcid complete twice a day.

This is normal. You should feel better in a few days.

Thank you! Yes, I am not a garbage disposal. I need to remember that.

Is this behind an incision? If so, it's a stitch and will dissolve in time.

Eggs!

Pain meds will do it too!

I went back a week after surgery.

So did you call or go to the doctor???

I have a desk job and did 7 days home post. I was tired the first week back but am fine now.

Dr. Nick is amazing! You will do great!!

I'm on soft foods now for the next two months I think. eggs, cottage cheese, canned fish, ect. I can eat half an egg, half an ounce of crab meat, ect. What do you guys do with the left over food? I haven't cooked many large meals since surgery that I could eat, but how do you adjust to cooking this small or adjusting food quantities for the family? I feel really wasteful, but I don't want to force others to eat my leftovers. My GF has already told me that she will not be my chubby chaser victim. My daughter is 6 and already eats like a bird - generally I'm scared she's gonna starve to death but she has a great relationship with food. In short, stuffing the family is out. I'm not big on leftovers. Composting??

Thanks OP for posting. This is helpful. I think like others have said, it depends on the strain. I've never had the munchies with it - usually it just helps me fall asleep. So great for pain and relaxation.

VSG over c-section, hands down.

Protein. Make sure you are getting enough protein.

I'm only three weeks out but not physically hungry as well. I have symptoms of hunger (growling and painful belly, headache, irritable, ect.) but never actually feel hunger like i did in the past. i'm not sure if that will change, but i think it's normal.

You are gonna do great!

Seems like you dislike their behaviors.

I add it to chicken broth. Tastes fine. Just be sure to mix well.

Yes, this! Doctor mentioned the deep stitches to me too.

Up your protein.

Have you been to your two week check up? If it's not today or soon, call the doctor.
