I'm in daily miralax now, hopefully that helps

I finally pooped!!!! Just had to share lol

I would go to the er if I was in pain. I've been doing milk of magnesia for two days now. I feel action in the gut and gas but still no bm.

I thought the no coffee thing was from the acidity. I'm 3 weeks out and I'm going slow. I feel good with Soups. Maybe at 4 weeks I'll try different textures. Clam chowder went down fine but I took out the clams it was still awesome though.

It's so hard!! I right there with you... It's hard to stay positive but if you don't, you make it worse for yourself.. I just think back to times I would pig out and feel disgusting and horrible. Yes it tastes good and it's so comforting but then it's over and you feel like crap.... Take it one day at a time. I'm 3 weeks out and I still only get 2 -8.25oz Protein Shakes a day. Sipping Water in between and maybe one bite of food. That's what it is. Yes, we go through regret but this was a permanent decision and now all we can do is make the best out of it... Hope you feel better knowing I can REALLY relate.

I've never had back pain until after surgery. I'm 3 weeks out and my back kills me everyday. I have one part that goes tingly and numb. It's horrible.

Thanks for that. I'll call.

I'm about 3 weeks out. I haven't had any nausea until today. It hit me all of the sudden. I feel very weak too. Should I call or is it normal?

Thanks... I haven't even thought of it. I had bm the first week but I haven't since. I'll take something in the am. What about a glycerin suppository ?

Congrats!!!

I am 19 days post op and I haven't had any bm for two weeks. What do you all take? Milk of magnesia? I've only had about 1/2 cup food since surgery besides Protein. So technically I really don't have anything to poop right? Sorry I'm so confused.

It's hard... I wish I could eat what I'm suppose to eat. Soft solids, but I just can't. I guess it's okay though, won't last forever.

Lucky!! I've been cooking non stop since surgery. Even though I can't eat, cooking is a stress reliever . All I can do is 2 Protein Shakes and one tablespoon per day... Plus the Water. I wish I could eat 3 oz of tuna!

Jazmundo, this may sound gross, but I'm not hungry either, but do miss the taste and texture. Went to McDonald's the other day and bought a $1 cheeseburger. Chewed it up and spit it out in the bag without ever swallowing. I just miss the taste of the meat, pickles, bread, ketchup and mustard! Told my hubby it was the best $1.08 ever spent!

I love you

I made banana bread and I made the mistake of liking the spoon! Biggest mistake of the day. Anyone else...

Hey ladies. I was sleeved 2/2. Feeling pretty good. Still struggling with Fluid and Protein intake but nevertheless I'm getting there. I can be on soft foods but I choose to take it easy because last time I tried something too heavy I regretted it. Im basically living off 2 Protein Shakes, 2 bottles of Water and a small bottle of powered. I, like most of us, am a foodie and let me tell you.. It feels good to turn down food. I never thought I would be able to do it. I don't have a choice now and it feels good. When I feel down, I remember the long year it took to get approved and the joy I felt once I got approval.

I have the same problem. It takes me about 2-3 hours to get down one Protein Shake that's 9oz. I really don't have time to eat. I have to get up super early to start the process and take my steroid.. If I don't take that, Water hardly goes down.

Wondering the same. I guess it's different with everyone. I still sip and I'm about 3 weeks out. I hope I can take bigger sips by summer time hot utah summers need hydration!

It's head hunger. It sucks. I'm almost 3 weeks out and I still can't handle hardly anything. Half a cup of Soup and today I had tuna with shredded cheese and low fat mayo. It went down super easy but only one tablespoon. I was a full after... Stick to the diet and watch my 600lb life, it helps lol

I think my sleeve will be very picky. I can tolerate half a cup of Soup, no chunks, that's it. But I'm still only 2 weeks post. I enjoy not wanting food but being a foodie, my minds tries to trick me. I'm 2 weeks post op and down 30 pounds. Feeling good

Congrats! It's a whole different side

I haven't tried Soups yet. What kind do you eat? How much? How many times a day?

I'll have to look for it. Are they pre made?

I'm on soft solids now. I've noticed dairy is just not digesting well. Anyone else? What irritates your sleeve.... I can't digest yogurt or cheese. I found a small slice of turkey goes down ok. I'm trying egg salad today. Just boiled egg with light mayo.. Hoping that goes down ok. Trying a small teaspoon at a time ... One step forward and one step back seems like..
