????????????????????

Why is this person still allowed to post here? I've seen people banned here for less abusive behavior than she/he has exhibited in this thread. For the same reason you are ????

You still posting though.A hit dog will holler. Let it go. Go for a walk. You were waiting to jump in... I guess I'll have a little fun before I get rid of this app. Tell me about your lifeSent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App And ended with this? You complained about drama and now you are sticking around to stir it intentionally for "a little fun"? Nice.

I kind of did, but I think it needed to be more directly stated. so thank you. No, it isn't. The 3 StoogesSent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App You still posting though.A hit dog will holler. Let it go. Go for a walk. Bless your heart.Wait. Who's the bully? Name calling isn't very nice. I don't see where any of these "bullies", "3 stooges", or "cackling old women" threw out insults like you just did. I'd say for every finger you're pointing, four are pointing back at you. (Is this where I send up prayers?) Still cackling Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Some of you are worst than bullies on the playground. Vsg can change your weight but it won't change nasty attitudes. Cackling old women who have no life outside of these boards. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Glad to see the whole "gang" is here, I was waiting lol Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Like what you're doing right now as well

It is important to keep an eye open where things are posted. Thanks for proving my point even if I don't you meant to:) I see a topic and OP that I'm interested in with 15 replied and 13 out of that are junk going back and forth because miss spoke. I love the various personalities in the responses and didn't say anything about holding or stuffing or anything like that dear Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Relax, it's the internet. No need to get all worked up. As you stated above......everybody's different. Not worked up at all, just wish we can get back to the basics. The majority of people come here for help, advice, or something they can relate to Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

When I first came across this app during my research I was so excited about the wealth of knowledge and experiences that people shared. Lately it seems as if these boards have been hijacked by the same gang of people who act like they're the forum police. What happened to giving advice or keep scrolling? I've seen people's post picked apart, taken out of context, or straight out shot down. Somehow the original posts gets hijacked and all off topic. I appreciate the wisdom and support that has been given on this site. From what I have gathered, being exactly two weeks post-op, all of our experiences are different, backgrounds are different, we're just different. If you don't agree with something, that's fine, if you do that's fine too. Maybe a PM can be sent so that when we read a topic that we would like to know more about, two posts into it and there's childish bickering going on, completely off topic and it's annoying!

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by opening with pain meds but I have not had a bowel movement since 2 days post-op, I am now 14 days post-op and I do believe once I have a good bm my tummy and my back will feel much better. Thankfully I have a follow up appt with my surgeon tomorrow.

I drink Coke Zero. Don't count on it feeling good going down. I can believe that lol Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Once I reach my goal I hope that I am able to handle A can of soda. I've never been a big pop drinker but every blue moon I would have one and it felt so good going down. I look forward to having one again in the future Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

He said it is more than likely a surgical pain and walking and moving around should help it, continue to take the pain meds if it continues to be bothersome. I'm personally starting to think I need a new mattress. He also said try putting a heating pad on my back and that is helping a great deal is well Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

You seem to be doing very good so far! I'm 12 days post op and can't seem to meet my Protein goal, all I want to do is drink Water. I think you have to find what works for you. Try different combinations and see how your body reacts. On another note I'm going to try these premier Protein shakes and see if I will better luck Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Does the 30 minute wait to drink rule apply after getting down maybe two ounces of a protein shake? The first thing I want after finally getting some down is water. Thanks

It's good to be well informed of all aspects. As you can see from reading these boards everyone's experience is different and some things you just don't know until you go through it. Some days have been better than others and that's a fact. My biggest issues are the acid reflux and lower back pain. I'm taking Hydrocod/ Acetaminophen around the clock to manage it. In the past, I was able to drink a cold ginger ale or take a couple of Tums and it's over. That is not the case now. Also, I used to love a big cold glass of Water, and I can't do that anymore. Even though I don't weigh myself daily I can visibly see the weight melting off. My BMI was I think 39 going into surgery, I weighed 240, I'm 5'6. Just be well informed and ask your surgeon what you can do now, if anything, to have the best outcome. Best wishes to you.@Ida33, did your surgeon prescribe a PPI for your acid reflux? Most do, if not, call your bariatric team and ask for one. It helps a great deal with the reflux.Yes, I'm taking Protonix once daily for 30 days. Maybe it would be worse if I wasn't taking it idk, but I make sure to take it.

Yes, I laid on the floor last night with a heating pad under me and it helped tremendously

I pray that things start going in a better direction. That's all I can do at this point is pray my way through. I pray so!!
