I asked our surgery team about the patches cause i wanted to go on them...they said they did not recommend them since there was not enough scientific proof they worked well over long term...

Leag78 im a lil over two weeks post op. My doctor sent me home with a stool softener Rx...says take twice a day but that not happening...i just started it back up today cause i feel pressure and i know thats what its from... It may be ummm there already just to hard especially if all you having is protein right now...

Anyone else going to have a hysterectomy?? Im already in the stages to have it done as soon as i am healed enough...i have a family history of utern cancer...the risk is to high for cancer with pcos and not taking any chances...so hope it clears up soon and gets back to normal otherwise out it goes!! I have had my children so no need for it!

Agreed!!

Txpatsgo!! Welcome!!! Youe doing great yes take it easy!! Takes time...dont rush it. Im just a couple weeks ahead of you..i qas sleved 3/21. I took gas ex strip's for about a week and a half just for pure measure and glad i did!! My walks were pacing the house...and liquids...hot/warm only...belly started to spasm with anything cold! So sounds like you have found your way which is awesome but dont be surprised if it changes from one day to the next! Keep up the great work!

So done with gym..40 min...i personally could have done more but one of my incisions was starting to talk to me..."whoa! what are you doing!" I was like ok ok...got off...

Micoxv wow! I have not put my fitbit back on since i had my surgery...i will this weekend...this week i started back on myfitnesspal so all coming back but slowly... Walking for sure to start...see how i do...omw to gym with him now...keep u posted.

Can you all chime in and tell me at what stage did you feel comfortable doing certain things? Im 2 weeks 5 days post op...and my husband is an avid gym enthusiast... I would go to the gym with him...and i want to go back...TO WALK..see how my body does...and i mean slow walk to start... The only restriction i have is no lifting over 15lbs. Which i don't plan to do any lifting for a while... ***So curious where did you start when you went back and what where you comfortable doing*** Yes i know im healing and YES I WILL take it easy not looking to hurt myself but walking around the house/work is not enough exercise

Thank you mln74! Has not been easy!! I remember when i had to attend a group meeting before having surgery...the phycologist was talking to us for a lil over an hour...telling us that if we decided to tell people and that if they said we did the easy way out that we should tell them yes, yes i did that you would be an idiot to do it the hard way....then he said...BUT in fact what we are doing is VERY difficult.... You know what...it is...this is NO JOKE..everday is easier but wow its very hard....i think it was easier before lol...

Ok so lately for whatever reason i have been very absent minded with my vitamins...im not sure why! I think its cause i cant eat on a schedule so i forget...im putting alarms on starting tomorrow!!

Try reposting this in your local forum....

I am 2 weeks post op...its been a struggle... Esp since eating two little meat balls takes 35 minutes min..i did not want the surgery but happy now i did. All my heath conditions are gone!! I have to trust all the veterans out there that say it will get better and i trust myself cause day 1-2 i was so mad at myself too...but guess what today was better then the first two days... As for feeling sick and dizzy checking dumping syndrome... Revert back...monitor what your eating and drinking make start new tolerances they never had and could be an issue like things with milk products in it...thats the most common i heard of...hang in their hun!!

Lol scales at hospitals and home are never right and yes water...u will be fine

Kranky lol ok ok once was enough i get it...lol ok so i wont worry about it just curious if this was a forever thing or what... No pain just noise lol...

Yeah i have been fine at work 2 weeks later its as if i never had it done other then this thing of having to drink non stop and eating smaller...i think 7 days is fine...and i too pace my house for walks (boston too cold still)

Im on purees now..and i have a question to those a lot further out then me...when i eat or drink i feel bubbles inside me and my stomach starts to make these noises as if its telling me off...but ONLY when i eat or drink... I sont feel gasy..no pain just noise...oh and at times after i do eat my husband has to burp me...any ideas? I mean its not interfering with anything just trying to figure out what it means

U will be fine...happy new you!

Awe fmoore2004 i feel ya girl! Right there with ya...i have 4-6 more weeks of pureed food...im gonna say 6 cause i have been kinda staying with my liquids since other then liquids my belly is not having it...

Well according to my dietitian this is ok to have...so if your says other wise feel free to not have any but dont knock others down for wanting to try something different...

We are looking for differnt taste and texture.. When ur sick of eating and drinking and can take it on the go heck yeah anything is good! Since i started to eat i get full at two bites!! These are perfect! I dont have to worry about them being cooled, can carry them in my purse and they taste good! And sorry ice cream too much fat and sugar not to mention my body no longer likes cold food...having gastric surgery is not a pass to eat crap.

well for having my surgery exactly 2 weeks ago i have lost 17lbs from surgery alone

INFANTS freeze dried yogart bites...OMG they are cheap good and melt in your mouth!! 1/4 cup is a serving size 30 calories 4g sugar 2gm Protein they come in all flavors you can find it anywhere and great to have in your bag...flavors i have seen...Banana, Cherry vanilla, strawberry, Peach, mixed berry etc... OMG love these...so when you cant's stomach anything else...eat these!!!

My husband is into fitness and if u have a belly your over weight...muscle mass in arms, legs etc does not count...cause the problems are all in the belly area..your HBP and sleep apnea is proof there...i struggled to do it too cause im petite but like u my health conditions showed i needed it...2 weeks out most of my problems are gone!

Hey every 3/21 here...find ur food temp...before i loved ice cold water etc after surgery NOPE has to be real hot and goes down smooth go figure...drink from a sippie cup to guide u on how much to drink...i still do...as for protein...its the first thing i drink as soon as i get up...my protein shakes...hot!
