Talked to my team today. They reassured me no blockages as of now. They recommended mik og magnesia but just isn't doing it. Now I'm having to do sapasatories so we will see. Did have some relief early today but nothing since. So frustrating :-( Thanks

An ulcer in two weeks??? Oboy!!! My team looked at cat scan with radiologist and said everything looked good. I hope not!!! Iam having a hard time passing my bowels thinking that might be an issue. See how tonight goes!! Thanks

Thank you

Pretty rough night :'( I'm 2 weeks post op getting ready to add some soft foods when I woke up in the middle of the night with severe stabbing pain throughout my abdomen. Has any one else experienced this right as the switch to soft foods. Last thing I ate was 2oz of haddock and was very full. Wondering did I over do it? Didn't think is was to much. Cat scan came back fine! Hoping it does not return but belly is still not feeling right :'( Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

Where can you pick that up any store? I've never seen that.

Sorry it has been 2 weeks since surgery not 4! @@HeavenlyGirl101 Thanks!!!

I'm 2weeks out and today I'm pretty nauseous :-( Did get one Protein drink in and a yogurt but I think I'm done for the day. I force the Water down because dehydration is no joke been there. Hoping it passes soon Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

@@stephwv I'm doing well!!! Tomorrow will be two weeks and I'm down 17lbs since a came home from hospital! I'm having a hard time getting my bowels on a reg routine.. Any suggestions? ? I've been taking milk of magnesia :-( How are you doing?

Your right!!! I'm probably making a big deal out of nothing but the healing process. Have to remember to take it easy. I tend to forget that with two babies at home Thanks for the reminder!!

Ya, I have an appt on Tuesday. I have a two year old wondering if its from him climbing up on me? Boys are no gentle lol. I have no issues with my liquids or eating the couple things I'm allowed so I'm thinking that's a good sign. Thanks

Hi all, I'm two weeks post op and just recently have a tender belly. Not so much my incisions but more like center belly. Sore when I press. Only reasons why I'm concerned is because from day one I didn't have any discomfort. Probably just healing but is anyone else having this tenderness after two weeks?

That's a very low calorie intake!! I'm just ending my two week liquid post op and my calorie intake take is higher then that. I also think your Protein needs to be a little higher! I make sure I at least get 70g. My teams target is between 60g - 90g. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to see the scale fo up. I see it stay the same and I panic. Its differently a work in progress. I hope some of these suggestions help you see a minus!!! Good luck!! Maybe it would be a good idea to meet with your teams nutritionist.

I agree it makes ot dangerous :-(

The pre op diet is to reduce the size of your liver. This is so surgery is easier for the surgeon and yourself. Your liver lies on top of your stomach dome peoples more then others. Surgeon is able it access the stomach easier if liver is reduced. Good luck :-)

@ inkdcosmoqueen that's awesome!!! Everyone is different!! Make sure you are getting in your Protein that will help even more. Great job! @ susieT I'm going through something similar :-( I'm 11days post op and the last 4 I haven't seen a number change :'( Totally understand its a process but its what keeps us going! You are giving me hope it should change soon. I only take in 500 to 550 calories and 70 to 80 g of protein. Come on weight loss! !! Great job!

I was told NO nsaid!!! I've had bypass did have the band.... Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

I don't take a supplement (biotin) yet but I do use a biotin Callaghan shampoo & conditioner. Not sure if its going to help in the loss but mentally it helps to know I'm doing something. My hair grows very slow which worries me :'(

This horrifies me :'(:'(:'(:'(

Hi Jutun, there isn't much they allow you unfortunately :'( I made my own I found the boxed kind was disgusting. I tried to make it so I had my fluids in without having the broth. Its not easy :'( I'm 9 days post op and just allowed greek yougurt & cottage cheese. You'll get there!! Good luck

I did a two week pre op diet and it does seem to ease up into the second week.I(was) a caffeine drinker so it was horrendous in the beginning. I started drinking half caff coffee the second week and now decaffeinated :-) Hold on it will all be worth it!! I'm 9 days post op :-D SW 314 CW 299 Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App
