Already going to counseling, I know why I put myself at risk. I have ptsd and also an eating disorder. Like I said.....I feel fine, in fact I feel better than I did yesturday. Prune juice is recommend if I feel I need it. I'll call him if I think it's necessary and I don't feel well. Thanks. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I am.absolutly going to be taking it easy from now on. Thank you for the words of support. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Just watch for anything abnormal I'd say. If you get stomach pain/fever that can indicate a staple line leak which is serious and you definitely should call your surgeon and tell him the entire story. If this was last night the food has likely already cleared your system and it seems like you got lucky and didn't cause any serious damage but closely monitor for any new symptoms! I do feel fine. Just waiting for my BM to be totally in the clear. Thank you for the care and support. I just had some prune juice and it made me nauseous but I'm gonna count that as normal since I hate it. Also im assuminh that hopefully the nausea means that it's working and moving stuff around in my tract, godwilling. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Yes totally normal Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Yes, I'm so aware. I could hardly sleep lastnight. I just kept imagining that I would get really sick and possibly die. I have no idea what symptoms to look out for. Could u share some with me? The next thought that kept me up is exactly what u said.....I have no idea how I fit that much in there. The true severity of my food addiction finally showed it's face and that made me worrisome about my future success. Those table spoons of food I mentioned where estimates so I could have over estimated but at this point I don't care how much it was. I wasn't supposed to eat it at all. I must say I feel okay, just as I've been feeling. I haven't had a BM yet but I do feel well. I'm terrified to tell my surgeon. He's very very Stern-as he should be but he's going to scold me so badly and I'll probably cry. I want to just continue like.nothing happened and just never mess up again. I don't want him to know. At the same time I do want him to know. I know I won't make this mistake again, the paranoia and guilt is worse than anything I've ever felt before. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

You'll be fine. The surgery is a breeze. The recovery was very challenging for me but I made it through fine. You'll be fine too especially because you're not as large as the rest of us. Goodluck friend. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Oh wow, I'll be praying for a safe and speedy recovery. I'm glad u can get the help u needed. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I really hope it doesn't. I know I'll be fine once I can eat full liquids. And stock up on the types of things you've mentioned. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 days post op. And I'm supposed to start on Protein shakes next week and start introducing solids at week 3. Today I went against my Clear Liquids and ate so much and I'm freaking out a bit. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 days out and yes I was being woken up at night due to the hunger pains. I've been getting my 48 Oz in too. Thanks for sharing. I don't feel.so alone. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I feel the exact same way friend. I'm 6 days post op and I'm just cruising along fine, breaking all kinds of rules and I'm terrified too. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

What is a stricture? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

My doctor just tried to talk me out of doing the surgery. She says I should do it after having kids. She says I won't be able to feed my baby enough and that I will have nutritional problems. I need some support and advice. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Yeah, I'm sticking get with my PA and not going to.see the DR again Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

And again, thank you for all the wisdom and support. I'm scared that I won't be able to conceive because of my weight too. I mean I'm not even menstruating anymore. and I'm looking forward to being able to nurse and run after my own baby. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. I see a PA and about 20 minutes before my appointment with her she had a family emergency and the DR had to step in and see me instead. I should have just rescheduled. My PA is very supportive and has always worked hard for my health. I just don't think this DR knows me and my medical history well enough to try to sway me from my choice.

Thanks friend. That helped. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Sorry im.all over the place and not making sense with this response. I've had a bad day. I think that she was just trying to sell me a $200/month diet plan and my feelings are hurt. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I want them now but can't till I'm don't with school which will be in 4 years. And yes, I feel like I'm not even gonna get pregnant like this.i haven't had my period for 6 months. It's because I'm so overweight that I've stoped. it's like......she didn't make sense. I think I'm way worse off being morbidly obese than being healthy and not able to gorge myself to death.

What is severe bile reflux ? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

That's exactly what I read. Sent from my SM-G530T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hummus is one of my most favorite foods. I must tell u though.....a lot of people will say you can eat it with carrots or celery but that honestly tastes like crap. Hummus is meant to go with pita and/or falafal or even crackers. The problem with that is that it's just too many carbs. So I only eat it when I'm treating myself. Hilarious sidenote....I first read this as "anyone eat humans?" I was so flabbergasted. Lol. Sent from my SM-G530T using BariatricPal mobile app

After reading a lot of stories I've learned that people typically wait about 4-6 months from the very start of this process to the day of surgery. I started my process July 17th 2016 (the day i walked into my surgeon's office) and I'm scheduled for surgery on August 29th. So my process has taken a little over a month. Which means that I haven't been on prilosec for long nor have I been on my zero starch diet for long. Also I've gained 5 lbs. They said I had to either maintain or loose. So let me get to the point here.... The night before my pre op appointment i caught the flu and my heart rate was high. My preop appointment was Yesterday. My surgeon's nurse said I should wait till im.not sick.anymore. she said I should work on loosing some wight and be on my diet longer and be on prilosec longer too. She said she's never experienced anyone moving this fast and thought I should reschedule. I don't know what to do. what you do? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App
