  6. The consitpation just relieved itself and just knocked me off my feet. I can't function right now. I can't believe it was that much in me. And for 30 minutes I was in labor trying to birth this Crap out of me. I'm 8 days post op and this is my first poop. I didn't think it would even come out. God awful. I am still recovering.

  8. I really don't know. I had WLS last Monday and they discovered I had a mild case while coming out of surgery. They had to delay my pain meds until I completely came to. It wasn't a big deal. They want me to do a study when time permits Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  12. I'm not sure if you were in the same liquid detox as I but my doctor had me drinking 1 16 oz of Benefiber a day and taking tums 2wice a day. I had to do this 8 days prior to my surgery this past Monday. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  13. That is about how much I was going. It just slowed down this afternoon. It must be toxins. TMI alert, I've had an vaginal order for over a year that I would have to wear a poise to help with the odor. It was strong and me embarrassing. A few days after being on the liquid detox, i noticed the odor disappeared. Also, I no longer need to wear liners. Amazing what eliminating foods will do. I hope I continue to pee although it's in annoying. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  14. @@KristenLe, thank you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  15. Sorry that I am so blunt. But I am constantly peeing. It started with the PreOp liquid diet and no sooner then I was out of surgery, I was peeing. Anyone else experience this? I guess this isn't a bad thing but my goodness. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  16. Did any of you loose any weight with the sleeve? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  17. I had my revision on Monday and this is painful. I finally had gas today but it didn't smell like most others said it would. I chalked that up to the pre diet requirements. I had to take tums and Benefiber during the liquid stage. I'm not hungry but I do have to follow the 4 week diet. I hate the pain. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  18. Meaning, 6 months of seeing the Nutr, 1 visit to the physc dr. I have BCBS. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  20. Hey- I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow. The 1 question that just occurred to me is if I will have to paid anything out of pocket during my checkin tomorrow. It's Sunday and I didn't ask. Does anyone have blue cross blue shield and had to pay a co-pay during their checkin?$ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  21. Stick to the PreOp diet! It's a little difficult at first by by the 2 or 3 day you will be fine. I had a few awful headaches but pushed through them. I'm at the point that I'm not thinking about food. I do have cucumbers and lettuce (very small) amount at lunch, I am allowed to have veggies. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  22. You look amazing. 6 months and 100lbs down (I'm claiming it for you). Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  23. Thank You, I'm being very careful today. My head hurts bad but I'm pushing through it.
  24. My schedule date is 9/19. I pray I can detox my liver. I haven't lost any weight. I'm in my PreOp liquid diet right now. I was very hungry yesterday and ended up eating some low fat popcorn. Ugh. Today I'm suffering from a headache. I'm having the DS sleeve. I had the lapband 11 years ago and it didn't work at all.
  25. I didn't lose any weight with the lap band. I was band 11 yrs ago. I will have the revision a week from tomorrow. Going from band to sleeve switch. My Dr is very confident I will lose at least 90lbs. Has anyone gone from the band to Dodenal switch in one surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
