My surgery will be on Feb 3, 2017. BUt having had problems in the past, I keep atea called Smooth Move in the pantry. I've used it for years. It's a bit like licorice and very relaxing. I will usually go within a few hours. It's a natural Senna, so no weird side effects. I get mine at the grocery store.

Post menopausal women only please!
50yearoldme replied to 50yearoldme's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Did anyone, post menopausal, start a period back up after VSG? I had a strange 3 day period about 6 months ago, otherwise I've not had one in about 2 years. Just wondering if there's anyone who's experienced this... Also do you have increased sex drive??? -

50yearoldme replied to roxy53's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

They just don't get it!
50yearoldme replied to danithomas's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There is a girl in my circle of friends that is having VSG for her Pcos. Her surgery is Friday, today several of the girls were making the "she's taking the easy way out " comments. I'm having mine in Jan or Feb, I've been doing lots of research and watching videos, I'm as prepared as i can be. I just kept my mouth shut, i wanted to tell them I'm doing it too and there is nothing easy about it! I don't think I'm going to tell anyone because people are so ugly. I'm ready though! I turned 50in May, I'm at 309 now, high bp, high cholesterol, bad knees, bad feet, back, headaches, apnea, and 2 preteen boys. I'm looking forward to a whole new lifestyle! 50 year old me!! -
I'm worried about this too, because I'm a taster. I taste everything I give them. But I am 50 years old. I am an older mom in my group and I want to be around for my kids! My hubby and I will be retirement age when the boys graduate HS/college. I want to see them be married and have children of their own. So that is my motivation, my desire, my hopes for the future. This is temporary. Prayers for you and your new life! I am hoping for a surgery date in late Jan early Feb. I'm vlogging on You Tube as 50 year old me. Come check out my journey. I'm hoping to be an encouragement/prayer partner <3

Can you still take Anti Depressant Meds post op?
50yearoldme posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm waiting on my date for January or early February! I am a long term anti depressant patient. Will I still be able to take my meds after surgery? I'm worried about trying to get off of them... -
I quit smoking in 1999! But I started chewing trident and chew it every time I frive or I'm bored. Why is it that you can't chew gum? Also If you were a gum chewer too, what do you do now?
