Ketosis also causes that breath ... also might have smelly urine

Sleeved on 8/25... lost 26 pounds in total from pre surgery phase. Stalling weight loss 3-4th week. Able to eat an entire egg but I so badly want a bread. Anyone ever had bread?

Why is there a 3rd week stall ? Any idea ?

I feel tired too... three things you can think bout are Hemoglobin / iron Thyroid if u had em before Blood pressure / sugar + salt intake

2 weeks post surgery how much do I exercise ? I walk 800-1000 steps after each meal so maybe three times a day ... what finally helped was consuming ibuprofen for two days brought down the inflammation & I had to use ice to freeze the pain locally n then push! Three stool softeners + banana shake + benefiber + chewable fiber !!! I'm so glad but I guess it's an ongoing problem till I'm back on normal diet & working out as much as I can :-( I love u guys thanks for the support... the first thing I do now when I wake up is have fiber.. I don't want that pain again.. ever !

I'm so mad the doc didn't tell me to have stool softeners daily . I'll get the magnesium

I would love diarrhea any day ... I have hemorrhoids so it's like trying to pass broken glass. Sorry for tmi but I'm regretting the surgery I wanna cry ... consti is my worst nightmare

Thanks for your response I had two stool softeners today n got nothing. I tried sitz bath prune juice (which literally burnt my esophagus) ... only thing left is suppository tomorrow. I wanna know if it's okay to strain cuz of incisions on your abs I don't want a hernia!

I'm two weeks out I have just been drinking protein shake n Gatorade/ protein water. But since I can't get enough liquids I'm dehydrated... this has led me to be constipated or idk if it's lack of fiber or cuz I stopped my metformin but it's been a week & I want to know if I can strain ??? I've started chewable fiber & took two stool softeners today ! Still it seems STUCK just like my life. I feel like once I'm relieved I'm only gonna drink fiber over protein
-
Thank you
-
That I can never swallow medication for the rest of my life!
-

Thank you looks like I've to time myself n drink the shake. I do have protein water too. Thanks I'll try to be more meticulous.
