Talk to the supervisor who’s name you have! Something isn’t right. I’m don’t think anything is fishy, i just think no one knows what they are talking about!

I started using the vitamin patches from PatchMD for this same reason. I was Grinding my pills & taking them with applesauce. I just Couldn’t do it anymore so I just started taking them.

The 1st week is rough! Keep you chin up!

Thank you so much for all the encouragement! You are awesome!

I feel the same way, I take A stool softener every night, use Miralax or prune juice every couple of days. I buy the enemas by the 6 pack! Try to drink more water. I’m almost 2 months out.

I had Mine May 16th. Things are going slow. I have lost almost 30 pounds. I had mine for medical reasons. My starting weight was 200, but I’m only 5’1”. How about you?

My stomach was really bloated for the 1st 4 weeks or so. I was so constipated. I now take a stool softener every day & have Metamucil every other day. I’m 6 weeks out now & I have finaly been feeling well enough to do more. I had A RNY.

I sleep with mine every night so my husband doesn’t hit🤣

I have Slept with a Cpap for over 12 years. Put it on every night. It takes some getting use to, but I find that most people aren’t persistent & give up on it to easily & too soon.

I’m 6 weeks out from my RNY & just now starting to have hunger/fullness feelings. I think our bodies are just in shock from what we just put them through & they don’t know how to feel yet!

I miss straws! I had back surgery 5 years ago & I got used to drinking from a cup with a lid & a straw. I have gas & bloating so bad I don’t want to add anymore air into my system. I also miss making protein shakes in my Nutribullett. Is seems to make the shake too airy & I get more bloated!

Did your doctor use staples or stitches to close you up & how many openings did he make? I have 7 openings including the one from the drain and he used staples! I’m not to happy about that! I have had 5 surgeries in my abdominal region & have never been closed with staples! Toodles, Rue

I’m constipated all the time! That’s my new normal. I’m only 6 weeks out so I’m not eating a variety of foods yet, I’m too scared to do that. I just keep taking stool softeners & Miralax which takes a couple of days to work.

I too have an uncontrollable sweet tooth. I had a RNY a month ago. I constantly have to over come the temptation to not eat sugar! I have to to remind myself “Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels!” It’s my new mantra. I’m just tired of being chubby. I can feel my body getting worse from extra weight. I want to feel better, I wanna get out and do things! I’m tired of sitting on the couch! I guess you have to get to that point yourself & decide what is important to you. Maybe your not ready to make that big of a change.

Wow. How miserable you must be! I hope you get some answers soon !

I break my Norco pills in 1/2 with my fingers. They are oblong.

I was like that the first 2 weeks. Now I at one month out I just have the nausea & I’m tired if I have done too much the day before. When was your surgery?

I felt the same way today in my jeans!

I feel ya, I have been taking 2 stool softeners a day, Miralax & enema. Nurse told me it could take 2-3 days for it to start working

Could you have a sinus or ear infection? You might be Anemic.

We went to the movies tonight (1st time post op) I bought a bottle of water & added an Isagenix Hydrate pack to it to drink. I didn’t sit between my husband & daughter because I didn’t want to popcorn being passed over me!

Once you get your insurance going see if they have a nurse or dietitian that you can talk to. We have Cigna & they have been so helpful especially the dietitian!

I’m miserable too! I have been taking colace for about 5 days & using enemas. Started Mirlax yesterday.

Amazing! It must feel so good to not have that extra skin handing down! I dream of that day!
