    CONSTIPATION!!

    Hello All. I had my Sleeve surgery 8/16/2018 and had the best of times! The doc said it was straight forward, the recovery was relatively painless and I was able to do clear and full liquids...just one little thing that got by me...I DIDN'T STAY ON TOP OF THE STOOL SOFTENER!! Day 7 cam around and i thought I was going to DIE! I COULDN'T pass a poo nor urinate! I called the doc and really got no help, just some worlds of assurance that it would pass naturally (like a baby!)...I went to the ER in hopes they would give me an enema or DO SOMETHING!! But alas, they only hydrated me and verified that there was no obstruction ( I can't WAIT for that bill!!) ...I was able to void a little, but it was only thanks to my sister helping me at home was I able to get relief AFTER 2 FLIPPING DAYS OF TORTURE!! I am now FOR SURE on top of the softener, but my poor body has been traumatized and is still afraid! I will see the doc for a follow up on Tue. I fell like I know NOTHING about this new way of life and feel completely unprepared! I really try to sip the hours I am not eating, but still feel dehydrated and don't want to have negative results because of this. Any words of advice or encouragement? Thank you all so much, I know WE GOT THIS!!

    How to Start Meal Prepping After Bariatric Surgery

    Hi! Just sleeved Aug 2018. I ordered 4 oz plastic containers from Amazon and have been using them to a good success. I've made soup and it lasts FOREVER! I've made Eggface's ricotta bake http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html and just portion it out and throw it in the freezer and just grab it and go to work during the week-no thinking about it! I know what is in it, know it tastes great and can get more from the freezer! I just ordered 8 oz plastic containers and look forward to using them-I want to try some different combos.

    August 2018 sleeve surgery!!

    Hello Everybody! Just joined today after having trolled the site this week! My sleeve surgery is scheduled for Aug 16th and I am so very excited to get this done! I have a high tolerance for pain, but for some reason am feeling like a chicken when I think about the potential pain to come from this surgery! I think it is just nerves and I'll be fine! I do have a question-do you need someone to be with you your first night home?
