I just had revision to bypass. I was taking dulcolax, Miralax, mom, Smooth Move tea. Was constipated for 5 days until dr office told me to try an enema and magnesium citrate. I was told that if I had not gone by the evening of the fifth night I needed to go to er. You do not want to deal with obstruction or compaction. Nothing to take lightly.

Take advantage of your “honeymoon” period. It gets much harder to lose or set healthy eating habits once it ends.

Before and after.
Still got 20-30lbs to go...

here ya go

Side by Side

If I come under my protien goal, I'll have some Peanut Butter just to add some more. It doesnt seem to bother me but I try to limit myself to 1 teaspoon since it has so many dang calories.

Finally hit my first major goal.
100lbs gone in 100 days
Feeling great 👍
Feeling confident.
from 322lbs to 222lbs
my next goal is 200lbs
then see how I look and feel
might even get to 190 yet 😀
Thank you everyone.

I cook same stuff for family that I am able to eat smaller portions of. I also keep things on hand like good quality meatballs in the freezer. So easy to add sauce and mozzarella cheese for myself. Family can eat the same thing over spaghetti.
Lots of great recipes at Bariatric Foodie that are also family friendly. I made a taco casserole from that site last night. Grandson and husband both loved it.

My plan is very strict about this. It is 4 weeks out and even then have to be careful.

I would def wait a little while, you do not want to get caught up in the moment and cause any leaks or anything from being too erm 'vigorous' , also definitely ask your surgeon just in case they have strict guidelines

I have had extremely dry mouth from a medication for years. Be careful because I ended up losing my top teeth because of it.
i do not want to lose bottom teeth so now I use what dental hygienist recommended for at night while I sleep. They are called xylimelts
you put one between teeth and cheek. It dissolves through the night keeping your mouth wet. It stimulates the saliva. Got mine at Amazon but there may be other places to get it.

I used to use xylimelts at new but I was going through about 6or 8 a night.Think I might get them again as long asi don’t end up swallowing one

Do not take Aleve!!!! Unless your doc says SPECIFICALLY you can have it! Aleve is an NSAID and most of us (RNY OR VSG) are told no NSAIDS forever. (I do know of some exceptions but they've been rare.)

Why do you think you've regained? Are you doing anything differently since July to contribute to the regain?
Do you weigh, measure, track and plan your food?
Do you exercise?
Do you drink any caloric liquids especially alcohol?
Give us a couple days examples of what you eat.
Also fill out your profile form to tell us more about yourself. You can also add a ticker to your signature.

Ice is good for inflammation if you use it 20 minutes off and 20 minutes on.
I had revision to rny 2 weeks and getting some pretty bad back pain. I am using heating pad at night with no issues.

I hope to hear from others too. Will you share this info? I'm looking at the least per week that we can afford to do and still pay for the payment processing each month and the fees to keep track of it all. I'm also looking at any sales tax implication, so hope to have some feedback for y'all soon!!! Wooohoooo a real LIVE online support group, accountability partners and book club dealing with the head work and behavior modification.

Great idea! I already have B12 in my bariatric multi, so will stop the extra B12 supplement for a month or two and retest! [emoji4]

Well, darn. I do hope that you get it sorted out soon. Darn shame but it seems like we have to have a medical degree these days just to handle our own medical care.
