  8. Okay RYN Family, I am 3 months post op! Started my regular diet Wednesday and even before, I have been pooping everytime you turn around! I drink and wait 10minutes before eating and after I eat I wait 30 min. It still seems as if I am drinking, eating and pooping. My butt is having a romance with the toilet paper and I am hating it! One day I wiped so much my butt split! I know TMI! I hope this will resolve soon! I went shopping today, I hate eaten my breakfast did not have anything to drink a matter of fact was afraid to drink 30 min after the fact but my stomach rumbled and made obnoxious soundds I was so embarassed! I went and got me some Gas X to take right then and there! On the way home, I didn't know if I ws going to make it or not! (I made it barely) I remember my dietician saying, "Do not trust passing gas, and some people wear adult diapers!" I refuse to do that but not to prideful to wear a pad. Any suggestions or encouragement of this to shall pass! Thank s everyone!
  9. You look amazing! Do you exercise? You look so toned! Thank you for sharing the before and after photos!

    You look amazing and that's what happens when cannot decide, clothes here and there, clothes everywhere! I promise my name is not Cat in the Hat!LOL Enjoy your dinner!
  16. Thank you @johnedwin, got a call back today and all of my blood work was great, A1C, Thyroid, you name it! My physician was ecstatic of how much weight I had lost! He put me on flexaril and I can't tell just yet that it is working but I am not as sore! Have a great night!
  17. I guess every doctor is different!
  18. Hello @catwoman7, yes it does seem early but I am aloud on my plan to have 1/day, but thinking I cant tolerate that either! Lolol Thanks so much for the feedback!
  19. Hello Family, I woke up yesterday morning and had lower flank back pain bilaterally! First thing I thought was kidneys! I have been getting in at least 64 oz of water not counting my coffee in the morning! Only thing I think is the guilty culprit is I tried a Coke Zero and thought how amazing, it took me a whole day to get it down, so I had another one the next day and the next! They are 16.9 oz bottles but again it takes me all day to get it down. I just sip sip sip, my urine is a little darker than usually and so I am thinking that is the problem because as I am typing this, I realized it took me all day to sip the coke zero, I really wasn't getting in my water like I needed to be! I may drink 2 bottles of water and my coffee! See, there talking it out (typing) made me realize yes that is the problem! I go to my regular physician tomorrow, so cannot wait to see what my blood work is going to be like! I continue to take my multivitamins, calcium and thiamine! I am officially 10 weeks postop, 222 lbs 37.5".
