Just wanted to tell you all how great it is that we have this forum to come to. I've literally been crying off and on today for no reason. I come to this site for support and understanding and instantly feel better! No where else can I talk about how many times I've pooped today with total strangers and feel ok about it! Thanks for your encouraging words, direct and indirect. They really got me through today.

I haven't pooped yet... at all. I don't want to though. Did you go on your own or did you take something to help?

I didn't go for two days, then the holy throan opened up. It was terrible! It felt like the Protein Shakes were running right through me. My diet can include skim milk, so I started adding that to Protein Powder, plus I think I was drinking wayyyyy to fast! Does your doctor have you drinking 4-6oz/hour for the first week? I'm afraid I drank too fast and that I messed something up because I STILL have this God awful left sided pain when I breath in I get a sharp rib pain. I've slowed up on the bowel movements for sure though. Hopefully once I'm eating regular foods next week I can get regular again!

No... I am all Clear Liquids all the time for the first week. I have to get Protein from clear Protein Drinks. I have swtiched to Protein Shots from Walmart from Isopure as of 12pm today. They are smaller and not as sweet and dissapear faster.

I am scared of the Protein drinks. I couldn't keep them in before the surgery and I ended up with a... let's be quaint and british about it... pile. And it is just now getting better... so the thought of returning to pooping and having it flair up again tenses me up, which isn't good with the stomach pain. I'm hoping it's okay since I've basically only had Water and a bit of protein. I'm sure I will be stuck on the toilet once I am on the shakes again... though I think I'll just make my own with egg white protein since I can digest those easier.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
