Sorry I've been MIA!

First of all, I lost the site. Now I bookmarked it and will be able to get back easily.

Secondly, I had a difficult recovery and very tired/lazy...LOL.

Stitches didn't 'dissolve' like they said they would. 2 got infected. Finally got them out yesterday and got a penicillin shot..

I'm still on full liquids until Sunday.

Now I have a funky achiness in my new tummy area...I think it's from the probiotics-was having a HECK of a time with the bathroom situation.

Haven't lost any more weight (actually put 3 pounds back on-but probably water/hydration).

I'm only 2 1/2 weeks out, so I'm not worried about weightloss.

I finally walked 30 mins last night - for a while I was only able to do 20.

Sorry you had a difficult time with recovery, now it sounds like you're on the up and up! Take care.:ohmy:

I am so pleased to hear that it sounds like you are improving now. I wouldn't worry about about the weight loss yet either, it will come soon enough. Your body is going through some major changes right now.

Thank you so much, ladies :001_tongue: I'm just keepin on keepin on....

Is that you in your avi? You don't even look like you need WLS! You are so pretty.

Umm may I ask about bathroom issues? Of course you don't have to say but others may be having the same problems. It might make them feel better if they are not alone.

You are so sweet! You can't see my fat body in that pic :001_tongue:

At first (after the surgery for about a week) I had the 'runs'. At about 2 weeks post surgery I stopped going 'No.2' so I needed to start Probiotics.

I don't care for yogurt, so I bought a pill that's supposed to help:thumbup:

Sorry you had a rough go of it and glad to hear you may be on the mend ...

As for the bathroom issues - not unusual to have the runs during the liquid phase - liquids in, liquids out. As for not going, I spoke to my surgeon about that as I lose track as to when I go ... he told me not to worry about it, since I was eating so little, I wouldn't go as often ... so I dont worry about it ... I'm trying to get in more Fiber now that I am able to eat a little more and that seems to have made a difference.

Hope it all works out for you and you are feeling 100% soon!

I'd like to see the scale move a little more..but it's ok. I think I've only lost 2 pounds this week.

I take a probiotic. It really helped me when

the people at the health food store told me to take it on an empty stomach. 2 hours

after meals and one hour before a meal.

Hi Susie,

I am scheduled to have VSG with Dr. Joya August 17th!

I don't hear much about him on this site. I'm concerned when I read your post

about the stitches. How long did you stay in PV? How did they treat you?

Thanks

Thank you!!! That has really helped today :cool0::biggrin0:

You're welcome! I guess if you take it with food in your stomach, the food absorbs it, and it can't do it's job.

I was hoping for an update? How is the bathroom situation and small infections?

[cajun 46]

I'm a believer in Probiotics. But am wondering how soon you can take a pill or a capsule after VSG?

Have not had my surgery scheduled yet, but I will want to be on probiotics as soon as possible afterwards.

My program says as soon as you can manage it and are on regular food....
