Sooooo.....anyone else like me who hasn't managed to poop in 5 days? I've been adding fibre to everything and eating pureed pear, working on the Water, walking regularly and NOTHING. I know it's going to hit me at some point :(

Same problem here. I'm adding Miralax today to see if hat helps. I'm very afraid of the Constipation horror stories I've heard.

Also, I can't seem to sleep for an entire night. I'm not in pain but wake up at like 3am....anyone having that problem?

So glad the dent is a common thing. I hadn't read much about it pre op so I was freaking out over it. Mine is starting to feel a little less tender to the touch. I took a nice hot shower last night (thank you shower seat! Lol) and it felt a lot less tender after.

I haven't pooped either :( how long is too long to not go? I'm a little worried about that. And I've been so tired I really haven't been up enough to concentrate on getting my Water and all my Protein in. I'm so scared of this! I have only had a few ounces today. Gotta get better at this!

I keep seeing everyone post about not having bowel movements. I have been having the opposite. Diarrhea all day off and on. It's beyond annoying anyone else with this?

One good thing is I weighed myself this AM and lost 13.8lbs since Wednesday . Woohoo!!

Tmi- last night I was worried about no poop since the day before surgery (six days). I don't like introducing more chemicals into my body so I did a warm Water enema. Not fleet but plain warm water through an enema bag. Works immediately. Doesn't dehydrate you at all. It hydrates and enlarges your colon a little to let things flow easier.

I was farting up a storm before hand so I know my bowels were working just fine.

But I feel oh so much better this morning with a more squishy belly.

Everything is just haywire until it all figures out how to work with its smaller counterpart. We'll get there.

Is anyone finding it hard to get all your liquids in? I am trying so hard to sip but it is become a challenge. My throat is still sore from the tube.

I'm making a real effort to get in 1L (32oz) of Water . I'm finding myself quite tired and weak and know it will be worse if I don't get at least that amount. And from today aiming for 2 Protein shakes......yuck. But I am lucky that I had no soreness from the tube.

Think I'll do a trip to the chemist to find some type of enema.

I am down 13lbs already. Is everyone else seeing this type of loss?

It's definitely been rough :( I'm still not getting enough and I'm so worried about dehydration.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
