How do u post pics. I cant serm to find it

It depends on what type of device your on. You may see a + sign or "advanced" option on your screen or some type of button at the top or bottom when you go to write a comment. If you're talking about your main picture you may just have to tap/click on the empty box (again it depends on your device) and add then. Just click on the random buttons you see and I'm sure you'll find it

Mine had been 8 days- used ducolax suppository' date=' worked like a charm! Perhaps TMI but when you fell nauseated all the time like I did still, it was truly the best option!

I didn't have to have anything, you're not getting much solid food in. I started having gas/flatus about 3 days out; so as a Registered Nurse I knew I was okay. Took about a week before I hand a very small BM. Hope this helps.

I have a teaspoon of Benefibre in my Breakfast Protein Drink, and another in my bed time drink. Does the job (!) perfectly :-)

My date was October 15. I've lost 17 lbs since then (256 to 239). I've been out of work the whole time, and I go back on Monday -- so I'll get some feedback for sure!

Need to shop this weekend: I cleaned out my closet this week, and only have ONE pair of pants and ONE suit for work!!!

Ok so i had he surgery today. Mouth is KKKKerrazzy dry. Teeth sticking to my lips, something's gotta give. Driving me bananas. Have already gone through 4 cups of ice chips and walked around the floor 3X.

sleeping on and off. I see 4 incisions The one that my stomach was pupped through is very very swollen.

I had lost 10.8 lbs pre-op but on one of my walking rounds, we found a scale. I am 9 lbs heavier!

Congrats to you!! Sluggish or sleepy? Whatever they gave me in recovery is knocking me right out. I can fall out on a dime. I have been getting up and going to the restroom alone and will be able to walk alone too!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
