Has anyone had trouble having normal bm's. It has been just about a week for me! This is crazy!

Ive only been able to go by taking milk of magnesia ....but im also still not eating food at all so he said every 3-4 days take the milk if mag

I just had my first dumping' date=' not nice. Just ate too fast and UP it came.[/quote']

Mine happened the other day. I had some chicken breast meat. Cannot do white meat... Has to be dark I have no problem with that. Doesn't really hurt just doesn't feel great.

I found them at Fry's but they are a little expensive there. I am going to look for them other places to compare costs. The strawberry cream one is good too! The banana is the best.

I'm in Canada so I may have to find it online if I can't get it at walmart or at some health store. Either way I'm gonna find it lol

Oh I see. Lol! I have also seen a banana cream one made by Pure Protein and that one is less expensive. I am going to try that one and see if it is as good. It has made it easier to get all my protein in, don't have to force myself. Totally worth the price.

O tried the pure protein bananas and cream and wasnt crazy about it but will have to try to find the muscle milk ones.....r u getting the reg muscle milk or muscle milk light.....my dr only allows the light

For food that gets stuck especially chicken, pick up some papaya enzymes and chew 2. Helps the stuck food pass. You can get these at any vitamin store.

I've been freaking out since surgery (April 8th). This pain has been worried about it and have expressed it a couple times with dr's and nurses.. Oh it's gas try miralax or suppositories after asking if I had bowel movements.. Or nurse who also had surgery weeks earlier said it'll go away eventually.. Guarantee you'll be dancing soon.. I've had constipation this week too.. I'm worried about a hernia already.. Anyone hear of this so soon? We've got a wknd church group trip and I'm worried about ruining myself worse or the trip for kids. Uggh

Hi There....My surgery was April 22....released to go home that Thursday and was back in the hospital for emergency surgery early Saturday morning. I developed a hernia through one of the larger incision sites. I could not even eat a ice chip or take a tiny sip of water without having bad abdomen and back pain for hours until it could pass through. What does your pain feel like...is it constant after you eat or drink anything? If you feel like your Drs office is not listening to you or taking you serious....i would go to the ER and have them run test. My hernia was not visable in xray....but showed up in a Cat Scan. Good Luck and hope you get some relief soon. xoxoxo

I'm kinda worried that my doc did the sleeve instead is the bypass. There are times I want to put my stomach to the test. I think I may request my medical records or something

Do you have any heartburn or acid reflux? the sleeve tends to cause acid reflux issues.

Hey, that's the same for me! I had my surgery on the 13th and I am only eating those same things. Week 4 begins on Saturday, but I have a meeting with the nutritionist on Friday to talk about adding the semi solids. I can't wait to have tuna, chicken or something more substantial than shakes. Or just something to chew!

I made it I'm on the losers bench! Just came home today my pain feels more like muscle aches and I've been using gas-x for the gas. I'm only on liquids for another 48hrs yay!

Congrats to you. Best if luck on your recovery.

Well, I've had a rough couple of days. Was in ER last night for dehydration. They gave me fluids and sent me home. Then my surgeon wanted me to be seen at his office today, because I have been having trouble swallowing water. So the PA I saw today recommended that I start my acid reflux meds again, which I've been off since surgery. She also said that my esophagus is swollen from throwing up so I just need to be really careful with my sips. All in all I'm doing better now tonight. Not feeling too bad. Just wanted to give you guys an update. Hope everyone else is doing well.
