I'm so excited to be this close to surgery. I don't have a date yet. I go back to the surgeon on Jan. 8, 2014. I expect we will set a date then (hopefully). January 29 ends the 3 month "diet" period. So I think I'm looking at surgery in February.

Thanks I do to. I have to get rid of it before surgery.

Have you asked your surgeon what to take? I heard in one of my pre-op classes that some cold remedies (including vitamins and herbs) can interfere with anesthesia. So be careful! I'm praying you get better before surgery.

Hi all I have a band revision to a sleeve on feb 18. I'm so excited! Hope all goes well for you all and keep us all posted on ur progress!

Excited to hear how you do. I had my band removed almost a year ago and am being sleeved on Thursday.

Hey guys. I have been super busy and haven't been able to he on here but when I read this. I had to reply. I too am having the same constipation issues. My surgeon did tell me to try miralax. I have only used it once but it worked. He said this was gentler than milk of magnesia. So he wanted me to do that instead.

Well hello lady!! Yeah, we've totally been backed up. Except I finally got to go today. Lol. I'll try miralax in my drinks tomorrow and see if it'll keep me regular. Otherwise I'm popping the stool softeners.

Stay positive Sherry!!! You'll be better. Lots of test and chicken broth.

I have to do the whole miralax thing next Tuesday... but I'd love to just have a good poop before then! Haha. Maybe I'll hit up Walgreens tomorrow and see what they recommend.

I took colace all through my pregnancy and it helped me tremendously. Also, are you getting enough water? I know we are on the 'quids but I have to ask. Lol.

Hubby got me the kind that dissolves in water and was totally tasteless. So it seemed like just regular water. So that Was good. Today was the first day feeling backed up. I'm sure it won't be the last but trying to get all the water in too

I'm drinking a shit ton of liquids. Lots. Lots n lots. Did I mention I'm drinking lots? I'm peeing constantly too. And it's practically clear like water too.

I finally figured out how to log crap on MFP tonight so I'm feeling accomplished. But for reals, my head hunger is raging and it's very hard for me right now Bc I think the little bit of protein n veggies I'm allowed just whets my appetite for more food. And I know it's in my head but it's so hard. Grrrr

Wahoo for peeing clear! Boo for head hunger. Just keep typing along here and step away from the fridge! Lol.
