Today is definitely better than yesterday which was better than the day before! I think my bladder has finally woken up a bit. I'm no longer scared to take in liquids because it's coming out slowly but surely.

Protein is not been a problem. I switch to lactose-free milk and I'm using a lactose-free Way powder. (Nectar/Syntrax) so far nothing has disagreed with me. I think I'm probably dealing with some residual gas because I do have some chest tightness that I can work out with a good burp.

My only issue so far is diarrhea. I understand that it's completely normal, but any plans of me going back to work at this point would be thwarted by my bathroom needs. Anyone else having diarrhea throughout the day?

Good morning everyone! So I'm laying here on my hospital bed. 1 day post surgery. I was in a lot of pain yesterday. And constantly felt like I have to throw up. But today has been much much much better! Must I add, dr verboonen and dr Cortez and his team are amazing! Especially Javier, he's one of the nurses here. Before my journey through all this, I weighed 226. When they weighed me yesterday right before, I weight 210. Which means I lost 16lbs during my 10 days of the liquid diet!! I am hoping to go to the hotel room soon because I would LOVE to bath. Lol. I wish all you February 19thers best of luck!!!

Are laxatives allowed after WLS? I had horrible horrible Constipation after hip surgery in December. I tried everything and was placed on stool doftners in the hospital. Nothing helped. After 10 days I took a laxative. I never ever want to go through that again.

Dumb question- is anyone eating ANY fat? I just realized that the last three days, I've consumed ZERO fat. Anyone else? My NUT said fat free/low fat products, but doesn't the body need some fat to absorb some Vitamins?

Maybe I'm over analyzing it this early.....

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
