BM for me, yes, but not waiting on mother nature. I took remedies that my doctor recommended. He said Miralax, but if that doesn't do the job, Milk of Magnesia. I felt SO much better after MoM got the job done yesterday.

@@Maggie Journey Well like I haven't had enough problems, I've had diarrhea ever since I came home from the hospital...But I do have some good news! I just "almost" finished an 8oz Protein drink.....first one I've been able to drink since surgery....I have about an ounce left and I put it in the frig and will try to finish is in a little bit.........This is huge for me because I've not really be able to drink anything worth measuring! So I'm hoping I'm turning a corner......I know once I'm able to get a few calories in me I'll start feeling a little better.....I can't believe I haven't felt the first little bit of hunger even though I've not taken in more than 100 calories in a day since surgery.....Yes I know that's bad! but if I can't do it, I can't do it.....I'm working very hard to be able get the fluids and Protein it's just been very slow going for me.....

So I will finish the rest of this Protein shake this evening and my goal tomorrow will be to manage two.....we shall see!!!

@@kmorri, I am so sorry to see the difficulties you're experiencing. It's exhausting to be getting only 500 calories, let alone 100 calories. I think at this point it's (#1) get your fluids and (#2) get your Protein in if you can.

This whole process is very much just one day at a time! I keep my spirits up by focusing on the fact I'll feel better tomorrow, next week, etc. And I've been looking at the success stories and before/after pics for hope and inspiration.

Hugs!!!!

Did you take pain meds at home? I have been (liquid hydrocodone) and my doc said that that can really slow things down. I'm nervous

I've not had this problem at all in fact I've had a little diarrhea.....But if you're suffering or uncomfortable just call your surgeon's office and they will tell you what you can take............if you're not uncomfortable I say don't worry....you're not eating enough to produce very much...Hang in there!

I had surgery on the 17th and had bm yesterday- dr office told me I wouldn't have one until I started eating - I had cottage cheese in the am. I didnt strain - no assistance needed from meds. I think if you drink enough you will be fine.

Day 3 post-op and I am HUNGRY. Am I the only one?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How's everyone doing with hunger? Day by day I get more and more hungry and thirsty! I have absolutely no problems getting fluids or Protein down so at this point it's really mind over matter - I am having to make sure I go slowly and don't over consume but I feel like I could eat a lot!

Still hungry here. Everything has gone down fine including cream Soup, yogurt, pudding, and Protein shakes. Today I got out of the house with my family and had a bit of nonfat, no sugar added frozen yogurt. It was good. It's not sweets I'm wanting though, ready for something savory.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
