I found out my surgery is 8/29. I feel like I'd won the lottery when I got the news!

Any advice for someone who is ten days out?

anyone else scheduled for the end of this month?

Neither do I! It's a process. I'm working on getting better every day.

I'm having big issues with constipation. The more I tell myself not to "strain" the more I feel like I do. Def not getting my water in. Really need to focus on that! Sleeved on 8/15

Do you take a probiotic?

I do not. Been using milk of magnesia and a stool softener which I stopped because it's a pill and my drs office said pills shouldn't be larger than a tic tac. So yesterday I got miralax and took a dose. It is the only "struggle" I'm currently having.

I am currently Pushing myself to get in my fluids and My protein as yesterday was the first day I was able to get my fluids and my protein down in a week, SO I CONSIDER IT A WIN I also forced myself to work out yesterday ( a very low workout) today Im paying for it as my sites on my stomach are very much painful today...I am currently as many other experiencing the 3 week stahl.. My doctor did give me a heads up on this said it could only last a couple days but can last up to two weeks I have been doing my very best to only jump on the scale at my doctors office (leaves me not feeling let down this way) and taking measurements once every 2-3 weeks ... I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE is doing well

I'm still having trouble with the protein bit but that's because my surgeon's office recommended that I get in 85 g of protein a day.

Also, I weighed myself and in the first time in a week, I'm down. Not much, I'm still 1,9 kg larger than I was last Sunday, but hopefully, this is the start of a positive trend.

My protein is a every single day battle for me... some days I do amazing other days not even a little bit the Gurd is really getting the best of me.... I am however am trying to be positive I hope that if you are indeed in a stahl that it will pass quickly I dont no how you manage 75 GMs of protein I struggle with 60 most days I only get about 40 some days none.. I hope it gets better for you... everyone keeps telling me it gets better just keep moving along, somedays I just dont no though

I feel the same with the protein. Are you in meds for the reflux? I really really hope it goes away! ?

Yes I am on 80MGs of Omprezol every day

Fortunately, I'm not. When I was a kid, I had really bad acid reflux but now, it's not nearly as bad.

I am holding yesterday's weight loss, as when I weighed in today, I am still at 139 kg even. Still 1,9 kg up from where I was last Sunday but hopefully, this will start to come down.
