So we all know this life/surgery is not always sunshine and rainbows and I figured I’d make a thread for people to voice whatever is bugging them (related to surgery) that day... no matter how trivial it may seem.

Sometimes it’s just therapeutic to vent.
Sometimes hearing someone say, “oh I’ve been there, too!” can be helpful.

My daily gripe?

TMI alert

Something made me throw up this morning. I think it was the iron pill I’ve recently been told to take. But ya know what really grinds my gears about this? The taste of the iron pill after throwing up the first time made me KEEP throwing up. Awful, awful, awful!

Come to Aus, we have had temps over 4OC for days on end. Garden is parched, the cracks are so big you could fall in one and never be seen again.

Love all the comments about Bellies, they are a total b***h to lose . Even at my skinniest with no bum and shapely legs I still had a belly. I wish I was an hourglass or a pear not an apple!

Laughing @GreenTealael with your athlazy wear. Have you seen that spoof video about active wear.

My gripe is that I went to my GP this morning and have been diagnosed with a middle ear infection. No wonder I have been feeling so weird and off balance and as though I have a hair or something in my throat. Have been given antibiotics and been told I should START feeling better by MONDAY! WTF today is thursday ?

take so many medications, have to stagger them over a period of hours

because if I take them together -I will start vomiting and get nauseous

@LustyDraconianMaid

I had the same prob. What works for me is take the meds a few at a time, drinking

slowly with a nice creamy thick protein shake. Goes down the throat nice and

smooth. I hope this works for you too.

i see you are two (2) weeks PO, just starting your journey -

Hold on to your hat, ups and downs, the best is yet to come.

good luck newbie☺️

Sadly enough, diastasis recti is super problematic... ????

@GreenTealael

Sorry bud

i read your post from earlier and now understand. i looked up the word diastasis,

now know the meaning of the word sounds like after a while it "might" clear up?

i hope in your case it does.

best

My hair loss is starting and my weight loss is slowing. In a low place at the moment.

My very slim, super fit sister had to have surgery to repair her diastis recto after her 3rd pregnancy

My gripe today is not being able to go to the bathroom. I started taking a probiotic yesterday so i hope it kicks in soon. I am over this constipation stuff.. It is driving me crazy!

ME TOO. at least Miralax doesnt taste bad...but UGH!

So thankful for this thread. I’m 6 weeks post-op (gastric sleeve) and have hit the mother of all stalls. I’m only 4 pounds down from my post-op weight even though I’m only eating about 6-8 ounces of food a day plus protein shakes)... The nurse at the clinic gave me his number to contact him if I had any questions of concerns but is constantly giving me sarcastic/passive aggressive answers! (Insert eye-roll emoji) why give out your number if you don’t want to be bothered with questions??!... Anyways, is this stall normal early after surgery and will I still lose weight?
