Hi all, i’m 13 days post op ( really excited to have soft foods starting tomorrow). Is anyone else sick of the diet drinks. They all taste the exact to me, super sweet. I’m thinking I should’ve just got the regular one and watered it down. Also TW* (poop) how are you all making yourself poop. My Constipation is at an all time high and I just wish everything could go back to normal.

Tomorrow is the big day and I am terrified. I am getting the surgery for unconventional reasons, so I’m very high risk. But all of you and your posts have been so comforting these last few month, so thank you!

Mine is tomorrow too

My dr said if it’s more than 3 days then to do a triple dose of milk of magnesium and stay home, it should work within an hour. My surgery was on the 10th but luckily only had a week on liquids..

Constipation has ruined 2 days or my recovery. Never experienced anything like it. Yesterday I had to use 2 sachets of Laxido to get things moving. It worked but ouch. To prevent this dictate of affairs happening again I’m going to try green smoothies and adding some fybogel to my regime. Looking forward to reintroducing vegetables to my diet.

I had similar issues with Constipation. I ended up having to drink a tablespoon of olive oil 2-3x a day until things got back to normal.

Thanks! How is everyone doing that had the surgery. I’m still in the hospital, day 4. I don’t have pain and I’m feeling mostly good, just soooo much nausea that I am not able to drink much at all so they want to keep me. Any suggestions? Do I force it in to just get over it, or do I just let my body heal. I’m worried about my kids at home and was hoping I would be back with them already.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
