Topic: RE: More potty talk... sorry
After feeling the need to go but not having success, i gave in and bought some Milk Of Magnesia. It tasted pretty nasty, but the relief i feel now is so worth it. I might go check the scale!
Read my blog, BARIATHLETE I run because I can.

Marci....I had surgery 2 days after you....and thankfully I have had no problems with gas (excessive that is) and have had regular bm's since about 4 days out. I think it will get better. There's alot going on inside our stomachs and colon right now and it's having a hard time adjusting to the foods or liquids we are putting in our pouches. Unless you have bloody stools, pain or excessive diarrhea I wouldn't worry. Good luck to you on your New Adventure.

Topic: 3 week check up
i had my 3 week checkup this morning. i have lost 19 lbs since surgery so i am down to 208 - i was prior to surgery 227. so i am happy. i have slowly regaining my energy. i am walking daily not far but trying. i am feeling better than i have been.
still having a hard time getting my water in - getting there up to 48 oz but it takes awhile. protein is not high - working on that. i hate the shakes too. going for high protein foods.
going back to work on december 16. the pa wanted me to stay out another week but i need to start working. i promised i would not lift the first few weeks and ask for help. i am a nurse on a busy floor.
have a good day all

Topic: RE: Stomach Tenderness??
I am having the same feeling. I am two weeks today and it almost seems like I walk around looking pregnant. LOL! I am having a very intense burning sensation to the left side of my belly button that comes and goes. But when it comes HOLY CRAP it hurts. Cant seem to get a straight answer on what the heck it is. I called the Dr. several times. One says it is muscle burn, another to go to the ER, and my nurse at the hospital says stay comfy there is nothing on that side. Why wait in the ER talk to the Dr. For the love of God. Then they talk to me like I am stupid. Well HELLO this is my first trip down this road I dont know what normal is. I agree with the hospital why would I go to the ER when the dr. has been in and it is not an emergency??? I am feeling frustrated like I am walking in the dark. Good news is the scale is looking good.

I was at my first post op appt yesterday and brought this subject up. I was told that what we're eating at this stage doesn't really produce much waste so you might not be going each day. I was told to add more oatmeal and fiber filled foods to help with not going.
Topic: RE: WOW...
I was just cleared for soft/purees too. It was so nice to have something different. That I could actually kind of use my teeth with. LOL I had surgery on the 17th and I've lost 22lbs so far.
