THAT is not something I need, already had an episode and do not want another so may try the Senekot trip.

OK here is my insight. Some who are overweight are overweight because of low self esteem and not the other way around so they do not believe they are worthy of compliments. There are some who feel that they got overweight and had to have surgery to correct it and feel bad to have had to do...

I am not getting in the proteins or fluids like I should. IF I have two popsicles and half a bottle of water with Crystal Light that is my fluids because I get full. I cannot drink the protein drinks, get very nauseated from them. I ate a deviled egg today and mashed 1/2 banana for breakfast...

WOW 17 pounds since dec 13 is alot of weight in less than a week!!! I was done on Dec 3, weighed 203 going into hospital, weighted 217 getting out, and am now 197.6 pounds so losing less than a pound a day. NOT sure if that is good or bad. OTHERS who were done on Dec 3 or4 how much have you...

I am not nauseated UNLESS I drink the protein drinks(weird) so having things like yogurt, and cottage cheese to make up for the protein but they do not make up for the lost protein. Hope when i go to doctor on Thursday officially allow me to do the stage 3 diet so I can eat some meats and fish...

Wonderful to hear you are ok, at home and recovering. NOW it will go smoothly. What are you eating now? did they put you back to liquids or are you on the pureed foods? I have been having vanilla yogurt(Yoplait 100 2x protein) and some small curd cottage cheese no fat, for my proteins since...

You said you were going to discuss with your doc "I have also heard the opposite. One of my concerns besides the pain is if I will need to go into a care facility for an extneded time for my physical therapy. Unless I am able to get up and down 3 steps and in and out of my car unassisted I won't...

GREAT to hear she is now home recuperating!!! I am sure it is all going to be ok!! Rest and when you can let us know how it is all going.

The only thing I can suggest is to take gas-x strip just after you eat. eating very small amounts and eating with you mouth closed, no talking while eating etc.

How did the blood work come out? what did the doctor say about bruising? Probably normal, blood gets pulled down by gravity but should be checked.

I surely understand being nervous, normal! BUT you are going to say to yourself, "why did I not do this sooner?" the discomfort is much less than your daily pain from the arthritis and erosion. Glad you are doing it, it will change your life, you will be mobile and not dependent on...

I am not sure that is what they are actually called but if you use that term, people will know what you mean. There may be a proprietary name for them but do not know.

I was injected with Heparin twice a day at the hospital and had the pneumatic boots as well while in hospital but going home was told just to take the childrens aspirin and that was ordered by Cardiology not Bariatric surgeon. Patt99 I have friends and a spouse who had hip replacement due to...

IT does not feel like gas, no pain. I am walking as much as I can. Today I am feeling very weak when I get up to walk even the house, was invited to a party and could not go due to the shakyness and weakness :( I am eating the yogurts and about to eat some cottage cheese. I will call my...

Dragonfly how are you? Sister, write to us and let us know how she is doing please.

YES the UGI series will show the connections at the esphogus and at the stomach/intestines juncture. Were you gassy before surgery? Like burps alot of flatulence alot before surgery? Lots of people are air swallowers and that does not go away with the surgery. IT is training, it is hard to...
