What do you hate most post WLS?

I'm a little over 8 months out and I have to say the thing that I really hate the most about this WLS (understand that I love a lot more than I hate and am very glad I did it) is my BM.  Either it is like giving birth to a truck or it is long and clay like and is a real pain in the ass to clean up and flush.  Sorry, but I wasn't expecting that part of this.    Today, second on my list would be my fear of relapse and gaining it back.

That is one of the reasons I went with VSG, i'll still be able to make a terd. hehe

I'm on the same page with you stephan.  AND IT DOESN"T get any better.  You say giving birth to a truck, I say pushing out a beer can.  Keep a plunger by your side - forever end ever amen  LOL

Thought I was the only one with this problem.  Guess it is a small price to pay for the outcome.

As far as relapse we just have to always stay focused.

My only problem (had a RNY 5 1/2 months ago) is loose skin, it is irritating when i sleep and is starting to get freakin ugly in my stomach region.  That and some bloody nipples from working out in a cotton shirt, but that was my fault.

shopping for clothes!

I am at just about 8 months out. I hate fighting my brain when I look at food. My brain says I can eat a full 9 inch dinner plate of food, and room for seconds. My stomach says keep it to a cup buddy, or I'll tell you why you can't!

I also hate my brain telling me I am still fat when I look in the mirror. I know I am not the way I used to be - but I see only the body flaws.

Not being able to drink with my meals.  I knew this was going to be a hard one and it is.

I still feel fat.  I still move around like I am fat.
My swim coach mentioned this to me the other day.  She said you still move like you are 400 pounds.  I guess I still don't have the comfort of being in the new body yet.

My BM's are fine, I go twice a day with no problem and usually Type 3 on the Bristol chart. I do drink tons of green tea which helps a lot with digestion though.

It's weird because post-op I can eat just about anything (in moderation of course) except for a cheese burger. I will get filled up after just a few bites. What I wouldn't give to just get a regular cheeseburger in once in a great while.

Other than that it has been nothing but a blessing!

Had the same problem with pasty stools. Proctologist told me to take Metamucil once a day. Taht's been helping for the last week. Your mileage may vary.

My number 1 problem is GAS!! Yuck, I take both Devrom and Beano every fricking day and I still fart a lot!!
