Of poop. I had diahrea so bad that I couldn't make it all the way from the living room to the bathroom. What a huge mess - thank God for my hubby! He cleaned up everything by the time I was done...

I suppose it's bound to happen. There's a moment when you just totally forget your stomach is so small and you're thirsty. You just take a few good, solid drinks of water and then you go, OH NO. ...

So, I've never had a problem taking pills. I've always taken a whole handful at night and more in the AM. I'm following my drs. instructions very carefully, and from DAY 1 after surgery - he's got me taking my pills - including vitamins, calcium, pre

These first 10 days after surgery have been kinda rough. I ended up back in the hospital very early on Weds. AM with lots of blood in my bowel movement. Scared me good! But, after keeping e in ho...

So, I'm home from the hosp. yesterday and after they pumped me full of fluids, I felt like Oh... I won't show any weight loss for another week or so - and my Dr. agreed. This morning I wake up from a really good night's sleep - (first time I've slept

I paged my Dr. and I'm waiting to hear back, but I just had a bowel movement that had some blood in it. Do I wait for the dr. to call back, or do I just dial 911 and go? No fever, feel ok otherwise.

RNY was a week ago. I'm hungry. I had 1/2 c. pureed tuna for lunch - my first real food (measured before the puree part). It was delicious. I got a feeling of hunger while making it up and then had to poop - I've had the runs since. I suppose that

So, last night I was feeling awful. Couldn't fart, tummy rumbling constantly, sipping and feeling like the cup wasn't getting any emptier. So I just had an emotional dump too - what the heck. I ...

I haven't even been home from hosp. 24 hrs and he's done everything possible for me. From making sure I'm drinking and walking to cleaning up my messy butt. I couldn't have asked for better! I still feel very weak and sore, and cranky. If I move w

Actually more like the losers bed right now. I did get up and walked a few feet last night. Urine output is low but Dr said not to worry about it.

OK, who's had their procedure done via robotics? My surgeon just called to ask if I'd be willing to have my RNY done this way on Monday. He said he is trained in this and feels confident with it. He's done 1 other, so I'd be the 2nd one at this hos

I've been fussing over coming up with my facebook status prior to my surgery, and I want to be sure to 'get it right'. I want it to be honest, positive, and word it in a way that makes it clear I'm not asking for their opinion, just their support. (A

I tried some samples and so far I love the taste of all of them. But, who knows how I will feel after surgery.... I haven't bought any big tubs of it yet, (it's kind of expensive) but I really like that it has vitamins in it, and I figured that will

I've got a little over 3 weeks till my RNY, and I'm worried about getting constipated soon after surgery I know getting in as much water as possible will help, but what else can I do? I'm scared that I'll strain too much and pop some staples or somet

I'm looking at my bottle of sugar free Mrs. Butterworth's syrup, and it contains 8 grams of Sugar Alc. I think I've heard that sugar alcohols are just like sugar, but I'm confused! I'm sort of counting on this working with Eggface's ricotta pancakes

It feels like these 6 months have passed so quickly. I initially thought it would take sooooo long to get here, and then feared that something would happen and it would all be a waste of time. Well, it's working out! I'm still afraid I'll lose my in

Well, I thought it would be long, slow journey, but the 6 months of dietitian visits and all the other testing went smoothly. Next step is an ultrasound and some other testing. Anybody else have a pre-surgery ultrasound done? Hadn't heard of that pa

I'm just trying to figure things out. I have my initial appt. on July 14th and I want to start getting adjusted to this now. I just saw that redplum.com has a coupon for the Premier Protein Shakes - it's $4 off. Is that a good deal? I'm thinking I'
