Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 glad your dr is working with you, and that you are feeling, at least a little, better... jb-bb wrote: OK...so I think I'm starting to feel better. Not great, but better. The pain in my left side is not as bad as it was and I did have a brief visit to the bathroom this morning. I'm going to the doctor AGAIN this afternoon. He really thinks I'm dealing with irritable bowel syndrome and that indeed it is gas that has been trapped in the " old tummy " . He got me started on some stool softeners and a prescription for something called Bentyl...anybody ever hear of it....it's suppose to, I guess, relax the bowels. I don't know. I just know that I do seem to be feeling a bit better today and that is what I'm sticking with. I know I'm never going to be able to catch up on all that's been going on here for the past couple of weeks, so I'm not even going to try. So for everyone who had good things happening, CONGRATULATIONS, I'm so happy for you. And for anyone who's been stressed or sad, I send you my SYMPATHIES and my thoughts are with you. OK, so that was a pretty pathetic attempt at sincere thoughts, but what the heck. I tried. LOL Today is a pot luck at work. I brought meatballs. Of course I probably won't be able to eat them or much of anything else as nothing has really been agreeing with me the past week. I think I've done more barfing this week than I did at the beginning of my surgery. You'd think I'd have lost a ton of weight wouldn't ya. But nooooooooooooooooo, I'm so " backed up " that the scale isn't moving. And I haven't been getting to the gym and have basically been a lump. And Christmas is Saturday and I'm not done shopping yet. Looks like I'll be doing what I hate doing most. Shopping on Christmas Eve. Oh well, as long as I feel ok, I don't care. I don't have much left to buy anyway. Just a few stocking stuffer items really. OK, so that is my pathetic life in a nutshell. I really need to get out more and have fun. I'm beginning to sound like my mother, rest her soul wherever she wound up. I'm going to try my best to keep up with you all here but for now, I have to get back to work before the party starts and I get out of here early. Have a happy day!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Hi , I am so happy to hear that you are doing better! Please update us with what your doctors said yesterday. Don't worry about your weight sticking -you can fix that when you get better. Sounds like a few visits to the bathroom will fix it anyway! Just in case you where thinking of going to the gym (in between shopping trips, LOL!), they are closed today and will also be closed next Friday. Take care and have a fun Holiday. Carol It's Thursday - Who am I??? LOL OK...so I think I'm starting to feel better. Not great, but better. The pain in my left side is not as bad as it was and I did have a brief visit to the bathroom this morning. I'm going to the doctor AGAIN this afternoon.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Steph I have a coworker who takes Bentyl and it helps with the stomach pains she has (she hasn't had WLS just has a weird tummy) Please take care of yourself and feel better!
