4 days post op and was doing great. This morning the diarrhea started and I have been keeping the floor hot between here and the bathroom. Not doing much when I am there, gas and small amounts of bm. I finally gave up and took Imodium but it has only provided limited relief. Should I be worried about this? Could it be the over abundance of artificial sweetener in the crystal light, sf jello etc? :confused1: I just want to sleep wahhhhhh I am literally pooped.

I've had a few, but then again, to few to mention..(Think Sinatra and Elvis did the song too) Could not resist, that song has been running through my head since I first saw the post lol

reminds me of sweating to the oldies lol

As you lose weight that estrogen stored in fat is released. I think it could cause a major hormone alert lol

Yes but where else can we discuss these delicate issues lol The constant going to the bathroom has ended but I am still having a round or two with it every 2 days or so. I'm thinking pain meds. Or it could be my body getting even, who knows lol

I have been reading a lot of posts but this is my first time posting. I am having the VSG on August 11. I am so very excited! :drool5: I am hoping that in a few months I can get rid of this fat woman that swallowed :scared0: me and I will once again recognize the person in the mirror. I have not been a "normal" weight since childhood but since menopause, diabetes II and a few medications that helped it along, I have quite literally ballooned. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and becoming a part of the support network here. Barb

TRicare Prime approved, Wright Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio will be doing the surgery. I do live in the area though. Have you checked into Whiteman AFB in Missouri?

I am getting a bullet before surgery but I also p[lan on buying a shaker cup. They are inexpensive and may work better on some of the powders.
