I am three weeks postop. Since merging into my 2nd phase with some mushy foods, I've been having diarrhea for 4 consecutive days. I tried going back to my first phase and even taking Imodium AD tablets to ease the pain. And yes I am getting in plenty of fluids since knowing that diarrhea causes dehydration. Not sure what to do at this time. I am walking up every morning at 6am by this uncomfortable abdominal pain. I only feel better after bowl movement of what it seemw to be water based. If anyone has experience something similar please help. I will be reaching out to my doctor on Tueaday if this persists. Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you scoutmom. Those words of encouragement are always needed. My daily protein is around 80 grams. I normally drink 1 and 1 and 1/2 of Isopure. It does me well. I will continue to track it and hope to see that scale dropping. Keep you posted. Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am 4 weeks postop. I've been working out and hitting the gym..and of course eating right. The scale seem to be not favorable at this time. My weight loss is at a stall. My dietitian and surgeon said not to worry but I don't understand why is taking this long. I hope next month isn't as bad. I continue to work out 6 days of the week. My calorie intake is 500 to 600 a day...and even with that... I don't get it. I want to believe this shall pass and people seem to also agree that this is just a phase. Hope this helps..just stay positive and never give up. Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Lakenya1986... what was your starting weight? I had mine on August 17th and I am on a stall. Starting weight was 280lbs...down to 258. But now it hasn't change although I've been active with my workouts. I fast walk about 2 miles everyday. Any suggestions? Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Tracyringo... I had the revisio as well. It seems I can drink fluids without a problem. I feel concern. Thought I should be able to feel some discomfort if I get full...but I don't. Should i ask my surgeon? Any thoughts? Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck. Keep us posted. Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Day 6 Postop....[Revision surgery from sleeve to bypass] Today I feel much better. I have to be honest the pain from VSG versus the RNY bypass is much severe at least for the first couple of days. This didn't happen to me when I was sleeved. The good part now is, I am feeling much better. No complications here. I take in my daily vitamins, get my 40 to 60 grams of protein [isopure] and my water intake is about 40 to 50ounces. To those who are in the process or will be having surgery...stay strong and think positive. The pain will go away...and by watching so many videos I think 2 to 3 weeks at most. I wi be concern if there are any complications after this period. Location: NJ Age: 37yrs Male Height: 5'11" Surgery Date: August 17th 2020 Weight at Surgery: 281lbs Weight as of today [Aug 23rd]: 269lbs Concerns: No complications. What I've Learned: 1) [emoji2211] walks for 30 minutes really help me out. 2) Rest and sip on water whenever you can. This really helps. 3) pain meds help me recover on the first 3 days and I will take them at night time purposely to sleep through the night. 4) don't compare your results to anyone on this platform. NO JOURNEY IS THE SAME...and every body metabolic system works different and their gastroenterology works different. Will post again once I go into my 2nd phase of my eating diet.

Hi RichelleGetsFit0309, Hang on there. The first three nights for me were hell. So much pain and I couldn't sleep well if it wasn't for the narcotics. I AM ON MY DAY 4 postop and feeling better. The pain on the lower left side seems to be the worse out of all 5 incessions made. I been in liquid diet and I can't wait to have some real solid food. Is not easy, but will get better. Stay strong.

Hi Steph5333, Same here, I am 4 days postop and was discharged 2 days after surgery. Once at home, pain from ny belly button and my right side increased. My doc tells me the first two weeks this is normal. Who knows. Keep me posted and I hope we both get a speedy recovery. I just want to be able to sleep and walk without any pain.

Hi Kristy, Same here. Just got mine done on Aug 17th. Today is my 4th day postop. Nonprobl3ms except the gas. Is painful and so discomforting. My doc tells me the first 2 or 3 weeks are always the hardest. Sleeve was nothing compared to the Bypass. With the sleeve I barely felt any postop pain. Now with this one I feel so bloated and sleepy. Stqy in touch and bewtbof luck. Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi cwtwoman7...how soon does it go away? My bad is a low rise bed and I'm worried once I'm discharged of the pain st home. Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have a lot of pain and I think is from the gas. I only been burping. The nurse is giving me a pain killer but said I will be discharged tomorrow. Not sure if at home I will be any better. Any suggestions? Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

RichelleG3tsFit309...how are managing? Any pain? Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app

1st day postop...my doctor wants me to stay one more night to be sure the pain subsides. The staff here has been extremely friendly which makes even better. I got the white liquid test this morning and no signs of any leaks. However, although the liquid wasn't bad, it trigger a bell pain that was unbearable. Got back to my room and gave me a anti-inflammatory and pain meds which knocked me right out. I did walk once I woke up. Now my nurse order me my late lunch: beef broth, crystal lite drink..with a 8oun of water. So far no problems except the pain from this morning's liquid test. Also, I've been burping all the air from the surgery. Thought it was going to be gas, but it isn't. Also, the nurse measures how much and how many times you pee. This is also a big indicator for them to know that you are doing fine. Hope this helps. Can't wait to go back home. Good luck to all for this week.

I had a revision to bypass. Lost weight but dialted my stomach which caused me to eat regular meals as with my same stomach. Got my revision today. Feels great and hoping to see great results. Best of luck. But highly recommending you to get a revision. Sent from my SM-N975U using BariatricPal mobile app
