Looking for support in the Cincinnati Ohio area

I had surgery on June 2. I have so much pain. It's all digestive. There is so much cramping. I have diarrhea, but it feels like constipation! Ugh! Anyone else out there with similar issues?

I'm so excited! I feel great, my pain is non-existent, I've lost 43 pounds total SW of 254 CW of 211!! I'm ready to do this!

I haven't lost anything in over a week! I can't figure out why I'm not dropping weight! What's wrong with me! I was sleeved on June 2nd and lost about 15 the first week and a half. Now I'm completely stopped! Advice needed!

I've moved the scale 4 pounds but that's it in 2 weeks!! I don't know what else to do!!! Well my body ever catch on to this process?

Thanks!!!

I am glad to hear it's normal AND it passes! I'm excited to eat more variety without worrying about gaining!

I completely agree!! Patience sucks! I am wanting instant results too!!

My calories are around the same....but im not walking that much! I still have some left sided pain. Feels like muscular pain near incisions. I'm just too sore to really do too much.

I know! By food, I mean different flavors of cream soups, cottage cheese, yogurt, and mashed potatoes. I usually feel fine, but I think I'm pushing it sometimes. My doc says introduce soft chopped at 4 weeks. I wouldnt even know where to begin!!

Doing much better now. I definitely still get stomach pains. I am trying to add some food here and there and its proving harder than I thought!! I wish I could figure this out soon!

I feel hungry...but it's only been 2 weeks since my sleeve and I haven't figured out how to listen to my body just yet. Some of the feelings I think are just normal post op things like gas, reflux, and the such.

I had tons of bubbling and gurgling that I didn't really know what it was. I think my new pouch was processing my new stage of diet. It has gotten better. Just take it slow!!! I notice the slower I eat the better out feels. Btw...I was sleeved on June 2.

June 2nd! I am finally feeling better! Just sore and still tying to figure out a good balance of liquids and food (blended of course)

I'm scared! I hear so many horror stories and I honestly thought I would be fine! God I hope I don't have a leak!!!! I'm so scared! Before I had surgery I was so excited and really wish I would have listened to my friends and family who thought this was a bad idea!

I go tomorrow to see surgeon. I thought this was all normal, so I didn't even call until yesterday. The nurse seems concerned. She was.going to have me come in today for tests, but the scheduler told her to just keep my appt. Im not vomiting and don't have a fever so the nurse was ok with waiting the extra day. I am on full liquids. I don't feel like eating for drinking much of anything though! I have to choke down shakes. I have a hard time drinking even close to the amount I'm suppose to. 4 days ago I was thinking I could eat something, now I feel nauseous at the smell of food.

I had surgery June 2. I am having cramping and issues with diarrhea. I thought this was going to be a lot easier!!! I'm on the west side. My surgeon was Dr Kerlakian out of Good Sam weight loss management.

I'm 9 days post op and I am feeling the same! I'm sorry you feel so bad. Let's hope for the best! I go to the doctor on Friday so I hopefully get some answers!

I have same surgey date and same problem! I have been told its constipation then I explain I have had diarrhea the entire 9 days. I have an appt on Friday!! Hopefully I find out what's wrong. I feel like it's definitely something to do with my BMs but it's so painful!!!
