    What happened?

    I have no idea what could be causing your runny stools. But keep an eye on it sometimes change can trigger all sorts of reactions, but dont hesitate to contact your dr if it persists , though fat did cause this once when i had pureed avacado on puree stage.

    Lettuce

    How far out and how much did you eat? Chicken avocado egg and bacon, and your sure it wasnt possibly you ate too much food that gave you the chest pain ?

    What if I get sick before surgery?

    Think about it this way, surgery has a risk of infection anyway, would they let you go through surgery already having an infection which means your body will be more vulnerable? People do sometimes get preventtive iv antibiotics on day of surgery, but i mean if you actually are sick or have a temp surgery will not usually go ahead. i have heard horror stories of people who lied about having a throat inffection brought there temp down themself before going in and ended up with alot of problems. but your dr wouldnt just give them to you unless he felt you needed it so dont worry yet speak to your surgeon too as he may want to do something keep your fluids up i dont know anythign about your health concerns and things you mentioned about medical stuff so cant help

    Recommended Nutrition @ 8 weeks

    Mine is the same as you described, I did not think many others did, I do track 4 ounces when I am at home to make sure I am in check but just eat a bite or two when im out .

    Keto diet for regain??

    Your having issues being compliant. I would quite soda continuesly. Also try going back to the plan you're team gave you. Keto works but not for chopping and changing.
  11. After suffering all weekend. I ended up in the emergency room. With pain. I have had a blood gas and there is infection in my blood stream. We are waiting for further bloods. I have quite a severe infection somewhere in my stomach. I'm not sure if its sepsis yet. I've been admitted. And waiting for the surgical team to see me as they think it's my gallbladder infected? Or something. I thought it might be my gallbladder but I was embarrassed to come in incase it was gas. I've been feeling so Ill but thought with a sleeve and not eating much I thought I'm 11 weeks in and just getting used to things. I need to not be hard on myself. I've been crying doubled over in pain all weekend. But kept thinking I'm just being silly. As soon as I got Here they brought me straight in and gave me morphine. The consultant Dr even said I had a high pain threshold when I was getting the blood gas done so she said I should have come straight in as I was crying it was that bad Anyone notice anything out the ordinary always go in. I have fluids in my drip. Waiting for iv antibiotics. On the positive I still love my sleeve my blood pressure was normal today! ( I used to Suffer from high bb that would be even worse if I'm in pain or in Hosp. The consultant asked me why I had a sleeve I said " because I was fat " she said " you don't look fat at all!! Well I suppose you were 11 weeks ago " its nice to not look as fat.

    Sleeved Twice??

    She actually said she doesn't eat. Must of gained 61lbs on air, you know how fattening air can be when you gulp it in with a burger in your hand, its the air not the burger.

      How are you doing now? I see you are still in the hospital. Are you feeling any better? Have they figured out what is going on with your bowels? ((hugs)) Saying prayers for you, friend.

      Hi Fluxy! Nice to hear from you! The cholonoscopy and biopsy still has not been done as i am still inflamed so all they have been doing is treating me with antibiotics in iv as a preventitive measure, pain killers in iv and iv fluids , till they can do the other tests ive been on alot of other meds i cant keep up with lol im feeling alitltle better sometimes but weak, thanks so much for checking on me!!

      how are you when is your op? your so prepared !

      Gosh, I hope they "get to the bottom" of this quickly! :( Could it in any way be exacerbated by whey protein isolate drinks? I hope you start feeling better and are able to rebuild energy soon!!! :460_circus_tent:

      I'm doing good. Trying to focus on getting my blood pressure under control. I'm not in a lot of stress and have lost 50lbs, but my BP was up to 160/100 last week--so now I'm on 3 BP meds--:angry:. Go figure. Right? I think getting healthy is killin me and you. :) :blink: I don't yet know when surgery will be. I thought it was going to be around end of November, but insurance changed and now I may have to do 6 fricken months instead of the original 3. *sigh* Will know more after my next visit with the surgeon at the end of October. Who knows, maybe they will speed it up cuz of the BP thing? :)
