For the first time in the 2 months after surgery I had the explosive runs. Only because I ate something my stomach did not agree with. My issue, don’t know if it’s an issue, everyday I take massive poops, the type that it snakes and hard to flush. I keep repeating to myself “oh no, not again” 😂😂. Wondering why, since I’m don’t eat as much, and where is all THAT comes from.

It’s been 2 months since I had surgery..at 5e first month the best news I received was that my A1C was at prediabetic #. I was at 7.8% a1c before surgery, 25 days after surgery my A1c went down to 5.8%. I’m also looking forward to the summer 2022 where I can finally wear a 2 piece bikini and have a somewhat even tan. Every summer I end up looking like an Oreo cookie, dark legs, dark back and arms and extremely pale midsection.

Good luck on the procedure. I had surgery on 9/01/21, I wasn’t nervous driving to the hospital, it hit me once I got poked with the needles..at that point it was downhill, constant crying, questioning why I was doing it and wanting to just cancel it (mind you I was already on the table while all the crazy thoughts were going through my head). Once I took that deep breath and woke up in recovery I knew I had done it for ME.. a month later hearing that my A1C is near normal, reaffirmed me that this was the right decision. I wasn’t big to begin with, but diabetes was going to be the death of me. Runs in my family and no matter what and how I ate I was still on 7 different meds…

I’m new to this site. I’m 5 weeks out from gastric bypass. I was home within 24 hrs after surgery. Soon after that I was walking around with no issues. Had no pain. The only trouble I’m having is relearning how to eat, I eat too fast or don’t eat enough. Already at the solid stage, finding it hard to figure out what I can eat, if I’m eating too much or drinking too much.
