How are you ladies going? I searched IBS and found this thread. I am 2 months lap banded and find I am still having trouble with IBS on some days. Other days I go without passing anything at all. I have just started a food diary and am literally writing down everything I eat and all movements so that I can take it to the dietician. So frustrating, I am not celiac and have no food allergies as I have been extensively tested, however food intolerances are a whole other world of hurt. I am lacking so much energy. Any tips would be well received :)

Hi ada since I posted the thread originally I've had only two bouts of diahorrea that were very short lived (unlike the old days) and alot of days of not going at all. A very new concept to me. I also keep a food diary and have come to the conclusion its high stress/emotional states that triggered my episodes. I dodge bread, fried foods and dairy most of the time so its definatly not them. But I do get a very spastic bowel if I'm upset.. Hope you get it sorted and some improvement soon. ;)

Best wishes to you all! I tend to associate most of the problems with wheat and the by-products of same. But, even if you are not allergic or celiac, you might have intolerance for it. Our wheat is bad in the USA, because it has been so cleaned up. Best wishes to all sufferers!

Zinghy...

I also have IBS and a bit of other digestive issues. All of which cleared up right after surgery. I noticed that my IBS came back a bit and it was from the whey Proteins which are pretty much made from dairy!

I have since started taking Lactaid when I have any of those products like shakes, or bars or Protein shots and presto, no more IBS symptoms!

I also take a pro-biotic every day and I could not be happier. Like all of you I would not like to go out to eat, I would always make a mental note of where the rest rooms where when ever we went out anywhere and I would decide on events and locations based on the availability of using a restroom. I spent a lot of time through out my younger and adult life miserable and now I'm feeling AMAZING!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
