I was cleaning and i picked up something and went to put it on the floor. As i sat it down i heard popping noises from my stomach. immediately following i had the craziest urge to use the bathroom. and omg it was the most horrible thing i smelled before. now i am light headed and nauseous. Should i be worried. I called the doc and i am waiting for a call back. Has this happened to anyone before.

Wow - wish I had something to tell you - no idea what that was - a call to the doctor was the right thing - let us know how you are and what the doc says.

Doesn't sound good. I don't want to speculate but I will pray. If yoou do not get a return call, call them back and then the next step would be the ER.

Praying that all is well.

Are you saying you heard pop, pop, pop from kinda far inside? Did it hurt under your ribcage? When you had to go, was it solid, either followed by mushy or liquidy or gas?

If no pain you may have just pushed a bit of a blockage, er, on through. It could really smell bad because it's mostly protien.

If it were really multicolored, mucousy etc it could be a bigger problem. The pop could be an infection opening up - like a diberticulitis cyct - which means your infection drained, but now you have to deal with that.

Hope all is well. If you are running a fever or your tummy hurts you should def not wait on your doctor. Don't wait too long anyway or you will end up in an after hour clinic at alot more expense.

it was a Blockage of poop. (embarrassing) and when I bent over It moved lol. and they said the Light headedness and nausea was just coincidental. But I feel ok thank you guys. I was worried I popped the incisions. Breathing easier

I am suprised they told u the lightheadedness was coincidental - moving a blockage can do that.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
