I haven't been sleeved yet, but I suffer with IBS and the surgeon says there should be no issue with being sleeved.

I have IBS and have been sleeved for 11 months. I have not had a single flare up since I had surgery. I think because we are very regulated on what we should eat, that I am not eating the stuff that would have set me off in the past. I have been very surprised actually.

I am a month post op and have had a couple ibs issues. My doc said the sleeve doesn't fix ibs but some find it easier to control after surgery bc, as others have said, you're less likely to eat trigger foods. For me it's more about stress though, so I do still have issues.

I don't know if I have it? I have a bm usually runny (tmi) sorry about 30 min after I eat and it's color (tmi again) is not 'normal' but rather yellowish---- have it it forever mentioned to dr's but no one seems to care lol

Even after 2oz of egg or cheese I'm still doing it --- is that ibs? Do u take meds? Anything I can do or what type if dr do I go to

It could quite possibly be IBS but it also could be caused by an allergy to something you are eating regularly. It could be a dairy thing. I am 10 months out and I have a similar problem when I have dairy. If you are really concerned you need to sit down with your primary care physician and make him/her hear your concerns. That is what they are there for.

      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.
