Man after surgery I have something new to talk about everyday lol. Seriously though I am way too prissy for diarrhea all the time. I get the urge and I just wanna cry cos I'm so grossed out by my body right now. Gas was disturbing enough and now diarrhea?? How do people ever feel sexy after surgery if they are constantly blowing ass and pooping brown water... Not cool folks.

Enjoy it while you can, the next phase is likely to be months of Constipation. :(

You may never be normal again in that area. Almost 2 years out and now I deal with Constipation most of the time bc of all the Protein I eat. The amount of fruits and veggies are small compared to the amount of protein so I can't seem to get myself regular. I will take it, though. Much better than being overweight!

Ha!!! Well, look at it as calories out! ;) make sure you don't get dehydrated from it though.

I'm the complete opposite (and a bit concerned now), I'm seven days post op and haven't had any movement at all!!! Just gas, no urge to go.

I'm scared of dehydration all together cos I can't ever drink enough and whatever I do drink I drizzle out 2 minutes later, yuk. I didn't go for 5 days and now I can't stop. Have you talked to your dr? Maybe you should take a liquid Fiber supplement if you're allowed to or a laxative. I'm sorry you're having trouble but I'd rather not poop at all then have a raw ass from pooping too much :)

I'm like 20 months out. Couldn't be more normal in this area. When you get through this tough initial phase, you will be "regular" again.

SarSar, how much Protein are you consuming each day? As I recently posted on another thread, the purpose for me getting sleeved was so I didn't HAVE to be on any specialized diets anymore. Throughout the day I ensure I get a balance of nutrients and liquids. Well balanced meals are our goal ... not another diet ...

Right?

It is better then being fat but it still sucks. My sister has had constipation problems since she had her kids, she drinks Kangan Water and it keeps her regular.

Totally agree. Everyone keeps talking to me about diets and I'm thinking um no I'm not doing a diet. I'll make sure I'm not eating junk constantly but if I want some every now and then I'm not gonna feel guilty about it. A balanced diet of everything is what I'm going for not the Atkins diet which is high Protein, low carb.

This has been my exact philosphy the last 20 months. I dropped 120 pounds in 8 months (I exercised like crazy, though, too) and have had no problems maintaining at my goal weight, which is actually lower than my original goal weight, but my body had other plans. I just went with it.

Congratulations, that's awesome. I think everybody has such different bodies that 1 diet won't work for everyone. It's not a one fits all. I think some people have to watch carbs and Protein to lose weight and some people just have to watch calories intake. For me, anytime I've ever lost weight in the past I would just lower my calorie intake but still ate whatever I wanted and even though I gained the weight back once I started eating more I think It will be easier to mange with my new sleeve.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
