2 Weeks Out - Anoyone else struggle with digestive issues?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on March 29th & thankfully all went well. However, late in my second week I noticed that the juices and broths were no longer agreeing with me. I had to run to the bathroom shortly after drinking them.

Yesterday, I began pureed foods with the hope that my digestive issues would end. Unfortunately, I literally have to go to the bathroom after everything i eat & even after I drink Water. I felt discomfort in my intestinal area all day long.

I called the doctor on call at my surgeon's office & went over my symptoms. He said that some rare patients have a reaction to all the fluids & that my system is most likely trying to re-adjust. I'm keeping an eye on it. And I seem to feel a bit better today. Although, I'm still making way more trips to the bathroom than I'd like. The doctor also said I could take some immodium if it continues.

Did anyone else experience a similar issue? Do you have any insight from your personal experience that might help?

Thanks!

Well, that doesn't sound like fun. I hope you get more feedback and feel better very soon. As a sleeve pre-op, I have no experience, but wish you well. Congrats on a successful surgery. Sorry to hear about your uncomfortable digestive issues. It's sound like you and your doc are on top of things, so hopefully it will be resolved soon.

I started having issues with milk/lactose which I never had before. You might want to check what you're eating/drinking...

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
