My doc says no and is supposed to be sending me a list of Fiber foods that bind. Hope that works...

Can't you take kopectate? I'd be begging by now! Poor girl!!

I would give anything to be constipated: (

For the last six weeks I have had diarrhea every day 6-10 times per day. It hurts. It always feels like I've been punched in the stomach. It always takes 30_45 mins to go. My job is getting mad at me because I'm away from my desk so much and getting behind on my work because of it. They are threatening to fire me.

I wish I could trade with u and give u a break for a bit. 7 weeks out and nothing really seems to make me go. Have u had bowel issues like ibs before? Stay hydrated cause I'm sure that's very taxing on your system.

Oh no! That's terrible! Six weeks! An they are only going to send you fiber info to bind?? That seems like a long time to have that with pain' date=' maybe you need a second opinion?? Hope it gets better. What about cheese? That always plugs me up! As far as your work, can you get a medical excuse and that way they can't take action due to laws against termination stemmed from illness??? Praying everything works out for you![/quote']

I'm going to see my pcp tomorrow about depression and to see what he says about the constant diarrhea. I think maybe it's ibs? I don't know. I want to try to maybe apply for fmla but my doctor has to confirm I'm suffering from a debilitating issue, which from talking with his office, they have no intention on saying that. That is why I'm going to see my pcp. I have a lot of minor medical issues I have never really complained of so I feel I deserve to complain about this one. I have a very very fast paced demanding job all while living with osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, high heartrate, low blood pressure, depression, anxiety attacks, paranoia, hypoglycemia, prediabetic, acid reflux, eczema, ocd, and dead nerves on my left side. I can't feel my left leg and some fingers on my left hand. Just add ibs to the list. I have never tried to miss work for all my aches and pains but this is my last straw sitting on the toilet half the day. I know many others are worse off than me. I just don't want to lose my job...

I've noticed that quite a bit of you all are able to eat chili or salsa' date=' did it not irritate your stomach? My dr had said not to eat chili or things like that because it could cause irritation, I love chili and salsa and miss it[/quote']

Wendy's chili has been my saving grace... I buy one and it lasts about six meals... it doesn't irritate my stomach at all... I've also added salsa to an egg with no problems

Yum! I need to try the Wendy's chili, I've been putting drops here and there of salsa and so far it's been sitting well :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
