I have had issues with diarrhea since my surgery. I am going for a colonoscopy and endoscopy on Thursday. I am 13 months post op.

I had problems with constant diarrhea- then increased my carbs a little and it has lessened. Not fruits btw-did plenty of those-but complex carbs.

I have a stabbing pain in my gut and have narrowed it down to green onions. Before I figured it out I just laid on the bed in the fetal position til it passed ... Horrible

No sickness, discomfort or pain. Diagnosed with an ulcer at the anastomosis at about one year out. No pain or symptoms other than slight anemia. Follow-up test picked up a little blood in the stool. Endoscopy confirmed the ulcer. Surgeon increased my Prevacid from one capsule a day to two. Second endoscopy four months later and the ulcer was completely healed. Ulcers are not an uncommon complication following bypass but, more often than not, they respond well to treatment.

      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.
