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.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
