I agree with everyone definitely call your doctor!

Just a side note, early out I too thought I was passing blood but turned out just to be dis colored because I was consuming SO much Powerade (oh my gosh that sounds so gross I'm sorry!). Reason for telling is try not to freak yet!

Problem pinpointed. I had a dumping syndrome incident hours before the blood starting to pass. It seems I've injured a portion of intestine with undigested food. It's still going on 24 hours later. I have meds now. Wish me luck and thanks for the support.

Wow! Bloody stool from dumping? This I have never heard of. What did they give you for it?

I hope it gets better for you soon.

They gave me an intestinal antispasmodic, an immotiam type drug and Probiotics. Clear Liquids for 12 hours. What a way to drop another 2 lbs! Thanks to all!

I sure hope the rest of your journey goes much better!!!! I guess this is one reason I really hesitated going to MX. Seriously thought about it but now glad I have decided to stay "home" to do this... Good luck to you and so glad you are feeling better!!!

      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.
