My friend had a twisted intestine that fell into the "gap" where they removed part of her intestines. She had bypass. She's been having pain and bathroom issues as well and finally couldn't take it anymore and went to ER. They flew her right away to a specialty hospital in OK to go straight into surgery. They said if she had waited 2 more hours she would have died. She worked that morning as if nothing was wrong too btw. Listen to your body and don't take chances. Don't let the dr send you away if you feel like something is wrong. Ask for another dr.

If you feel like something is wrong, don't stop telling the doctors. We know our bodies best. My friend had the same issues and they told her the only thing left to do was exploratory surgery. She so to do it and they found a twisted colon! This sounds like your only option at this point. Again, you are in my prayers and I wish you the best. Keep us posted!

      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.
