christina923 3 Posted June 12, 2014 I had surgery on June 2. I have so much pain. It's all digestive. There is so much cramping. I have diarrhea, but it feels like constipation! Ugh! Anyone else out there with similar issues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christina923 3 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I go tomorrow to see surgeon. I thought this was all normal, so I didn't even call until yesterday. The nurse seems concerned. She was.going to have me come in today for tests, but the scheduler told her to just keep my appt. Im not vomiting and don't have a fever so the nurse was ok with waiting the extra day. I am on full liquids. I don't feel like eating for drinking much of anything though! I have to choke down shakes. I have a hard time drinking even close to the amount I'm suppose to. 4 days ago I was thinking I could eat something, now I feel nauseous at the smell of food.

christina923 3 Posted June 12, 2014 I'm scared! I hear so many horror stories and I honestly thought I would be fine! God I hope I don't have a leak!!!! I'm so scared! Before I had surgery I was so excited and really wish I would have listened to my friends and family who thought this was a bad idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swimbikerun 1,046 Posted June 12, 2014 Speaking as one of the horror stories does it help when I tell you GET THE SURGERY! I'd have people lined up 6 days a week if I could put them through it. Diabetes first, then any one with sleep apnea, high blood pressure that's overweight ... Look gang a problem is a problem. I'm at least enjoying being thin. I have memories that I wouldn't have had without the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I could figure this out soon! it hasnt even been 3 weeks! i was still puking every time i put anything in my stomach at 3 weeks! stay on purees as long i you need. i was supposed to be on puree until week 5. then soft food for another 4 weeks. glad you are feeling better, but be patient! you'll get there.

christina923 3 Posted June 20, 2014 I know! By food, I mean different flavors of cream Soups, cottage cheese, yogurt, and mashed potatoes. I usually feel fine, but I think I'm pushing it sometimes. My doc says introduce soft chopped at 4 weeks. I wouldnt even know where to begin!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
