Hello. I had my surgery on December 23. Today officially makes one month and I'm introducing foods. But mainly eat Protein and vegetables. This is a little personal but I need help. I go to the bathroom all day. It's embarrassing. What can I do to slow this down? Honestly. Getting dressed to go to a function has my visiting the restroom 4times within the hour. Help?!?! Sorry for the details.

I wish I could relate. First....pee or poop? If it's peeing, good! Water is flushing the fat out of your tissue. I don't drink enough that's my problem. I pee two maybe three times a day.

I'm with you.... Well, sorta. For the last twelve years I've had what I can only think of as dumping syndrome, only I didn't have the surgery to go with it and it doesn't have to be high sugar or high fat food to send me scrambling to the bathroom hoping I make it. I dont go nearly as often as you, I only go right after I eat but that's often enough for me lol. Have you noticed if it's right after you eat or drink that you have to go? No doc has ever been able to figure mine out, I've just learned to deal and hope it gets better after surgery. I wish I could offer you some pointers, just try not to eat or drink heavily if you are in public or not close to a restroom. That's my only real trick. Talk to your Doc as soon as you can, hopefully he can get you straight again. It's possible that you are not getting enough of one nutrient or another, or even to much of something. Maybe try logging your foods for a few days in a tracker that counts different Vitamins and nutrients, see if you have a deficit or abundance of something. Spark people. Com has a great tracker that tracks just about everything under the sun if you tell it to. Good luck, hope it all comes out in the end (bad pun intended lol) ????

      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.
