Please Help!

Can any one help me out there, I had my bypass Aug. 2014 and had 2 set backs, both from the Aug. Every time I stood up I collapsed or went very dizzy, this took the hospital till Dec. before they fond that my legs just had stop holding blood when I stood up, now I am on a tablet for life to allow me to stand up. Now the second problem also from Aug, I have been complaining about Diarrhoea and this has just got worse, at the start the doctors said it was my body readjusting after being plumbed, but now it is getting worse, there is no infection showing on a staging test but after the breath test they have found a large Bacterial Overgrowth in my new small stomach and my small intestine. I have small amount of control now but very little via. tablets, awaiting a new set of specialists.

I would still have had the op as I have lost over 51/2 stone so far but I am, apart from doctor/hospital apartments I am very worried about going out, has anyone else had or could offer any help.

Just in case anyone is looking at this and thinking about going for the op. this set of side effect I have been told, at my hospital, Salford Royal (Hope) around Manchester, HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN LIKE THIS TOGETHER OR THIS BAD BEFORE. SO PLEASE STILL HAVE THE OP.

I just am looking for any support out there please.

I feel so bad for you but admire your determination and your good outlook. I haven't had my surgery yet so I can't really help. {{{hugs}}}

      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.
