IBS and the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Anyone suffering from IBS have the sleeve? I have either Constipation gas and bloating or diarrhea ALL the time due to sensitive and irritable bowels. TMI I know sorry, but I wanted to see if anyone with the sleeve has the same and how their IBS is after the sleeve?

Mine cleared up but I also follow a strict diet..I hate to mention this and I don't know what your plan is or anyone else but I havnt had a salad since my sleeve I'm 10 months out and I am also off all processed foods, wheat etc..I suffered ibs going back and forth and its completely stopped and I eat raw pecans daily the past few months I even stopped my script for ibs..no bloating here. I also don't drink cow or soy milk..the greassfed cheese and yogurt doesn't bother me..

Great question. I could have wrote your post. I had my gall bladder out 5 years ago and have had ibs since then. I wondered too how the sleeve would affect me.

I had horrible IBS before surgery. Totally gone now post surgery. I think over eating was 99% to blame and of course, eating the wrong foods. I am now a year out and can happily report that diarrhea explosions, excess bloating and gas are a thing of the past! ????

Good evening,

I'm not sure what's going on but since my surgery in March I've been irregular and I'm trying all types of Fiber foods.Because prior to my surgery, I was diagnois with diverculitis in 2012 so I have to stay regular and now I'm starting to get nervous. I don't want that to act up because that's a whole another problem that I just don't want to deal with it. Is anybody else constantly constipated?...LOL

BXB26 - do you take an Iron supplement? If so, it may be (in part) to blame. Traditional iron supplements are notorious for causing Constipation. My dietitian specifically told us to buy Ferrous Gluconate (a type of iron) which doesn't cause constipation. I found it tricky to find as most are just marked "Iron." I had to ask the pharmacist at the drug store to find it on the shelf for me. Also remember that you are eating very little food at this point. There isn't much to dispose of at this point. Trust me, things will get moving along in time!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
