I also don't drink cow or soy milk..the greassfed cheese and yogurt doesn't bother me.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HopeandAgony 566 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited April 29, 2015 by HopeandAgony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluesea71 698 Posted April 29, 2015 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! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BXB26 3 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited April 30, 2015 by BXB26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesea71 698 Posted April 30, 2015 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
