Has anyone, who suffered with occasional flair ups of diverticulitis, had one since you got your sleeve? I really thought I would never have one again, but here I am so painful! It's my own fault. Ordered retried Beans today at a Mexican restaurant. But, instead of being a good girl and eating them with a spoon, I dipped some chips in it! Now I lay here in so much pain! Just curious about anyone else.

I too have suffered flare-ups from diverticulitis pre-WLS and I have also had one episode post-WLS., although my last one post-WLS did not require antibiotics (it was a mild one). Both my PCP and my surgeon insist the flare ups are not caused by any particular foods.

I have. Mine was terrible. Ended up in ICU for a week with sepsis on New Year's Day this year. I was almost 2 months post op when it happened. Had another week long hospital stay beginning January 31st with it, gastritis, esophagitis, and I can't even remember what else. Surgeon wants me flare-up free and healthy for six months before he goes in to remove the bad part of my colon. I go for my next colonoscopy the first of August to see where I stand.

So sorry you have had to endure these episodes. Maybe your planned colon surgery will completely eliminate the flare-ups.

My dr always prescribes an antibiotic and something for pain. It always gives relief within 12-24 hrs. This time was no different. Thanks, all, for sharing.

      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.
