@carlissarn.... Diarrhea does not seem to be a frequent complaint on here.... Do you think this is all a bad reaction to the anesthesia?

Sorry your having a rough day again.

It can be a reaction to the swallow test contrast solution. Also, some of the other meds they give like antibiotics, but especially the contrast if you have a swallow test. Also, the first week I was pretty sensitive to any fat.

It's not like Its constant diarrhea. About 3 times per day but it wipes me out all over again and then I gotta build back up again. I'm feeling a bit better. Heck this is hour to hour, not day to day with me.

5 weeks out and I can tell you that loud stomach noises are normal. When I drink or eat, I hear noises and feel brief cramping, nothing really painful. And I did have some diarrhea days early on. Sounds like everything is normal for you! You are doing great!

Carlissa_rn I was sleeved 5-25 and was sick as a dog. Actually never seen a dog as sick as I felt. Surgeon almost kept me extra day because I was throwing back up fluids. Convinced him that I was ok to go home. Very tired and yes very giggly stomach and can still feel liquids going down intestines. Yes I also have fluids especially Jello go straight through me. It is very exhausting. I am just trying to get up and move and stay close to my house for rest room.

I agree with others that I was killing myself with my obesity so taking this step was a positive move.

The things that you seem to be experiencing now are things that I am experiencing also. I think all is ok with me just my body getting used to a new stomach

Good luck. Sending out positive vibes your way.

My whole family is in the pool, the cook out smells soooo good and I'm still laid up in the bed. It hurts so much to move in my left abdomen, where the stomach was removed. Very very painful there.

@carlissa, are your Italian ice sugar free? If not, that may be contributing to your diarrhea. About the loud burpy/stomach noises...completely normal. I am 10 weeks post op and I have the gurgling, burpy feeling and sounds all the time, esp. When I'm full or have eaten/drank too much, but sometimes for no reason. Lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
