Bathroom situations



Recommended Posts

I am 4 mos post op and I have had problems with diarrhea and stomach cramps since the surgery. I keep eliminating items from my diet and the problems continue to exist. Is anyone else having this same situation? And if so, has anyone found a solution to this?

I had (and still have on occasion) the same problem...

I've found that it's when I'm having two or three Protein shakes per day...

If I have the shakes and get all my Water in I have the diarrhea problem...

If I don't get enough Water, I have the Constipation problem...

I guess there's just no pleasing our sleeven poo gods...

I am having the same problem!! GS 4/6/15 hysterectomy done by c-section 5/18/16. Besides the diarrhea I thought I had hemorrhoids. I went to the doctor because I tried everything, nothing worked I'm 95% of the time in pain!!! The dr told me I had fissures & I needed more Fiber in my diet!!! It's been a week with adding a Fiber supplement along with adding food with fiber. Still in pain very uncomfortable!!!!

I try to get in as much Protein from my diet as possible but I am still very limited in the amount of food I can consume each meal. I also can not drink the shakes, they increase the diarrhea and they have my stomach in knots. But I guess only being 4 months out today, that this will continue to be a learning process :)

I for one am looking forward to passing said poo and not having to grab the wall with my left hand and twist myself as much as possible in order to clean myself which inevitably I get all over my right hand

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
