6 days till I start my pre-Op Diet. Surgery is Dec. 19th...

My question is... I have severe IBS, I would say my stomach hurts 70% of the time. There is no one things that sets it off. Does anyone else have IBS? If so, how did you do after surgery?

My neurologist said that the sleeve would not correct the IBS but it would decrease the discomfort tremendously! However, I have not been able to find any information on-line to back up his statement. It does make sense, changing your diet and decreasing food intake.

Before surgery I had horrible IBSD and had bad stomach days 5-6 days a week to the point where I had a hard time even going out with my family or friends due to the pain and all. Since surgery i have had only maybe three bad stomach days, and even with that it only lasted a few hours and not the whole day. My surgery was 14 months ago. I have said more then once that even if I hadn't lost any weight the surgery was worth it for the relief I have gotten from the IBS. I will say I have seen posts from others who have not had IBS improvements, but for me it has been a miracle.

I have IBS too. I had surgery November 8, 2016 and my stomach is going crazy! I haven't noticed any relief. I contacted my surgeon and he said I cannot take anything to help keep me regular. I'm to the point I'm afraid to leave the house because I'm spending so much time in the bathroom. However, I have read a lot of people to get relief. I'm hopeful this is just a phase.

      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.
