Last Saturday was not feeling well, Miralax seemed not to be working well, took Ducolax Friday night, said relief 1/2 to 6 hours , the 6 hours came and went ,2 hours I gave up and went to bed. Next morning a just a little 💩, did not feel like I was emptying out. So early afternoon , went to local hospital, figured a Milk and Molasses enema, been a month since I was there. Doctor on duty wanted an abdominal Cat Scan and some other testing.,Turns out I had ileitis, more pockets of gas than stool, and so they said let your doctor the first of the week. We think,you're pretty okay. Finally after 15 hours the darned Ducolax finally worked. At least I am not now under as much abdominal distress. My question is:
D9es this mean I might be developing Chrones or IBS? Everybody and their Aunt seems to be dropping meds, am I just developing thines as I heal? Already found out I have renal cysts, thyroid nodules, a heart murmer that's pretty mild, low Iron levels, IBS would be just the icing,on one of those cupcakes I no longer can eat! And,oh yeah, every night when I get tired, I get double vision, all I can do to type-text when I'm seeing you lines of letters and numbers. Let me know what you guys think, going to bed while I can still make out the bedroom doorway. TaTa my Bari- friends!👈😞👉

Get Well Soon and research the connection between the conditions (if there is one) with the help of your primary doctor. They may send you to a specialist.

      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.
