Before surgery my diabetes pills (metformin) always made my tummy upset and I’d have to run to the restroom several times a day. I would take phone calls for a business and sometimes I’d get the urge in the middle of a call and have to disconnect and bolt to the restroom. At first I would refuse to go to the bathroom on the same floor that I worked on and would go to the first or second floor but it got to the point where I knew I wouldn’t make it so I’d just go on the floor I worked on. I would flush the toilet as I was going to make myself feel less embarrassed about it lol. After surgery I don’t have that issue I’ll get dumping syndrome without the “dumping” but I also take the BariatricPal prenatal Vitamins with probiotics(a month after buying I found out there was a normal one with Probiotics but decided to stick with prenatals for the folic acid and b12). My mother(had rny also) still has to bolt to the restroom frequently. Hopefully it gets better or goes away soon!

I have a bacterial infection called C.diff picked up at the hospital. I'm on antibiotics so hopefully it will fully clear up soon.

      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.
