Well, the juice to ceviche is a citrus brine mixture and I can see where it could cause diahrrea for sure. Dumping syndrome is worse. A friend who had gastric bypass describe it to me when I asked her, back when I was considering GB surgery for myself. She said that sweets are a likely trigger for dumping and what happened to her was she ate a piece of birthday cake (with all that gooey butter cream frosting) and in a very little while had to rush to the bathroom and literally everything in her digestive tract came out. Undigested food, partially digested food, stuff in her colon, everything. She gave a more graphic description but let me just say "gross".

Lower left side of your belly area? Not much there to hurt (appendix, gallbladder, etc are on the right side), so I'll ask, "how long since you were banded?" I'm nearly 3 months out and I still have periodic tenderness around my port area. Could that be the pain? Could it be ovulation pain? A lot of women are never aware of when they ovulate and then one month, they feel it. The source of the pain is something you do need to discuss with your doctor. Good luck!

I am 10 days post op and have recovered amazingly from surgery. Yesterday, I had a pain in my side that was so excruciating, I thought I was going to die...It was a stabbing pain and it only when I was in a certain position. It is gone today (thank God) but I think it was a gas pocket. Perhaps that's what yours is? I exercised like heck yesterday to make sure that if it was gas, it was gone!

I am 5 days post op and I have left side pain when I walk. I also experienced a liquid in liquid out suprise on one of my walks after I had drank some apple juice. :laugh: I have had alot more pain then I had expected and have taken alot more pain medication then I would have liked but it is getting better day by day and I still force myself to get out and walk. I have pain after eating especially if I take in too much too fast and I don't really notice until I stand up so maybe it is positional. I'm still learning how much to drink and what to drink, obviously apple juice isn't something I will be drinking anymore.

Thanks for your responses. To parrotheadCathy I did not have diarreah or vomiting. These were my symptoms..clamy, dry heaves, numbness in my fingers, dry mouth felt like my belly was going to burst. Also i did not eat ANY sweets. It was weird. My sis had the gastric bypass and she told me dumping syndrome symptoms. again thx for your answers.

Hi, I am six weeks out. However when I joined my co-workers in the power walk in the fourth or fifth week, I also got left side pain around my belly area. My port is located about 1 or 2 inches above my belly bottom, so I guess the pain was in my port area. The pain was not bad and manageable, but it was certainly very uncomfortable. We never walked last week so I don't know if I will still have tenderness around my port when I walk fast again.

      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.
