Sadly I am almost a year out and I still have diarrhea. No dr can give me a reason why.

Had my surgery on 3/14...but latley I am so blue. Is this normal? I feel like the best part of me was cutout right along with 80 percent of my stomach. I am adapting well to my new lifestyle and honeslty somewhat impressed with my self. Had a few bumps but caught my self real quick with the new rules. However I feel so out of sorts and and blue...to the point where I dont want to get out of bed much less anything else. Is it normal to be this blue 4 weeks out of surgery. Why I am going crazy? I thought things would be an adjustment but now I am really starting to regret my choice to get the sleeve. any ideas? I feel like I am holding on by a thread.

I have the same problem and I am 10 months post op. I was diagnosed with bile salt mal absorption aka habbas syndrome. I Stll have diarrhea episodes every day. Due to missing gal bladder and its aggrivated by morphine which I had during my hospital stay.

Since having surgery I have constant diarrhea. Some days are ok others its 6 to 7 trips of diarrhea. I at times regret it:-(

I cut out dairy products and you name it. Even protein shakes cause the issues. I am going to see my gb dr. Hope he has a clue

Has anyone gotten c-diff from the surgery?

I don't have a gall bladder either. Mine was removed 2 years prior to my sleeve. What did they tell you how to fix the issue?

Robbie I am sorry to hear about your dad. Thank you for sharing your story with me. Well all my tests are negative so now my dr says it's IBS. I am not sure why since I never had IBS before. The symtoms are pretty much the the same. So I am so frustrated because I can't go anywhere with out fear of an episode. Not sure I would have gotten the sleeve had I known I would develop IBS. No clue where to go from here. On so many meds and nothing is helping.

Thanks Kathe. Stoll sample done go see dr 7/9 for resuts to confirm

Thank you missvickee

I have had since my surgery 3/14. I can't take it anymore:(

Has anyone tried a trampoline? I am 2 months out and just found my back pain, numbness in both legs is due to issues with my L4, L5 and two things protuding from my spine. Excercise is hard and walking on days with the numbness is bad. It was suggested I try a trampoline by the PA at my doctors office. I was just wondering if anyone tried it before.

How do you like the trampoline favoredone?

She said it's less jarring on the body, but unsure. I just know I have to do something to move around.

I have been so depressed since surgery. My pcp told me that it was due to all the organic changes. He put me on viibyrd. Wow what a difference a week makes. It made so much sense once he told me it was just my body adjusting. I was blaming my self and hating my sleeve but not anymore;) hang in there.

How can I tell if i have over ate. I am out 5 weeks and eating a little more. But tonight I feel odd. I want throw up but can't. Help! Please

Mews, I think I undereat to avoid the full feeling, the two times I have over eaten... All I could think of was I was going to get that horrible pain I was use to with my lap band.

Turkey and chicken were cold cuts, the low sodium fat free kind. It was on my foods to eat before I went to regular food at 6 weeks.

At 5 weeks a mixture of mushies and turkey and chicken. I am at 7 going on 8 weeks.

I have Bern so good about not over eating until yesterday. I over ate again and I went to the mall and walked and walked. I was distracted while eating and had not realized how much I had already eaten. Lesson learned.

I stopped weighing my self and just followed the program. Lost another 5 pounds. Six weeks total weight loss is 25lbs. Slow losing but losing inches:) thanks for the support;)

Ok guys haven't lost anything since 4 weeks ago. One week I gained 4 lbs and then lost it. Now back to the first twenty pounds. Frustrated.

I am in SA;)

thank you for all help

Found a website that sells protein hot chocolate. Anybody try them? Are they good?
