Having the poop issues again
I also have issues with constipation and even before surgery. After getting over almost a 2 week congestion virus I just wasn't feeling up to par so I knew I had to clean myself out! I felt like a huge toxin ball. I take lactlose liquid and it helped but I still felt constipated so I went and bought an enema! Not a good choice if you suffer from hemorrhoids! Sorry tmi but I feel your pain. I can handle ground beef but a steak is very heavy for my pouch! Good luck

Cramps
Walk walk walk!! I know it can be a pain but that's the best way to get the gas out! Also I felt the cramping was also my body adjusting to the sleeve. Good luck

Post clear liquid
I drank powerade zero, Crystal light and propel zero and water of course! It sucks but you get use to it!

2 months post op/ feeling malnutrition
Thank you so much for your concern @kindle. I feel I am getting enough carbs in my diet. I am worried about the protein though! I still have not heard anything back on my lab work. I made meatloaf last night with corn, greenbeans and au graten potatoes and I was able to finish everything! I was so happy and full, granted it did take me about 15 mins to eat all my food it was a great feeling. I was also asleep at 7pm lol.

Well I saw my dr.today and she did a uribe test and I am not dehydrated! Also did blood work to check my vitimins but no word yet on the results. She thinks I may be getting a bug that is going around but I do not feel like I am getting sick. So that's that on how I feel.

I'm seeing my PCP tomorrow so maybe she can give me some answers. I never left the hospital with a tube, did you have the sleeve?

Well I got a call back from my dietician and she said just drink fluids. She thought it sounded like I was a bit dehydrated! I also mentioned to her that I feel like I am lacking some type of nutrition,a vitamin I told her. she said all I need to take is my multivitamin and if I wanted to take a b12 I could but I don't need it! so I'm just assuming I didn't have any deficiencies before or after surgery?!? Hmmm..

Thank you I did call my pcp and will see her tomorrow morning. I'm so pissed right now that my surgeon blew me off like that! The nurse that called me mentioned that the "pain" I was having isn't due to the surgery that's why I should go to urgent care! Well duh!! I'm in no pain from the surgery I said! I'm just very neasous with no appetite, weak,tired and very thirsty!! I was thinking of going to the store and buying b12 vitimins but remembered the whole digestion thing

Well I got a call back and very disappointed that all he said was if it got worse to go into urgent care! Really!! Also they do blood work at 6 mths post op!

I haven't had any blood work since after surgery in the hospital. I'm hoping I get a call soon because I can't stand being neauseaous!

Thank you all so much for all your advice. I do feel that a multi vitamin is not enough but I do wonder why I was never put on b12 injections! I remember going into this, a friend had a VSG and also mention she had to have b12 injections. I hu honestly don't think I'm getting enough protein in my diet. Like I mentioned before, I am more thirsty than I am hungry! I've already called my doctors office this morning and patiently waiting for a call back. I also have nausea rx from after the surgery but it doesn't help me for long.
