I have absolutely no regrets - wish I had bypass years ago.

I have struggled with Constipation since surgery on 10/13/2015. I had black tar like stools for about a week and then back to normal appearance. My surgeon said this is normal and from dried blood from surgery. For constipation I started taking Probiotics and a Fiber that contains both solvable and insoluble made by Pinnaclife called Olivimine 10 Max Prebiotic Fiber. This regime seems to be helping.

I have surgery 10/13 and bought a wedge pillow hoping it will keep me mostly on my back and help me in getting out of bed. It was only $20 at Walmart.< /p>

Check out the Bariastic app. It's free and designed for Bariartic patients.

I'm scheduled for 10/13 and started liquid diet 9/29 but for the two previous weeks was on two shakes and one meal eat day. That "weaning" in really helped me adjust to the full liquid phase and I have not had any problems so far. Most of the shakes have an after-taste and need "doctoring" to make them drinkable. I've found warm broth mixed with unflavored Protein Powder with some Mrs. Dash is quite tasty. I also like making hot cocoa with the chocolate Protein is delicious. Just be sure the liquid is below 160 degrees so it doesn't curdle.

I too struggled with the decision between sleeve and bypass. I finally decided on bypass due to its track record and my health issues.

Congratulations I'm sure the wait will have been worth it. I've been scheduled for bypass on 10/13.

Wow beachgal2935 I hope I can be half as creative on my pre-surgery phase. I'm anxious to get started. Thanks for the encouraging words.

I'm 60 and got approval from Cigna and my date of 10/13 all yesterday so I'm flying high! I have my class and some pre-surgery tests in the next month and then start my liquid diet on 9/29. It's all happening fast now.

That happened to me a few days after starting solid food. Once I slowed down and chewed thoroughly it hasn't reoccurred.
