I have green diarrhea as well. 2 weeks out and 4 days of Loose stool being tested now for diff c. If I take immodium it goes away but 12 hours later comes right back. Trying no lactose, trying a probiotic next will be benefiber. Any other decisions. It is wiping me out.

On the contrary PCOS can cause you to lose weight slower even with the sleeve. But it's nothing to be worried about, you will still lose way more than you would have without the sleeve.

This is 3 days post-op and about 5 weeks later. Small changes, but this morning I was able to completely wrap a NORMAL sized bath towel around myself! No gaps either!

Awesome job!!! I'm down 21 pounds from surgery day (at my 1 month post op appt. this week) and 18 pounds away from ONEderland! I've been in a but of a stall with the scale but feel like I'm shrinking daily regardless!

Finally over the 3 week stall, lost 4lbs in 4 days!

Only 10lbs away from ONEderland! Way to excited

How's all my other 4/24 sleevers coming along?!

The same thing happened to me at week 3. And I'm not doing anything wrong in terms of chatting... Im a bit more relieved to see I'm not the only one that is facing this ! So frustrating

I was sleeved on April 26th. When I got my first period post op, I felt nauseous and bloated which is normal for me. I found Hot Drinks easier to digest and Soups. I also found that I needed to walk more than I had on previous days. Is there a possibility your constipated, if so a mild laxative may help you and reduce your period symptoms. I personally had trouble digesting dairy products when I had my period. Try different foods. Even if it's just two mouthfuls see how your body reacts to it.

For my protein, I am now able to eat one scrambled egg in the morning, and have a Protein Drink during the day as a minimum. It does take me all day to drink the protein drink, but at least I know the minimum protein intake is being met.

I hope this helps you. Good luck!

Yea I would thing the extra surgery you need would not help you energy and it would take more time for recovery. Thanks for replying and I am praying all my April sleevers get their energy levels up. I am doing more steps as I am just putzing around house trying to stay busy as my work let me off for a month for the surgery. I been with them for 24 years so they just said take 4 but if you want comeback early you can. Anyway I am sure once the weight restrictions are off and I doing normal stuff steps might go down. It is interesting figuring what the new normal will be with limited calories.

One week post op, down another 7 lbs for a total of 27 lbs lost all together!

Hitting the egg stage seems exciting, but you can't eat enough to really do too much. Lol! Although I've only been in this stage for a couple of days I still drink my Protein Shakes to get my Protein in. My NUT told me that eating will get easier. I can only take her word for it. I read somewhere that the goal in phase 3 and 4 is to get in 6 oz of food. Today that seems impossible!!! Lol. That's sounds crazy to hear myself saying I can't eat 6 oz of food!!!! We'll get through this together!!!!

I'm flying in tomorrow to be sleeved in Tijuana. I am beyond excited

Good luck!

I was the same way. I cried the entire night before, didn't get any sleep and cried the entire time I was in the hospital preop because I was so scared something may happen. Once I relaxed and trusted my surgeon everything was ok. You'll do wonderfully. Best wishes and good luck.

This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.

Have just been admitted for my surgery. I didn't get much sleep last night ....a little anxious and a lot excited. Good luck to all those having their op today xx

Best wishes and hope you're feeling better today.

Had surgery at 10am this morning. Feeling surprisingly great. I feel like I had nothing done. No gas until I started walking. What's up with that? Well we did it. I'm really looking forward to this new start in my life. Let's do it April sleevers!

Officially on the losers bench! Had surgery at 7:30 this morning I am doing surprisingly well not to much pain thank God I did have quite a bit of nausea though!

Where is my fellow 4/24 crew?! Update when you can everyone!!! Wishing everyone well

Thank you so much! Likewise! I'm so excited and anxious [emoji28]

Good Luck and blessings from Australia. Mine is Wednesday. Arghhh...soooo excited for us all

My fellow april sleevers I am 2 days post op. And I'm already feeling great and ready for this journey. I too had my surgery in Tijuana, and I believe that was the best hospital dr and staff experience I've ever had. Just gotta make sure I stay hydrated without my iv now. But good luck to everyone.

I am done with all preop requirements. On day 7 of liquid diet and am starving!!!! Getting sleeved
April 27, 2017.

I got banded 2013 (lap band) and then I was able to come off my CPAP once I lost a bunch of weight and man I was DELIGHTED but then my band slipped and I gained back most of if and now I'm going Wednesday the 26th to get a Bypass and I'm so excited to look and feel like that again . It's just so hard with being exhausted allllllll the time to get anything done let alone be a mom, a Chef in NYC and try to find time for the gym! Ha! That's. A joke! Well I hope you all are feeling well and I cavy what to be in recovery mode like all of you ! Even though I know it's going to be a tough road full of Protein Shakes Soup and homemade baby food lol !

I made it!!! Finally on the losers bench... surgery was yesterday at around 3:00 pm. The gas pain immediately out of surgery was pretty intense, but it has eased up immensely! I'm walking and walking and walking this morning. Good luck to all of my fellow April sleevers. We got this!
