Stomach Ache & Diarrhea
While traveling in Europe for a month, I ate foods very different from my norm. Only 5 months post-op, my diet has been pretty simple and bland. For the last week of my trip I had daily diarrhea. I’ve been home 24 hours - have been drinking only warm chamomile tea. Still have diarrhea. Any suggestions to get back on track?

gerd/vomiting and bypass
I had daily vomiting for about 10 years with a vertical silastic ring gastroplasty. I had a revision to bypass 5 weeks ago and I can already tell a significant difference. I wish I had not waited so long.

February 2019 weight loss buds
I had a revision from vertical silastic ring gastroplasty to RNY in February. I’m 5 weeks post op. So far so good. Knowing what to eat and what to avoid is a learning process. I have been sticking to more liquid than solids most days.
