Thank you and yes, I think I have figured it out I take 1 equal in my coffee with FF unsweetened creamer in my coffee and as Batwoman stated it has that sugar alcohol in it so I will start using rhe fairlife I guess as a creamer and try Stevia for a sweetner! Thanks so much!

Pooped from Pooping
Okay RYN Family, I am 3 months post op! Started my regular diet Wednesday and even before, I have been pooping everytime you turn around! I drink and wait 10minutes before eating and after I eat I wait 30 min. It still seems as if I am drinking, eating and pooping. My butt is having a romance with the toilet paper and I am hating it! One day I wiped so much my butt split! I know TMI! I hope this will resolve soon! I went shopping today, I hate eaten my breakfast did not have anything to drink a matter of fact was afraid to drink 30 min after the fact but my stomach rumbled and made obnoxious soundds I was so embarassed! I went and got me some Gas X to take right then and there! On the way home, I didn't know if I ws going to make it or not! (I made it barely) I remember my dietician saying, "Do not trust passing gas, and some people wear adult diapers!" I refuse to do that but not to prideful to wear a pad. Any suggestions or encouragement of this to shall pass! Thank s everyone!

BACK PAIN
Hello Family, I woke up yesterday morning and had lower flank back pain bilaterally! First thing I thought was kidneys! I have been getting in at least 64 oz of water not counting my coffee in the morning! Only thing I think is the guilty culprit is I tried a Coke Zero and thought how amazing, it took me a whole day to get it down, so I had another one the next day and the next! They are 16.9 oz bottles but again it takes me all day to get it down. I just sip sip sip, my urine is a little darker than usually and so I am thinking that is the problem because as I am typing this, I realized it took me all day to sip the coke zero, I really wasn't getting in my water like I needed to be! I may drink 2 bottles of water and my coffee! See, there talking it out (typing) made me realize yes that is the problem! I go to my regular physician tomorrow, so cannot wait to see what my blood work is going to be like! I continue to take my multivitamins, calcium and thiamine! I am officially 10 weeks postop, 222 lbs 37.5".
