Are you taking Iron supplements? Iron makes the stool dark green and sticky.

There’s iron in my bariatric multi Vitamin

I’ve had very dark green almost black very sticky bowel movements since my surgery on Nov 17

Talked to surgeon yesterday he said sounds like old blood from surgery and didn’t seemed to be concerned. I asked him when should I be concerned and he said if it doesn’t clear up by one more week.

Anybody else have this issue? How long did yours last?

I didn’t do it guys 🤤 I just had the Turkey broth. All good.

Week 2 out

Can I put in my mouth and then spit out 😂😂😂 it’s really hard to cook and not being able to taste test anything. Flying blind here

I’m tempted lol

Thank you

My week 2 says scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt

I’m still considered liquids. How do you I liquify scrambled eggs? Can I just boil an eggs and put a tad mayo and blend it? I’m so confused why scrambled eggs is on my week 2 😂

I don’t have my post op nutrition visits until the 14th

I am drinking Gatorade Zero and Smart Water in. Can’t seem to fit my Protein

I was sleeved almost a week ago. My Week 1 plan says I can have Decaf coffee.

I love the taste of coffee and decided to try it with adding my Protein Shake to it. I went to Starbucks and they suggested I get a ice Americano decaf. They guaranteed they didn’t put in classic Syrup or anything additional.

Came home to mix my Protein shake and Decided to look up info. Google says decaf does not mean No Caffeine 😲 especially from Starbucks.

I am struggling with dehydration. Has anybody had any issues with this combination end of week 1? I really need to get my protein in and was looking forward to this 😹

I am a few days post op and I am surviving on Smart Water and Gatorade zero. Having a hard time getting in my Protein.

I didn’t use this MD but I had a similar experience. I honestly had all my appointments with the PA and wasn’t 100% sure who the MD was in the OR until he introduced himself...and then it was lights out for me. I was fine with it, I care more about his surgical skill than I do if he spends time with me while I’m awake. I think it’s not uncommon!

I do too however his office staff isn’t the best lol so I am like is he just as unorganized. They miss big things like sending me to get labs done or telling me twice before a test I have to fast.

I just had my surgery on the 9th. I was switched from a bypass to a sleeve due to a hernia down low near my c-section scars, but my doc did fix a hiatal hernia while in there as well.



I was there a little over 24 hours, they had talked of sending me home the same day but my nausea was vicious coming out from anesthesia and the phenergan they gave had me so tired and loopy I wasn’t going anywhere. They got me home right away after shift change the next day after I’d been up through the night walking.



They gave me a heparin shot before my surgery, and then 3 more afterwards while I was on the surg floor. I wore scd’s while there as well as Ted hose...I was told to wear the compression socks for 3 days post op at home.



I would talk to your doctor about your fears and anxieties surrounding potential clotting issues and go from there. My doctor and his team were/are amazing. The floor nurses and staff-amazing! I’m sure yours will all be too, and they will all want you to be comfortable with the care and rate at which your recovery progresses. You will do Fantastic, but you owe it to your own peace of mind to address your concerns before the surgery. Best of luck to you!!

Thank you for the insight. I’m starting to feel alittle better

I don’t see why they wouldn’t let you stay overnight if you need it. If you are relatively young and good health you likely wouldn’t need the clot medicine.



I was pretty paranoid about clots too but in the end it was good because I was up walking a couple times every hour. This helps you feel way better, faster.

I’m def not the youngest. I’m 38 with high blood pressure. 5’3 weighing 258. I was suppose to go to a hospital and stay overnight until I went from insurance to self pay. Once I went to self pay I became outpatient. Obviously they did that to bring the amount down. I just am worried they are cutting corners to keep the costs down.

I am having outpatient surgery next Tuesday for Sleeve which is starting to set in and I’m freaking out. They told me I will be there only for 3 to 4 hours..... depending how I do on recovering from the Anesthesia. Doesn’t that seem too little of time?

For some reason I am most scared of a Blood Clots. ( I am a hypochondriac) I have high blood pressure and they may also correct a small hiatus hernia in my stomach.

Did everybody get blood thinners post op form home? My Dr only prescribed the pain medication and nausea medication. Is blood thinners usually only prescribed for people with previous blood clot issues? I’m also scared of getting COVID while recovering. I’m terrified of getting it and my body too weak to recover.

Again I am a self diagnosed hypochondriac, so trying to separate my anxiety from reality 😂
