Struggling more
I’m almost two months out and I’ve noticed in the last two weeks I went from being constipated to have diarrhea every time I eat. The last few days I can barely keep anything but liquid down and any time I take a bite of anything no matter how small it feels like a brick in my stomach. I’ve even been vomiting. Any advice or anyone go through this?

Eating Less and Less

Pain on right side?
My pain was doing well until I picked up my puppy. I think I might have pulled a muscle on my left side. It’s sensitive to the touch and hurts now. I’m 1 week 5 days out. I didn’t realize how easy it would be
