That's why we all call it the crap band, now. :-)

Thanks Joyce. I appreciate the support and hope you are soon safely on the losers' bench.
At first I did a lot of crying, but the food addict in me is thinking about having a final hurrah when I recover and then back to a low carb Atkins thing so I don't balloon up. Honestly, I am just glad to have that horrible piece of junk out and am on my way to healing. It's a longer journey than I expected, but what can I do?

Hi All,
In the past I have begged for help with ideas for my diahhrea...I now have the answer. I'm 5 months out of band to sleeve conversion. I have had diahhrea for all that time. Not enough to keep me at home at first but lately yes. I was told " watery in watery out " meaning no solid food and no solid you know what. Next it was "you eat too much or too fast", no results there. Next is was my gall bladder, so I had it out ( I did have stones). Next it was "lactose intolerant" so I tried that...no change. Next "gluten free"...no change. All this time I kept asking if I caught a "bug" and I had antibiotics about 6 weeks after surgery for a sinus infection. Guess what he thinks I have "c-diff" a bug you get when you stir up the flora in the gut and you get it from being in the hospital. I am currently taking the meds for it and have had such relief. I hope when I get off the meds I am cured, My doc has assured my I will be. So the lesson here is keep asking and if you get no good answer ask again. You know your own body better than anyone.

Good luck! You're embarking on the hardest part of this journey! It will be over in a hurry, though. You can do ANYTHING for 14 days, right?!

Im about 99.999% sure James Blunt wasn't talking about food but I am.lol.Tomorrow starts my two week liquid diet.Im hoping it goes fast!!
