Taking Imodium



Recommended Posts

I'm about 5 weeks post op and was having bad Constipation until last week when I started to have very bad diareah. Yesterday I took imodium, I was in pain for hours, it reminded me of first few days post op pain and cramping, it lasted for hours. Has anyone else has this reaction to certain meds? Just curious.

Don't take immodium! It stops everything! My doc rx'd metamucil to control diarrhea and constipation. So far that's working better.

I haven't tried Imodium, but other meds I now have every side effect. I'm afraid to take anything lol. I took steroids for my knee inflammation, no biggie I've done it before, but not since surgery. I was so miserable. Same thing with allergy medication, it's horrible. I have noticed when I have a headache and take advil my headache goes away quickly, but can sometimes come back a few hours later.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
