My issue is that I have diarrhea after almost every meal. Is this normal? It is an odd yellow color (TMI, sorry). Not sure if I should be worried or not.

How far out are you and do you have your gallbladder?

Still in the same boat- now 6 weeks out, have no gallbladder. Test showed no C. diff and I cannot correlate it to a particular thing that I eat. Thought it was one of the whey Protein Shakes but now it has happened even after 3 days with no Protein shakes. I'm hoping it will clear up but have been hoping that for 8 weeks now (started before surgery).

9 days post op and visited the toilet many, many times today. And my stomach is growling and carrying on with noises. No pain just wondering if any one has the same problem?

I never had the loose movements' date=' but I still battle Constipation. Miralax has become my best friend. The Fiber wasn't working and the Milk of Magnesia would not stay down. I am hoping this all straightens out soon. I am 7 weeks out.[/quote']

I'm having the constipation issues as well. I was sleeved on Dec 10th. I go back to the dr tomorrow and hopefully there will be some "relief" for me. Might try the Miralax; thanks!!

The noisy, rumbling, gurgling stomach is very normal. I am 3 months post op and have it every time I eat. Not sure if and when that goes away.

If u don't have a gall bladder the old Rita is common. Get on a probiotic. I use Standard Process. It helps. Take Iron which clogs you too. Get on a raw Calcium and not calcium citrate. Citrate is synthetic and hard on you if no gall bladder. Use plant based products. Stick with them and you will level out.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
