My throat has been killing me. I finally thought to look at it and it was covered in white blister like things. And I've had horrible diarrhea all day. I called my doctor and he called in a pill plus a swish and swallow and I already feel a little better. My doctor was so nice too. He called me back in less than 5 minutes on a sat evening' date=' said it was no trouble at all and immediately called in the scrips, then texted me to let me know it was done. Love Dr. Jawad. It is thrush. I can't remember who just said they had thrush, but are you taking something for it?[/quote']

I wonder if this is a common thing because my mom got thrush as well when she had her surgery.

I believe it cannot be uncommon. I got IV antibiotics for the whole time I was in the hospital. That will kill off the good bacteria and allow for the overgrowth of yeast.

I have thrush and it the pits, my breath is so rank and my tongue is starting to hurt. I hope to get some yogurt in my system to have it help put the balance of good bacteria back in the old body.

I think because I'm on Clear Liquids until my first post-op visit is why I have it. Oh I pray I can move to full liquids. Yogurt can save me lol!

Had surgery on the 24th Wednesday. Well actually, I'm like, surgery? what surgery? I feel amazing! Every now and then a runners cramp where my lower incisions are. If I could drink normal, I would forget I had the procedure done. About to fly home from San Diego with these tight compression socks on. Can someone please tell me if I can take these things off for the flight? They are so uncomfortable under my jeans. Thanks.

Leave them on especially for the flight and sitting. They help in preventing blood clots. We want you home safe.

Thanks. I can't stand them, but I want to do what is best for my health. Looks like I will be compressed the whole way home.

I know this is a crappy issue but anyone having dark stool? I had my first bm since the surgery and it seemed soft but fine but today (day3) I had another bm that was dark in color. Any help or knowledge is appreciated. I should also note I started an Iron supplement today.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
