Im feeling soooooo down right now. It is 1:15 in the morning and i can't sleep! So today i want to my regular doctor to tell him about a problem that i have been having. I have had very soft stool for about 4 months now. All stool samples came in totally fine. So now he wants me to see a specialist to see what the problem is. And he basically told me the my surgerydate (8/15) will be on hold till the can figure out whats going on :( I bursted into tears. I have to go out if state the whole month of july. So idk what is going to happen. I just want to know whats wrong with me!!!! Please god help me!!

Don't panic they just have to make sure everything's okay before they do that surgery. Believe me you don't want to have anything else going on while your recooping from surgery. Have you been eating different? Stress too can cause issues. Make sure you talk to doctor tell him your concerns.

I know that have to make sure everything is well :( there has been no difference in my eating that i can think ok, and stress is always there. A while back my doctor prescribe any medication to try to help that problem, but no luck :/ so now i have to wait and pray

Im thinking that it is IBS, but the doctor wants to make sure there is nothing else going on. Which i totally understand. Do you think if it is IBS that there will be a problem with doing the surgery?

Shouldn't be a problem my doctor and surgeon both knew about me having IBS and still recommended surgery for me. Matter of fact it was used as way to get my surgery approved threw insurance company.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
