I am now up to 2 suppositories, 2 enemas, and a dose of reglan to stimulate my gut....all they really need to do us leave me alone for a day or two and things will return to normal but apparently that answer will not work for my doc. I'm also doing the bariatric sugar-free diet...3 ounces of Water an hour then an ounce of apple juice and an ounce of broth or sugar free Jello. My Protein intake is zero and I'm maxing out at less than a hundred calories a day. I'm weak and shaky with a horrendous headache, go figure. I am miserable!!!

I am so sorry to hear that. I didn't realize that pooping is so important. My doc brought it up, but wasn't concerned about it. I also don't have to do the super "cleanse" pre-surgery. It's strange how it differs so much. I hope you see some action soon. Maybe prune juice???

Yup, they're holding me another night. No way in heck would Mr. Strict bariatric surgeon let me have prune juice!!! There's just nothing in me to move!!! I did nothing but shakes for 2weeks then my last 3 days before surgery had a GI bug and explosive diarrhea...so,here I lay :). Better safe than sorry, but I know if he'd just give me a day or two this would resolve on it's own. AND!!! He'd already ordered a third enema!!! Told him no, not tonight, I cannot handle this again tonight.

I don't understand what they think they are going to get out of there....I'm so sorry.I hope you escape soon. I'm doing so so.....still lots of pain and nausea. I now have a thriving case of thrush so I start on meds for that tonight and now I have to start taking Probiotics.....I don't know how I'm going to fit all this in here. I have turned to the "new whey" Protein Shots to get my Protein in a smaller package, but they are gross. Stomach cramps and still feel like I'm getting kicked in the gut.....still on the lortab elixer, but it makes me nauseous...... I hope everyone else is doing better.

I am baffled. Understand the need to pass gas, really do, but 48 hours post-op, being this obsessive seems overboard!!!

Hope you feel better soon Kat!!!

I wonder, have you asked them If there is something that's concerning them?? I wonder if there is a reason that they aren't giving you an answer for ya know.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
